#'MY ULT. WASTED ON YOUR CLONE'

[eggyulks]

playing loki is like gaslighting your own teammate too I have lost count of the amount of times I had to correct my friends that they're talking to my clone today

[drbubbystube]

These were all for an Apex Legends AU i was making when I first really started to get into HLVRAI and these are actually the first drawings I did with everyone ! I planned to actually draw everyone and I had abilities and stuff planned for all of them but I ran out of steam after I finished Coomer and Bubby wouldn’t cooperate with me. It was fun and seemed like a waste to never post the characters I did end up finishing!  If ur interested I’ll give a rundown of everyones abilities and such below the cut !

These absolutely would not work in game I was just having fun brainstorming fun abilities while I was bored at work.

Gordon

Passive - GORDON SPRINT - Yells “gordon sprint” when sprint is activated, moves at normal sprint speed with weapons out or slightly faster if gun is holstered

Standard ability - Shoots for 1 second from his machine gun arm. Works like a spitfire without any attachments.

Ult - Devil gun mode ! Works like Bloodhound’s ult, highlights enemies, increased dmg but can ONLY use machine gun arm and doesn’t get any speed buffs. 

Benrey

Passive - Can I see your passport? - When he pings an enemy he can tell what champion it is. Special voice lines for pinging a Tommy or Gordon. (”TOMMY” and “Must be Feetman, just like him to not have his passport”)

Standard ability - Black Mesa Sweet Voice - Shoots the sweet voice at an enemy, reduces their movement speed. Like getting hit with a Caustic Gas trap. Chill out dude.

Ult - Song of Death - AOE attack, anyone within range is dealt 30 dmg every second you’re within range. Ult Lasts 8 seconds.

Tommy

Standard Ability - Crackshot - When ability is activated, will auto target closest enemy up to 50 meters away.

Ult - Sunkist - Sunkist is summoned onto the map and chases down the closest opponent, works just like a normal prowler. Cannot be killed, stays for 10 seconds.

Coomer

Passive - Feed me my coins ! - Starts the match with 50 materials

Standard ability - My clone ! - Sends out a duplicate with 10 hp and a p2020 with no attachments. They are slow firing and weaken Coomer. Coomer can kill these doubles to regain the health spent. 

Ult - Super player feature - Increased defense, highly resistant to bullets, melee ability increased to deal 50dmg. Mobile like Bloodhounds ult.

I had a few other ideas but eh send an ask if ur rly curious about them.

[edh-a-to-z]

M19 - Blue

So, I’m gonna do hybrids of reviews - EDH worthy get a solid look, draft trash gets a rapid-fire mention.

Aether Tunnel

Grade: C

Home: Voltron

Range: Narrow

Unblockable is always worthy of consideration, especially on Voltron decks, or any deck with a more than a few cards that have “damage player” triggers will take a glance at it.

Djinn of Wishes

Grade: C+

Home: Any Blue Deck, High CMC deck, Topdeck control/Miracle

Range: Average

Without build around, it’s okay. With some serious deckbuilding and a few Top effects, it’s a pretty good Miracle-lite option for EDH. Plus, Atraxa effects keep piling on the counters makes it a repeatable threat.

Dwindle

Grade: D

Home: Any Blue Deck

Range: Average

Partial removal worth considering - neuters a creature, and punishes non-indestructible creatures for being defensive. Better with Combat control like Odric 1.0

Exclusion Mage

Grade: C+

Home: Really Any Deck

Range: Very Wide

Like Man-O-War, but with better Creature types. So pretty solid.

Metamorphic Alteration

Grade: B-

Home: Clone Decks, ???

Range: Narrow

Copy a big creature on the board (I usually copy my own stuff) onto a Mana dork, presto! Two Gearhulks!

Offensively, it can make really big creatures into something way weaker and easier to kill.

Mirror Image

Grade: B

Home: Self-Clone.dec

Range: Narrow

Eh, most Clone decks I use want to clone their own stuff, not there opponents. Mill/discard, then rez, then mass cloning is what I like. A clone for 3 of your own creature is fantastic. 

Mistcaller

Grade: D+

Home: Merfolk Tribal, Disruption.dec

Range: Very Narrow

Many blue counterspells can be very cheap for a specific scenario - like Nix can nip Narset in the bud, but can be super useless. Mistcaller is of the same venue, with the disadvantage of being on the field instead. Sure, you can steal a Resurrected creature, but no player’s gonna do it while this thing is around.

Omniscience

Grade: B+

Home: Any Late Game Blue Deck, Memes

Range: Narrow

The quintessential EDH card. Grab it if you can.

Man I hate you so much.

One With The Machine

Grade: C+

Home: Artifact, Ramp Artifacts

Range: Very Narrow

I love drawing 6+ cards with a Big Robot around. Even Sad Robot gets you 4 cards, which is great.

Needs building around, but is super powerful. And even getting an okay amount of cards, or getting countered - hey, you already have something on board, and it’s only 4 mana, so it’s ok.

Supreme Phantom

Grade: B

Home: Spirit Tribal

Range: Very Narrow

Another build around. Only good for Spirit Tribal, which is of dubious power level for EDH compared to other Tribes, and other deck plans.

Tezzeret, Artifice Master

Grade: A

Home: Any Blue Deck, Artifact Decks

Range: Average

Defends itself. Draw. Gamewinning Ult.

Now this is a solid walker. Powerful, thematic, swiss army uses. Just perf.

Windreader Sphinx

Grade: C+

Home: Any Blue Deck

Range: Flyers

Triggers itself, and ANY flying attack. Drawing machine, dissuades casual small attacks, and has an elegant design. A nice creature for us that can’t afford Consecrated Sphinx in every deck.

Honorable Mention

Anticipate - Always an almost include for me, but I’d rather Ponder. Departed Deckhand - Bear with options. Sure, it dies easy, but so does anything without protection, so anyone trying to remove it with a card is wasting their time. Decent ability, but expensive Disperse - Another card I like, but use sparingly in EDH. Who wants a Cyclonic Rift that only has the first mode? Divination - Another Common workhorse that’s usually too underwhelming to use Essence Scatter - Another average counterspell - fair, but we want better than fair. Horizon Scholar - Solid and fair. But I want more out of a 6 drop Mystic Archeologist - Fair upfront cost, and fair repeatable ability. But I don’t know what draw spell, or cantrip spell, I’d cut for this. Patient Rebuilding - Lack of circular effects, and weak milling overall Sleep - always fun to sic the other players on a weak player. Surge Mare - Not exactly bringing a lot of power or options to the table here Switcheroo - not reliable to work - and I think 5 CMC cards should be reliable

Dishonorable Mention

Aven Wind Mage - Prowess - is lameo Aviation Pioneer - Decent effect for a common, but too low impact for EDH Bone to Ash - Negate at double the cost with a Cantrip. Skip it. Cancel - A classic. A classic piece of trash. Frilled Serpent - Blue has better fatties with unblockable options Gearsmith Prodigy - Too low impact for EDH - even a 2/2 for U is underwhelming  Ghostform - Nominal Voltron usage, but there’s unblockable Auras available for less. Relegated to a combat tricks, it’s sub par Omenspeaker - Never bad, just not an include for EDH players with more options Salvager of Secrets - Archanologist extra if needed. Scholar of Stars - Conditional draw on a weak body. Bah. Sift - Okay, but there’s better draw around. Better cantrip works to take the same role as well. Skilled Animator - It can make a Sol Ring into a 5/5 on turn 2. Aside from that, it’s just okay, and okay doesn’t cut it. Snapping Drake - French Vanilla doesn’t make it to EDH here, especially at common Tolarian Scholar - lololololol Totally Lost - Play Commit // Memory Uncomfortable Chill - Bad combat trick Wall of Mist - Even wall decks have better options

[fluffi]

so should i reply in tiny font or just regular font?

hybe should do better in spreading out the comebacks of the groups under them :/ they're already at a huge advantage, might as well use it strategically. AHA streaming mvs is so convenient for a multi. the filler vids i could use in between could be mvs from the other groups that i stan. also you know what, i still haven't watched a single final performance bc im waiting for a friend to watch with me :D

i have a chinese movie recommendation in case you want something to cry over. i still love its ost and it's been months since i watched it. i'm not sure if you watched it already but more than blue. i've never cried over a movie as much as i cried for that one. the angst *chef's kiss*. i'd do anything to wipe my memory of it and watch it again for the first time.

also sungchan is mc-ing in inkigayo every sunday! and honestly, what the hell is nct hollywood :D but a part of me thinks it's just going to be a bunch of asians living in america like johnny that'll be a part of it. just a hunch tho. imagine having all 4 units coming back in a year with like 1 unit per quarter of the year. i'm not sure if sm even has the money to do this, especially when they filed bankruptcy recently.

and i've seen a lot of twitter memes saying taro's ghosted stans T_T alexa play ghosting by txt T_T sm come on give him smth to do, you're wasting talent.

the mall didn't burn down entirely (like from the outside it looked fine). the ventilation system caught fire so it was more internal—ceilings and all that. covered things with soot(?) and ashes so the entire mall was closed for nearly 2 years. and hey, i've experienced a school fire too back when i was younger. i, too, thought it was nothing but a fire drill until i saw the charred remains of the buildings behind our school : D thankfully, no one died.

the new nct track is for a samsung commercial AHAHA it's funny because nearly everyone uses apple TT_TT and the mv screams neo culture tech tho (well as it should lmao). yes, i was talking about that part in hot sauce but yes, it grew on me too.

ateez really know how to do a performance. they put the standard so high for me when it came to performing. their facial expressions and overall stage presence just impresses me. it's been a while since i've seen idols draw me to them by those standards.

ah, the long stan list! good luck in getting through it and i hope you do have fun as you go :] (also you can check out aurora by ateez and whiplash by tbz. the songs popped up in my head as i was typing this reply, you might like them)

ohhhh, what was the pd48 scandal? i don't watch survival shows so i don't know any of the stuff going on. would you care to elaborate? about their disbandment :(( i hope you're okay now tho! are the other girls still debuting in new groups? anyone eyeing an acting career instead of being an idol?

YES, A PATTERN IN THE BIASES (if you count an analysis of two ppl as a pattern, that is.) because it's the same pattern i have for my biaswreckers :D jake & seungmin, not only do they have the same animal to represent them, they have the same 'golden retriever' type of personality that just makes you go all soft. ygwim ;n; i wish i could elaborate but both boys just devastate me in the same level and my friends pointed out that they were quite similar in some aspects.

jaemin used to send really long bbl messages :< like if there was anything he loved most it was nctzens and it was obv in his messages. speaking of dream, album repackage news today! idk what to feel bc my hot sauce albums haven't even arrived yet :D + i'm dead br0ke.

how do you even manage to read 30k TT__TT i cant handle long fics bc of my attention span :D also, yes, i found the user now, i'll check if i'll like their works soon. <33

YES YOU SHOULDVE BEEN THERE T_T what a day that was. i think seungmin is still sweet and active in bbl. not a single cent goes to waste with him. also i think i'll post the drabble some time this month.

and oml seungmin vs jake :o let's see how that goes O.O XDD

clickity-clackity AHAH do you have a mechanical keyboard? :c i wanted one too but i haven't got around to saving up for one. but yes indeed, typing asmr v relaxing \m/

sunny hyuck day, fullsun sunday, fullsunday T_T feels were very strong that day. i kept seeing edits on my twt tl and i would just s o b : D i've only stanned nct for a year but i've seen him grow so much i just wanted to crie i love him sm :') yk my mom didn't cook spaghetti for my birthday, but she cooked for hyuck's? : D

and i checked ur recs blog and indeed, full of nct T_T

also have i mentioned that your desktop thing amuses me so much HAHAH i got confused for a sec if i had twt opened or tumblr. plus, i've been wanting to mention that i noticed that our mobile themes are opposites. black and red, white and blue. it's cute XDD <3

help, people have been telling me that our asks are long but i highkey love it. i added a ‘keep reading’ for the mobile users though, sorry in advance hh.

honestly, both works. tiny font saves space but regular font does more justice for my poor eyes haha. its your call!

hybe comebacks :( yeah enhypen got lucky because they came back right before cb season so they got three wins (yay)! on the bright side, txt just got their first win and bts has six wins, so it all works out i guess. omg yes, the streaming thing is perfect. i stan like 20 groups so i have a never-ending cycle of filler mvs and its always so helpful. ooh for the final performances - you wont regret watching any of them! literally wild, kingdom's budget and talent are wild.

ooh, I don't watch any cdramas lmao. i want to but i can barely finish kdramas. if its a movie ill watch it! ive never heard of more than blue but ill check it out <3 where can i watch it?

yes yes i have just realized that sungchan is yujin's co-mc! i watched their special stage (which is literally adorable) and was today years old when i realized that the dude is sungchan pls. nct hollywood was so unexpected and i still have mixed feelings about it now. LMAO JUST ASIANS LIVING IN AMERICA...help. that would be interesting (?) but the concept reminds me of those horrendous awesomeness tv shows. lets hope sm pulls this off well and proves me wrong. lmao all 4 units coming back would probably happen, but i hope none of them get overworked :( i constantly feel like mork lee has four clones :'( also...sm filed bankcruptcy??? dang, what happened?

ugh omg yeah shotaros talent is seriously being wasted in the basement right now. as for fires, scary T-T i wasnt that fazed by them until the australia wildfires happened, and i learned about the consequences of fire and got really scared. its good that the entire mall didnt burn down though! although its weird that no one is opening it :( schools really need to tell us the difference between drills though, it might be dangerous for those rebellious kids.

yeah i just realized that the nct track is an endorsement which partly explains why i cant listen to it. the mv's visuals are stunning!! the set and people are so gorgeous aa i cant

oh yeah im not an atiny but i have acknowledged since 2020 that they have one of the best, if not the best stage presence and expressions on stage for 4th gen. i think their only worthy competitor would be stray kids actually. theyre truly one of a kind and all of them are cute especially that yeosang guy. i will definitely check out your song recommendations though!

oof the pd48 scandal is extremely complicated. to condense it in a few statements: all of the girls' rankings have been rigged since the very beginning and it was rumored that they already had their end group before the show even started. it was like this for pf48 and pdx101 (group x1) which was why x1 disbanded within a month of debuting, and izone were on hiatus for like 4 months. im not the best at explaining stuff like this haha, but i think you get it. you can check out yt or search up 'pd48 scandal', a ton of articles and videos. as for new groups, nothing has been made clear yet. theyve only made instagram handles for now and appeared on variety shows haha. as for acting career, hyewon was supposed to do acting but was forced to join pd48 so maybe she'll continue acting afterwards? nothing is confirmed yet!

lmao two similarities, its okay it counts. ah, true, i can see their similarities now that youve mentioned it, as well as how jeno is kind of like that. however, i am currently attached to jaemin so we'll see what happens from there hehe. i swerve easily.

jaemin on bubble grr, that would be a whole experience. from the bare minimum of vidoes ive seen for him wbk jaemin is so whipped for czennies. ah yes repackage! i saw the post on instagram and went to the comments to see everything screaming ‘iM bROke!’ and it was lowkey hilarious lmao. kpop is really trying to suck our money T-T.

ope the longest fic ive read is like...40k words i think? and it was by jeonginks. ill read anything eiko produces lmao, theres always so much substance in her work. ooh, tell me what you think of luvdsc’s stuff, i just finished binging their entire masterlist lmao.

seungmin vs jake yeah, i havent been catching up on skz enha content because im still obsessing over the dreamies but when that saga is over then im going to focus on my ults lmao (which might include dream soon, hehe).

yes yes i have a mechanical bluetooth keyboard that i use to connect to my computer! it literally sounds amazing lmao, its only 10am here but i feel like im going to doze off from the clickity clackitys already. i cant wait for you to get one! tell me when you do, we can match hehe.

hyuck is an aodrable brat please. hes like the best comedian of nct at this point, so hilarious and filled with variety i love him. he rose up my bias list pretty fast too. LMAO YOUR MOM IS SO COOL I LOVE HER ALREADY. if only my mom would cook for my ults’ borndays.

yes my rec blog is a mess right now, ill organize it soon haha.

omg thank you and yes my website theme is one-of-a-kind. even i get confused when i open it or edit it, and i constantly get comments about it. also i just realized our opposing theme colors and i love it! its adorable.

Dota 2 Guide: How To Play With Arc Warden

Dota 2 Guide: How To Play With Arc Warden

Arc Warden has been in the game for a while. However, people have still not understood how to play the hero. Below is a detailed guide about how to play the hero. Pros:

one of the best snowballers in the game.

strong teamfighter, very strong pusher.

wrecks hard disorganized pub teams.

very good against non-unit heroes if left 1v1.

late game rat menace.

Cons:

early ganks slaughter his progression.

against unit heroes like Broodmother (his no.1 counter) immediately swap lanes.

He's a very immobile hero that's extremely positioning dependent. Most of the fights you take are already decided by how good you placed yourself and your Tempest.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Credits Devian Art[/caption]

Skillset

FLUX - deals damage over time when there are no units around the enemy. Try to use it at lvl2 to harass your enemy in the lane.

MAGNETIC FIELD - provides full physical evasion to everyone inside the field. Buffs you, neutrals and your team with attack speed (tower ignores evasion on the creeps).

SPARK WRAITH - aka techies mine. use them sparingly because they're mana costly. If people are dumb enough you can stack them near a tp spot in the tree, they tp into it sometimes.

TEMPEST DOUBLE - Sixth man off the bench, you cannot use consumables on him. He shares full stats with the real Arc Warden. Rapier isn't cloned anymore. Whenever you summon him try to use his mana to the fullest. (for instance you're jungling, kill the smallest creeps first, use the Flux from the Tempest on the biggest creep)

Arc Warden is not an easy hero to master. He's easier than Meepo, but harder than Invoker. If that makes any sense. Microing him and the Tempest itself isn't really a hassle. It becomes hard when you get 6(7) slotted. That being said he's extremely item dependent.

Extremely Item Dependent

After getting an Aquila and Boots, you're buying a Midas. ~2100 gold for an item that gets you to your second farming (and fighting) item, Maelstrom, which is ~2700 gold. That's nearly 6.5k early gold for farming items. Compare that stupid amount for any other agility carry:

Slark: Shadow Blade, Treads, Aquila, Wand ~5.6k early gold and he's pretty much ready to fight.

Phantom Lancer: Wand, Treads, Aquila, Diffusal blade ~6k gold and ready to fuck shit up.

Arc Warden with those items can only properly set up to farm up the next core items that allow him to actually fight.

This guide is divided into few sections which cover up when to pick him, laning, items, skills and talent progression.

Draft

His hardest counters are those who can get into your face - Slark, PA, Spectre and illusion based heroes like CK and PL. But if they got into your face, you're not playing him well. Positioning is the key in those matchups. Also, try not to pick him up against those pesky 5man-group-up-and-push-together lineups. First 15mins you're completely useless to your team so you will have a hard time catching up. He absolutely wrecks every 1v1 mid matchup (except Brood) if you're skilled enough.

Honorable mentions that don't stand a chance against Arc are. Sniper, Shadow Fiend, Zeus, Skywrath, Clinkz, Ember and Storm pre level 6 and pretty much any melee hero that shows up.

Skill Order

Skill order depends on the matchup. Obviously, at 6 you are 3-0-2-1 which works great against any hero. If you're against an Invoker, you will have to take a different approach and go 1-1-3-1 to be able to trade hits and kill off his forge spirit. My choice of skills is 3-1-1-1 if you've managed to deny a lot from them and establish the level difference. That kind of skill build allows you to bait them into your Magnetic Field which can bring you some pesky kills pre level 5.

Proper Combo

You always flux first. It guarantees spark not missing them when they run away. 1 is the Main, 2 is the Tempest.1Q, ULT, 2Q, 1E, 2E and 2W to finish off or protect yourself when diving the tower. The reasoning behind this combo is mana conservation on the real Arc.

Talents

LVL10:+8% CD reduction, It really proves it's worth later when you're TPing everywhere.

LVL15: I'm a firm believer that Flux range is superior to HP talent. Being able to Flux them as they flee from the fights or as you approach the fight from across the screen is OP. Also, you almost always never want to be in the middle of a fight with the real Arc. Imagine real Arc as a backline Sniper and his Tempest as an Axe. Tempest is meant to soak up the damage. Although, against PA, Slark and WR I pick up the HP talent and an early Blademail.

LVL20: Attack range. I see that Icefrog meant some kind of support/caster Arc Warden coming into the play with the CD reduction on the sparks. It is doable with the level 25 talent. But physical Arc Warden is always preferred since he scales much better into the lategame.

LVL25: Well if you're constantly fighting take the +30 lifesteal. If you wanna play a worse version of Techies, take the spark dmg buff. It's good when the enemy supports don't expect it. You stack upto 3-4 sparks and they're probably dead. But since we're in lategame, pickoffs are very often rare. People group up and march down mid with the creeps. So, there are games when it's good and games where It's criminally bad to take it.

Laning

Mid 90% of the time. 10% safelane. The reason for taking the mid is solo XP and the pure potential of killing their mid over and over again. Once you hit lvl6 - it becomes 2v1.

When mid

Start with Wraith band, Branch, Faerie fire and 2 pooled tangos. Blocking your creeps every wave is very important to be able to harass them properly. Your last hitting ability is crucial those few first waves. Try not to waste level 1 mana and completely focus on your last hitting. Sub 3 min Aquila is a must. Follow it up by naked brown boots. You will need a ward to be able to see them on their ramp. This is probably your first power spike if you catch enemy offguard (not close to their creeps). You flux them and chase them down.

Some people advocate on getting Phase Boots. I haven't experimented with those yet but I believe that +24 dmg *2 units does make a difference early. In my opinion those boots are a waste of gold that early on since you need BoTs very early to contribute to your team. When you hit level 6 this is where the fun starts. Remember the part where I've said to always block your creeps a bit? You do this so their ranged creep is in the river, not on top of their ramp. This allows you to place a zoning spark wraith behind the creeps.

This way enemy has 2 choices: eat up a spark or not get close to it. He eats up a spark: instakill with the above said combo. He stands there and doesn't do anything: you deny everything and lasthit everything. If you have vision of him highground and at least level 3 flux you can attempt the combo above. If you manage to catch the first flux, which is very likely to succeed.

Other small tricks are to never stop harassing them with right clicks (try not to aggro their creeps). It's very frustrating for them because you have a superior attack range in most of the cases. It makes them pull back from the creeps which again leaves you with kill opportunities. There is also a trick if you fail to block your creeps. Hit the ranged creep 2 times and place level 2 spark on them. If enemy stays close you combo up. It's all mind games from there on. Finish up your Midas after you've gathered those 3-4 kills.

When Safelane

you will be behind on XP, but once you reach lvl6 tell your supports to leave, same principles above apply, harass them and zone them out with sparks

The transition from Early to Mid Game

Your objective is to bring down their mid tower. From there you TP to the weakest sidelane and help them bring down another tower. With that amount of map control you finish up the Maelstrom and farm BoTs. Try to realise that this itemisation is most common in 99% of the games. If you're against a pushing lineup I'd rather get a Mjollnir to be able to deal with them.

Mid Game

You got your Maelstrom and the BoTs sub 18mins or even less. Now what? Split push like a maniac? Join fights? These great questions don't have great answers. It's really tough to judge as a beginner what you should be doing. Communicate with your team. I always tell them that I will probably spend 3-4 more minutes farming up a Mjollnir by split pushing.

Try to TP to the outskirts of fights. Park your real Arc Warden behind and spam spells with him, while microing the Tempest in front. Never, ever come in as 2 unless you're completely sure that Slark is on another side of the map. Or that they don't have gap closer heroes capable of backlining you. In lower bracket games people seem to believe that the Tempest is an illusion so they don't expect him dishing out full damage while ignoring him. He's the 6th hero on your team. So to sum it up, fight with your team, gain map control, jungle their wards, ward their jungle, etc.

Itemisation

You can build whatever you want to. He's such a diverse hero. SnY and Manta? E-blade and Dagons? Gotcha fam. Situational builds aside, go to build, after Maelstrom and BoTs is as follows:

Blademail, SB or Pike, Mjollnir, Orchid, Nullifier --- constant fighting build against gap closers or spell spammers

Mjollnir, SB or Pike, Orchid, Nullifier, MKB --- true right click build

Some games demand a Force Staff (Riki smokes, saving your teammates, double forcestaffing yourself out) while some allow for using SB to infiltrate their jungle and picking off their carry. It's really up to your playstyle. I've found equal success with both, sometimes I even get both. BKB is often that 7th item in your backpack. Don't fear to get it. If you're against a Slark, I suggest getting a Hex instead of the Nullifier (has a projectile time, Hex is instant and not purgeable). In most cases Nullifier is preferred since it boosts your damage output.

Late Game

As I've said in the beginning, Arc Warden is a late-game menace. You can always keep 2 lanes pushed in. You will probably sit on 10k gold while being six slotted. Buy your carry a Moonshard if possible. With the acquired map control get the Aegis on your carry. While pushing in try to keep your team under Magnetic field since it gives them the attack speed. If you're defending try to reach their backlines with the Tempest (Shadow Blade or Force Staff). Always keep a track on your buyback status.

Bonus Tips

Try to synergize first few Midas usages (earlier maelstrom)

Getting chased and nowhere to run? place yourself near any trees and field that place so you can tp out or kill them

Learn to double forcestaff yourself, very useful skill

Don't be afraid to bring yourself any sort of regen, going back to fountain is the worst outcome

So this is it for now. Feel free to discuss this guide and add some tips on the abysmally low-picked hero. If you've got any questions feel free to discuss here.
