The bonus HP is really welcomed into mid game. I almost always go Rod of Atos after treads/talisman. With a VS or DROW to buff you, it's easy to melt people late game when you have 30-40 bonus int and the gear that usually goes with it.

I wish people understood just how strong he can get when building for damage. Nice guide! Silencer is one of my favorite heroes. Does Eye of Skadi stack with his Glaives? I keep forgetting to try it out in a bot match.I really do believe you should make a mention of whether it does or not in his build, because I can still see it being useful by switching back and forth between both unique attack 'd be odd, but it might work as a very late game item.Īnyways, I love this guide! It's just too awesome playing Silencer now :D. Just remember you're rather squishy and to avoid overextending.Ħ. I believe Silencer is a hero that should avoid jungling, and should definitely focus on getting kills. I believe that it's highly important for all Silencer players to remember that although they're not a true support, they're also not a position 1 or 2 hero, and that they should avoid taking the farm from the true carries. Whether you get it before or after the Scythe is entirely up to you, and the enemy lineup/advantages. At any rate, I believe it should come after the Force Staff, and it's definitely a situational item, since Scythe of Vyse is an equally powerful item. I'm not sure if it does or not, the enemy team was wiped out too fast for me to notice. The extra second really matters, and both CotS will stack together from what I hear, making it a massive health and mana loss.

I honestly believe you should try out Aghanim's Scepter on Silencer. Hard supports job is to invest all their money into support items and boots. He should also not have to buy the courier imo, since the earlier the null talisman and treads, the better. In all seriousness though, I do believe it's ok for Silencer to buy a ward or two/dust of appearance if it's necessary, but he should definitely not commit to any support item. Make sure you show them up by achieving a Godlike streak or better thanks to your 100+ pure damage. Expect a few players to demand you support. He's just not item-dependent enough to take any other lanes IMO, and other heros can babysit better. His powerful harassment is best used to disrupt the enemies hard carry's farm, and potentially get some early kills off the babysitter. I truly believe Silencer is purely an offlane hero. At any rate, the laning phase ended when the entire team ganked my lane. One thing I will say is that I recommend waiting until Last Word is lvl 3 to begin using it as your primary harass, since it causes more damage per mana point than Glaives does.

What started out as a " Oh yea, I'm spirit breaker, IDGAF" turned into "OH GOD, SILENCER!!! #* I literally barely saw them, occasionally peeking out of the FoW to try to get some xp or something, and my Riki had free farm. I had a spirit breaker and a shadow shaman hugging their tower out of fear the entire laning phase. The harassment given out by Glaives is very, very powerful. Although I still don't consider silencer a "true" carry, he's definitely not a position 5 character, and probably not even position 4! This guide has a made a huge, huge improvement to my Silencer, and I'll try to write out a a decent reply for you.ġ. Probably because I always used CotS to harrass, and it's not really until I read this guide and decided to try out harassing with Glaives and Last Word that I've really seen the power Silencer is capable of. Incapable of supporting as good as my favorite hero ( Crystal Maiden ), and inferior to almost every other carry. For a while, I considered Silencer as one of the worst heros in the game.
