You should edit the part about the urn charges, since it only provides 2 of them if it has 0 charges. if it already has charges, when an enemy dies near you and none of your allies with urn are close to the guys dying, you only get one additional charge.

Edit: And your support nyx has starting items worth ~750g, care to lose a word about that?

Nice guide, but i prefer to directly rush Dagon after i get my basic boots. If i get it early, then i can finish almost anyone with a single combo. I have all my mana drained, but i can just visit the fountain for refilling, as if you are choosing your targets smartly, then you will get a kill for every combo you do, you should try it sometime. As well as i agree with Bloodstone being the first item to get after finishing a lv5 dagon, as you can just spam your spells on cooldown with it.
+1 anyway, a solid guide

I do usually use to go back to base after ganks, but I normally play in stacks with friends and I typically mid. In those cases I will have bottle which keeps me filled on mana with arcane boots on top of that. I personally find Bloodstone a bit overkill, Sheep is usually enough. The bonus survivability is nice though. Thanks for feedback, will add to the guide.

I think bloodstone can be a great synergizer with Nyx. HP and mana never go wrong, and the mana regen lets you sit back in fights spamming mana burn and impale.

I am starting to think about Bloodstone more. Honestly the hefty amount of regen is a bit much. Considering the price (5050), its not something to consider before say, EB. Im going to test this a bit first, thanks for the feedback.

No need for the Bottle and Soul Ring,just get the freaking Arcane Boots and dagon as fast as possible. Bottle only if you midlane. Nyx Assassin is good on a duo lane,too.

I don't get Bottle myself. I don't really think its worth it but I've seen people do it before. Regarding Arcane Boots, I do agree they are very good for this hero. As for Soul Ring, it's entirely up to personal preference regarding mana sustain and boots, personally I enjoy the SR+Tranquils build, but its not very common. Thank you for the feedback, I'll probably edit the guide to include this.

Nicely done Synergy, well written and thought out guide. I can't fin any mistakes with this really, so I gave to a +1. Keep it up!

EDIT: I also agree with Wulfstan, just rush you Arcane boots and Dagon, do t bother with the soul ring
