    I really love this hero, but can anyone tell me the best build for this hero right now? Ive been experimenting with hurricane pike with this hero so far it's alright. Also I think i got the mechanics down for this hero, but if you guys can give better insight on playing him, I would really appreciate it.

              @Benao I like to initiate honestly with this hero so I go sb/blink but I like your build good for pushing strats
              @Robin it's a retardted name but I like it since im a rtz fanboi
              @1nx4c I would never pick it in my solo rank games
              @Kore yah dragon lance is good, should I rushed it b4 my sb/blink?

                doesnt matter if u build it first or after blink/sb i think. if ur having a bad game its safest to dlance first

                  i like to go mek on sf after treads, wand, aquila, bottle it makes you tankier and harder to kill, provides heal for teamfights and you can push easily. After mek you can go sny, bkb, skadi depends on your choice.

                          treads sb aghs bkb skadi/manta does the job for sf. dmg items or refresher later also work

                          yung griphook

                            do the matrice build, going back and forth between souls, stats, passive, while skipping raize all together. aquila treads dom drag lance sb/silver edge manta skadi etc etc.

                            or you could just pick drow

                                  @hijo interesting, might try it for fun in unranked

                                    U rush silver edge . S&Y , BKB, bfly , skadi satanic

                                      anything that has stats is good. And always HotD>>>deso.

                                      I think deso builds are the reason for sf's low win rate in pubs. He's just too squishy to be a deso carrier, unless u hav insane positioning and clutch game skills and can predict the enemy's moves, or they're feeding like retards

                                      Dire Wolf

                                        Deso is awful. I don't even play SF and can tell you that.

                                        Ok just logically and having read advice from much higher mmrs that play sf....

                                        SF has built in dmg with necromastery and aura so you really don't need to build that much more dmg. He has no escapes of defensive abilities though so he desperately needs stats, mobility and often times bkb. That means build things like silver edge, s&y/manta, bkb, hotd, skadi, butterfly, sometimes blink, etc and don't build junk like deso or daedulus rush. Daedulus is good as like a 5th or 6th item.

                                        I don't think there is any one best build on him, it'll be game specific.

                                        ^^

                                            Desolator is good item on Shadow FIend. YOu just need to know how to play with it.
