Antimage, at the same time is a very simple and very complex hero. He is a real long-liver, because he is known since Dota Allstars. This carry hero is well suited for beginners, because after learning to play it, you will begin to understand the basics of the game and its simplest mechanics. So, I propose to go through its minuses and pluses.
Minuses:
Weak on the line;
It depends a lot on the pace;
Requires a lot of time for pharma;
Poorly gaining a network before buying a bfa;
There is a contract.
Positive:
Huge mobility;
Is the counterpick of all magicians;
Due to the second skill and the purchase of BFA, the network is gaining very quickly;
Dojit gangi;
Excellent splitpusher.
Its main side is the ability to quickly kill any hero for Abyssal Blade. During the camp, you often burn out all the mana, and the enemy does not have time to press BKB. He can also effectively push creeps along the line, buying time for his team, and preventing enemies from demolishing the throne. Now I propose to go through the basic abilities.
MANA BREAK
The hero burns mana to everyone he hits. Deals additional damage. If there is no mana left, it slows down movement by 40%. As you understand, coupled with the ultimate, this is a very strong character, against any manazavisimogo hero.
BLINK
The hero teleports to any point within the specified radius. Helps to survive both on the line and in the game. Provides fast movement from spot to spot, and an unexpected attack on the enemy. It also makes it easy to get in and out of fights. Since you will use this skill very often when playing on Antimage, I advise you to learn the abuzny mechanics of mana. Learn how to quickly switch PT to mana, before using blink, and back to dexterity. This way you will save a frenzied amount of resources, which will allow you not to go to the base, and not to waste farm time.
COUNTER SPELL
The hero has a shield for a moment that protects him from directed spells. This skill trains your reaction well, as it appears for about a second. With a good reaction, you can destroy any enemy exits on you, and not let them kill you. When buying an Aganim shard, you will be able to hang it on your allies.
MANA VOID
The Antimage deals damage to a certain area, which is proportional to the burned mana. In other words, the less mana the opponent has, the more damage you will inflict on the area. Works great against all magicians, and sometimes vanishes the hero in one application.
Game Actions
Battle Fury is your starting point. The faster you get it, the sooner you will be able to dial a frenzied network. After the BFA, I recommend buying Manta Style, which will help you survive attacks and scare off dangerous lines. Then look at the situation. Abysal Blade looks good, which will help kill the enemy for the camp and Battlefury / Skadi, which will give survival and damage. Gather according to the situation, based on the enemy peak.
