Reflection

Zeal

Metamorphosis

Sunder

Solo mid, meaning making most of the levels while also having a decent level of lane control. This shall be achieved with early level of Metamorphosis for the excellent base dmg increase and range burst. You don't have a nuke early game, however you significantly better DPS puts you on par with some of the most nasty but soft solo mid heroes. You might or might not win the lane, but unless you are ganked, you should be able to get decent farm

This focus more on farming and protection on yourself. Zeal is maxed first here, since it's a great anti-harasser. Lvl 1 of Meta should be enough, coupled with Reflection if you want a gank done on your lane. You should not be over extending yourself, since you have to conserve your presence and farm as much as you can

HotD Build

After the partial skill remake, this item has emerges into one of the most successful items on Terrorblade so far. Coupled with high early damage and excellent attack speed, this item reaches its peak on Terrorblade extremely quick

Actually, that's it, any other items are only extensions. However, there is one special mention (credits to Lycan):
This item (used in the right circumstance) would give you an immese amount of DPS while also making yourself relatively less fragile. Be sure to use it before Metamorphosis, since your image would benefit from the +25 str (475 hp) without having to be feared of the degen. This belongs in the HotD section because you cannot support this item without lifesteal. And even then it's risky. Using this at your own risk only when you feel comfortable with it


Sange & Yasha Build

The core of this build, provide powerful speed boosting with relatively cheap price and easy build up (only relatively of course). This item screams "I need upgrades", so here they are:

Provide a relatively good boost to str. It is also cheap, and the attack modifier synergies well with IAS. Get it if you need more killing potential

What's good on image heroes? Well more images of course. This makes pushing and focus fire a breeze. Get it if you need devastation of focused DPS.

Yes, the Sange, in order to upgrade to . When I said Sange & Yasha build, I don't actually recommend making the Sange & Yasha at all actually. It's a fall back item that would forever stay like that. I would gladly farm for Heaven's Halberd to give scaling survivability and a good counter to dps-ing opponent and Manta, just about the best damage boost item in the game, than Sange & Yasha.

Ninja Build

Ok, now for the fun part a.k.a tentacle rape:

Now ask yourself this:

Am I a ninja? If yes, get

Do I like to instant rape the opponent out of the blue? Get

If I'm too noob to blink? Get

Do I want even moar haxor dmg? Get

Do my opponents still gets away from me? Get

Many people underestimate the importance of preparations in games, casual or competitive. That's why you see rage quitting in many pub games, simply because it's frustrating to feed that early in the game. It could always be avoided but some simply don't care. Just a few minute in game, you would feel the impact of the mediocre preparations on your shoulders, if you just happen to play against equal-skilled opponents.
So what preparations am I talking about? Well
-Mindset: Playing TB, it is going to be you, farming, and pawning later. Be prepared for a long game. If you own early, don't be hesitated to push. However never over extend yourself, and always farm when you're not pushing or teamfight. A semi-serious mood you do it
-Starting items: Get those that's most comfortable for you to use. (Not boots first/bottle (lol) first ofc). Don't grief yourself, and don't waste slot (unless you're using jungling item build)
-Software: Turn off all interferences, preferably

Jungling with Terrorblade 6.74c

The above video should demonstrate on how to jungling with him effectively. The goal of jungling is to provide a relatively safe way (mostly in pubs) for him to farm up. Properly executing these techniques shall make you not falling behind on levels and gold as well as having the option of giving your teammates an extra solo lane

How to (afk) Farm - DotA Guides

The link to the AFK farm guide by Luminous. That guide and his video is better explaination than anything I could write about this part

Pushing (whether afk pushing, team pushing or solo pushing) can be done during all stages of the game. But because TB isn't such a great pusher without both his Zeal and Meta maxed, his pushing power is limited to mid game onward. However, the later the game, the more crucial the push. During mid game, after you got 1/2 core items, TB should be able to take down towers with great ease. Of course it's not going to be that easy. Mostly pushing at this late stage involves after or trying to provoke a team battle. Always remember to save enough of your resources so that even if a battle takes place during/after the push, you wouldn't be unprepared.
