    Is there any time where using the bf build is particularly better than the magic build? I understand that the bf build is situational but i really don't know when it's better.

    TLDR
    If you can't read 1 1/4 lines of text there is really no hope for you.

            magic damage ember is insanely good. i already lost he counts on how many keyboards i've snapped because i'm a slark player on main and when the magic ember came on IT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD AGAINST SLARK AND I COULDNT DO SHIT bcoz you cant refresh bkb anymore so yea you stay alive for the first 3 tf with bkb but then it just consumes 4k gold and a slot

            its the worst feeling possible as a slark having to press ult AND bkb
            ALWAYS go magic ember

              When ur team doesn't has hitters. Magic build dominates early. Lvl 4 at mid u can already kill like tinker, ta invoker sf. They are so paper. Imagine if u got veil.

                He sure is short, Valve should update his model to make him at least 4 inches taller.

                fx

                  Hmm is the physical damage better vs illusion so you build physical damage. Like pl tb

                      Magic damage build (veil) = early + early to mid game
                      Physical damage build (battle fury) = late game
                      In a perfect draft, magic ember would be chosen to help the physical damage safe laner to farm up and join fights late game. physical ember would be chosen more likely as a safe laner to split push as his early game magic damage dealing mid makes space for him and fights. Physical damage ember has lost viability because split push is not that strong now (not as weak as recently, but still). He is too weak and depends solely on 3 spirits to exit while hoping to crit on sleight of fist attacks.
                      Remember what happened to Miracle's ember in TI6. Standing next to a venge and right clicking him with a rapier while hoping to get a crit didnt do it.
                      And just so you know, magic damage ember is weak only in the mid game when enemy have 10 second BKBs. In the late game, he is extremely tanky and a pest to deal with with Shiva's and Octarine.

                        Btw if anyone have this kind of questions just go watch ana's Ember on the OG vs EG match he's good from early to late game

                          so basically unless someone picks CK and TB on the same team and there isnt a TA then you should go magic? seems legit. only reason i ask is because the phys build is so strong at farming and just getting whatever you want once you have daedelus blink bf.
                          :D
