Magina the Anti-Hero

I'll fix this later ok if it's not that efficient

Are you sure the aegis-spellshield-cloak spell reduction will work?

ur strtergy was great.
learnt alot from it.

y mana break first to pump up? i prefer blink first bec you have alove hp its essential for escapes

i agree with jazzrukawa, and i don't prefer buying aegis for this hero

yea aegis is not needed and wheres ur butterfly i perfer that for a magina and u no need band waste of money

concise and i think precise... nice strat guide, i'll try this...except for the aegis... one thing more pa pala, will 2 bashers and an eaglehorn contribute to more and longer stuns?

yes it shud. much more effective. but wat a shame u can use manta style to T_T lol

Agree w/ Koin

Why buy agies? Waste of time and gold

The aegis is for maximum protection against magic (75% spell ruduction including his 3rd skill) so buying an aegis is worth it since amgina doesn't have high hp. spell shield + aegis + planewalker's cloak = 90% spell reduction. how's that..

2 bashers doesnt min that it will have a longer effect for stunning. instaed it will give u a bigger chnce for bashing..... hu nids an aegis if you cld run ..... try doing a mekan so that u cld hunt as early as u have already built a mekan..... sory for my english....

hmf nice strat. but aegis is a lot of wasting of money? instead of aegis butterfly, 2 bashers , boot of travel
hyperstone tarrasque oki?

this guy didn't even say which item first, which goes after, and all he said is hit and hit, that's all. nice strat. didn't even tell shit

I like magina,,But what if my enemy is nai'x??

you should have bought 2 bashers linkens sphere threads butterfly and hyperstone ok?

I like your guide
But I don't think Aegis stacks with Spell Shield

I appreciate your guide very much. Thx! I used to think AM is a very hard hero to use. And I seldom get kills, I feed. After I try your guide(luckily i get my basher and aegis fast enough), they helped me stay alive longer and build my streak. A "Holy Shit" for me!! thx dude!!

There's no way that cloak & spell shield will stack! Replace it with Vladimir's and Vanguard, at least or even Butterfly.

i don't think to get the mana break first,because magina hp is not too much,you can be a first hero to be killed,if you get blink first you can escape from other hero who wants to kill you...

yo, i tink aegis overrides spell shield, unless it's used up... sumthin lik pudge's flesh heap... at least dat's wat i tink...

hey linken sphere have orb effect to the mana break.. it will stop mana break beacause of the linken..use this 2 basher necromonicon power treads and a hypertone w/ a butterfly also.. by the way nice strat.

I accept the comments from K-K((u(uL)

I agree w/ K-K
Magina has a low hp. Ur enemy will able to stun you before you can blink to escape. You are easy to kill. And I dont think that aegis stock w/ spell shield.

better buy 2 stuns and not aegis :D

Great strategy with anti-mage but I agree with Aragorn, Magina does not need the aegis. I use treads ,2 bashers, a hyperstone and Vanguard. For added fun add a butterfly. These will make you more of a permabasher than darkterror!

This isn't a bad guide.
I disagree with (like everyone) buying Aegis and, to some extent, Linkins.

@jazzrukawa: If you are any sort of player you won't have to blink away at level 1. Mana Break also grants bonus damage.

Just a little critizism now:
The Anti-Mage needs at least 1 RoR at the start to avoid unnecassary fountain trips.
I think you should go into a little more detail on what to do during the game, as I think "Then afterwards, destroy the rest of the towers and destroy all Ziggurats/Moon Wells to give your creeps power!"is a bit broad. Also, its the Barracks-like buildings that give you better creeps, not the housing.

I dont know what is the effect of aegis for magina but having 2 basher is a must bangungot sa kalaban un.. 2 vanguards is ok.. then S and Y treads thats my item build

Well... I do like Magina... still... I think I am the only one that makes as firts item... Battle fury and Power treads! And then.. un can build anything.... Magina hits so quickly as base... then we add power treads with BF.. then u can open an Investment accout.... creeps just .. die! And money on the bank.

way a go!!!! i have used your strategy and magina was godlike!!! tnx 4 ur strategy my items are 3 wraith bands 2 basher 1 MKB and power threads tnx again!!

@valky why did you add MKB??? MKB and 2 bashers will not do well you know??

Hey jst want to ask... Both Magina and Terrorblade are BLIND right??

eh.. how does the mana break stack with ordinary attack? do you add the additional 38 to ur attack or does it only deal 38 damage..

nice strat I was GODLIKE!!! when I use this strat

I go for a lower hp magina, 3 bashers, Treads, hyperstone, and Butterfly. A lot of people don't like the idea of three bashers, but I love it!

nice strat

[1] Two Aegis [or any spell-resistant item for that matter] DO NOT STACK with other items. [2] Spell Resistant Skills and Items will only stack IF YOU GET THE ITEM BEFORE THE SKILL.

Its a good strategy man , good luck !

but u forgot , that u have a very low damage when u are in a late game !

lvl 1-11=
1.blink
2.break
3.blink
4.break
5.blink
6.break
7.blink
8.bread
9.shield
10.void
11.void.

why not void at low lvl? lvl 1 void not much dmg, high mana cost (blink costs 60 and u blink ALOT) u forgot that this guy pwns with da techies n da tinker!!!

When i use this character, i get 2 bashers, a vanguard, 2 wraith bands (which i later replace with a butterfly, a hyperstone, or a terasque depending on opponent), and powertreads.

Man this is my favourite hero and my main! Good for support, ambush and chasing. Plus 2 make worst 2 better buy this great item i use (in order):Power thread, Vladimer offering (get 16% lifesteal every hit and da faster u hit da faster u heal), Plate mail (+10 armor), preservernce (then urgrade 2 linken sphere), Butterfly, aegis of immortal(time 2 upgrade from plate mail) and da last monkey king bar. In my experience, he only gets dangerous wen he reach level 11. So he sucks from da start but wateva u do stay alive. Stay behind creeps when low life so u get EXP and kill creeps dat r low life for gold. And wen u get plate mail dats da time u start killing neutral creeps like dragon & granite golem (more gold)wen retreating or wen u find time to do it. Aegis is really IMP since u get more resistence 2 magic and good DF (Survival in battle is da key) if u buy da item like i said u will see great result wen u reach mid or wen u get butterfly!!! MAGINA ROCKS!!!

i would prefer to have a double basher, a butterfly and a linken sphere !!!
do u agree ?

i respect all ur design in skill & items for magina(my fave.hero) but i have a suggestion. in his items, my mostly prefered are vanguard(for low HP&armor),p.treads,2 bashers, & vladimir's offring.believe me, he's already a monster. just try it.. nothing will lost and im sure you wont regret it.

I think it's better taking spell shield first then blink till full first, esp. when u facing int hero

Yep, a vanguard could help... I guess

Good. I like it

Kind of a basic strat. but hell, with anti-mage theres not much more to it than this so good job. I like the idea of linkins, i never bothered before cuz i always went with aegis and having more than 60% redux against spells makes it not as good against nukes, but for things like hex it might be worth it. thanks for the tips man!

wow i manage to own with this guide but if theres a butterfly it would be better

maganda kapag kasama si anubarak para mana burn tapos mana void = kill

Why is Magina and Terrorblade blind???

This strategy is too brief.

wat a waste guide you can do better than that!!!!!

This is my build for the magina.XD...EARLY>>ring of regen,2 wraith band,boots of speed..MID>>Power treads,Cranium basher,hyperstone...End>>Skadi/Linken`s sphere,Aeges,Divine...OWNAGE!!!PS:you should have pawned alot by mid game thanks to mana break and m,ana void...

@Jack
EoS is an ORB EFFECT... Dont you know???

not very good

not bad not bad at all actually

very bad strategy.
nothing really useful.
My opinion,
u need bracer at beginning becasue you are sooooo weak. lvl 1 blink. mana shield asap b/c at early game int hero's can kill you only from spell b/c u r soo weak. Mana break of course. This is the case if you are playing against ppl that play your level.
This if you survive and own till late game whatever items u get r good, bashers, or butterfly, or monkey. does the +15 int form the linken do anything 2 you?

does nobody know that if you get linkin or S&Y the orb effect will cancel ur mana break!! plz no linkin or S&Y...i got for treads, 2 bashers then the butterfly! then whatever u want after that.. then its GG!!! (and yes plz get blink first it will save ur but and you can harass)

Linken is not an ORB EFFECT ill say... But good point about the S&Y...

2 bashers, mkb, butterfly, treads, tarrasque or another mkb... sure win

that was very good stategy from magia but u not says if u have any hard anemy like leviathan or sven

hamed_metalz Says that

And i answer If anemy is nai'x then u will winning at the begin of the game and no allow him to lvl up to 15+ lvl and u become god against him

maganda na sana e may aegis lamang

such a waste 2 buy the aegis... I prefer more agressive ones

i dont think that your strategy will work with the new aegis of the inmortal

...which is better, MKB or Cranium Basher??

great guide but can you change the aegis for another basher please

Instead of getting aegis you can now get a hood of defiance.

i Think Sange & yasha + Basher + Hiper stone + Treads + Perseverance = Nice Set

I Have use that against Lucifer (Doom) and i've a large victory... I kill him 5 times and don't die any time! Magina its a nice hero but you need pay atecion in all map!

@tobias2105

Sange&Yasha??? CRAZY!!!

you should go with bracers early game to get HP boost not wraiths, anti-mage is fine on offense but bad in defence thats why you need bracers.

my build is
linken, meke, bracers, BoT and then the rest depends on the game, i usually go for butterfly+MBK

bashers on anti-mage doesnt give enough damage lategame

theres no point to getting SnY. Because of the orb effect that Mana Break gives. I know, I hate it too. I think Mana Break is much more valuable then being "blazing fast"

theres no point to getting SnY. Because of the orb effect that Mana Break gives. I know, I hate it too. I think Mana Break is much more valuable then being "blazing fast"

i think its alright but i think u shouldnt get bashers i reckon ,treads,butterfly,ageis then if iu have enough get vangaurd

Hmm, i go treads, butterfly then bashers. permastun xD

QUESTION:
ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW:
SnY: I tried it the maim worked. Will mana break work when sange does not? sange work only 10% so will man break work the other 90%? If yes then SnY is best item.
2- Hood of defiance? does it stack or no?

it would be helpful if you some more pictures in your strategy but your layout is really good and for that 8/10

Errr, i think the Aegis don't give you spell resistance anymore. Is it wise to replace it with hood of defiance ?? Thanks.

Here's my item build for him just to let you know:

Twin Bashers
Hood of Defiance
Heart of Turasqe
Treads
Buriza (hehehe always late game item)

would a hood of defiance work on him???? or does the mana shield and hood not stack.

You have 8/10 from me! Many Thx! 2 Cranium Bashers work better but you need good team support! Very hard to fing it in Greece (egoland)!

Pls some1 answer.
deos Hood of Defiance stack or no?
does SnY work?

Best Build:
2xRoR
2xBracer so u live through early game
=>HoD
Powertreads
those r 2 be able 2 play effectivly
these r 2 dominate:
2xBasher
Butterfly

@ormarkol yes the HoD does stack, and i dont know if SnY works but theres no need for it

Lol, Magina is easy to use. All he do is blink and void. And a power thread + basher (2 are better) enough to pawn anyone even without the skill void.

Cool!

Spell Shield And Plane walker will stack
I'm sure of it This strategy is also the same as mine in my mind but the item build is different

someone plz update this, aegis is out of the picture

u shud put what enemies that are hard and easy to kill for Magina...i reckon spellcasters like lina is easy to kill for Magina....

ehh i get lothars edge just in case they spot me first..lol wind walk then blink then they'll wont know what hit them...good strat

BKB is better than linkens

not if you are getting hexed and nuked. it's situational... see how the opposition is playing before deciding late game items.

1.linkens allows AM to blink nonstop. sometimes BKB and linkens are needed for nukers heavy teams
2.Meke is a great replacement for aegis
3.bracers over wraths NO IF ANDS OR BUTS

is sound good

LoL this build was made along time ago. Because aegis doesn't do anything except give you a free death.Anyways the build for AM is:
2 Bashers
Hood of Defiance
Treads
Hyperstone
Butterfly or another Hyperstone

Sorry for double posting but also Linkens Sphere is really not needed since you have magic reduction. And you could add a manta style in there for the illusions. They all take mana out.

howbout getting defience to upgrade PC?????

b.o.t
hyper
2xbash
vangaurd
linkens

u guyz wer gr8!

Magina is no match when I used Tide Hunter against him.. He's got a build of 2 bashers, threads, perse, 2 wraith bands. My build was Threads, Battle Fury, 2 Bracers and Radiance and 1 blademill.. Haha!!! He keeps on dying.. I Gush him first then 3 hits, before he drains my mana I will used my ulti Ravage.. Boom!!! he's stunned before he blinks, He's dead. Owning!!

ur skill build sucks!

best guide for magina for a low hp hero! in 3v3 4v4 5v5
vanguard first!! ring first
1) mana break
2) blink
3) mana break
4) stats
5) mana break
6) stats
7) mana break.
8) stats
and the rest is ursss! power thread basher butterfly owning!

what about the new verion.because aegis is not purchasable in the new versions.what should we get instead of aegis?

Does buriza suit him? Poeple pls tell me

huhu,,,,that's cool man!! maybe this stuff will guide me in using magina..i like him...haha...gud..thnks..=)

not bad

Wow. Lots of idiotic comments. Stats? Never. Manta Style?? ORB! Hyperstone = Butterfly instead. LOTHAR?? WHY!!?

Questions? Hood/Plainswalkers' DOES stack with spell sheild.
And, Bashers - 2 or 0. One doesn't turn up enough, getting a third isn't worth the chance since it is a diminishing % per Basher, but two works. Once you have a Butterfly or two, swap a Basher for a third Butterfly since the attack speed from that WILL be sufficient to permabash with one Basher only.

That may be all. I recommend:
Hood/Vanguard
Treads
Basher
Basher
Butterfly
Vlads
But obviously many builds work. This is just what I use.

OOPS. The guide. Well. Its pretty basic, a bit short, but it gets all the key points across. I'll pretend I didn't read Twin Blades a while earlier than this (consider that this is way older) and say that this is fairly good, 10/10. Just... update it to accommodate a total lack of Aegis.

Magina must use Butterfly...But ur stategy is quite great

Items i use are:

1) Power Thread
2) Butterfly
3) Linken Park Sphere
4) Planewalker Cloak
5) Sange & Yasha
6) Crystalis

Get Sange and Yasha first.. It'll be easier to pwnd lonely creepers.

does mana break actually give extra damage?

mana break only give u bonus dmg when burn mana on the enemy that u hit

for 1vs1, i think its nice to have magina a doubla vanguard so he could make use of the mana break effeciently...

2 vanguards
2 wraith bands
power threads


level 10 palang tapos na ang game!!!!!

Interesting building him as stunner before the neccesary attack speed. Even his natural speed wont be enough to make that terribly effective. I like the skill selection though. Be more specific with the manner in which you kill enemy heros early on. Ive gotten many killing spree's early by following some simple rules. Anyway...not bad. 8/10

potah

wow fascinating

nice strategy

Hmm I really don't like your build. And neither your strategy involved in the strat. You talk about AM in early game as if he already is imba, like for killing, go blink attack him sometimes use void and kill. It won't be that easy to kill. Also the linkens is a waste of money, AM needs more items like butterfly,mkb en if hp problems an heart.

Is anti mage good?
i don't think it's good......

if u get 4 cranium bashers will u hve 100% bash?I really wanna know.If so then u r undefeatable lol.

nice

To be honest, I'd like to see more attack speed in the item build to take full advantage of Magina's Mana Burn; the faster you can hit them the faster they're gonna lose precious mana.

ok

sorry to tell u but i dont like your build! plz make another strategy guide for magina .. thnx anywz

excellent

It was good. Not hardly read or anything. Gj

i cant farm well with this hero!!!specially when my enemy is ranged!! how can i farm well??? pls help me

your a fool...aegis is not needed by magina...i prefer this items for him

2x cranium basher
hyperstone or assault curiass
power threads
heart of tarrasque

but one thing..im having difficulty farming with him in early games coz my enemies are usually ranged...hehehehehehehehehehehehe

hmmmp linkin sphire?????

hey
im sorry but i dont think that trying to spend a large amount fo the game getting 2 ageis of the immortal will help magina too much.
a hood of deifinace will stakc with his antimage ability's.

and it says strat at the end not start

Level 1 - .6 damage per mana point missing.
Level 2 - .85 damage per mana point missing.
Level 3 - 1.1 damage per mana point missing

dis ability is wat i'm curious about..

can someone giv me a best explanation about .6 , .85, 1.1 per mana point missing??.

no comment

ur talking about the mana void skill, magina's ultimate.

in brief, take the amount of mana missing from the target hero, multiply it by 0.6 / 0.85 / 1.1 and deal that number as (magic) damage (and deliver a microstun of 0.25 sec iirc).
Very powerful against units with high mana and low hp (which most INT heroes are). Of course, you still have to get their mana low, which isn't easy against mass disables in a midlane 5v5 mass firefight.

Also useful against some AGI heroes (low HP, low manapool) who quickly suffer from a lack of mana due to mana break.

Manta Style ? ? ?

Magina is a mana breaker thats all

wow Joseph would be pleased to hear bout this strat

not bad but magina needs 2 bushers not 1 and needs butterfly and u need to finish hood of defiance
items for magina
1)treads
2)hood of defiance
3)butterfly
4)busher
5)busher
6)vanguard

not bad but magina needs 2 bushers not 1 and needs butterfly and u need to finish hood of defiance
items for magina
1)treads
2)hood of defiance
3)butterfly
4)busher
5)busher
6)vanguard

How about his low HP....If he blinks and attacks the enemy, the enemy attack Magina too. Will I buy a Vanguard?

y basher?

Dude lol , wtf is with the cloack , HOD , will do u much better than a cloack , plus u have ur third skill which is IMO better than the cloack , saves u money. You don't really need the aegis either , average strat , i personally dont like it .

6/10

about the aegis?? why must put aegis??

Hood of defiance for 2350 30% spell reduction 8 hp regen a sec

My best build is

1x Monkey King Bar
1x The Butterfly
1x Heart Of Tarrasque
1x Buriza Do Kyonan
1x Power Treads(Agility)
1x Cranium Basher

no point in getting the linkens because you already have a wicked shield. i usualy go:
vanguard
treads
vlads
butterfly
mkb
then you still have a 6th spot to get another item if your game requires it

Make Butterfly and two basher and assault and threads and hyper stone

BASHER??????????????????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????!!!!!!

i usually get a vanguard, power treads, 2 bashers, then a butterfly

nice strategy but 2 basher are better

man u suck aegis cant be bought it drops from roshan btw ur guide isnt really in depth
