Follow this guide well. Buy the three starter items and nothing else apart from claymore and amulet, easy to deny creeps seeing as range is huge!

I'm normally getting very high kill/death ratios or flawless game play with 20+ hero kills with this guide :D

Nice guide mate, i like it soo much. Tq for sharing

For me, I would like to recomend to rush for Hyperstone at my number 1 expensive item before shadow blade.

It will help you a lot to take care 5 simultanious creeps or every 1 on 1 fight hero except the mighty lvl 6 Huskar or lvl 6 Riki.

Oh and on the note of lifesteal, don't waste your time with it, start using that shadow blade properly to escape and attack from another angle, once you get mjolnir you'll have hard carrys on the run, team up with a good support like Lich and have them take mechanism

Great build, really got me off to a good start with sniper but I would suggest ditch the Daedalus and concentrate on hyperstone and then upgrade it to mjolnir, good sniper needs a fast rate of attack and I've killed many a hard carry without even completing mjolnir, great guide +1 thanks for helping me realise the power of the sniper!

On sniper? It would be completely useless, first off, he barely has any health to regen, he also won't be taking damage...since...ya know...he's a sniper. Even if he were to take damage, only two possible situations could result: 1. Shadow Blade kicks in, and you get out of there. 2. You die...instantly.

Picking up lifesteal on sniper is essentially useless because of how squishy he is, if someone wanted to get a Vlad's then that couldn't hurt, but sniper has so much range that he won't be close enough to the fight to get blinked on. If you see someone charging you, then you Shadow Blade and reposition yourself in a fight.

Other then that, what Sp12 recommends is pretty standard. BKB or Manta and generally the Manta is a better pickup because of the overall defense and offence that you can use, as well as it being built out of a Yasha.

Good Guide but i disaggree on shrapnel, not at all because i see a lot of people putting it in the beggining, but you really should put it at level 10, it helps a lot to push the towers and creeps but some stats will help too. You should had manta to the final, you should have a agility item, manta is great, agree with mjolnir and deso

I like this guide, i would get Mjolnir first to farm faster because you can't be killing all the time unless the other team is ******ed.
Also, you need to add the hard counter to your build, the silencer at mid. You have no skill, you will die. Also, even if you have the shrapnel you wont have the high mana cost.
