SandKing Build

Who needs Linken if you have Bkb. What if you buy a refresher that way you could kill hero the easier way. Buy also skadi and euls this could help your mana regen.

Can Radiance work for SK? I love farming..

shadowmk, although radiance would be in good synergy with caustic finale, caustic finale on its own is already a very good farming tool. good guide btw, way better than the 1st sandking guide posted here

Hmmm i think skadi is a "No-No Item" for SK. I would suggest STR items like heart of tarrasque for more HP and damage. I would not use also eul's because i think perseverance is already a good item for him. I suggested linken's sphere rather than refresher because i do think its overkill and to protect u from a spell once BKB is still in cooldown

em usuallly once i get BKB i would go for S&Y to increase att speed and movmemnt speed then bouriza

Unless you're very confident that you can afford to slow down your farming, do not buy any orb effects (melee Skadi, SnY).
Refresher is indeed overkill. Epi cools quite fast for such a powerful attack. Burrowstrike cools WAY fast. Sandstorm cools before it ends. Caustic is permanently cooled. SK is not a caster spammer.
For the same reason, Euls is simply slowing down your buildup of lategame items. Mana is not an issue in team fights. Anyway you will have high mana regen with Linkens.
How many disables do you expect to eat in half a second? If one or less, Linkens alone will suffice. Otherwise a BKB will do. Stack them if you want, since you can farm so well, but I still think getting 2 HoT and Aegis is better for your job as team tank.
Lastly, consider a dagger which eliminates the need for BKB totally. Or mostly at least. Channel first, appear later. Press C, then click the dagger and Shift+click where you want to be in 2 seconds time.

destroyer: refresher use too much mana sand king doesnt have enough mana even if he is lvl 16-12(i believe you can build refresher orb at that levels) and lvl 12-16 just for an item that do not benefit its heroes(except for the boost of int, and 40 damage...)its better to create HoT FMO
about the strategy: plz input some details in the item (the BKB part) that BKB is optional it isnt really a priority specially if they dont have any stunner and why not add a cranium basher instead of linken
burrowstrike+epi+attack(possible stun)=kill

buy 1 or 2 bracers a the beginng, then void stone, you´ll have enough mana and mana regen, farm the get HoT.

is it ok to buy dagger of escape for sandking?

nice strategy u got there..heheheh....

i suggest the epiblink style

How bout adding a battlefury? since you mentioned perseverance. that would be a plus for sandking..

i think u have horrible skill setup max out sandstorm in the beginning it helps with creep farming too and if u use euls cyclone and cast epicenter do they get damaged?

Hmmm.... I have my own build of sk,tatz mainly using only skill n item to kill heroes... My last 6 itemz is :
1 ) boots of travel (we dont need power tread coz itz mainly usin skill)
2 ) Kelenz dagger of escape (Tiz could b useful while u r escapin or while u r usin sandstorm)
3 ) Battle fury (A must must item for sk,to improv the caustic finale and also to improv ur mana regen)
4 ) Black King Bar (To preven from being 'disturb' by oponent heros while castin epicenter)
5 ) Linken sphere (Improv ur mana regen or juz in case ur black king bar was coolin down)
6 ) Guinsoo Scyte of Vyse (The ultimate item of my sk build,if in 1 on 1 mode,after u burowstrike tat hero,no need to fear anythng,juz hex tat hero then u can cast ur epicenter savely. Coz epicenter needz 2 sec castin time,while hex has 3 sec )

Conclusion :
If u folo my build of sk,mana wont b a problem for u. U can juz usin burowstrike,epicenter n guinsoo to kill heroes since burowstrike cooldown juz in 11 sec.

u should buy a soul booster cuz it increase your mana and health and i will use SAND STORM to wait for the hero to get close then use BURROW STRIKE on him/she then use EPICENTER then hit him with normaly attack then use BURROW STRIKE again . comform KILL THE HERO . IF IT STILL ALIFE CHASE AND KILL IT

Hmmm... I disagree v fff strategy... Coz soul booster wont help u very much,if u wana ad mana n hp,linken sphere is a good choice... N... Whos tat stupid to walk past when knoing sk is sandstormin ther??? Ok,if ppl duno u r preparin to ambush them,te most they will gt kill by u jz once... The next time,then wont b so stupid again...

bugok ang panget panget ng build mo aus na sana ung bkb sa tarrasque kaso di mo nilagyan ng battlefurry at divine!!!!!

you know hat we almost have same sand king build except that i use cranium basher
but we are almost same build

buy cyclone? so while it is still spinning activate your epicentre and then by the time the enemy recovers the epicenter is ready to start dealing damage

good item is blink dagger casue as soon as ur epicenter starts pulsing blink into the enemy and burrow strike him if timed rite after a few tries practice the epicenter will do large amounts of damage as u are close to the hero and burrow strike will ensure that he aint going no where

Sand King is one of my favorite hero. Try to make a Battle Fury For more damge that epicenter can. And you can farm much better w/ caustic finale. He will be more powerful with that.

the trick is to know the skills of your enemy. if the enemy has a stun skills or any magic skills use the bkb..if not you can use the battle fury or mkb..that's only my opinion

Wont it be good 2 activate avatar then cast epi... the ppl cant stun u...

why waste your mney for dagger,
sk has brwstrike...

hide behind trees first cast epi,after finish cast,use brwstrke next to enemy,get full damage epi and brwstrke...it deals damage,better than dagger

but i'm not sure,if enemy is hit by brw strike,enemy will be on air for few time,is the enemy get damage while on the air ?

You have 2 star ratings for a reason: You entire game sections are in a SINGLE paragragraph! Even before reading, I predicted that it would be short on info... And why Aegis, BkB AND Linkens??? Sandking isn't a killer magnet... You have burrowstrike AND Sand storm!!! You paranoid or something!!!???

"nice one

make the last item mkb or radiance for greater damage

why radiance bec. if you use sandstorm and you have radiance you have +35 damage to your sandstorm so if you lvl4 you sandstorm 80+35=115 damage so the enemy will not try to put a sentry wards hehehehe

To Destroyer

you use linken for quick mana regen so you can burrow strike on creeps then explode them using caustic finale istant 250+ gold in exchange for 140 mana

you can try Lothar's with him just burrow epi then click the lothars.. ground shakes but where is sand king? but still characters with AoE stun halts the epi

anG pANgET nG cOmbi......

uhm nice guide dude i totally agree but if you guys want you can try my items ^_^


uhm destroyer... isnt caustic finale an orb effect? and skadi is an orb effects for melee heroes? so if you kill a creep it wont explode BOOM and why use euls? you can have battle fury for you mana and farm longer but hey thats one rare build i think ill try it
1threds
2battle fury=for easy money you can you borrowstrike then hit boom gold! or you can get radiance but i prefer battlte fury so that i can spam borrowstrike
3BKB or Linkens depends on you but u usually get BKB
4 Blink Dagger
5 Tarasque
6 refresher? haha LoL ive never tried it because i dont usually see many players use it on Ssand king but hey why not? or you can get tarasque battlte fury or radiance what do you think?

I think you should make more details on the items

Extremly short guide, I prefer blink dagger with him but thats just me, overall 4 of 10

umm.,. dude? it's a new version now, how can you put 9 items on your inv.?

why not buy battle fury?

Thanks dude

Sandking without Dagger Of Esacpe is not a sandking . This build is more suited for starters - na not for pros.

- Powertreads SK ain't dps hero. He's a team oriented hero. If u want it for last hit lol then u dun wanna practice the art of last hit-ing.

I completely disagree with everything. Personally, the sandstorm is my favourite attack and I use it most. at level four, you just get into a crowd of creeps and heroes and activate it. Soon, the creeps are dead and the heroes are running with low health. You then burrowstrike them and cast epicentre.

radiance is also good for sand king
