One of the first heroes I learned how to play without embarrassing my friends was lina inverse. I find her skills very noob-friendly, especially if you take steps to make her even easier. Though this guide could be used, with some tweaks, by expert players, I wouldn't reccommend it. Better to start from scratch.

Lina Inverse

Lina Inverse - The Slayer


Range: 600 | Move Speed: 295
Primary: INT
Str: 18 + 1.5 | Agi: 16 + 1.5 | Int: 24 + 3.2
Damage: 37 – 55 | HP: 492 | Mana: 312
HP Regen: 0.79 | Mana Regen: 0.77
Attack Speed: 1.47 | Armor: 1
Dragon Slave Dragon Slave (D)
A wave of fire that ripples out from Lina Inverse, causing damage to land units in a line.
Level 1 - 100 damage.
Level 2 - 170 damage.
Level 3 - 230 damage.
Level 4 - 280 damage.
Mana Cost: 90/ 105/ 125/ 140
Cooldown: 8.5 seconds
Comment: This is the basic skill you will be using. With stats and items to make it easier, you should spam the enemies with this skill. As it does damage in a line, after a few games you should be adept at hitting multiple targets with each cast.

Light Strike Array Light Strike Array (T)
Summons a column of flames that damages and stuns enemies for 1.6 seconds.
Level 1 - Deals 90 damage.
Level 2 - Deals 150 damage.
Level 3 - Deals 210 damage.
Level 4 - Deals 280 damage.
Mana Cost: 90/ 100/ 110/ 125
Cooldown: 10 seconds
Comment: An excellent AoE (area of effect) stun. However, 1 second cast time is not noob-friendly. Don't use this skill very much until you've mastered it. One suggestion: if you or your ally get treed by Furion the Prophet, this spell can free the sprouted hero.
Fiery Soul Fiery Soul (F)
Grants you bonus attack and movement speed each time you cast a spell. Stacks with itself. Lasts 7 seconds.
Level 1 - 20% IAS, 2% MS
Level 2 - 30% IAS, 3% MS
Level 3 - 40% IAS, 4% MS
Level 4 - 50% IAS, 5% MS
Mana Cost: N/A
Cooldown: N/A
Comment: This spell is lina's saving grace late game. I wouldn't reccommend it early game, but with power treads and possibly a sheepstick (guinsoo's scythe of vyse), it keeps lina from being completely useless late game.
Laguna Blade Laguna Blade (G)
Fires of bolt of lightning at a single target, dealing critical damage.
Level 1 - Deals 450 damage.
Level 2 - Deals 675 damage.
Level 3 - Deals 950 damage.
Mana Cost: 280/ 420/ 680
Cooldown: 150/ 95/ 55 seconds
Comment: The noob's favorite spell! This is lina's ultimate attack, dealing massive damage to a single enemy with a moderate cooldown. Use this to finish enemies, as it is mana-intensive and using it at the start of a combo is a waste if you don't get the kill. Caution: be careful not to use this to take someone else's kill! Called ksing, it is a major breach of etiquette to use this to finish someone who would otherwise be killed by your ally, especially if your ally has done most or all of the damage up to this point.

650 mana...refresh...something like 200, i am just guessing...plus another 650

well thats like all your mana gone! even though it can probably take down low hp heroes like riki.

88 By cyanide284 2009-11-07

thnks

@trissc depends on level, items, skill a good PotM might win if they can land a 5 second stun and know when/how to use invis correctly

good basic guide but desperately needs an update due to major item changes

86 By Tornado 2 2009-08-05

nice guide for newcomers didn't learn too much, but describes abuot what i do(expect that LSA needs to be leveled when leveling dragon slave). I think though that newcomers should know that refresher orb is close to a must for this character.
sorry for being so long.

85 By trissc 2009-07-31

by the way can lina beat PoTM 1v1?

84 By trissc 2009-07-31

Bravo!

83 By dare_angels 2009-06-30

don't come here and say that a guide is noob...if you think you are better, why don't you try coming out with a guide by yourself? at least he is willing to share his comments on this hero not like "you".

82 By bobbob247 2009-06-30

It's not like beginners last hit anyway.

81 By dagon1128 2009-06-30

lion is much better for beginers than lina..it is very, very. hard. to. last hit, with her.

80 By chupuloids 2009-05-20

also add refresher orb if you like.

79 By chupuloids 2009-05-20

i prefer aghanim's scepter, guinsoo and dagon, also just add BoT and also you can add bloodstone.

78 By Wartooth 2009-04-29

maybe add a RF orb

77 By Wartooth 2009-04-29

maybe add a RF orb

76 By Wartooth 2009-04-29

maybe add a RF orb

75 By Wartooth 2009-04-29

I play lina much like i play lion.
Dagon, bloodstone, BoT, scepter, done deal :D
If you feel like you need an escape you go for lothas not dagger imo.

74 By dvd-video 2009-04-25

ty man
should i get dagger for her since shes so weak?

73 By ShurikenOo 2009-04-18

Noob in one way.

When you said to hit two enemy heroes, target it slightly behind them. That wont work. You have to target in front of them. Dragon Slave works by targeting in front, because it travels further than the target. For all the noobs say that this is a good guide, go get a life.

72 By garruk 2009-04-17

i think using a bottle is more effective than having that boots and sobi..
you can also buy ur dagger instead of boots becuase lina has a low hp thats why quick escape is more important..
