The item build order seems good however, as it points out the basics that Riki should need in order to farm without taking extortionate amounts of damage.
The skill build may be preference, but it is wrong in most cases. Only one level of backstab is needed early game to give the extra bonus, but can be kept on there until Blink Strike is maxed out first, as the 120 extra damage will be a lot more noticeable early game instead of a low agility damage multiplier.
I see that this is a full agility setup, but add BKB into your situational items, as it helps Riki get out of tough spots a lot of the time, and provides damage, and a Skull Basher for the stun that Riki kinda desperately needs.
Nice start to a good guide though, keep it up
@Bfly: Its a decent item but not so good for Riki only gives 30 Agi and the 30 Evasion doesnt do anything under the Smoke. So it doesnt help a lot too.
"only gives 30 agi" aka the second highest agi item in the game behind eth blade. Also gives +30 attackspeed and +30 raw damage.
Backstab should take priority over every other skill for last hitting purposes.
Wrong, if you need Backstab maxed first to last hit you need to practice last hitting with bots.
That said, getting a level of Backstab before level 4 is a must.
10% more evasion from Smoke Screen is better than Stats
Backstab should take priority over every other skill for last hitting purposes.
Also, your build has no flexibility - very few item are picked and you don't explain any other items.
and trz to build a Yasha after your Diffusel its a very good item even when you dont make Manta later(which is also not bad).
@Bfly: Its a decent item but not so good for Riki only gives 30 Agi and the 30 Evasion doesnt do anything under the Smoke. So it doesnt help a lot too.
@Ethereal Blade: Is a nice Item on Riki when you dont face many Caster.
I would like to hear more what you think about other Items like BKB, Basher, Manta Style ..
I would say decent start here but not rly a finished guide
