Agi/Int type SK

IMO, most SK users get Storm Bolt first for early harrassments and early support if your teammate is in trouble. Nice guide though!

nice skill guide ... ty

ok, i have a few things to say about this strat.

first: vampiric over storm bolt?

vampiric is weak when you have a weak damage, you are already fine with a RoR and maxing storm bolt rather than getting vamo aura first. storm bolt's mana cost remains the same for all levels, so if you are worried about saving up your mana,well a lvl4 and lvl1 storm bolt is the same in terms of manacost at lvl 7. max vamp aura when your damage is somewhere near 100, which means mid game. storm bolt's damage is also pretty strong in early game..in mid game when youd decided to max it, it's damage is already negligible.

second: you are getting mask of madness then satanic???

and hyperstone is a great item wth sk btw.

decent effort though :)

and i also don't understand why you call this strat agi/int type sk :)

There is a problem with the refresher orb build: Skeleton King already has little mana, he needs mana to reincarnate too. Also, he needs mana for Storm Bolts. If you want to chase down a low life enemy hero, be prepared to spend 140*2 = 280 mana straight for a potential kill. You also need 275 mana to activate refresher orb... and bkb too if you need it.... not worth it.

I would use the perserverence to make linkens sphere instead.

Skill wise, I would put the first skill point in Storm Bolt. Whether you want to max it out early or not thereafter is up to you.

you are crazy king leoric is a strong heore no a inteligence heroe he don`t need de refresh and dont use satanic, the other items can you use are sanga&yasha, recarnation, monky queen bar, and if you can davini rapier

Hailstrom's ryt cuz SK only got a small amount of mana capacity so if u use the refresher the mana will go the 2 sero its useless!!! think 1st b4 u ryt!!

Hm, i seem to disagree with shadow that SK shouldnt use satanic ... I tried it and it seemed pretty fine. With the life steal and his vampiric aura, he gains a deal lot of health each hit ... Though i have to agree that refresher ob is redundant.:( Also, i have a question here, I wonder if SK should buy aegis of immortality ... Does the reincarnation stack with his skill? I was wondering if it does, it would be great, he can reincarnate twice w/o the worry of dying ...

gotdamn.. jst buy 6 bracers den buy items for ur team m8s! dey'l tnk u for it..

good items for SK:

1. power threads
2. sange & yasha
3. battle fury
4. heart of tarrasque
5. buriza do kyanon
6. satanic

good items for SK:

1. power threads
2. sange & yasha
3. battle fury
4. heart of tarrasque
5. monkey king bar
6. satanic

i'm sorry
my first comment is false, the second is true. SK should not use buriza

Hmm... I prefer attack type sk...
Boots of travel,S n y,2 mkbs,linken sphere,heart of tarassque... or a battle fury will oso suite sk...

i do not like this strategy at all! i think is absolutely wrong.
king leoric must have satanic, a monkey maybe , buriza and a hyper stone.

are poutana leoric sfakse kosmo gamw. . .
tipota satanic me ti mia kai kala gamisia! mi su pw kai kana cranium basher tha spernei.
mia fora tou eixa kanei kai blink gamithikame sto gelio...

instead satanic.. use the new item at v6.38.. Vlademir's Oferring..

i never thinks SK can buy refresher orb but i will try in the real game

in WTF mode nobody can kill this guy (at least after lvl 6)

I think that Skelking item is going to be better with sange and yasha, threads, monkey king bar, radiance, heart of tarasque and hyper stone. I think that with sange and yasha at the start of the game skelking can already own because he can chase also using battle fury isn't really effective I think that using your build of items only waste money and also skelking will not have enough sp to use refresher orb at hte beginning

Do you really need refreasher orb? I mean what are the chances of dying 2 times already and if u get refreasher orb 3 its a waste of money

hey, u cant drop r.orb?

i prefer i get BF first for more efficient farming!!

I can't even play Leoric and I know this is screwed up. Definitely max Storm Bolt for a start. And all these mana comments are correct. O M G

3/10 for two reasons: 1) Refresher Orb??!? How can you even think about getting this before HoT or Satanic? Which brings me to 2) Resurrect Lvls2&3 at 24&25??!?? No wonder why you need the Orb - just get these skills early, and the cooldown will be MUCH MUCH faster. Then you won't need the orb. Just get a Void Stone to replace mana. And Aegis stacks with Resurrection, i.e., you resurrect first, then if you die again, THEN Aegis activates. But, I don't get it for the same reason to not get a Refresher orb...if you died twice, what's a third time?

why refresher??? WHY??
try this
1.Power Treads/BoT
2.Radiance
3.HoT
4.Buriza
5.Satanic
6.MKb

WOW>... teh gay.

here's my item build.... maybe u should try it..
1.satanic 2.vladimir's offering 3.power threads. 4.cranium basher 5.cranium basher 6.hyperstone.

ur damage wont reach dat high BUT u wont be easy to be killed. and for the stuns so u get to hit them more and u get hit less. and just in case the manage to run u got ur stormbolt.. belive me u can head on 2 melee heroes alone unless they are both stunners then run.

That is a very nice skill guide

to ultimatheory,in wtf mode...my friend used sk n he died...UNBELIEVEABLE...LOL

Actually you only use refresher orb the time you die once. When you use reincarnation, you will have full hp and mana..... refresher orb is not a bad item build for SK. Besides, SK has enough mana late game (sb+sb+rein+sb+reforb+rein+sb+sb)
140+140+200=440 mana 1st life
140+275+200=615 mana 2nd life
140+140+140+140=560mana 3rd hp.... you only need minimum mana of 615......

why satanic? an orb effect?
use vladimirs.

This strategy is not focusing on Int/Agil it is focusing on lifesteal. I'd suggest revision.

all hail the king of the living dead!

oh my refresher orb? i think you dont have the mana to do a double reincarnate. but if you do, its still useless. chances are, with refresher orb, they'll just kill you three times in a row instead of two

does buying 2 basher is a gud idea too? i hav got perfect kills by buying it. and also..do v rili need vanguard to be a great hero?

ok heres the best item build....first make preverence then get travel next make prev into battlefury then buy a hyperstone next get an mkb then satanic then finish cuirrass simple as that

9/10

Errr refresher? you like dying over and over and over again dont you?

VOTE KEVIN RUDD '07

after u use refresher, u won't have mana to regen! or if you do, barely... so litle that you can't storm bolt.

i think theres compensating for weaknesses, but theres also forcing someone to be something theyre not. your girlfriend should have told u that. ahah ^^

don't you think MoMadness is better than hyperstone on this guy? he has enough lifesteal to compensate for the increased damage. plus more attackspeed in battle for more critical and lifesteal. 300 cheaper thean hyperstone too. waht do u guys think/

just wrong mon not cool your refresher orb not cool reincarnation are not for killing is for surviving not rushing a enemy just becuase you got your refresher and then you can activate it and then your alive again but if you use your refresher long cool down if you use your reincarnation long cool down your enemy will not fear you no more so REINCARNATION ARE FOR USING WISELY!!! NOT FOR RUSHING!!!!!

ITEM'Z
1.Power theards(sand king has a low ASP and movement speed
2.SnY(need some speed their and damage in early game)
and o the bkb thing MANA is important for Leoric
3.battle fury(for farming)
4.Linkin(to avoid last hit skills like linas laguna blade and lion's finger so that reincarnation will not be waisted)
5.Arcane ring(so that you can rush your storm bolt and for a emergency mana if you need reincarnation)
6.Eye of Skadi(Slow and +25 all stat)

and your strategy 6/10

ops sand king i mean skeleton king
hahaha sorry i both love this 2

I am so sorry...

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...

good strat but refresher is on SK denied

wow with this you will reborn twice nice

Hey Dude nice guide. but everyone heres something 2 think about. 25% lifesteal off your aura 25% off satanic(orb effect) and 17.5% off vladamirs offering! not an orb effect perma 67.5% ls!!!! also activate satanic and u get 82.5%!!!!!!!!!!!! try it out sometime... becomes pretty OPed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

um guys sorry only 12% lifesteal off vladamirs offering. but still pretty damn good ls

ITEMS: Refresher Orb, Hyperstone, Battle Fury


Farm for: Hyperstone first (for better attack speed).. then the Battle Fury and get at least the Mask of Death (for added lifesteal)
why hyperstone first...bfyury will help you farm it faster


STRAT: farm your golds via neutral creeps..
wouldnt have to if u had bfury

aganims....

This is one of the worse skill build and strategy for him. Sad Look your lifesteal won't have any effect early game. Like 10 hp regen per hit??

i think skeleton king needs MKB

wtf??? why do u need all the int?
i understand the agi for crit...
but sk only really needs mana for bolt...and his ultimate...but if u even a half decent sk user u know that u get bolt first and that u really dont need the mana unless ur spamming ur bolt which i hardly ever c any1 do...but watever to each their own i guess...all i have to say is wtf with MoM??? u should get helm of dom instead cuz atleast u can dom a creep like khan and have him give u the xtra boost in as with his aura

oh and wtf...if ur using ref orb i c why u need all the mana...but if ur really a shitty sk user i guess i also c why u need to ref res...

-_- easy way for mana even he can do it +armor. get arcane ring. viola. =) reincarnation Cooldown avoided with refresher.

wtf are u also retarded darklord?
why the fuck do u need to refresh reincarnation? i mean if ur too fucking stupid to die come back and die again. then maybe u should b using a different hero or just get ur pc and destroy it cuz u dont deserve dota. its stupid and ur a fucking idiot...SK only has 2 mana dependent skills...1 is spammable. the other is just a maybe. u obviously got battle fury for farming & mana regen. no need for more mana regen items unless. d guide is a joke & needs 2 b delete

I woudn't get scared if I see him in person

this guide is pure FAIL
you cannot hope to kill anyone without leveling stormbolt first.

This is like the worst guide I've ever read. Sorry

This guide sux

wat can i say? this guide is really bad. Storm bolt should be leanrt very early. Refresher lool??? u dont have the mana.

this guide is tooo lewwd

...I followed the guild and got pwned. It doesnt even work. Im sorry but dont try this if you dont wanna get embarresed..(sry)

you fucking retard noob strategy.

ffs get some skills, skill hammer + bonus at start to get more mana and to survive more, crit doesnt do much dmg early game and lifesteal just sux early game , srsly go suicide u noob kid ! a'kiichi is damn right, Arcane ring rox for him, A'kiichi atleast knows how to play, go fuck yourself noob strategy
