You can be blamed

(Last updated 03 01 2016)- You can only hit heroes in the AoE+ Increased AoE from 475 to 500.+ Reduced cooldown from 70 to 40.In 6.86, Riki was insanely buffed on latest update, giving to meta a new ultimate, Tricks of Trade.The Tricks of Trade works- It is- You are, for a carry. It's good DPS because it will be based on your damage + Backstab bonus., making BF a demanding item."I'll give a try but your lack of any agility item can backfire if TotT is on cd." - by wowsux - Lack of Agility can compromise Riki by soloing hero with good farm and if you don't own BKB. If you noticed, the items you get don't give great Agility, compared to other builds.- On many games where I almost lost racks and was "High-ground fights", BF gives an insane diference if you have, for example, Crystalis. It's just 6000 gold that you can grab by teamfighting (not farming a lot) in 20-25 mins (that means, around 300-350 gpm).- If you play with care (not throwing a game just because your teammates said "gg") on a game almost lost and you give a good ulti, trust me, you just open a stairway to comeback.- Note on that build there is Crystalis and Basher, of course you can buy their upgrades, but that's a way to manage your money.- It depends of who you're playing against.- If you want to be rat-efficient-offensive, you must prioritize Blink Strike.- If their enemy is something like Lion, Tinker, Crystal Maiden, or other many-cast heroes, you must prioritize Smokescreen to be efficient in Tricks of the Trade and less deaths from your team.- Prioritizing Smokescreen on early game, will make you the reason of less deaths, and make the chance of win the game higher.- Sentry Wards - Well, it's just 200 gold that will be well spent to annoy enemy supports- Quelling Blade, so you can deward your lane invisible (or just visible if you're in AoE of enemy ward, until you deward it). You can deward with tango aswell.- Mango - Since Riki now has 2 active spells + Tricks of Trade, you may ran out of mana sometime- Tricks of Trade Battlefury, because it works exactly like Ember Spirit Fists Battlefury, Tricks of Trade will attack all enemies and hit with BF cleave.- You can play early-game roaming to get some gold on kills, you may finish BF in 10-15 minute mark, which it's perfect. Thanks TheDinosaurWeNeed - If you get a team with Tony's, Wraith Kings, Centaurs, etc, the best solution is taking 2 BF's, since they stack the cleave status, you deal higher DPS.- Well, if you get an enemy team with 3/4 Int. heroes, they tend to carry wards, there is a stereotype with Int heroes, calling them supports. They will slap you with Sentry Wards, dusts, and later, gem. So you must pick Diffusal Blade, not to slow enemies, but to remove the Dust debuff. Also you will carry the gem from your support/their dead gem so you can deward easily with Battlefury.- If you lost 2 racks and will give a try to comeback, the game will delay for more than 60 mins and you may not have big items,. To run this build, you must know how comeback in high-ground works, or it will be wasted money in Divine.- Some tips is not finishing Daedalus, take BoT's and, if possible, take Diffusal if they dust you.- Since you're going to cast Tricks of Trade with many enemies, your Divine will be safe, if you jump with 4-5 heroes inside the Tricks of Trade AoE + some creeps.- People in Dota 2 don't read Patch notes- People in Dota 2 does not know how Tricks of Trade works, so they will think you're not in teamfight or you're stealing kills.- Will blame you when they see you bought Battlefury- If you don't deward with Quelling blade/tango/BF, but instead, deward by hitting.
