A great and decent late gamer hero. Mirror image + manta + critical = will surely make anyone who challenge this slithering creature cry. Because of Slythice huge potential as a hero killer, most of the guides available now focuses on using Slythice as a killing machine with almost the same item build. The difference in my not so ordinary guide is that aside from focusing on hero killing this guide also focuses on Slytice as a tactician. That’s right. This maybe your first time to hear about it but after some experimenting I found out that Slyth can cast CYCLONE too. Aside from the usual hero who uses cyclone for their combo Rhasta(cyclone + ward), SandKing(cyclone + epicenter), this guide will show you why cyclone is also suitable for Slythice.

Slithice

Slithice - The Naga Siren


Range: 100 | Move Speed: 320
Primary: AGI
Str: 21 + 2.3 | Agi: 21 + 2.75 | Int: 18 + 1.65
Damage: 51-53 | HP: 549 | Mana: 234
HP Regen: 0.82 | Mana Regen: 0.61
Attack Speed: 1.34 | Armor: 6
Mirror Image Mirror Image (R)
Confuses the enemy by summoning copies of Slithice, which can deal damage. Images take extra damage. Lasts 30 seconds.
Level 1 - Creates 3 illusion, they deal 30% damage and take 600% damage.
Level 2 - Creates 3 illusion, they deal 35% damage and take 500% damage.
Level 3 - Creates 3 illusion, they deal 40% damage and take 600% damage.
Level 4 - Creates 3 illusion, they deal 45% damage and take 300% damage.
Mana Cost: 70/80/90/100
Cooldown: 40 seconds
Comment: With maximum of 3 clones dealing 45% of Slythice damage is like adding 135% to Slyth slash power. Much better than Terrorblade’s conjure image even if his clones deals 55% of it’s damage. The maximum number of clones Terrorablade can create is only 2 which means 55% + 55% = 110% which is obviously lower than Slyth’s clones 135% slashing power and don’t forget her critical strike. With this skill you don’t need to create clones 1by 1, you don’t need to wait for another cooldown to create another one like Terrorblade’s conjure image. Just one click of mirror image and ….poof! you have 3 clones. Lastly, because of the mirror image animation (Slyth getting blurry then getting split thus producing clones) it is possible that your opponent will be confuse who the real Slythice is(just don’t use ensnare).

Ensnare Ensnare (E)
Entraps an enemy unit in a net, rendering the unit unable to move.
Level 1 - Lasts 2 seconds.
Level 2 - Lasts 3 seconds.
Level 3 - Lasts 4 seconds.
Level 4 - Lasts 5 seconds.
Mana Cost: 75/ 85/ 95/ 105
Cooldown: 15
Comment: With maximum of 5 seconds disable, good enough for Slyth to kill. With fast cooldown and low mana cost, this will make sure your mirror image will not go to waste(did you ever experience facing an opponent waiting for you to cast your mirror image and immediately run and wait for your clones to disappear, it sure sucks). It doesn’t matter if your enemy can still hit you even if you ensnare him, if he can find the real one. The only problem in this skill is that the ensnared enemy is still capable on casting spells. Which means those heroes with escape mechanism(time walk, blink, impale) can escape to Slythice firm clutches.
Critical Strike Critical Strike (C)
Gives a chance to do deal 1.5 times damage on an attack.
Level 1 - 15% chance.
Level 2 - 25% chance.
Level 3 - 35% chance.
Level 4 - 45% chance.
Mana Cost: N/A
Cooldown: N/A
Comment: OUCH! 45% chance(level4) to deal critical damage. Even if the critical multiplier is just 1.5, still higher chances is much better. Don’t forget, her clones are capable of doing critical strike, so additional OUCHES!
Song of the Siren Song of the Siren (G)
Slithice sings a tempting song. Enemy units near her are put to sleep.
Level 1 - Lasts 6 seconds, affects a small area.
Level 2 - Lasts 7 seconds, affects a large area.
Level 3 - Lasts 8 seconds, affects a huge area.
Mana Cost: 200
Cooldown: 120
Comment: Best escaping skill ever. Just one click, poof! All enemies around you in a huge radius is sleeping. Great in saving your reckless allies and great in saving your reckless self. Can also be used in engaging in battle. How? You’ll see later. It is not similar to BaneElemental’s nightmare, it does not damage and you cannot hit or even use skills on the sleeping enemies. With ensnare and sleep, there will be just a small chance for your enemy to kill you so DON’T DIE.

@ 301
Don't think so :P How can pudge stop Naga siren late game? Pudge might ulti miss on a clone and hook a clone, ensnare 4 vs 1 will make pudge definitely ragequit.

sadly Pudge pawns Slithice , i consider him the worst enemy for
Slithice

hey good guide.would like to add a build i played the other day.naga's illusions become stronger from items which provide +x to all atributes.therefore for strong illusions get eye of skadi.My build
1.Power Treds
2.Vladmirs Offerings (aura to not affect EoS)
3.Eye Of Skadi(Illusions stronger + slow)
4.Manta Style(More illusions for more carnage.
with this build i got a rampage(5 kills at once)!Naga is dps so 6 naga's, which are strong thanks to Eos +25 to all attributes,means total ownage!

your illusions will NOT benefit from neither vlad's or assault cuirass. and treads won't benefit your illusions a lot.
since manta isn't orb effect, i recommend you get manta and diffusal. then you are 6 nagas burning mana.. and your illusions will benefit from all the stats both items provides you.
and BoT is the only boots that are good for naga.
if game continues, a butterfly is good though your illusions won't benefit from all of the things. (heart could be another option)

first of all, nice guide. . .
i want to correct ur skill build
ensnare
mirror
ensnare
mirror
ensnare
sos
Max ensnare
max mirror
stats
Sos
stats 4x
sos
max critical
stats till end
why crits last? Because at early game crits SUCKS!!! Imagine at lvl 7 naga has 60 damage, the crits proc, and u just get 30 bonus damage. But when late game, naga has 150 damage, crits proc, n u get 75 bonus damage. HURTS!!!!
change Assaukt w diffusal, sir. Stats will benefit u n ur images. Feedback is carried by ur images, render the mages useless. Purge will increase ur disable capacity.
hope it'll help. 8/10

297 By Shinju 2010-01-06

Ensnare a meepo? LOL All 4 poof = 1.2k instant damage

296 By Brian_bg 2010-01-04

Tons of noobie comments.. :`( and a noobie guide.. :/ How AC is your core item... and the explanation was so stupid.. More IAS - More Critical.. WTF ?! The only one with IAS is you .. your 5 ILLUSIONS DON BENEFIT FROM DMG AND ATTACK SPEED ITEM ... all you need is stats, stats, stats.. Treads, Vanguard (optional) Yasha, Diffusal, Manta, Butterfly, Vlads, HoT. This will make you scary even for Troll..

noobie guide.

really good hero if you are new to dota. 2 disable can save ur ass. if u play warcraft 3 normal map a lot. u probably can control multiple units quite well. critical strike at 45% chance is imbal. i am msging ice frog to change it.

291 By aznxboix852 2009-12-14

I'm just saying, Naga is actually a beasty EARLY game hero. My items for early are 2 wraiths, agility treads,

Level 1 - Mirror
Level 2 - Ensnare
Level 3 - Ensnare
Level 4 - Critical
Level 5 - Ensnare

From here, you can easily almost kill if not kill them. 1 on 1 though.

Hide a bit in forest, one push lanes, mirror, ensnare targeted, and then just attack. Done wonders for me. Level 7 = pretty much over with level 4 ensnare and possibly vlads which = more dmg

290 By cr9 2009-12-14

no need vladmir on naga.

285 By gto3003 2009-12-08
