General DiscussionTa stacking ancients

to clear things up;

at what lvl I go to kill ancients? How many stacks should I do before I kill them?

Also, how do I start killing them? I tried in a lobby and I died. xd

Just common sense would say you need full psi blades or a dragon lance and a point or two cus to clear them you need range. You pull them then back up to some hill or something and use attack move so you hold position and the creeps keep resetting to minimize hits. That's how you clear ancients on any ranged hero really, same thing for luna especially. I think damage wise you'll be fine whenever, TA has a lot of dmg, though of course deso would make it trivial.

I'd stack them as much as you can since you won't be taking dmg if you do it right with the ranged pull, but it's really hard to get more than 3 stacks.

Well you can kite the ancients with your ulti as TA , put down an ult , aggro the ancients , then activate the ult , boom , free hits on them

You need level 2 psi blades. maxed out shield and ult. Power treads aquila and blight stone will usually do the job. You can stack them 4/5 times before you kill them but the purple ancients are hard to deal with since they regen

Pull whenever you have the opportunity to push the wave out to do it. Number of stacks doesn't really matter, more stacks the better since you'll be avoiding attacks to a large degree. I usually clear them at first opportunity after getting power treads since tread switching will allow you enough mana to cast refraction enough times to clear it.

If you have the new ancients in your stack make sure you're strong enough to clear it completely if you start otherwise you'll go back and they'll all be healed.

i usually kill ancients when i have maxed refraction, aquila blight stone

Stack whenever you can.

Kill with PT, AQ, BS with maxed Refraction and level two Psi Blades. Level 10 with talent is a safe bet. You can kill them at level 7 if you get DD.

Put trap on stack, let it spring for full slow duration, detonate, attack and kite, put another trap to refresh the slow.

Anyone have any tips for solo Roshing as TA? I occasionally try him out with a good rune after getting deso, maybe 16 minutes or so and don't feel strong enough to take him out by myself.

Since changes to Roshan you need either DD or someone with you, such as Slardar or Venge. Solo Roshan is very slow and risky now.

When I start stacking? minute 3 if lane is not pressured

When should I go to kill them? whenever u have the space to

How many stacks I should stack before I atempt to kill them all? as many as you can

As the orginal prince of saiyans and the 1k gpm TA God. I get 1k gpm as ta without stacking ancients. Look at my last 3 games, 1k gpm ta with no stacks. So the answer is

You should Never stack unless its directly on your way to grab a rune. And you should only clear the stack with deso while passing it by. Anything else is actually less effecient for gold compared to not missing a wave in mid lane or the 2 camps you can clear in the time it takes to stack one.

You can start killing ancients at lvl 7 if u r Gud at kiting the ancients
