Techies Support

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Techies

• Ferry some health consumables with your courier to use Blast Off! frequently.
• Blast Off! destroys trees which can be useful against certain heroes.
• Look to place a couple of Proximity Mines around portals for a surprise burst on enemies using them.
• Drop or backpack items that provide you with mana before using Arcane Boots or Soul Ring.
• Sticky Bombs and Proximity Mines provide limited vision so you can scout pillars, runes or Roshan pit.
• Consider smoking yourself onto the opponents` side of the map to mine aggressively. Bring an observer as well.
• Look for pickoffs or join teamfights with your massive burst potential.
• If your teammates are pressuring, move with them, mine around them and Blast Off! when opponents clump up.
• Place a couple of Proximity Mines at the entrance of Roshan pit to scout enemy movement.
• Pick up Aghanims Shard in the late game for some extra damage on Reactive Tazer.
• Consider using Force Staff on enemy heroes to push them onto high grounds where you have Proximity Mines.
• Play aggressively in lanes and the enemy jungle with your level 7 as you have massive kill potential.
• With your Ethereal Blade, you can burst down just about any hero on the map with your combo.
