first of all, not maxing out LSA asap or at least 1 level of it is the biggest mistake. although LSA is hard to aim, it can be mastered with a little practice. also, Power Treads for Lina is not really recommended. a BoT is much better for farming and escaping..
I might consider grabbing LSA at level 4, but keep in mind this is for new players. I think, when you're new to DotA, an untargeted AOE stun with casting time is a bit much. The stats really do help her spam, especially if you have the sobi mask. You might get fewer kills before level 6, but you'll definitely help dominate the middle lane.
As for BoT, I go for treads for the iasp, which helps lategame when all lina has going for her is iasp.
what different in strategy will u make if it is for good players?
getting boots of speed first is a no-no first of all she is intelligence so she doesn't require speed yet and she would benifit much more from a ring of basilus or rings of regeneration
Fadi: I think there is already another lina guide out there. I may make another guide for her in the future, but briefly: Max out LSA and dragon slave, LSA first, and work with teammate to get massive kill streaks in the middle (zeus is a perfect teammate for this). Your basic combo is LSA+dragonslave+your teammate's nuke of choice. You could consider grabbing a level 1 dagon before your scepter if your mana can handle it. Basically the biggest change is you become a hero hunter/killer rather than a pusher and a ganker. It's tougher, but a much better strat for lina.
Jake: a ring of regen and a ring of basilisk is a good suggestion, and a viable alternative to boots. I like boots because it lets you get in place for your spells faster, and you are more likely to get a dragon slave that hits two people before they see you coming and scatter. Nevertheless, the ring(s) of regen and/or treeeaters would also be great. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Fadi: if you're looking for a lina guide for good players, check out infernalscout's. It's not exactly how I play her, but it's very close.
sorry but what is infernalscouts?
Scepter build Slayer. Best for a rush game. Ends up as support late game with guinsoo and LSA. IMO, I think it's better to teach new players how to target with LSA than to hinder your early game by not getting it early. They will have to use it at some point. Telling them to harass early game will also help in getting the kill. Overall, fulfills its aims, but lack of LSA makes it harder to accomplish. Suggest other items they can get to improve their gaming.
Strategy Rank: UNSTOPPABLE. It's generally ok, but I don't like learning stats early game, especially for a hero with pathetic life.
eu should buy this kind of lousy item
eu should buy Aghanim`s Scepter,Refresher Orb,max dagon,boot of travel and Guinsoo`s Scythe of Vyse NOOB WRITER
eu should NOT buy this kind of lousy item eu should buy Aghanim`s Scepter,Refresher Orb,max dagon,boot of travel and Guinsoo`s Scythe of Vyse NOOB WRITER
Double-posted, incomprehensible, and flaming. Charming. Grow up.
REALLY WAT THIS KIND OF SLAYER AT LATE
GAME HOW TO KILL
Dont get treads get travel
does't for newbie or pro. light strike's must have. u r a such newbie at lina. if facing a 2v2 or 1v1 game, ultimate's must have, i once used this build owned centuar and omniknight. sure, lina's stun's hardest one, but dragon's usually for last hit or full mana harrass. there's no need for sobi mask. yes, more nuke at early. but ring of regen.'s more important. by lv 7, u should killed one and go back to heal, buying dagon if u got money. sure, scepter's good. but only adds a few dmg, dagon's much better. bot's must have, then guisoo and buriza. don't write again. feel lame reading urs guide
@sjcrwjackie- Of course this guide made you feel lame when you read it! You should realise that you feel lame because your English is so poor you can't understand what the author is saying! I suggest you should go and take basic grammar, spelling and punctuation classes, the local kindergarten should be just your level! You know you should feel quite special! It's not often we see people with the mental capacity of a 5-year old playing DotA!
o.O good one. As for the guide, it's ok. But I ignore Treads (Boots are enough) and go for an Aghanim/Dagon maybe Refresher if game lasts build. Guinsoo's... no. Except on 5vs5, where I just might choose it over/before Dagon. Then... has anyone ever tried Lina with Eye of Skadi XD
max Light Strike Array + dragon slave.
But 1 thing I dont like lina is that his level 6 is useless agains an enemy with linking spear. so How can I deafeat that hero with linking spear.
@Lord:
I only play 5v5. Sometimes I forget that not everyone does the same.
@striker:
The sheepstick may trigger the linkens, and dragon slave might do it if you target the hero. I must confess I'm not sure; I rarely see linkens in a 5v5.
wondering is why no refresher at late game?? for over kill
hmm....Bot is way better then threads lina dont really need aspd she needs faster ms .my build for lina..
BoT
Agahims
dagon 5
refresher
guinsoo
linkens
linkens is optional depends on opponent....
WHAT IS AOE, HELP E PLX!!!
dagons charge and laguna blade (ulti) owns even at level 6 its 1k dmg
You are an Excellent teacher!!thnx
Agreed. As a newb, I find this hugely useful, so thankyou!
i tried all the inventory! pwnage!! unstoppable!
Thnx Mate
NIce Work
Its works fine
is a good idea about lina
warcraft rules!!!!!!
Ok, without reading any other comments:
LSA is easy enough to use (alright I was gonna say 'easily mastered' I did read SOME), and you need it for the combo. Ultimate I generally skip until 22-25, it doesn't help that much. Boots as first item is only great for EARLY pursuit heroes who WILL have to chase early game, I prefer to get Basilius and Ring of Regen, or just Basilius if I pick. Aghanims asap is perfect, v good. Works always. Guinsoo fine, I like Refresher more though (double the slaying) and yes, get BoT instead of Treads (another something I mighta read). I do acknowledge that this is intended for noobs, you've done well considering that - adapting it for weak-minded puny noobs! I didn't say that... haha... Nah, good job and its still pretty proish. 10/10
hey shuldnt u be advancing light strike array first with dragon slave coz it is awesome and deals a lot of damage for early game harassing or even killing if working with another hero
thanks for the information...
im still a noob.lol
but im starting to love it..
Of course Lina is a good mage, but one game i tried just for fun getting a lot of ias items, and getting her the assault cuirass, and satanic for armor and life steal.Then Guinso, Buriza and a Hyperstone, Powerthread ( for more ias). If you've noticed her base attack speed is actually pretty high itself. But when you get + 145% ias, +Ultimate, for a total of 195% ias, + life leech, and over 25 def, -5 armor aura, and >200 max damage.."shudder", i tanked lvl 25 Roshan and killed him w/o loosing any health. With that speed Lina attacks like M-16, combine that with the life leech(85% when satanic activates !) = ultimate pwng. And dont forget that she still has all the strong spells with all that gear and she can spam them ez and a lot.Also because of +70 to str from Buriza and Satanic her life problem is sloved, ull have over 2k ))
i go about the same build but i get bots instead of treads and late game i make a refresher if possible....also dragon slave at lvls 1,3,5,8 and lsa at lvls 2,4,7,9 that way when u double nuke them u get the maximum amount of dmg....now a few stats may be ok if u are constinatly being nuked by zeus or lich but if u see those heros on the game u would be better off getting either a ring of regen or getting some tangos or water
very cool is realy good to neubie players
LAME!
Sorry, i'm going to have to agree that refresher orb is an absolute must for Lina... even if you're a newbie.
If combined with sceptre (an absolute must as well imo) you get 2x 1250 damage in almost an instant... that's pure ownage on agi & int heroes and will make str heroes falter quite easily.
Cool guide, tnx.
I just think these guys should buy Dagon too...??
7/10
honestly this is the crappyest stratigie iv ever seen what in the world would u use treads for she doesnt need attack speed she depends on her spells o and why would u get sheepstick? u should get ags yes, but compliment ur ult (WITCH NOW DOES 1250 IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE)with a refresher orb rf orb would be could because of maybe if u were chasing someone u could rf and dragon slave them witch means badabing badaboom theyre dead
nice^^
Disagree with stat early game. Should max out LSA and DS. Stats later...
can the blue staff (Aghanim`s Scepter) stack
I have to agree with BibleBash about LSA>I upgrade right after the dragon salyer, when on my 2nd level.Im kinda confused about the matter power threads or BoT...You can consider that im not noob,so can you be a little more spesific?
I like your strategy and your choice of words. Very nice.
thanks for the help!!
nice work. pretty good guide!
I've only played dota for a few weeks and never defeated a bot (not even on easy) but following your guide i've won for the first time, and matter of fact 2 times in a row. Thx mate
Nice Job mate
9/10
What about Dagon and butterfly? the butterfly can be used 4 quick damage.
^^
@vincenttan:
You already have ultimate as a late game skill. A butterfly isnt of any use. And a dagon, it requires 200+mp to use. It's better to stick to LSA+slave+blade. Besides, this is a guide for newbies. Dagon is a little weird.
Anyway, this guide is rather good though I absolutely insist that you get LSA earlier. True, this is a guide for newbies. and thats exactly why LSA will be useful for escaping. Lina is EXTREMELY fragile and requires a stun asap.
I'll give you 9/10
Sorry for my noobity but how do u get a sheepstick?
you don't say anything about items at late game.
This is bad
4/10
SRY SRY SRY SRY SRY SRY SRY SRY SRY SRY
is it advisable to max out 1st skill early?
