Clinks Skill Build

[Blarrg]

^ This

Always strafe at 4, WW at 1 or 2 is interchangeable, then max arrows and then WW for more mobility.

For the people complaining about not having the mana for strafe, try buy an SR, I don't understand why people never get SR on clinkz...

EDIT: i would get the new page, fml

[AriStar]

I get SR only when i plan on ganking a lot, or having a hard time farming. i prefer a rushed Orchid because at if you can get it fast enough its game over.

[Blarrg]

I use it a lot of different ways.

If I want to gank, I go clear hard creep camps with pact and gank with mega damage.

If I'm sitting in lane farming my rapier I just eat creeps and use it to push towers faster and get gold in my pocket.

Or sometimes if someone is pissing me off in lane I'll go eat a creep and keep them away from me by threatening them or even killing them.

[AriStar]

Early SR+boots ganks are epic,

Run to Neutrals (centaur or something equally as big)->SR -> Pact -> WW -> SA on auto -> Run behind enemy -> Strafe -> Kill

[SECXIIKILLA]

1. Arrow
2. WW
3. Arrow
4. WW
5. Strafe
6. Pact
7. Arrow
8. Arrow
Max either Strafe or WW if you want. Level 11 and Level 16 get ult.

[Nincinerator]

imo one lvl of ww and starafe and searing arrows max then max ww and stats

[Beavertron]

I would leave ww at lvl 2 and max strafe for increased dps by lvl 10. depends on how aggressive the opponents are being though of course.

[Shadowlurker]

Save skill point until you arrive at lane. If it doesn't look like you're gonna get Level 1 ganked, get Searing Arrows. If it looks like you're in trouble, get Wind Walk, simple.

Searing Arrows / Wind Walk
Wind Walk / Searing Arrows
Strafe
Searing Arrows
Searing Arrows
Death Pact
Searing Arrows
Wind Walk
Wind Walk / Strafe
Strafe / Wind Walk
Death Pact

Since Searing Arrows has no cool down on Level 1, you can leave it at 1 for a couple of levels. Strafe at 3 is for the odd chance that you catch your opponent in a bad situation or have a Double Damage rune. Proceed to max out Searing Arrows, and then get Wind Walk to Level 3 and Strafe to Level 2. What you do from here does not matter, as with the Wind Walk buff, you should be plenty fast. And Strafe to Level 2, as 6 seconds should be suitable for most situations.

Clinkz should build like this:
-searing
-strafe
-searing
-ww
-searing
-ult
-searing
-ww/strafe
-strafe/ww
-preferrably max ww with 2 levels of strafe, but honestly situational/preference
-ult whenever
-stats

Ofc you take ww at level 1 if you need to. Try to wait until you see all enemies on the map before you take your first skill. You may need to ww away from an FB attempt. But if you see 2 heroes top and 2 heroes bot, and your opposing mid solo across the river, then take a level in searing. The same logic applies to other heroes with escapes (mirana, void, etc).

i like this a lot better than original post

thanks for information

This has been my build for the last year or so:

WW
Orb
Orb
Strafe
Orb
Pact
Orb
WW
WW
WW
Pact
Strafe
Strafe
Strafe
Stats
Pact

Boots
Wand
Oblivion Staff
Str Treads
Finish Orchid
Skadi
BFly

Always get WW lv1. +20 dmg for 4 last hits does not worth dieing from time to time because of ganks.

I tried Soul Ring and it sucked. Some times I got BKB over Skadi and Diffusal Blade over BFly when there was already 3 or more Ghost Staff on the opponent side.

Go ahead and max ww/stats for maximum standing behind them power, I will stick with the build that most retards like me use.

[Star_Saber]

WW, SA, SA, Strafe, SA, ulti, SA.

WW for early escape/chasing mech at 1. Rule of thumb: Safety/survival comes first.
2 levels of SA for harassing orbwalk purposes
Strafe once you have SA level 2 with 0s cooldown.

everything else should be self-explanatory past this point

using Strafe when SA is not 0s CD yet will make you look dumb.

i) lvl1 WW in early game is enuff to approach gank and escape
ii) pls get WW at lvl 1, this might help u escape in surprise early but-sack
iii) skipping death-pack is just retarted... instance gold, extra demage and hp..y skip?
IMO a more efficient skill build would be:

1. WW
2. Searing Arrows
3. Searing Arrows
4. Strife
5. Searing Arrows
6. Death Pact
7. Searing Arrows
8. Strafe

Not reading changelogs will also make you look dumb.

[WetYoshi_x3]

as long as you play agressive, it's all fine.
Your skill build is the same as mine though.

Edit : I take strafe at lv 4 instead of windwalk 2

So when I said get Strafe at level 5 instead of leve 4, you dying more somehow makes you right?

OHSHT taking me out of context?

Hold on, let me take you out of context:

Go ahead and max ww/stats

You max stats? Idunno why you suggest such a terrible build!

a single wraith band does 85-91

That's one hell of a wraith band.

Searing

retards like me

for maximum

power

hurts

clinkz

You're real harsh on yourself.

Why is there even a discussion going on in this thread. I expected all threads by this user to die within a few days of being posted...

Skillbuild:

SA:1,3,5,7
WW:2,4,8,9
Strafe:10,12,13,14
Ult:6,11,16

Possible alterations to this build involve taking the first point of strafe earlier in the game. I don't personally like this build because I believe it strains your manapool too much early and encourages you to move around more than you should. If you stay in your lane and do your job you get strafe in time for it to matter anyways. WW @ 1 is really only ever taken soloing the exposed lane against potential trilane ganks and isn't even that effective since if they really wanted to kill you they would have blue wards to frag you in lane and remove your ward on the rune.

Some people substitute early stats in instead of some levels of windwalk, however I think that losing out to the immense speed and mobility granted by higher levels of windwalk is not worth the stats.
