Hi, this is my first strategy in DS, and it's on Lanaya, the Templar Assassin. For those of you who don't know, Aiur was the home planet of the Protoss in another Blizzard game, Starcraft. In this strategy, I will focus on a certain way to play Lanaya, along with items and such. Hope you enjoy the strategy.

Lanaya

Lanaya - Templar Assassin


Range: 140 | Move Speed: 305
Primary: AGI
Str: 18 + 2.1 | Agi: 23 + 2.7 | Int: 20 + 2.0
Damage: 45 - 55 | HP: 492 | Mana: 260
HP Regen: 0.79 | Mana Regen: 0.81
Attack Speed: 0.72 | Armor: 4
Refraction Refraction (R)
Manipulating psionic energy around herself granting a mystical refraction of light that protects her from external harm and giving her bonus damage for a limited number of instances.
Level 1 - 20 bonus damage, 2 Instances, lasts 17 seconds.
Level 2 - 40 bonus damage, 3 Instances, lasts 17 seconds.
Level 3 - 60 bonus damage, 4 Instances, lasts 17 seconds.
Level 4 - 80 bonus damage, 5 Instances, lasts 17 seconds.
• Direct HP Removal does not trigger refraction.
• The instance blocking and damage bonus are independent of each other.
• The status buff might take a while to dissapear after the charges are gone.
• Only instances of more than 5 damage (after all reductions) will remove a charge.
Mana Cost: 75
Cooldown: 17
Comment: You'll use this skill a lot. It has three primary uses. The first is for last hitting creeps(so much easier.) The second is escaping.(3-6 hit protection.) The last is for hero killing. (Bonus damage really helps.)

Meld Meld (D)
The art of Shakuras allows Lanaya to conceal herself at any time of the day and strike from the shadows with her armor-shredding blades. Deals bonus damage and reduces enemy armor for 10 seconds.
Level 1 - 50 damage, -2 armor.
Level 2 - 100 damage, -4 armor.
Level 3 - 150 damage, -6 armor.
Level 4 - 200 damage, -8 armor.
• Damage type: physical
• Meld is broken by any action other than staying in position.
• The bonus damage and armor reduction is only applied if Meld is broken by attacking a unit.
• The armor debuffs don't stack with each other.
• The invisibility comes from windwalk with a fadetime of 0.001 seconds.
• Duration Meld: Infinite
Mana Cost: 50
Cooldown: 7
Comment: Noob laelion! You did not get this early game! Think. What good is Meld without Psi Blades? You do need last hit assistance, which is why Refraction is placed before Meld. I place this mid-game, after Refraction and Psi Blades are maxed. (Don't get me wrong. Meld is Lanaya's BEST skill.
Psi Blades Psi Blades (B)
Using her psionic powers, the Templar causes enemy units behind her target to feel the same pain as the target itself. This psionic power extends her attack range.
Level 1 - 40 Bonus Range, 320 Spill Range.
Level 2 - 100 Bonus Range, 320 Spill Range.
Level 3 - 160 Bonus Range, 320 Spill Range.
Level 4 - 220 Bonus Range, 320 Spill Range.
• Damage type: pure
• Spill damage hits invisible units.
• Attack effects (like orb effects and bash) will only will be applied to the main target.
• Area of Effect: 100 (width)/320 (length)
Mana Cost: N/A
Cooldown: N/A
Comment: ((Note: The tip is wrong. It doesn't give damage, but range.)) This is what makes Lanaya a good farmer, as well as a good creeper. It has decent synergy with Radiance. I maxed this after Refraction so Meld has more effect. Just so meld has more effect in mid-game.
Psionic Trap Psionic Trap (C)
Creates psionic traps on ground. When triggered, it will slow units within 400 range by 50% for 5 seconds.
Level 1 - 50% slow on activation, Max 5 Traps.
Level 2 - 50% slow on activation, Max 8 Traps.
Level 3 - 50% slow on activation, Max 11 Traps.
• Traps last indefinitely.
• They have invisibility (3 seconds fade time), magic immunity and 100 HP at all levels.
• They do not prevent Neutrals spawning.
• Traps have 400/400 vision range.
• When a Trap is placed, it is added to your selection
• Casting range: 2000
• Area of Effect: 400


Trap (T)


Key Combo: T
Description: Releases the energy stored from the nearest trap.
Cooldown: 0.5 seconds
Mana Cost: N/A

Mana Cost: 15
Cooldown: 11/9/7
Comment: Well, I guess people want me to use this more often, which I'll try to do. Psionic Trap has some nice uses. You can use it on the chase, on the run, or as map wards. The map ward effect isn't as effective(Not much sight out of it.) or cool as the other two uses, but cluster-warding gets rid of that problem.

u are a nub dude nub at lanaya zz

477 By Frosch 2009-12-27

@alexzhao if you dont have the range in early game it kinda sucks anyway.

476 By ronald274 2009-12-23

troll is quite difficult to gank though. his high attack speed eats up my instances fast. difficult to approach and escape

475 By AlexZhao 2009-12-02

OK guide for beginners 8/10 good job

474 By AlexZhao 2009-12-02

noob. the writer doesnt know what hes talkin about. Meld early game is GG. at lvl 2 its already 100 damage. Against any low hp heros (agi)(intel) is GG. AND minus 4 armor.

5. AC
6. Buriza

ur build is really good, but i would buy cuirass (buy as last item or replace the vanguard for it in late game)

471 By BboyEnergy 2009-09-26

Should harass late game heroes with meld in early game like PA.

470 By AJP 2009-08-30

lol i got 18-2 first time i tried with this strategy and build xD

469 By ShadowDT 2009-08-15

She really rocks! i am gonna try the double meld! this is gonna be fun playing against my friends. =)

468 By richardko1 2009-07-24

some advice to the noobs use Refraction before meld and meld in a place were heros usualy pass buy like bot rune or top rune

467 By limesofchaos 2009-07-15

constructive criticism of course

466 By limesofchaos 2009-07-15

Meld early game = gg
writer doesnt know what hes talking about. outside of pubs (which we all pwn in), league and tourney games are 99% ganking early game. you need to stay lean and mean. aka be able to escape from ganks and pwn n00bs in ganks by staying in between tower, waiting in secret shop, baiting and the like.

465 By hpisl0w 2009-06-30

got awfuly pwned by naga siren couse she waas like 6 images or something and then refronecitavtiontnotin doesent work and she had dust so my meld dident save either :( srry m bad english

464 By Lithuanianboy 2009-06-25

Meld isn't an orb so stygian should stack.

463 By Pencilhead 2009-06-25

awesome guide, desolator is my favorite cause when i attack with meld, instant -14 armor!!

462 By Crib-Midget 2009-06-24
