Minimalist Chipper Guide

[KSed]

Sick of reading through four pages of skill descriptions, author's opinions on every item in the game, and dense, questionably-effective strategy every time you look at a guide? Then you'll like this guide for The Chipper. I cut off the fat and left only ability growth, gear progression, and basic strategy.

For skills, the best option is 1-2-1-2-1-4-max1-max2-max3-stats, upgrading 4 whenever possible. When you're past level 10 or so, make sure you have 3 on yourself and an ally in every team fight.

Start with:

runes of blight
2x mark of the novice
2x minor totem
2x mana potion

If you randomed chipper, start with:

bottle
2x minor totem
2x mana potion

Take solo middle if you can; use your tar-and-rockets combination to harass after you're level 3. Leave anytime after 3 to get runes and gank (watch the timer; they spawn at increments of 2 minutes). Remember that your rockets have an absurd range and low mana cost, so they're great for taking out runners from a couple of screens away, or killing back-dooring Night Hounds when the tower has one hit left and then denying the tower (38128837 @ 29:20).

For your next items, get bottle and then marchers, then buy a mana tube.

Then turn marchers into ghost marchers, turn your minor totems into a power supply, and get a second mana tube, in that order.

Then you can buy luxury items, but chipper is so long-range he doesn't really need anything except the insane mana regeneration. My recommended luxury items are shaman's headdress (cheap; effective) frostfield plate (if you're having trouble with melee attacking you), sacrificial stone (nice survivability in general), and sometimes nullstone (although with your range, you shouldn't be getting nuked at all).

Enjoy!

EDIT: If you want evidence of efficacy, look at any of my Chipper replays. I must be averaging about 4 KD on him.

You've just created a guide basically full of nothing! You should have named it something like the adventures of nothing. Really jeez, the guide has to have all those things and more to be a guide! The things that this guide has is something that almost every single player of hon knows about chipper. The guides are supposed to be in-depth guides of the heroes, not 2 lined that tells you howto pick items and skills! This is just worthless... But yeah a short guide CAN be good like the one in premium guides with 66 heroes mini guide, but your guide isnt even close to that. It misses aboout hmh? EVERYTHING!?!!!!
