Hi all. Lina was the hero I learned Dota2 with and as such has become my favorite to play around with.

The main thing I have started doing lately is alot of times, unless I really need it, I will skip eul's and go for a quick atos after phase boots, usually picking up a sage's mask and/or magi robe during the course to build into orchid later. The bonuses to eul's are rather underwhelming, and once her atos comes out ganks are pretty much assured. Eul's is a bit more versatile, but I prefer to play her semi-carry and unless the enemy has some particularly tricky escapes I skip it. The health, damage, mana and lockdown from atos are just too good to pass up and I always thought it was an underrated item so I like to use it.

Anyone have any tips you've picked up? How do you build her?

usually u need euls and aghnims. euls is very important because it's a sure stun afterwards

Also its a good dodge mechanic to avoid certain spells and if you decide to get blink

No!

Heres the build, go mid and spam Q for last hits:

Bottle

Break boots and buy bloodstone (if you are staying alive)

<Moon Shard
BoT Lvl 2
Refresher + Necro 3 + Manta in inventory>

3hours into the game? sell all and 6 rapiers
ez

I never play lina but I play sky alot and it relies on atos pretty heavily later in game. I'd say go Euls cos you probably have same issues I have where it gets later in game and people get force or bkb or manta rendering atos useless unless they slow reaction.

nuubs

midlane :
1) null + 2 free tango from teammate
2) get bottle and boots (phase if u want to chase down enemy)
3) mid game get shadow blade for surprise, bloodstone for sustained mana regen + hp, agha if u want to burst down pple bkb.

support :
courier + wards + tango + windlace
2) build into mana boots, magic wand
3) mid game see if u want to have euls, glimmer cape, forcestaff, blinkdagger if u rich.
4) end game also go agha, lotus orb.

bloodstone's pretty good. i think you farm it instead of euls nowadays. she's a very solid mid. has rly good range.

euls is also a very good linkens popper
