    Although we won I feel like I died way too much given the amount of farm I had, and was wondering if skadi is an item I cud consider
    My main problem was axe blademail and sk. I cudnt manfight sf either but I cud kill him.
    Did I need bkb this game? Shud I have skipped shiva's or euls for something else? Pike?
    Maybe just stayed back and had better positioning, or bought a gem to see the axe/sf initiation.
    I felt like a god mid game then fell off cuz I'd get picked off or initiated on and bursted.

      yes

        bs sb bkb pike silver

        Shou

          I thought since they had legion I need linkens, and that they had all bkb piercing shit so I shud skip it
          What shud my solution to blademail be, is silver edge the right answer?

          one syllable anglo-saxon

            not getting dueled/called is the right answer, if u do ure dead no matter which items u have
            pike helps with that, bkb lets u just go in and hit stuff once u see axe/lc and lets u safely burst lc down if she duels someone else, + saves u from sk burrow-epi counter initiation
            silver lets u pick off silencer/sf or u can hit sf/lc/axe with it in the fight
            euls is a waste, u arent really afraid of global because usually what u do as lina is burst somebody down and get 3 stacks and after that u dont rly care + euls sets u up for axe/lc/sf ult

            Shou

              I like euls for using it on legion while she duel or axe after he call
              But yeah i think ur right
              I can bkb after global if that's a problem

              Shou

                And with Pike I can position better to help avoid that
                Ok i get it now

                  Satanic might have been good there to get your hp back after axe call
