So, this is all just purely on paper, haven't had the opportunity to test it yet, on . Since Skadi seems to be all the rage today, why can't the Lord of Avernus get in on this trend, and can certainly benefit from the health, mana and stats it provides.

Now the main thing I'm curious about is this; does the slow from stack completely with Skadi's slow or diminishingly? Because applying a 50% movement speed slow just by right-clicking sounds too good to be true.

Or could you just consider eye simply to make even harder to kill?

Why not, but how do you get that kind of farm? Hero is a support...Or MAYBE an offlaner. And his Aghs is just too good to pass out on so I think it's better to go Aghs if you want an item that gives you HP and mana pool.

If you can afford one AFTER your Aghs then yes, definitely, but it's still not an excuse to play the hero safe lane just to be a space-taking ******* and a really poor carry.

Only worth it on (semi-)carry , because only (semi-)carry will use it well enough(will get in melee range to start with). But is bad as position 1, on position 3 he won't have enough farm to even think of Skadi, and even if you put him double-hard(2-1-2), or double-easy lane, he will usually have better items to purchase:

And he should aim to finish the game by that moment, but if this drags for too long and you have a better carry so you won't have to build damage items, bkb-piercing slow is quite good to consider.

Tl;dr: very situational, only get if farmed and there is a better carry in your team.

Good example of an game.(SHAMELESS ADVERTISING MYSELF) That was going to be a though. Took over the game early, but team went way too aggressive, and had a couple really bad deaths trying to save people. But in the end, we managed to prevail.

Now, back to the Skadi. While it sounds good on paper, his support role doesn't really allow it (I was playing #4 that game, roaming with ). You have infinitely more useful items to get first, even if farmed, I'd rather get or . But you want to concentrate on those early #4 items ( is kinda core, followed by and the boots of your choice.)

You can easily roam with and level 1 . It's just stupid good.
