Naga Siren has a handy net that can pin down a target for long durations, but they are still able to attack and cast so it's best not to underestimate them as helpless. This is why Slithice uses Mirror Images to both confuse and outnumber her disabled enemies, each able to consistently land Critical Strikes. The Siren's Song has been known to put to sleep even the greatest of warriors at an instant, from long ranges, and for lengthy durations. This ability allows her to get out of trouble rather easily, or setup her own. It also provides a window of opportunity to take down structures, as sleeping guards have never proven useful.


Slithice was always a vagabond among the Naga, roaming beyond the boundaries of the sea in search of new things. During her adventures she met and fell in love with a young Orc training to be a Blademaster. Though he was inexperienced he taught her many Orcish fighting tactics employed by seasoned warriors. During their courtship as she was learning how to make traps from a local raider, a swarm of Scourge came and invaded, and her love was killed before her very eyes. She used her Naga magics to put the evil to sleep and fled, and now gives her all to the Sentinel, in the name of her love.

Item Build

Starting Items



Not that common, but we will barely need reg/hp.
I have chosen 2 circlets, because we will get wraith bands anyways.

add

Go on with:
,+ 3xinto 3x

Complete Power Treads
,into(STR)

Core Items





Situational Starting Items

Magic Stick/Magic Wand:

They are definetly an option if you have heros on your lane that spam their spells, according to what we need - stats - we should upgrade Magic Stick to Magic Wand.
Note: They can be usefull too if you jungle, because some creeps use spells, especially if you are there with your illusions. This also adds charges to the items.

Poor Mans Shield:

Poor mans shield is an option if you have a really hard lane.
(But always remember: block does not work on illusions.)

,into
(level 1, upgrade only if charges are used)

into
into addition withinto

We should have it like this:



everything else is luxury!



Quelling Blade?

Quelling blade is gread for farming and illusions also benefit from the damageboost against creeps.
Must have for Slithice. (does not work with lifeleach)

Why Power Treads instead of Phase Boots?
PT is all we need, since all we want are stats to take fully advantage of our Mirror Image spell. Phase Boots may have higer movement speed and an active chase ability,
but the other stats (+damage and +amor) are just crappy on an
agility hero that uses images to deal tons of damage.
(further explainations in the mechanics section)

3 Wraithband, why dont u go Diffusal directly?
As an agility hero we have very low hit points.
Wraith Bands are the cheapest and for our hero most effective tier 1 item,
that provides us with all we want (hp, damage) via stats.

Diffusal Blade

*Purge ability which is very usefull for chasing an enemy.
*Diffusal has one of the rare orb effects which even work with our images, which means that every hit wether from you or your
images will burn the opponents mana and deal additional damage on every hit,
damage type of orb is physical.
(mathcraft incoming: you + 3 images = 4x20(36) = 80(144) damage
if all 4 hit once, remember its only the damage from the orb effect.)
*Nice Stats (agility is exactly what we want to push our images damage output)

-> all in all, diffusal is the best item we can imagine with Slithice
Naga Siren Item Build

Manta Style

Provides us with good stats (damage, movespeed, hp) and an active ability
that is equal to our level 3 Mirror Image spell, which means that we
will permanently have images around. Higher damage is the result.

Luxury Items
We basically have all we want now, and every further item will mainly strengthen the main Slithice.(except hp items)

Butterfly:

Decent item with good agility gain aswell as higher damage for you and your images.
(remember that illusions dont benefit from +IAS and +raw damage)

Heart of Terrasque:

Best item to get survivability via hp gain.
Expensive but solid.

Linkens Sphere:

Linkens Sphere with good stats and nice survivability against single target spells like stun/doom.


Item To Avoid:

Battle Fury

BF is just crap on this hero.
Remember that we want to strengthen our main hero AND our images.
While raw +dmg wont work on illusions and cleave dosent work too
this item combines everything we do NOT want.

Crystalys/Buriza Do Kyanon

Naga Siren is no have critical strike, so i'll suggest you to build this item.
