Intro

Let me tell you that I had only played approximately 5 riki matches prior to this. Riki is a good character. Farm well at the start. Get your items. Level. Then gank. Do not feed and keep watch for gems and wards.

Hm, he seems pretty squishy and doesn't have any regen. you may want to fix that. The rest is good though

Never ever Daedalus I understand that it gives you crit whilst not behind your target but it would be much better spent on a Manta Style or the like. Why spend money on more crit when you have it in your abilities.

I can't really add to that. Why waste your farm in giving yourself crits when Riki practically has it built in? The money spent on a Daedalus is better used on something else.

I don't really like this build, even if you have a lot of damage, if the enemy team had some burst damage or disables, you'd be useless. You wouldn't even deal damage before getting killed.

You know, if you stomped with certain item/skill build it doesn't mean it is good. For example I played Bloodseeker and my item build was: Queling blade,Stout shield,Salve,Relic,Radiance. Ended up 47/0. But that is not a good build. I works in pubs,coz let's be honest pubs suck. Daedalus is pointless becouse you have your backstab. Better get Yasha or BKB instead,or rush Butterfly. Or get Basher. Or Vladimir.
With regards,

Im with D3n1ed, there needs to be some lifesteal in there. Vlads or a HoD. you do ridiculous amounts of damage as riki and getting a percentage back everytime you strike will keep you in the fight longer, and get more kills.

That's not true, it is a common misconception that Riki needs lifesteal. Just getting a bkb and agility items is fine. They are a waste of gold.

Don't listen to this guide if you are a new Riki player, this is exactly how NOT to play Riki. Just because someone did well in a pub with this build doesn't make it a good build. As to the maker of this guide, I recommend becoming a more experianced dota player before making more guides. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
