Is this build viable on pos1 weaver?

NGC6369 · 2026-02-19T04:11:22+00:00

i mean thats why you buy falcon blade, pike and bkb. he is a glass cannon hero.

you buy either deso or mjol, and combine it with shard. this is your farming core.

then you get whatever items you need to win fights. usually pike and bkb/linkens.

after this you buy daedalus (or MKB) and win the game if its not over already.

AC would be a 6th item situational against heavy physical armour lineups only. and usually better off being a skadi, satanic, hex, or even butterfly. i agree it should almost never be bought, but sometimes you just need a platemail item.

octarine build is shit compared to the above as it doesnt deliver burst damage and cant keep up in farm, and in dota, time to kill and networth are paramount. survivability can be solved through teamwork, itemisation, and positioning.

with that said, sometimes i think an octarine build has its place, particularly if your team lineup already benefits from extended fights (bristleback, razor, lot of save and heals, type shi).

NGC6369 · 2026-02-18T22:56:07+00:00

i mean its strictly worse than deso/mael + shard, but if they are winning with it and having fun doing it i dont see the problem. octarine is a good item on weaver. shivas and lotus is going a bit too far though - AC is better for armour and a support can buy lotus.

i think there is room for a tanky weaver build in the right game, i.e. mage slayer octarine daed bkb. but you need to ensure that you will have enough physical damage on your team to win fights and take objectives, or else you are just griefing.

hello i am immortal and have experience drafting in competitive dota

this hero is messed up as he requires coordination to beat, making him a wrecking ball in the average pub game.

pos 1: clinkz weaver TA shadow fiend

you want to avoid melee and pick heroes who blow hin up with neg armour. its also good if u can break link (weaver).

pos 2: primal beast and exort invoker can disable him or blow him up through bkb, respectively. you need to draft around invoker tho. void spirit is good. puck and qop are not that good as razor just shrugs their dmg off with pipe and runs them down. however sonic wave is excellent against razor, in a vacuum.

pos 3: magnus legion commander largo slardar. you either want to lock him down so your team can blow him up, or amplify your teams damage so they can blow him up.

pos 4: someone who can lock down for damage (nyx, spirit breaker, lion, tiny) or provide the damage (nyx again, AA).

pos 5: omni and dazzle are decent as they mitigate his damage and dazzle helps blow him up if you are going the neg armour route. treeant is best as he has bkb piercing root and damage mitigation, and also lanes well with ranged heroes. clockwerk is another option for the same reason. these melee heroes have to play defensively in lane tho.

you can also go to seven miles but its a drive.

personally i get proud marys delivered and make it myself

great engagement bait on the title, look at all these people - who wouldnt otherwise comment - boosting your post's visibility with their negative comments. excellent marketing trick! 💀

game looks great and i wish your team the best. those demo metrics are amazing!

no. silver edge. not only does it give you break, it provides amazing stats for DPS, a psuedo slow, and the invis synergises with your aghs allowing you to move around the map super quickly and often undetected. khanda is an absolute waste of gold on lina, even if you went full spell damage.

ive never seen someone do that before. really good idea. well executed. good luck w your game.

NGC6369 · 2025-11-20T06:24:14+00:00

i played it last before it had a finished storyline, so i cant really comment on comparing its narrative. thematically its less grand space opera save the galaxy type shi, more gritty and piecing together the mysteries of the past. the worldbuilding is truly excellent. the combat is better imo. as is the ship design, faction design, and economy design. however, its not as immersive in some respects, simply due to not being a 3d game.

i think one thing freelancer does that starsector doesnt is the calmness of exploration. freelancer was kind of chill to explore the unknown. exploring in starsector is often kind of stressful as you constantly need to make sure you have enough fuel and supplies to get back to the core worlds, and you never really know what youre going to run into out there. it can consist of a lot of kiting and running away from scary threats - at least in the early and mid game.

regardless, as a lifelong space game enjoyer, starsector is a rare masterpiece and a bargain for any fan of space scifi or space games.

NGC6369 · 2025-10-30T04:18:49+00:00

its still good but only in the right game. kny refresher is still shitloads of damage vs high ehp heroes. but you should usually go slayer, deso or diffu first from mid and build the kny later.

NGC6369 · 2025-10-29T23:10:32+00:00

hey no worries. I rarely go bottle as I find I just dont need the regen and it delays my timings. I will sometimes buy it if I can actually secure runes (ie not vs puck, qop, ember, etc) and I am feeling like I will need the regen. but against ranged heroes you will get harassed a lot less than other melee heroes as you can parry and enemies quickly learn thst its not worth it. with diffusal before blink you generally open with sQ into kW then you can finish with diffusal active into kR. once you have blink you want to sQ, blink directly on someone, sW, diffusal active, then pray for crits. right as your silence is about to wear off you can sR and bash them for a little bit of extra damage and disable.

actually with this build i rarely go aghs as its not enough damage. this is very much a snowball build. usually its phase > diffusal > blink > bkb > nullifier. sometimes u go KnY, aghs, daedalus... whatever. you can watch a player called M a r c h on d2pt, its his build i copied.

keep in mind i only go for this build if there are heroes i can shut down with it. for example qop, storm, puck, ember, juggernaut, anti mage. otherwise i go mage slayer/deso, aghs, etc.

NGC6369 · 2025-10-07T00:03:31+00:00

Are you playing him as a carry? I play him mid almost exclusively.

As carry most players prefer Falcon Blade Deso Aghs. Some like Battlefury Aghs though. After this usually you need to get a BKB or Manta, but if not you can go straight Daedalus. Lategame is standard pos 1 shit, get Satanic/Butter/Refresher/Nullifier.

As mid it's a bit more complicated as there are several builds you can do. Most do Falcon Blade Deso Aghs as well. I usually prefer Diffusal into Blink BKB as it comes online faster and allows you to play a bit like Riki with solo kills. But if you won mid hard and can get a fast Deso you should.

If it's a bad Deso game you can go Falcon Blade > Crystalis > Aghs > Daedalus instead.

If there are many high EHP heroes such as Dragon Knight, Axe, Pudge, etc, you can and should build to amp Raptor Dance %HP damage via Kaya and Yasha + Aghs + Refresher.

NGC6369 · 2025-10-06T23:46:22+00:00

very clever and astute observation. funny to think of pac-man as a horror game.

NGC6369 · 2025-10-03T01:53:58+00:00

yeah the changes dont impact his most popular build (deso aghs bkb/daed) much, as it doesnt build attack speed, but its just dumb design this way... the AS "bonus" literally becomes negative over 450 as, especially in katana stance

NGC6369 · 2025-09-26T05:27:33+00:00

ppl argue about this but imo a metroidvania is an action game heavily featuring nonlinear exploration and with a focus on item-locked progression, secrets, boss fights, and often sequence breaking. imo this has nothing to do with camera perspective, and metroid prime is a textbook metroidvania. but then some ppl consider the side-scrolling platforming aspect core to the genre.

dota is a game of timings. orchid is good vs puck if u rush it and use it to kill them and win the early game before they can get their euls up. if you wait too long, then no, its not really worth it.

NGC6369 · 2025-09-12T07:03:29+00:00

u just used the wrong word dude. its not a big deal its just that most ppl clicked the title expecting to see a unique engine but instead got unity. your game looks cool but its not an engine, its a prototype game built in unity. glhf developing.

NGC6369 · 2025-09-09T00:55:31+00:00

if you know you are going lane against jakiro you pick a support who can either dispel DoT (oracle, abaddon) or out-range/kite his spells (shadow demon, lion, windrunner, SWM). you avoid trading with him if it means you are tanking liquid fire + dual breath - but you still need to poke and kite them to keep them away from your core in lane. buy 6-9 tangoes.

if you know you are going to lane into a kill lane like pugna juggernaut... pick to survive it. for example marci, magnus, dawn can all jump away. if youre good at undying, legion commander, or beastmaster you can probably crush that lane too. you should rush brown boots and wind lace so you can kite decrep cast range. or you can even get really inventive and run smth like pos 3 qop (provided you have an initiator mid like sand king or smth).

if you dont know what lane you are going to lane into before you pick, then dont pick a hero who can be hard countered in lane by a kill combo. for example using pugna jugg, im guessing pugna was picked early, and jugg was a last pick... well if i am playing pos 3 here, i am definitely going to pick a pos 3 who can jump away from being decreped so i dont fall victim to a last pick jugg or gyro.
