Hey guys what would you build on a carry Ellonia? I think she's pretty insane lategame as well, just wondering what the optimal build would be.
Carry build implies DPS items. Getting DPS items on ellonia is really really dumb.
If you're mid the safe build is
starting items -> Bottle -> Boots -> steam/greaves & locket -> tablet -> hellflower
That is the build that will work the best in the majority of games. After that you can get whatever, sacstone, shroud, sheep, frostwolf, harkons, heart. Also if you're not mid you can go the same build just skip the bottle.
Tablet is pretty core as she needs a mobility boost. You can get a PK instead, but is more suicidal. Hellflower solves most of your mana issues and is probably better than sheep unless your team picked trash heroes and don't have good initiation stuns/disables/holds.
I can see getting a ring of sorcery if you're in a side lane if you're in more of a support role. You don't have much gold in that situation and RoS will let you spam your shit in team fights. You don't get RoS if you're mid or if you're the farmer in the side lane since that delays your tablet/hellflower which are much better items. Locket/tablet/steam boot cycling give you enough mana for team fights.
Also ellonia is really garbage if your team has no initiation. I've played too many games where i'm leading with my 500 range stun and die with 90% mana because my team is either pussy or picked garbage heroes. She has extremely low strength gain so she's really squishy. So if you look back at some of the games you did poorly in, it was probably because your team had awful initiation.
