    As title, pretty much.

    Urn seems pretty core though I don't know when basher or armlet or something else would be preferable.

    Would be nice to hear from better players (so, just about anyone) how you build up this hero.

      shit hero dont bother

      TripleSteal-

        Phase boots, Urn, Bottle (if mid) in the beginning
        Then Vanguard
        Then bkb/aghs or vice versa; then VG->Crymson and smthng like ac - imo NS is very good as sort of supportive walking ward and not as carry. Skull basher can be a good investment sometimes, but I prefer rushing aghs (which is kinda very, very good for this hero) and bkb.

          @Porn Director, at my level PA/SF and other evasive right click heroes are pretty common, his blind/silence is just something that interests me as a tool to deal with these heroes.

          @Triple Steal is the unrestricted vision that good? what is your timing for aghs usually?

          TripleSteal-

            yup, imo the vision you get with aghs is incredibly good and important. it helps your team a lot. however, if you feel like u r playing with not rly reliable teammates, you can go for something more greedy.

            didnt keep an eye on timing, but I´d say ~19-25 min depending on how good the game is going, if i get it b4 bkb ofc

              vangaurd is really situational. Armlet/basher is usually more applicable imo

              Vaikiss`742.

                ns is actually extremely bad against rightclick based heroes like sf or pa

                he excels at squishy supports that can be shur down with silence and void spam at early levels..

                TripleSteal-

                  From my personal experience, when going for armlet/basher NS loses all his real power and becomes what Porn Director said - out-of-meta shithero. Imo its strength consists in his ability to "support ganks", create space, give vision and threaten enemy in the early stage of the game in order to let your #1 snowball/farm.

                  rightclickers can be ganked easily by his teammates - NS is not supposed to try to kill them on alone. However, his ability to silence any1 for 8 secs (insane!), dive under towers and move fast are rather useful, even though he needs some1 else to make his ganks succesfull.

                    Fun hero. Shortest laning stage in the game followed by non stop gankathon. I read one pro player saying euls is one of the best items on him but don't take my word for it
