best build=blink euls

-guy with 25% winrate

I cant euls all 5.I'm asking if my build will be more efficient in clash than using SB.

Have you tried destroying enemy ancient?

^cookie's little fanboy.

i have mixed feelings about sny. also try out hurricane pike. one of sfs issues is mobility, and pike can help with that. more so since blink gets cancelled after taking damage, and sf is prone to getting caught out and taken down

sb is a sure to get in pubs. really great item to just be the boogeyman of the match. se is not a bad upgrade as well

^SE got nerfed with its DMG decrease and recipe increased.But I get the point of your Pike.And S&Y got buffed tho.

sf is fun

^He is not when you are teamed up with a bunch of players that can only play one role.Core.

Sf is kinda flexible in items early on. U can rush sb, or get lance first then sb, or fast blink if u have a lot of teamfight and r snowballing, or fast pike if u need to save urself in a fight, yasha if u want manta for the dispel, fast silver edge if u need break, bkb after lance if ur having an abyssmal game, etc etc. The items sf wants is a small set, but what order and exactly which ones is very game dependent. If u have a 2 second stun on ur team a blink sf can instagib any enemy until the very late game with blink requiem. The only mandatory item is bkb, because ur so vulnerable to being disabled, especially during requiem. However if u can get away without bkb then do so.

shadow blade paired with blink is fun for pubstomp

Treads+aquila+raindrop->sb+lance in either order->whatever items you need.
