ShadowbLade

[[E]Rhayne]

can anyone link me the profile of some players or replays of experienced and good shadowblades. I've just started playing him and pretty much have ran over lots of no stats with him, but I feel as if I'm missing out on his full potential, thanks.

How do you generally build him? I generally just go tank early, insanitarius is surprisingly good on him. If your team really needs, he can easily transition into the carry, stacking tank items is just better early-mid game, as it lets you farm up your luxuries for carrying.

I've seen people go ranged int carry but none have every stomped as hard as str tank then agi carry

I can only play him properly with a tank set with items like ,,,,. But i want to know if there are any good ways to play him in his ranged form and agility form. Also when i build into str, my problem is like becoming a cloned predator without the magic immunity, i can easily be kitted by someone like armadon or a frostwolf and can never get close. And the agility ability, I leap on them to get close and switch into strength, but I have a problem chasing people, because the leap only acts as CD's conduit.

I go steamboots, nullstone, firebrand or stormspirit, harkons or frostwolfskull, insanitarius or hellflower

Late game you can ult intelligence hero, get harkons and use your e to slay ****.

i guess he should be played depending on what your team needs.if you lack tankiness strength,if you need magic damage carry harkons on int etc.

Frostburn/frostwolf instead of SB and it should work better for chasing.
Insanitarius/shroud are both solid pickups for him as well, Insanitarius if you need to tank/semi-carry in str form, shroud for ganking/chasing and can be made into genjuro for late game carrying
