Armadon Build Order in Side Lane

[[BLG]Boozie]

Can anyone suggest side-lane build order? I normally get 2xtotems, 1x health pot, 1x food, +3 str, +3 int and build the blood chalice since it's crazy strong.

From there I struggle as to when I want boots, when I need shield (assuming I plan to make hotbl), when to get lifetube to keep the chalice spam going, whether or not I should get a power supply since it's a great item and whether or not I should get a hatchet.

Assuming I plan on playing very aggressive should that change up my buy order? (boots earlier)

Lv1 slow early since it gives 10% at all levels.
Max spines asap.
Ult when you can get it.

Atm Spines are broken and stack something like twice as much as normal.

I guess I should have made the topic read Buy order. I'm good on the skills .

Generally depends on whether your the one harassing or your the one being harassed. If you find yourself getting harassed level armordillo over spines, then show them the booty when they harass you, it wont be long before thy back off. Itemwise i usually go blood chalice, shield, lifetube then boots, then finish hotbl. Then your ready to gt your derp on!

Starting: 1x +3 str/int items, 1 Health pot, 3x runes, 2x minor totems.
Early: Blood Chalice (made from side lane), Power Supply (ferry recepie), orange boots.
Mid: Boots of choice, Helm of the black legion.
Late: Split helm, use lifetube first to make shamans headdress, then get axe of malphas to turn that beastheart into behemoth heart.
Luxury: Demonic Breastplate.

Derp.

Being sarcastic? Because it works, like making sotm or Steamboots with different stat items than what it says in the shop.

Don't worry - he is 1300 for a reason.

How can u tell what other items u can use to build something?

When you put them together it turns into that item.


No way to know unless you already knew it from old DoTA days or heard it somewhere.

shield, mana battery, 3 trees

power supply, boots, blood chalice, get rid of shield

shamans headdress, sac stone

heart, whatever else u want


people who build hotbl on armadon are stupid, he has a passive that stacks a spine every 200 dmg, so you want to be absorbing dmg, not reflecting it

[whatghost]

I like to go hatchet, 6 runes, 3 totems.

I like to go hatchet, 6 runes, 3 totems.

Which is bad.


1) Get the first 2 pieces of blood chalice
2) Get rest in health pots/runes
3) Get 3rd piece of blood chalice at side shop.
4) Poop on people the rest of the game.

+3int, +3str, 1 trees, 1hp pot, 2 totems
blood chalice, shield if neccessary, boots, psupply
build shamans OR hotbl
behe heart
daemonic bp

shield, mana battery, 3 trees

power supply, boots, blood chalice, get rid of shield

shamans headdress, sac stone

heart, whatever else u want

A. There is no reason to buy a battery with your starting gold. It offers no stats and spells are rarely used during the early laning phase. Oh, and you can get it from the side shop.
B. The longer you live, the more spine bursts you can cast. A dead arma can't spine burst, so anything that keeps you alive is good. Hotbl provides arma with everything he needs and is disassembled later on for behe heart.
C. The mana regen on sac stone is unnecessary. By that point in the game, arma doesnt have mana problems.

[WHS]

Chalice.



Everything else is luxury.

As this guy said. The HOTBL Gives you midgame survivability and viability. It then splits into a lifetube which becomes part of a shamans headress (For those who do not know you can use the lifetube instead of 2x trinkets) and the beastheart combines iwth the axe to become a behemoth heart.

So ill throw it back at you. Not having a helm of the black legion with your build up is stupid.

G'day
