Stygian Desolator

wat does corruption can do?

hmm if you read it properly, it reduces armour of enemy target by 6

*Correction* Total cost for stygian desolator is only 4420, 2MithrilHammers cost 3220, Recipe is 1200 total cost is 4420.

Good item Mid game, sucks as a late game weapon, unless played along with a good damage weapon (Example : MKB, Buriz) or with ShadowFiend, which will bring the armour decreament to -10armour.

this is expensive

Hmm i used this item for chen and worked pretty well for me. However, i agree you have to combine it with something damaging like what alve mentioned. MKB would be preferable.

super 4 traxex and bone

It's terrible for Drow Ranger... doesn't stack with frost arrows.

yeah her frost arrows hardly stacks with anything but they are already so useful on their own!

i mean hardly stacks with any orb effects

why doesnt it work for drow ranger?

Cos drow ranger got her frost arrows already and if you get an orb effect for her ranged attack, it won't work for her. Maybe unless when you did not auto-activate the frost arrows

gumagana b ky drow ranger bro??

I like this on lycan paired w/ radiance wolves and howl it reduces armor so radi n wolves deal more damage. this really helps against tidehunter since his kraken shell reduces dmg by 30 corruption is a good way to counter this (it takes away his armor not shell btw)

stygian desolator is very very nice for summoning heros like chen enigma... or heros like siren, geomance... its very nice to for heros that have high dmg and very fast atk speed and if the hero with that kind of abilities has stun that stops the hero for a time to hit it like 4 times like vengefull spirit or mirana... but its not my way to play i rarely use desolator

i cant think of anyone that can use this effectively... maybe nightstalker or axe.

Is This good for Slaradar?

his ulti already decreases armour and i dont think it stacks.

Okay Stygian pwns with nevermore and his aura. He's the only hero I'm good with because of this item.

A must for geomancer. Interferes with his geostrike but fortunately not with his clones'.

how is it good for geomancer? clones cant equip items cept boots.

does the corruption stack with slardar's amplify damage?

no both are orb effects

Why doesnt some heros work with Stygian Desolator? Im very confused.

cos some heroes got skills that are orb effects so orb effects won't stack

This is also good for Kardel

does this stack with skadi if your ranged because that would be awesome -6 armor and they are slowed, so like they arent getting away and ur doing more damage
NICE!!!!

@Dazzlethis:
On each item it saids in red that orb effects dont stack. Corruption is a orb effect and the cold attack is a orb effect, so that means that they dont stack

Ranged Eye of Skadi is NOT an orb effect, and stacks with some orb effects. I dunno, it could work. i havent tried.

ive tried skadi and desolator 4 vengeful spirit but it didnt stack... im using this 4 slardar and bone clinkz and it owns!!!

EoS and deso doesn't stack.
deso and Slardar's Amplify Damage DOES stack.

when slardar,alchemist and nevermore become a teammate even roshan wont stand a chance

and each one of them have desolator

@newbie
its useless for everyone in your team to get deso as it doesn't stack with each other. however, hero skills does stacks with it.

question. can i use this on yunero or naix.

goes well with dazzel's weave.

heroes with natural reduced armour skills + this + radiance and battlefury = ouch plus u get to farm as well cos if u target a hero, the creeps will attack u, cleave, immolation and natural area reduced armour will take care of it though

one word... slardar

does this work for Kardel?

can this be compatible with razor since his attack is so fast?

what does corruption can do????

i always put this item with vengeful and krobelus

to explain why EoS and deso dont stack:

the general rule:
orb effects dont stack
you can only have one buff placer in per attack.

EoS ranged is not an orbg effect, but it is a buff placer. deso is orb, also a buff placer. both are buff placers so they dont stack

same goes for veno's poison sting
poison sting = not orb effect but buff placer
deso = orb effect and buff placer
hence poison sting and deso wont stack

i think i should not post this here but...

SnY = orb effect, maim is buff
poison sting = not orb effect, buff placers

SnY and poison sting stacks like this:
when maim triggers, no poison attack. else, you'll have poison attack
so there is 10% chance to maim, 90% poison attack

^well said

give to bone is the best
stack wif assult
sure own de

then manta style can stack wif desolator

manta style? desolator? both orbs and klinkz dont need clones

Definitly owns with Dazzle and his weave ability

Dwarven Sniper. 'Nuff said.

MEEPOO!!! Get all 4 of those lil guys and net the enemy and attack! Almost a guaranteed death =D

i dont think meepos clones can use items. but i havent played meepo since 6.41

i think that can work since wen the original meepo attks the desolator will activate...the other meepos dont have this in inventory so they do normal slowing damage.
Haven't tried it tho jus saying.

does it stack with bone's searing arrows?

IT does not stack with bones searing arrows but it's good to sacrifice that searing skill for stats if you're gonna get deso.

searings arrows arent that great unless used on buildings anyway.

assault cuirass + stygian + radiance = ownage; works on several heroes

for example tiny, levi, pudge, bristle, ....

good 4 nevermore n chen!!!!

stygian works like this.
You have it and attack the hero adn its armor is reduced so now ANY thing that attacks it does more damage as the armor reduction is teh heroes armor not your damage. This means if meepo gets stygian that once your main meepo starts atacking the armor s reduced so all the other meepos will do more damage dnot just the person with the stygians as the armor reduction is not specific with just the character holding the item. This is why people like to use it with furion because he can attack a number of times whilst the enemy is in the trees to do lots of damage adn if he manages to summon some treants to attack also they also do more damage as the armor is reduced. Also good with any illusin using characters as all the illusions will do more damage. GG.

get a curiass and desolstor for slardar. hehehe.

get a curiass and desolator for slardar. hehehe.

whoops didn't mean to post it twice

Is this item good on the Storm Spirit?

what is corruption????could anybody tell whats is it?

It is good for rigwarl, vs, sladar...

now latest version show it is best for Lanaya. It is very nicely suit to lanaya skills..

id go with the potm

what does stack means???????????????

stygian deso.mahal pa dicreasi na woi......na unsa na nu ,a..

fuck!!!!!!!2all stygian user!!!!!!!!!

as the shadow will!!!!!!!

what we do????????????????????????????
grid and tear!!!!!!!!!

slashing everything in combination with
Slardar + AQ

rikimaru+backstab+stygian=fun

Also, not exactly contrary to number 13, this item is wonderfu lon tide. Gush + anchor smash + deso. + curiass = superb armor reduction and ownage damage!

im assumin u mean comment 13, he said it worked well AGAINST tidehunter. but i do agree, it is very useful ON tidehunter too

It is useful on most of the heroes

Another word...Mortred

Wad if euu combine 1 deso wif 2 MKB...
OMG! Gay rite?

You know if you get deso and satanic they stack XD

pwede ba desolator kag skadi?

does this item stack with maelstrom/mjollnir?

GREAT for slardar, shadow feind, vengeful, and yurnero IMO (works well with omni, the decrease armor makes ur omni deal more dmg)

this+slardar's ult+curiass_nevermore's aura=lol like -25 armor r something. thats what me nmy friend did a 2v2 with and we raped

I usually get this item on kardel with lothars. Sneak up behind a hero and jus keep firing away. They'll be dead b4 they realize you're behind them. This is all mid game btw.

im seeing this on lanaya more and more. i wish this stacked with skadi =/

should rexxar get this item

Is it okay if I have desolator and Mask of Madness??

Stygian+Cuiras+Nevermore=Dadlyyyyyyyyyy

what does orb effect means?
please explain it well.

thank you!

hey!!what does corruption mean???

good for shendelzare silkwood->terror+desolator..

uuuh, buy for Lanaya! her invis ownage, after corruption pwns, use her refraction to immediately get double kill FTW. Then buy Assault because it does stack, IASP and damage bonuses owns... l8 game, and mid game for those whoonly last till then. Happy Assasinating!

do you need to activate the corruption??
just asking....

I love this on PotM

@iceice it's a passive...

this is really good for kardel he is like a rainbow shooter. and some basher, he is gonna kick some butts.

and also some radiance

pota kaung lahat

does stygian work with satanic ?

troll with satanic and stygian is good ?

use this weapon on shadow fiend.. or slardar.. -20 armor is such a pain..

hey you emer,,, wrong idea of having a desolator to nevermore and slardar...



maybe you have to jump onto the bridge...

I think emer would not jump because it will indeed stack. Amplify + deso -armor..this way slardar will hurt you without strong items. But probably his team mates will hurt you with all the minus armor you have

deso is not working on magnataur anymore....no -armor... T_T

it must be use on slardar becuz of its last skill 15+6 decrease on armour

can anyone tell me thus 2 desolator can stack i know it has orb effect, but same item with orb effect combine can increase its effect?

please answer only if u r sure for what u r telling...

tnx!

desolator stack and assualt stacks with slardar ulimate.......! that is tested and proven.....

assault cuirass + amplify dmg + stygian desolator = pain + kill = ownage! hahahaha!

it is like scadi just cheaper perfect item for vengful...

Dude, this item is godly on Dirge. Get him this, and the Cuirass, then use Plauge. From there, just follow them along with your zombie minions. ;o

can u try it to sladar w/ cuirass?

@ vlady

u said that it is super when equipped it to traxex....i don't think so

i tried it then i put frost arrows on my opponent...it doesn't slow when equipped w/ stygian deso

try to use this item with nessaj... you will see how powerful he is with this item...

I love using this for thunder keg! Man Razor usually dies when i have this thing!

even if i have 2 vanguards do you think it is still useless against deso?

of course it works best with queen of pain!!!

remember that corruption lasts for 5 seconds.

therefore, for Drow to utilize Deso,
She must hit with a normal attack (ofc w/ deso) every 5 secs. and a frost attack in between.

would be good for plague?

good item for vengeful spirit the whole game just imagine you have comand aura which has plus damage and his armor gets -5 just think of your damage

anybody help me out with this

clinkz is like my sexiest hero
but i noe his searing arrows dun stack
but can i attack with stygian first
then turn on my searing arrows???

confused

Does this stack with Nevermore's presence of the Dark Lord?

wow combined with slardar's ulti and an assault cuirass enemies will have -21armor !

yes it stacks w/nevermore's aura.....in fact, it's a very common combo for him.

get stygian desolator and assault cuirass on nevermore. maybe, 5 hits per kill?

haha hatebreed

bloodseeker + MoM + deso = GG

@6ixerz

WTF??? clinkz is a BONE!!!
how it is SEXY??
n i ting clinkz is a MALE bone...

can dwarven sniper use this thing?,,,,

does this stack with assault curiass?

Das EoS and Desolator stack for range hero like Medusa?????

yes it will stack with assault cuirass. it will stack with any aura or spell, i do believe.

any melee hero with this and vlads will be nice ^^

Any melee hero?
Dark Seer?
Pudge?
Ursa?

I admit, its mad on Earthshaker (hit them once, Totem slam, 200% amplification + -6 armour)

Good 4 gondor

EoS does not stack with this, even if you are ranged. It would be far too broken.

Imagine Kardel with Eye of Sakadi's slow and Stygian Desolator's armour reduction.

@ 136
if you are ranged (like kardel) it will stack with eos,try it out

This is the most IMBA item to Invoker. With full exort this does mega damage. And
with full wex imba speed.

Yeah for Dwarven Sniper its good after you get the basic items...sniper can deal lots of damage with this one !!Its awesome but if you want a farmer/stealthy sniper Id rather recommend maelstorm so your attacks stay with the original graphics..with this item your attacks become coloured giving you away..it takes away snipers almost transparent attacks...its like taking off the silencer off a weapon in order to do more damage

**On a side note the chain ligthnings from maelstorm will give you away eventually but its worth it because its a chance based event!!

for people who are addicted to this item and 2nd orb effects try vlad + deso on melee heroes... lyfsteal and more dmg... just a personal experience though

best for kardel

i use it 4 clinkz.... is this item good 4 mirana???

POKEMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not Worth 4420 and -5 armour for orb? wow... much rather have 15% life steal anyday....

sorry i meant 6 armour -____-

sorry i meant 6 armour -____-

i use this with rikimaru when farming, kill teh creep then back to being invis.


then you can de-do.



also its good for heor killing with vengfull spirit/rikimaru becasue they are fast attackers!

If i have stygian desolator and manta at the same time.. which orb effect will be used? corruption or the mana burn?
