dont go shadow blade and dont go radiance..that items kinda sux on tb.

Check this guy Tb : http://dotabuff.com/players/49382246/matches?date=&faction=&hero=terrorblade&lobby_type=&game_mode=&duration=

He is on of the best tb in the world if not a best. download some of his replays and copy.

Dagon 5 and lothar. Go into jungle ( let creeps attack you and lower your health ) then go lothar, find someone, ulti them and dagon. 100 % kill.

I keep telling people to 4-man push while I split. Never seems to work, either one idiot is off farming or they bring the fight to me.

Why does he build S&Y and not a manta style? I find the Yasha to be very useful but sange not so much so I build a yasha into a manta

You used meta lvl 1 to lasthit creeps.
Keep your 1st spell at lvl 1 in early levels.
Since you were roaming or atleast runing around and not farming that much, get something for your stats instead of yasha rush.
Dont buy lothars :D

watched like 15 minutes in of the games

7th best TB in europe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While S&Y provides you More MS and Health, Manta provides Illusions which are very squishy at first.
It's to preferences and game if you prefer either. In general yasha is strong in general and if you consider to make manta you might want to delay it a little unless the manta itself counters heroes.

A lot to talk about! In general since im more of a naga player I enjoy the radiance on him though I dont play the hero in general :p

Besides your first two games where your skill build is just plain retarded, you get Meta at 1. First, save your skill points before you see what you're laning against since Reflection is an extremely powerful slow, and two, Metamorphosis has an extremely long cooldown that using it to last hit will bite you in the ass because you'll have much less kill potential when you need it.

Just get better at last hitting, it isn't hard on TB, he has decent damage and a really quick animation like Anti-Mage. Their BAT, attack delay and their base damage are near identical, so if you're good with AM, then chances are you'll also be good with TB.

Try to avoid using Meta at rank 1 unless you need to, wait till level 3 where rank 2's damage bonus doubles to 40 damage. It really makes a difference when you attempt to kill someone.

Keep Reflection at 1, the thing that changes is it's damage and it's cooldown, neither do much in the early game, as the damage is based on the enemy's base damage, and everyone's damage sucks in the early game, so Reflection's also will. Lower cooldown doesn't play a part because you're not fighting 24/7.

Getting a second point into Reflection at 4 means not getting Conjure Image, and a metamorphosis illusion hits as hard as a regular melee TB, almost like a double damage. Use it to scout, last hit better, farm the jungle quicker, et cetera. There's so many more benefits from getting an early point in Conjure Image compared to a rank 2 Reflection.

Max Metamorphosis by 7, always. There's no reason not to. 1-1-3 by level 5 because your other skills are percentage based and so don't do much at low values, so through elimination that leaves the only Metamorphosis as the skill you should put skill points into early on.

SNY is good when you're actually partcipating in fights instead of afk farming with a Radiance, which you generally shouldn't do, because you can contribute so much with just Metamorphosis and Conjure Image in the early game, even your illusions hit like a truck. The problem is that TB lacks strength/HP, and SNY gives lots of it. The extra illusions from Manta are relatively useless if they just get one shot by a support's nuke before they can do any damage, so getting SNY makes you and your Conjure Image illusions stronger, rather than having 3 weak as hell illusions with Manta + Conjure.

SNY also gives a chance to slow someone, which is helpful when you're in ranged form and you dont want to get in melee range for Sunder / Reflection. It's like a mid game alternative to Skadi, since it's easy to build, and you can also go back and build into a Manta Style when you disassemble it, which you should do when your illusions don't get instantly killed.

All Radiance + Manta does is allow you to farm more, but you don't "do" anything with your farm, because you'll just get blown up in team fights. All that net worth that you have doesn't mean jack when you don't contribute to the team.

Press E, Press W, win game, need i say more?

Last time he made one of these "watch my game threads" I told him to improve his skilll builds, specifically Phoenix, and they're still shit. idk why he asks for advice when he won't follow through
