I. Foreword
This guide is not for facing AI or your little brother.

II. Introduction
Twin sons to the great Prophet, Terrorblade and Magina were blessed with divine powers: Terrorblade granted with an unnatural affinity with life forces; Magina gifted with energy manipulation. Magina's eventual overexposure to the magics gradually augmented his elemental resistances and bestowed him the unique ability to move faster than light itself. Now, broken by Terrorblade's fall to the dark side, Magina answers the Sentinel's call in a desperate bid to redeem his brother. Every bitter strike turns the Scourge's evil essences upon themselves, culminating in a finale that forces his enemy to awaken to the void within and spontaneously implode.Blablabla...(i copied this)

VI. Item build

Starting items



Early game items




Mid game items
Here it gets tricky...

OR

OR


And (optional secondary tank item)

OR


* Vanguard is good if there are many attack based hero or if you want to tower dive.
* Hood is not so often in pub games, but yes in competitive games.
* Vldamir's offering is a overall item that tanks, lifesteal, and gives mana regen.

Late game Items

OR

And


Game over Items








Other items

Yes if u can farm this in 10 minutes, and use the ability everytime it finishes cooldown.



Yes if u can farm this in 16 minutes. If u are going to make battlefury, do not use vldamir's offering because its a watse of mana regen, a vanguard will do better.



Expensive... but ok anyway.


Nice balls. Its good on magina. Sell your vanguard/hood/offering for this in late game.


Yeah Imba item. Buy it before Icefrog nerf it.
Counters hero with high burst damage.


Upgrade your hood(if u got one) to this if your team needs it.


Fricking Storm spirit ulti off when he sees me.
Buy this this item and silence him, then rape the mana out of him and hes dead.


WOOT! Get this if your team need armour.
Nice item.


WTF...


FUN ITEMS


Good to tower dive, and u can still blink to avoid spells.
HIGH SKILL REQUIRED!


REJECTED ITEMS




WHY IN HELL WOULD U EVEN WANT THOSE?






Orb effect.


No, you are not a disabler.


Wow a healing anti-mage...nice letz pawn him.


You should be in Ks.int (joking)
Stupid item! Go play maplestory or something.


cute chicken... I WANT IT!
then let your teammates get it for u.


VII. Gameplay Walkthrough
When the game starts, your team needs to have a crow already.(leave the game if u dont even have a crow) You will want to use the crow to fly through all the forest area. You never want to click blink and it says "Must explore area first".
Then get a lane and farm like hell. Try not to be harassed and watch out for ganks. Blink away immediately from any danger.

When u reach level 6, u can start ganking with your teammates(dont go alone) or u can continue farming. Same rule, Blink away from danger. Get a town portal scroll just in case your team needs u.

When u get your core items, u can start killing. But be careful of being caught by 5 heroes. Get a killing spree or something.

Late game is like fighting AI. Whack whack and die. Easy.



VIII. In-depth Skill Usage

Remember this, kids:
Always dodge a skill with blink even if u dont know whether u can dodge it or not.

And the ulti is AoE, so abuse it nicely.


IX. Team Battles

Basically u just wait until some tanker or initiator goes in first. Then u blink in and find the hero that looks like jelly-O
and u kill him. Then u kill them one by one. =D

X. Synergies and Counters

Synergies
Mana fountain

Happy blinking

Disabler



Gives u to have a few second free hit.

Healer

Heals you when u tower dive.

Counters

Silence



Cant blink...

Mana burners



Its annoying without mana


Disabler

XI. Conclusion

Magina is a great carry but needs item.
So, turtle up and farm until u get what u need.
