i prefer
euls
BoT
Bloodstone
refresher
Aghanims
manta or necronomicon,(well they will attack the hero ill shackle if serpent wardes are still on cooldown

120 By Shadow_Shaman 2009-10-16

and my build is dagon,aghanims,refreshers,BoT (for teleporting) ORCHID MANAVOLENCE,

119 By Shadow_Shaman 2009-10-16

voodoo first? no...not for me...i master shackles and den fork...so i shackles d enemy then wards then Voodoo then fork..if u have dagon den use it to kill

118 By trollleader 2009-09-25

i love rhasta euls wards lightning shackle voodoo hex if hez not dead by then another lightning

117 By mynamejesse1334 2009-07-27

@alvin95 that is why you shackle/voodoo/guinsoos/silence while they are in the wards :D

116 By ShiceImNice 2009-07-01

i dont really like this guide
in my opinion you should have gathered these items after finishing early game:
- euls scepter of divinity
- power treads strength ( gives you health atksp. and speed ... combined with euls +20 ms boost rhasta is very fast )

and later i ll go for orchid and afghanims because the silence of orchids and the ward increase are deadly.
when heroes are in trapped in that massive snakeward spell after using euls u shackle + voodoo + silence (orchid)
-> boomboompow

115 By alvin95 2009-06-14

ppl with phase boots can walk right thru the wards O.o

114 By salisbury_steak 2009-06-14

Thanks for the comments Vatiz!

I see your point in just using BoT instead of Treads. I'm still farming for an Aghanim as a core item though. And you're right, I have let go of Refresher (unless it's for fun) and instead replaced it with necro/euls/guinsoo.

113 By haseo099 2009-05-29

Good guide

112 By Vatiz 2009-05-24

@Salisbury_Steak

1. Town teleport - saves you alot of time and trouble sometimes
2. Empty Bottle - your a INT hero so you should build up your mana Regen.
3. Treads - your Not DPS and your Better off with Boots of Travel /free TP and Maximum MS from Boots.
4. Aghanim - Good Newbie item but later on you'll find Guinsoo to be better once you master Ward Trapping.
5. Refresher - Rapes your mana and not really necesarry, other than its a fun item especially in 1v2.
6. Shiva - nice but not needed.

111 By salisbury_steak 2009-05-24

I'm new to DOTA in general, and after playing around 15 heroes so far, I love Rhasta!

I am using this build:
1. TP
2. Empty bottle
3. Treads
4. Aghanims
5. Refresher
6. (If time/gold allows) Shiva

What do u guys think?

110 By Lethoz 2009-05-11

I suggest having this build if your 1v1-5 and quite new with Rhasta.. in other cases its just too expensive and extreamly selfish if your playing 3v3 - 5v5.

1v1 (8/10!)
5v5 (3/10!)

109 By Malk_el 2009-04-25

It's so easy to farm w/ Mass Serpent Ward ^^ which you should not waste ^^

108 By HepatitisB|TWinsane 2009-04-18

which u dont need unless ur not pro

107 By HepatitisB|TWinsane 2009-04-18

and for skill build:
do Forked Lightning and shackles first then voodoo cause u use them for escaping and disabling

106 By HepatitisB|TWinsane 2009-04-18

i would change dagger and ring for necronominicon lvl3 and vladimir(or shiva's guard either way).

105 By Lethoz 2009-04-07

Yeah come to think of it, he's getting some items he doesnt really need and in the Wrong Order and has no good early game items.

the Skill build is also crapy and it makes you weak early game.

i would rather get this:
ITEM Build:
Bracer x2, Euls, BoS, Soul Booster, Aghanim, BoT, KDoE.

Skill Build:
FL,HS,FL,HS,FL,MSW,FL,HS,HS,V,MSW,V,V,V,S,MSW,S - S.

NOOB GUIDE! Try 1v1 w/ me in Garena...
You can pick my hero...
Use rhasta! Pick my hero...
I promise you can't buy that build at lvl18...You suck!
Very noob guide..! Wrong skill build!
Play w/ me in Garena .|c00000000bLNk

103 By pogita568 2009-04-01

i prefer fork lightning over voodoo..
at early game you could kill enemies within lvl 3-5 w/ teammate...
the disable time of shackles in early game is enough to kill heroes w/ wards...
don't need voodoo in early game...
forked lightning is also used to farm easier, harass enemies, kill, etc.
this isn't a nice guide for me...
probably i will show you the one which is better...

102 By Mentalcowman 2009-03-18

best counter to rhasta is silencer, 4 second silencer after every attack, your forced to buy BKB or your combo gets totally ruined.
