What item must be rushed first for Mercurial?

I know that Radiance must be bought asap, but Spectre is very fragile early game and its a pain the in neck to be killed when your farming for an expensive item.

definitely radiance.... early on get boots and branches.... and farm till you get a relic.... to make sure you don't die.... always carry a tp scroll.... if you see the opponents are trying to gang you.... use haunt and dagger.... teleport to one of the illusions.... use dagger and walk into the trees... then tp to safety.... repeat until you get a relic....

Radiance is a must. After that I go BOT then Manta. I dont find that Life steal is a good option as you dont want to be in a long term braul, you wanna get in/kill/get out. Butterfly is a late game bonus item. S&Y is a no for me. I can think of a couple situations were Vanguard/HoD would be in my build but not usually.

Power Treads Very Happy

Then Radiance and a couple of wraiths / bracers
Then get Manta Style OR S&Y Then Vladmirs
Getting Butterfly And Buriz or MKB is a must at late game.

IMO, I really like butterfly on him, since disperse is pretty much a big part of spectre. But really depends, if you farm for a relic early, then radiance.

I'd say Radiance, but I always suck when randoming Spectre(I never ever choose him) so it takes forever for me to 'rush' it lol.
