STRENGHTS & CONS
STRENGTHS;
Has 320 ms at the start.
Has the Blink ability to chase or escape.
Has a Gud attack speed.
Nukes are nothing to magina thanks to Spell Shield.
Good damage, excellent with Mana break.
CONS;
Low str.
Low str Gain.
Late Gaming Hero.
Rather weak mid game.
Silence completly screws his mobility and escape tool.

SPELLZ;
MANA BREAK:

This iz the Passive spell which makes Magina to be strong against the Inteligence Heroz and SK(skeleton king).
Bcuz when against SK magina burns his mana making the ultimate of SK useless. So SK does not revive while in a combat against the Anti-Mage.
BLINK:

The blink ability makes magina stronger then a lot of other heroz as blink can be used either to chase an opponent or escape from him. but the Distance of the blink ability iz to be known otherwise Magina only Blinks 3/4 of the distance which iz a bad thing.
SPELL SHIELD:

Spell shield iz an amazing Passive spell which makes magina to fight against a lot of strong heros such as Butcher(Pudge).
when up against Butcher, when he uses ROT he damages himself more then he damages Magina as magina has a magic reduction of 50% where Butcher only has 18%.
While up against lion( demon Witch)/ Lina(Slayer) the damage taken from the ultimate of these heroz iz reduced to 50%.
MANA VOID:

The ultimate of Magina At level 6 iz not as much effective as on level 11 or level 16 as in the late gaming the enemies try to increase their mana capacity in order to use the spells more often.So the more mana they have the stronger ur Ultimate gets. But your Ultimate Depends on your Mana Break i.e. The more hit u Give to the other person the more the Ultimate will Deal him damage.So ur hero iz most effective against intelegence heros az they have the most mana.Nvr forget to max ur mana break first in order to make your Ultimate Effective.this spell comes wid a ministun Which Means It can interrupt Spell castingz & Using Of scroll of Town Portal.

ITEM BUILD;
STARTING ITEMZ:



These can increase your chance of protection,damage and HP regen.
LATE GAME ITEMZ:

Vanguard Helps your regen,protection and Fills up a little bit of Hit Points`necessary For Your Hero.

Either Go with Sange & Yasha If u wanna increase ut strFor your HeroOr you could Go with Manta style for the increased Chance Of aggression On your opponents as Even your Illusions Will Deal Mana Break On your Opponent making him unable to cast spells & a gud target for your MANA VOID.

Vladmir`s offering Iz an important item for you and it iz the only life stealer that can be made on MAGINA ashe has Orb effect that do not stack.

Now for the boots.....

Power threads are the best az they can give you the str you need.
you dont need Phase Boots Bcuz Magina can Chase his Enemies by blink easily.

But in late gaming these can come in handy as you will have enough of the str you need so speed iz better.

MKB the Best & one of the core item to be made on Magina az it Gives a Gud attack speed Wid a lot of damage And True Stike.
Once MKB iz done on Magina your Hero Bcomes STRONG....

Magina has no disable, we need to cover those grounds so that we can use our imba AS. Basher is a great item for Magina, and you need to have it when playing against heroes with bash or heroes with good escape mechanisms, like Akasha and POTM.

The other Core Item which iz Mostly Made on the Agility Heroz.
It gives a lot better chance of protection to you then any other item as your enemies Will miss their Attcks on you.
You will have a greater Attack speed. Gud Damage At the End.
SO your Damage will atleast be more then 300 Wid a really Gud Attack speed & Gud Protection
All You are gonna have to worry about in late Gaming iz about The Blade MailAz It can be really harmful against a High Attack speed Hero.
The Way I know it..... Magina Iz the Best Hero Of DOTA in late gaming. He can kill any Hero At all IN late Gaming.
I know this Bcuz i hav done this.The only hero MAGINA needs to watch out for iz Bloodseeker.

Az When he ruptures You need to stop. and not make any movement.
If you Blink It Will result in a sudden Death.

GAMEPLAY
Factors to keep in mind.
Your main skill is break, break is on every attack so give him IAS.( Increased attack speed).
You are very fragile, and some times one stun is all that is needed for the other team to bring you down.
Early use blink to either last hit an enemy or escape, dnt spam it as it has a high cool down early on.
Go for attack speed Rather Than Damage.
Save your ultimate never use it at the start of a battle But use it at the end as The more Hits U give your enemy the more mana he loses & the more your Ultimate Bcomez Stronger.
EARLY GAME;
Lane: sentinel bottom/ scourge top.
Go for the ranged creep first as it has mana and you can out do him easy, same rlue for jungling, go for creeps with mana. on creeps mana burn damage is 100%. You need life steal/ survivability to jungle. Better to get a poor mans shield if you need to jungle.
Harras the enemy meele heroes with mana break,a hero with no mana is no threat at all and you can get rid of his mana in a couple of hits, so harras them and dnt let them farm.
MID GAME;
Mid game most heroes have enough survivability but magina is pretty fragile mid game, your mobility makes up for your fragility, you team mates need to understand that you are fragile and in case of any dire situations you would need to blink off. Do not initiate, NEVER INITIATE with anti until you have manta or BKB. they will get you or you would need to blink away with little to no hp. if you have manta, then you can play a good role as initiator by blinking in.
Once the battle has been initiated, keep an eye on who is casting most spells and getting short on mana.
LATE GAME;
1v1 you are the predator, mana burn will turn then enemy into a creep,basher will keep him at bay, blink to follow him and may be void to finish him off. i dnt recommend wasting void on one enemy as with your mobility they cannot out run you,.. void is much better in team battles.
SimplY, Blink in, make illusions, focus fire one enemy, he will go all apells so to avoid losing abilities by your imba mana burn.
MAGINA AS A TANK;
Once magina has manta and some sort of survivability you are one of the best tank carries in the game, have your allies hidden in the terrain blink in the enemy heroes, make illusions. You donot need a heart for that purpose, deceptions by the illusions and the enemy fear of the void is your tanking, you do need life steal to stay in the battle though. Chances are that the enemy team would go all out spells on you, your allies ahould be moving in by now and you can use the void and if your hp goes too low, blink off.

FRIENDS & FOES;
FOES;

She does not need mana that much, has a low mana pool and has blink strike. and once she is made, she is a force to rekon with, all she needs is one critical on you.

The bad bad enemy intelligence hero, you can damage him cuz of his high mana pool, but the problem is it never, goes down as his passve brings back 25% of mana in that too at a high rate, and his orbs will get you in 5 hits.
The way to counter him "silence" If u have any Silencer In your team or make an ORCHID Melovilcih.If u dnt have Any gold for that then your game Bcomz Hell.

You are no good against him, yes you can avoid his ulti and stun but if you get stuck in his presence, you are just a good looking creep yourself. He is a counter against you, and remeber he is not intel he is a TANK. & your spell Shield Iz of no use Against Him.

What can anti do against a hero who does not need mana so much and the more damage he gets the more imba IAS and damage he gains. Stay away from him early game, he can rape you single handedly. Mid to late game he is not much trouble to you, life break is reduced due to your shield and spears do less damage as well.
FRIENDS;

He has two things you love, imba lifesteal and stun, he is one of your best friends, if he is in your team, be with him mid game onwards, his stun and life steal aura is great for you.

Disablers and stunners when paired with you need to stun or disable only after you have given a couple of hits so that you cn hit more while he is disabled. and once he tries to run away, blink infront of the enemy to finish him off.
