Magina - The Anti-Mage

Twin sons to the great Prophet, Terrorblade and Magina were blessed with divine powers: Terrorblade granted with an unnatural affinity with life forces; Magina gifted with energy manipulation. Magina's eventual overexposure to the magics gradually augmented his elemental resistances and bestowed him the unique ability to move faster than light itself. Now, broken by Terrorblade's fall to the dark side, Magina answers the Sentinel's call in a desperate bid to redeem his brother. Every bitter strike turns the Scourge's evil essences upon themselves, culminating in a finale that forces his enemy to awaken to the void within and spontaneously implode.

AC = assault cuirass.

"Also Ac isn't used by almost all agi heroes and magina is one of them since he dies from physical dps"

He is one of which? The almost all who don't use cuirass, or the few who do?

910 By Noo=b 2009-11-12

And what does AC mean?

909 By Noo=b 2009-11-12

Hey is it better to get treads or phase?

908 By slyfe 2009-11-12

and a vanguard. After that vlads. You could either get buriza or mkb as an alternative to bfly. The problem with magina is he doesn't really have a high amount of damage his damage mainly comes from break so what you need at that point is raw damage.

Recently i go for pms 2 bracers vlads ptreads then mkb but even then i feel he's quite soft.

Also Ac isn't used by almost all agi heroes and magina is one of them since he dies from physical dps.

The skill build differs if you're facing heavy nukers get one blink 2 shields then max break and blink you need to max blink earlier lvls. But if you're just up against 1 heavy nuker you could skip the shield.

The reason i say skip break when facing heavy nukers is because at early lvls you won't stand a chance trying to harass them.

There is no need for hod since you already have a spell shield.

You also need starter items meaning bracers since they nerfed his str gain if not then 2 wraiths

like he said that's what i meant. Get blink first then get mana break.

The same applies for every hero get the skill which will help you escape rather than pure damage. Whether it's blink, stuns, or windwalk.

900 By MAATTAAN 2009-10-30

That's what he meant, smart-guy

899 By Seras54 2009-10-30

antimage has an escape mechanism
its called blink

898 By slyfe 2009-10-30

You always need an escape mechanism first rather than damage you never know how you could get ganked.

MEkansm is horrible on anti mage. Also if you're not facing heavy nukers then whats the point of getting the shield. Team battles don't usually happen till lvl 11 onwards anyways.

Spell Shield is maximized before Blink. Most people don't wind up getting Spell Shield until Level 10, then 12-14; however, as the early game is dominated by spells, getting this skill is recommended even if you aren't against heavy nukers. Team battles will also begin occurring around Level 10, and Level 4 Spell Shield is a crucial part of Anti-Mage surviving long enough to do his part in them. Additional levels of Blink aren't needed until the mid game, where Anti-Mage turns from the prey for Intelligence Heroes to the predator. Chasing down Heroes in the early game with a low cooldown Blink is often suicidal, as Anti-Mage is weak before he gets his items and all towers are generally still up to protect the opponent. So one point in Blink is plenty for the Blink&Break tactic, escaping from sticky situations, and dodging spells.
