Hand of Midas

@258 SLyfe:

I don't think its the total amount you get back from the use of the item that pays for itself, its the targeting a lv5-6 creep and getting insta gold/insta death of the strongest unit allowing you to farm that much faster. And dont forget the nice increase in attack speed.

I'm starting to love this item. I think this would work quite well on jungling Enigma's and Naixe.

this isnt worth it on tinker as it doesnt get rearmed! farm your BoT fast and then you will be able to farm faster than anyone else, BoT are a much better farming tool on tinker

Did someone try this on thinker?

I actually think this is almost always worth while on junglers or blood seeker

For instance if you are playing bloodseeker when you are fleeing or laning or anything this will heal you quite a lot because of blood bath, for jungling heroes that struggle at first clearing the most powerful creep leaves the other creeps more vulnerable giving you more money so you get a lot of indirect gold from this item not to mention a mini-hyperstone, you should have this before lvl 6 for it to be useful tho

back in the day when Lucifer still has devour for his 1st skill, i would always put midas on for a 1v1 match. hahaha

level 1 2 creeps would be decimated instantly.

nope lol because its magic immune

can you use this item for Warlock's Infernal

@260 The total cost of the item is 1900. Recipe is only 1400 (plus 500 for gloves of haste).

I find (from exp messing with it, and calculating it) it will take you at least 20 mins after getting this for it to pay for itself. The benefit you would get is you can use it on the strongest creep in a neutral camp, then kill the others easier. So when you have problem neutraling this thing is helpful, but in the end kind of a wash. You have to plan on doing a lot of farming for it to be worth while.

does anyone even use this thing...i find it quite useless...spending 2400 for killing things that dont do much :/ this thing would get sold in the end anyways, why bother getting it...much better to get demon edge or hyperstone (which is even cheaper )

easier to counter chen and aiushta with devour, doom them, devour their creep and lets level them to death

It takes forever to farm the money back you spend on a midas. It's actually not a worthwhile item.

use it with lucifer....


devour a creep and use hand of midas on another.. easy farming...

goooo farming!

Sadly no

can u use this against syllabear's bear

yes. I wouldn't get this item on most heroes though since it would take forever to get the gold back you lost from buying it.

Does this stack with other attack speed increasing items like treads?

@nllamera:

Yes, hand of Midas triggers Strygwyr's Blood Bath skill.

HandSOME Midas . .

le of minutes

Yeah, they come at you with their centaur, you pop it into gold
its a decent counter, and the hands are cheap enough that it'll pay itself back pretty nquick
