Bane, Simple solo MM guide

Intro - gameplay




I wanna say again that this build are ONLY for solo MM., and my English is really bad :( so, sorry for the errors that i will commit.

Usually i don't spend all my money at starts in public games, because i should need tango or mana potion in the future.

If someone else took the animal, u can take another Mantle of Intelligence or mana potions or tango or Healing potion.



BUILD 1


As u see, in this build, i start without tango or potions, because is supposed this kind of gameplay:
Bane can take LH, tryng to kill enemy fast as soon. Solo mid or Classic double line (better top) because Bane can ganks in enemy's jungle.
If u need life, use Brain Sap

Very important is farm arcane boots fastest possible, because Bane EATS mana.

Personally i don't like start with soul ring with this build, because it resets the advantage to take HP. I prefer (if i have possibility) farm fast arcane boots

I cannot say when starts to gank, because it depends on your team composition/line composition/enemy team composition/enemy line compisition, but for sure at lvl 6 Bane will be an amazing ganker.
Simply use Fiend's Grip and Brain Sap to do an insane demage.

In late game, Bane loses his nuke power, and he became an amazing (but fragile) disabler.
In a late time battle:
Use Enfeeble on a carry
use Nightmare and after use Fiend's Grip on another enemy who could be focused.

REMEMBER: DON'T USE Nightmare on an enemy that is focused, or u will sleep an attacking mate, but u can use it on your mate if is focused to make sleep an enemy.



BUILD 2


This build is if u need to help the team as support/disabler.
Starting with tango/nightmare is safer, but less aggressive.
Maybe with whis buils is better have soul ring
In this gameplay u must help your line mate to farm, and do usual support work :)

Core Items

BUILD 1



Usully i buy this items in this order:

Arcane Boots - to have mana

Void Stone - More mana

Necronomicon - Necro is amazing if u know what it can do. If u don't know it, read HERE (upgraded at lvl 3) but in emergency situations it can be skipped with a situational item, mainly with Meka, Pipe, bkb or force Staff.

Aghanim's Shepter - Basically boost your ultimate (Fiend's Grip) and your stats. Nothing more. It can be skipped with a situational item.



BUILD 2


in order:

Soul ring - a good mana boost in early

Arcane Boots - to have mana

Force staff - Increase a little your stats and give u chance to escape or gank

wards - as u know...

Situational Items

BUILD 1



bkb - if enemy team have many silence/stuns.

blink dagger - if u need a surprise effect to gank.

Dust - 2 gank invisible-s guys in early - mid/early

Meka - if your team need it

Pipe - if your team needs magic resistance

Bottle - bottle is a MUST HAVE if u go solo mid, first item to farm, as you know..

Null Talisman - can be used if u need a boost on your stats

Force staff - Increase a little your stats and give u chance to escape or gank, but in Build1 i use it to increase my escape ability.




BUILD 2



Dust - against invis

Sentry - same

Null Talisman - can be used if u need a boost on your stats

IMPORTANT

Bane is ABSOLUTLY NOT a Pusher. So please don't use it like a pusher :)
