2.Hero Story
"Devilishly clever, the goblin techies, despite their small physical presence, are a force to be reckoned with. In line with their goblin brethren, the techies have the skill of laying mines in the earth, invisible to the naked eye. Also, after extensive training with the Orcish voodoo priests of Kalimdor, the Techies are adept at laying paralysis-inducing traps along with their potent explosives. Wary be the foe who takes these three lightly."

6.Items

Starting Items:


Pick Techies As Soon As Possible...Buy 2 TP,4 Clarity Potion,And a Soul Ring Recipe This WIll Provide Your mana to plant Land Mines And for Recipe,It Should Give you Opportunity to not go back to the Fountain

Very Early Items:


You Should Get This ASAP because with Soul Ring,It will provides your needed mana
Early To Mid


Arcane Boots After Soul Ring..Same with Above..it will provides your needed mana
Mid Game

Well Actually i made up my mind to change the Alternative Item..You MUST Get Aghanim First..because 750 Damage Of Remote Mines(3) is Really Pain in the Ass

Mid-Late


This Item will help you from escaping or to Kill gem Holder

Late Game

BloodStone Still my Favorite Item coz it provides you infinity Amount of mana..so get This After Aghanim

So,The Inventory Should Be Like This


7.Enemies/Good Alies


Bad Enemies:
Mana Draniner:

If Your Mana get Drained,,What can you do?You can't Suicide to..Real Pain In The Ass
Cloning



"Horray I already Plant 6 Land Mines Near Shop",But After That The CLone Come and Detonate Your Bomb..Is It Really Painfull For Your Heart? xD

Good Allies:
Mana Provider:

WIth This Hero Near You,Your Mana is Infinity So you can Plant Mines a lot
Mine Trigerrer:


8.Strategies
Level 1-6
First Thing First,Pick techies As SOon As Possible..Then Buy 2 TP,4 Clarity,And Soul Ring Recipe..Teleport To Top(Scourge) Bottom(Sentinel)..Place Land Mines As Soon As Possible to get The First Blood..I Usually Place 4 Land Mines Near The Shop..After The FIrst Creep is Out,,Just Spam your Land Mines To Get money..If You Get The First Blood,You Should Already Have SOul Ring..

Level 6-11
Okay..Now You Have Your Remote Mines,I Suggest You To switch between 3 lane..Always Carry TP...Go To Mid Lane,And Place Remote Mines ASAP..Place Between 5-6 Remote Mines..DO NOT SHOW YOURSELF IN THE MAP!!!If You Play Techies,You Shouldn't Show Yourself Or the enemies will know the Bomb Place..In This Period,You Should Have Arcane Boots And Perseverance
Level 11-16
Keep Placing The Bomb Like Above...But The Difference is,,Now The enemies Has a Gem/Sentry..Its Very Easy To COunter them though..Just Use Your Force Staff and detonate The Bomb and JACKPOT You Got the Gem Holder

Level 16-25
Now is Your Time To Participate in Team Battle..Now you must Already has Aghanim and Bloodstone..how you play team fight?Just Wait Unti The Intiator open The war,,then You Walk Smoothly to the middle of the war then Place Statis Trap...Jreenggg..The Enemies Stun For6 Sec And You Must Already Finish Them

9.How To Counter Gem Holder With Force Staff/Land Mines
A.With Force Staff
hmmm...Plant A Lot of Remote Mines in the Middle Lane..then While the enemies is exploding Your Bomb,Push it with force staff and detonate it..Simple As That

B.With Land Mines
Hmmm..i Think This Methods is new.You Should Plant Land Mines Near The river to the Scourge Jungle..Then When the gem holder come,,he should be dead and can't see the bomb
