Yes counter helix works on illusions, but you don benefit from the item in other ways, so you are better off getting something else.

Did you even read the thread? I said that Split Shot is the only skill that works. Hamster said it as well.

Axe with manta is useless.

Just to say, hamster said that illusions don't get any Toggleable skills :P
Manta axe is ok as a 6th item I suppose, but i can't imagine how an axe could get 6-slotted.

Even if you get Manta Style for Axe, your opponents can just choose not to hit your illusions and avoid the additional counter-helix damage. Also, when you use Berserker's Call, your enemies will focus you and only you, so the illusions would be pretty much redundant unless you are very farmed, at which point you could get any item and still win.


Or maybe you can do a joke build with Manta first item and use the illusions to jungle :P.

It is terrible. I'd rather get anything else but that. Evasion, blademail, another heart, more armor, skadi, you name it.

tankyness and a slow that might be really good.

even mjollnir is porbably higher up there then manta since the ligting shield can do so much damage.
