                    otherwise thats what ive been doing , just 2nd null instead of aquila

                    i ask that 1st part coz i saw sumail in example skip treads and 2nd null to go for a straight force

                    i just took inspiration from SCCC lul

                      Double null if you suffer to last hit in lane or the opponent has higher damage than you, drums is pretty good, if you can get pike at a reasonable timing, rushing scythe is not bad too, buying bkb and Linken is optional (as the game unfolds ofcourse)

                      Player 345996680

                        dont you just buy the double null also so you becomethe one that the enemey mid struggles to lasthit against?

                          2 null is a good idea because they just boost you stats nicely, especially for dominating lane. Not a must to have two coz might mess up item slots, but definitely get a null and also a magic stick.
                          Blink is situational, if you feel you need it to position yourself better you can get it, but forcestaff is safer. Blink if ahead is good.
                          Drums is good item on OD, combined with for example two null talisman it will make you very tanky in early engagements. Get force staff if you need to use it vs enemy team, like clockwork, hook... You can buy them in any order depending on the game, and there may be games where other items are better.
                          personally dont like midas into travels, kinda slow and makes you squishy, but i guess in some games if you have the time and you want to accelerate farm why not. just dont pull it off vs aggressive enemy team.
                          linkens and bkb are both very good items which you can get after for example drums or forcestaff. they are not too defensive, but should rarely be your first item of course unless you are completely losing the game and need to get bkb.
                          think moon shard is very good later, but items like hex are better in my opinion to get first
