[Guide] Rikimaru - The Stealth Assassin

Born as the heir to the satyr dominion, Rikimaru was trained by the mightiest warriors of his race. However, the power of the Burning Legion managed to corrupt many of his kind, leaving them as mindless beasts in the forest. Vowing revenge against the Scourge, he sharpened his skills for battle. Using his small size to his advantage, he can render himself invisible, enabling him to stab his enemies in the back. And by using thick smoke as cover he becomes nearly untouchable.

Items Build:



Priority: 2 Circlet of Nobility(s), 2 Slipper of Agility(s), Boot of Speed, 2 Wraith Band recipes, 2 Boot of Elvenskin(s), Glove Haste, Powet Tread Recipe, Blade of Alacrity, Yasha recipe, Blade of Alacrity, Yasha recipe, Sacred Relic, Radiance recipe.

I bulid Rikimaru with all-about-agility. Set PT in Agility mode and complete 2 yasha(s) . In the late game, you can sell WB for Eaglehorn and upgrade it to the Butterfly! If the game continues and you're a greed person, sell another WB for MKB's slot. I prefer MKB than Buriza since Rikimaru's core is damage, not AS. You need high AS to use Buriza effectively. MKB offers 30% +100dmg and Buriza 20% 2.2x crit strike. It's nice if the critical actives when you blink strike ((base dmg + 120dmg + your agility)*2.2). But the main point is, you deal high damage in a strike. That's Rikimaru's style. I prefer MKB after all.

How to play:
I don't like solo for this hero. In early game, this hero is very weak and has nothing to do but farming. Place Riki with range enemy is bad idea. Try to line up with baby-sitting hero like Omniknight, Crystal Maiden, Treant or Holy Knight. Full your BS and backstab first bcause they're your only weapon to kill. Get 1lvl SS to drive out your enemy from farming field so you can easily hit and deny creeps. If the situation becomes hard (you're solo and face double team Mirana+Traxex or Luna+Lion, example), you can farm neutral creeps. Hunt the EXP and gold. After that, your BS+SS will be a deadly play (i hope).

Best Ally(S) : Omniknight, Crystal Maiden, Treant Protector, Holy Knight, Vengeful Spirit.
Worst Enemy(s) : Phantom Ass, Earthshaker, Axe, Stone Giant.
