This strategy focuses on increasing the skeleton king's damage reduction and survivability without losing damage output. This "SK" build is designed to be an amazing tank and hero killer.

	King Leoric - The Skeleton King Range: 128 \| Move Speed: 300 Primary: STR Str: 22 + 2.9 \| Agi: 18 + 1.7 \| Int: 13 + 1.6 Damage: 54 – 56 \| HP: 568 \| Mana: 169 HP Regen: 0.91 \| Mana Regen: 0.53 Attack Speed: 1.39 \| Armor: 3
	Hellfire Blast (T) Leoric launches a sphere of hellfire from the end of his sword, causing his victim to burst into flames. Deals damage and stuns for 2 seconds. Level 1 - 100 damage. Level 2 - 150 damage. Level 3 - 200 damage. Level 4 - 250 damage. Mana Cost: 140 Cooldown: 8 Comment: This is your hero ganking/killng skill. Skeleton King has a low mana pool so this is not spammable until mid to late game.
	Vampiric Aura (V) Allied melee units within 600 AoE gain hit points when they hit enemy units. Level 1 - Gains 10% of attack damage. Level 2 - Gains 16% of attack damage. Level 3 - Gains 22% of attack damage. Level 4 - Gains 28% of attack damage. Mana Cost: N/A Cooldown: N/A Comment: This is a great skill that will increase in value mid/late game. It combination with the Skeleton King's high critical strikes you will find yourself not returning to base to heal yourself.
	Critical Strike () Gives 15% chance to do more damage on an attack. Level 1 - 1.25 times normal damage. Level 2 - 1.75 times normal damage. Level 3 - 2.25 times normal damage. Level 4 - 2.75 times normal damage. Mana Cost: N/A Cooldown: N/A Comment: Do not let the 15% deceive you! This spell prots, activates quite often and deals massive damage at level 4.
	Reincarnation (R) When killed, this hero will come back to life at the cost some mana. Level 1 - 300 second cooldown. Level 2 - 220 second cooldown. Level 3 - 140 second cooldown. Mana Cost: 100/ 150/ 200 Cooldown: 300/ 220/ 140 Comment: This is arguably the best ultimate because you reincarnate with full health and mana. (I will discuss the importance of this later).

This has gotta be the most noobfriendly hero eva, in fact, i used him as my first hero, 1 acive skill that is stun AND damage. Items:

BattleFury X 2 OR 1
Heart OR Assualt Cuirass OR Amulet (I only used the amulet once on SK)
Orb item (No YnS)(I tried Stygian Des)

Item you shoulod not get:
Eye of Skadi- Sure it will be nice, but it is not worth the price, because the Int is a mass waste, you only have 1 active skill. It would be a lot better to get 2 Battle Furies for the same price!

Remember this guide is over 2 years old.
Its an ok build but I prefer the other version over this by far. I dont really go for armor-not many do. Everyone is about OMG REGEN! I DO see lots of str get the armor that adds spikes to you...can't remember name. Both guides recommend Skadi though i think Deso is better to some degree. Id rather get a heart and Deso for my play style.

hurts

For the Buriza-do Kyanon, it doesn't "stack" technically but it still owns. That is because you can get 2 strikes with 1 hit :D

So for example:

100 base dmg X 2.75 = 275
X2.2 =220

Some times you will see 2 numbers stacked on top of each other. And I believe they both benefit from the vamp aura.

/ the sven stun and leoric stun was the same some versions ago

0/10
bad build and u dont even know the name of the stun.

Storm Bolt is sven's stun.

refresher for 1 spell is a complete waste. + as you said, you got a low mana pool. so getting refresher wont allow u to spam as much stun as you should.

Armlet
BoT/PT
HoT
Shiva's
Battlefury
optional item to counter your enemies:
example: HoD / BkB / Diffusial / Linkens

where's the amulet in your item build ?

238 By scorntinel 2009-04-30

Why do you equip King Leoric with Refresher Orb? It refreshes only active skills, and Reincarnation is passive. Maybe I am wrong, but I'll try it.

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

233 By venomftw 2009-03-02

great guide i love it

232 By streetkiller00100 2009-03-01

abt the skill build:

u shudnt up critical strike and lifesteal, coz early game bo use. Up hellfire than stats is better....

231 By streetkiller00100 2009-03-01

skadi is nt suitable for sk. Skadi gives little damages and it costs so high tat i cn buy a Divine. Do u nid slow? in late game, u got enuf mana to use Hellfire... and y dun u try Armlet and deso? when sk life is low, on armlet and keep slashing the enemy, look at ur life bar, when u off, u gt back a great portion of hp liao. Satanic and refresher? i hav no comment... My build for him:
Armlet
Deso
Travel
Heart
Radiance/Divine (if u fat)
Assault

bleh..lemee rephrase my last comment: phase, AC, 2 energy boosters, arcane, refresher: phase for a good chase, energy boosters for spam, arcane ring juhz in case ur oom and u wanna use ur ult, and since you get reincarnated w/ full hp, you shud hav no problem to cast refresher and so some stuns with 1 more reincarnation...or u can get rid or 1 energy booster and grab an aegis...woohooo
