Hello everyone,this is my first strategy guide.It explains how to play Rylai Crestfall-Crystal Maiden.It is quite different from other builds and guides I've seen so far and it is more fun to play.It is quite big and has many screenshots because I really wanted this to be a complete guide to playing Rylai,so please don't make any comments about guide being too big and detailed.It is aimed for noobs anyway,but everyone can read it to try to play Rylai different.I hope you enjoy the guide!

• Casting range: 700
• Area of Effect: 400
Mana Cost: 100/120/140/160
Cooldown: 15
Comment: A nice spell with slow effect.Damage is quite good for early and mid game but not so good for my build.Use it when chasing enemies to slow them(and damage them).

Frostbite Frostbite (E)
Freezes the target in a case of ice, prohibiting movement and attacking. Deals 70 damage per second.
Level 1 - Disables the target and deals 70 damage per second, lasts 1.5 seconds.

• Casting range: 500
Mana Cost: 115/125/140/150

Comment: This skill is veeery good because of the freeze effect which acts similar to stun,only the damage is dealt over time.So at level 3 its 70 Damage* 3 seconds = 210 damage.Very useful skill.

Comment: Now this is the skill I use.It helps your mana regeneration,and i go for it first,not nova because my strategy is quite mana demanding.More on this later.
Freezing Field Freezing Field (Z)

Level 1 - Each explosion deals 105 damage, 170 damage with Aghanim's Scepter, lasts 4 seconds.

• Every 0.1 seconds one explosion is made, for a total of 40 explosions.
Mana Cost: 300/400/ 600
Cooldown: 150/120/90
Comment: Aaahhh...The Freezing Field.The level 4 damage is with the Aghanim's Scepter.The damage it deals is MASSIVE.Note that it is a channeling spell,so you can easily be stopped by stuners like Vengeful Spirit for example.It also slows all enemies within the Area of Effect.

lol @ DR rylai

@235 Agha helps her dmg output, but it should not be rushed. Agha helps, but dagger and bkb are the core.. check those out.. http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/79029973-4.jpg

the real power of CM

Rylai + Juggernaut boots first = First blood for sure. No joke.

235 By iluvlunabutiamnoob 2010-03-05

THX FOR THE ADVICE ^^

234 By pLoki 2010-02-25

@233 Maybe but remember DotA is a team game: cast FB on someone; see your allies and even yourself crush the biten guy => GG ofc.
Aghanim helps her damage output.
However I agree with you about Lothar: try BKB instead, a simple Dust and bye-bye WW! 5 sec immunity when BKB is overused is widely enough for the 4 sec channeling: (if you can: blink), BKB, freezing field, GG. Refresher to do it again if no GG. And the cooldown is under the one from FF. Have Linken too is great with BKB: no surprise!

This is an old guide..

232 By Brian_bg 2009-11-03

1. At lvl 1 Frost nova is better than FB so I suggest 1 Lvl Nova, after this max FB and BA and ult. lvl 2,3,4 nova get at lvl 23,24,25.
2. 2 Braces, BoS and Dagger + wards/chicken are far better then Lothars/agha scepter. After Dagger think between Agha and BKB... CM is mostly support so it's good to think about Necrobook... (sometimes as a first core item) minions + bite + slow can kill a single mid hp target :)

231 By teamgary 2009-11-03

i dont like refresher as one of her core item. Double ulti is not needed to just kill,the opponent would have already escape.I would prefer blink more than wind walk. Wind walk is easily countered by dust and you wouldnt make use of the damage and attack speed. Blink dagger is already much more cheaper than it.It also gives a good positioning for your skills.
@blindedfox
Yup,aoe stun like split earth will hit. Even if invisible unit get hit by split earth,he will remain invisible.for impale i am not sure..

230 By Rampag3r 2009-11-03

fuk this noob guide

229 By Sido01 2009-10-30

thankss dude now i can do better

228 By gelo2k 2009-10-24

LOL? Rylai is way good with Sandking! hahahhahahaha Noobish guide

227 By username0zz 2009-10-10

WTF Lothar's?! Her ulti is not like Nevermore's, that she can cast that quick! what she need is dagger to position her ulti well and a BKB to be not interrupted, because a LONG LONG channeling spell like that would really be needing a BKB. What a idiot u are

226 By Shimrra_3 2009-09-01

BKB is better, especially for Rylai because she specifically needs it for the duration of Freezer only (and it bound to need to block more than one if she's doing her job right and making them mad at her).

225 By blindedfox 2009-09-01

@wilfred888

That is true even if the unit is invisible right? I have seen this a while ago. I was playing Anub when I got ambushed by Riki. I managed to get the better of him then he started running to regain his invisibilty. I did a blind Impale and I got him. I guess Linken is needed to avoid blind stuns with invisible units. Interesting.

224 By wilfred888 2009-09-01

@blindedfox

Yep, any AoE stuns will affect channeling if aimed correctly unless it is blocked by Linkens..

223 By blindedfox 2009-08-31

Invisibility can be broken by ground stuns right? (Impale, etc.)

I haven't seen this yet, but I think, Freezing Field then Lothars will indeed render you invisible. But Anub'arak casting impale across the Freezing Field would stun you right? Please confirm. Thanks!
