sure, no problem
I've been rotating between Alch builds. Almost all revolve around the quick radiance though.
The standard Radiance-Manta-BoT-Octarine
The forever miss build Radiance-Solar-Halberd-Heart
The ultra tank build Radiance-Heart-Cuirass-Skadi
I know battlefury could be good, especially with the cleave talent at lvl 20, but I'm still trying to work out how to build around battlefury instead of radiance. Better build up for BF though and cheaper, so could be useful in coming online slightly faster?
Bf means u go more fighting with shit like blink and sb and more fighting centric items as opposed to the cookie cutter radiance manta octarine
Treads instead of travels
^i literally said that
....
Basher isn't always needed, once ur lvl 15 with blink concoction u can kill most people, sny let's u run them down.
Honestly he seems fine, I rarely see him played anymore but he does well enough when I do see him get picked.

His builds are versatile enough to adapt to different scenarios, I don't think there are really any "bad builds" that are common with him.
I mean alch is a 40% Winrate hero
So
I think drums is a good item to get tbh but I don't see it bought
I guess higher mmr's favor the medallion when doing the build
Also see him almost exclusively played in the safelane considering how much he wud get shat on by meta mids.
Drums is pointless, no reason to buy such a cheap low impact item when you farm this fast.
What's low impact abt it
Idk how fast alch farms without any farming items
I guess medallion is superior to take roshan
You're the fastest farming hero in the game, why would you waste a slot on a 1600 gold item that only provides a bit of extra stats?
Drums is for the charges right
Not only the stats
I mean ur only buying 1 item of it's size, it's like how ud start out with armlet or medallion
Ye it's probably worse than them tho, I think the medallion build is better
Drums doesn't make sense of Alch at all, you're not that desperate for stats, nor are you hitting towers like with Enchantress. What exactly are you buying the drums for? It doesn't help you farm faster or help you get early kills.
Idfk I'm just making a shitty theorycraft
It helps u run down people and help take ur safelane tower after u bully the offlaner out?
If you need to chase people down that badly, then get a blink. Drums is a windlace worth of movement speed. Waste of time focusing on the enemy tower when you could be farming camps when your wave is pushed.
^raindrops
Sr gives hp
u shud live to triple raze I think, and if u get blink medallion u shud be able to hunt him. Problem is if he goes euls he will be able to pick u off. In that case u can go linkens I guess? Maybe even hood.

Aight so alch is a ded hero right?
How abt we go more fighting active build?
So we can go smth like medallion treads soul ring for the early game. Also builds into solar which is useful some games. Or use ur medallion and treads to set up early kills with big concoction dmg. Soul ring is to sustain urself, u Regen the health back with ur ulti easily. Get levels in greevils greed at 1 and 3, but max out concoction first. After max out greevils and spray. Take ulti when u can. Afterwards rush blink dagger and sange and yasha. Just take the early lead u got by killing the offlaner and get ur blink dagger to continuously gank him. Shadow blade can be considered instead of blink if they have stuff like Veno wards or
other things to scout u out so u cant blink in, or if u need silver edge. Go sange and yasha to abuse ur racecar powers. U can go manta if needed against silence or to purge certain debuffs. Afterwards it's whatever u need, lategame alch is often the same hero regardless, u can go ac for pushing or butterfly for even more racecar powers, bkb if needed, linkens if needed, abyssal for lockdown, nullifier against tinkers or sf's or to counter bkb's or whatnot, bloodthorn against ur slippery foes, mjollnir against illusions, mkb against evasion, skadi for max slow, satanic to counter their initiation, Shiva for extra armor but also that flying vision helps if u wanna find people hiding in trees, etc. Talents are fairly obvious, go attack speed then damage, the damage talent is huge since alch doesn't build too much of it naturally and it gives a massive power spike with his already nice attack speed. For the lvl 20 one u can take concoction dmg if u have solar crest since with the minus armor it's actually a pretty huge nuke, otherwise the cleave is good since u aren't rlly building any farming items and the cleave gives u the wave clear u lack without the usual radiance or even battlefury. Lvl 25 u want that lower BAT as it's super insane dps.
