This is the second installment in my military themed guides series and it's focused on Crixalis. His versatility is almost unmatched, his nuking power is feared by everyone and he is a very easy and fun hero to play. What more could you want? I'm going to teach you some of the tactics that made this scorpion famous, aswell as some detailed information about him. Without further ado, I give you Crixalis the Sand King!

What about the current phase boots? Your guide seems to stress the importance of armor, but since phase boots no longer provides armor, what do you suggest instead? (guess PT) - but what about the lack of armor then?

429 By winternightsfall 2010-03-01

Why do people insist on getting both BKB and dagger?

Either get one or the other, though dagger is just so much better than BKB on sandking that BKB should never really be considered.

If you have dagger you just shift cue epicenter and blink and auto win.

Excellent guide btw. 10/10

NicE!

420 By jamesh1002 2009-12-31

Needs a bit of updating but easily the best sand king guide out there so far

419 By djimmy 2009-12-30

Not a Bad guide at all. But instead of Eul - Aghanim and i`m 50/50 about Phase boots or boots of travel.

418 By sandallw 2009-12-30

nice guide man. i like this very much.
i'll try to make a guide for crixalis.

417 By Zaggiertjukkur 2009-12-26

Lothars - Epicenter dosen't work in 6.65 whatsoever. I don't know if anyone mentioned this before, but I just thought I would point it out.

416 By min2209 2009-12-23

And a support hero / ganker will farm up 15000-25000 items while... the other team:
1) sits back and lets you do it, while they don't farm, or
2) has their carry farm up equal items (ever thought about what Sven will do to SK with 20,000 worth of items?), or
3) are just plain dumb.

415 By static fry 2009-12-20
