New hero in Newerth! Amun-Ra!

I'm sorry for the delay guys, but here's the new hero spotlight.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRUt9ldgfnk


The corrupted disciples of Sol harnessed the errant energies of the sun, and from that culmination of twisted nether emerged the ancient daemon god Amun-Ra, abomination of all that is light and holy. Fused together by black fire and fury, this immortal construct threatens to raze the lands with every burning step, defiling everything he touches with heretical fervor.

A keeper of lost lore and a priest to forgotten gods, Magebane invokes unholy rituals to drain the energy of his enemies and turn it back against them.

15.- Spell Resistance/Flash

17-25.- Stat Points

Skill explanation:

You need the first level of flash for mobility. Extra levels that could be used for mana combustion in early are a waste. The level 4 stat points are to have more lane fat and that general boost is almost like lvling up an extra lv, meaning faster att speed, more regen and dmg, even if it is a little it helps more than early magic defense when most spells cannot kill you yet.

When I say flash/spell resistance and then spell resistance/flash I mean that those are two alternative skill builds, the one to the left is the recommended by me, the other is circunstantial if you are facing way too many mages, which you shouldn't be so early on.

Item Build

  X 4-6

Fill the rest of your inventory with these:

 X 5

This should be enough to let you stay in peace in your lane for a while. Then get marchers.

 X 1

Now get 2 Soulscreamer rings or three. The reason for this is that Magebane is the fastest atacking hero in the game so getting him an overall stat boost in early will allow you to keep hunting down the enemies, let you cast more flashes and mana burn more times all in one.

 X 2-3

Then finish off your steamboots, you wanna make em strenght first cause you will need it for survivability, you already got your rings for agi.

  Str Steamboots

Now here is up to you. You got 3 choices, choose wisely as it varies from situation from situation. This items are important for magebane's survivability and shouldn't be skipped.

 X 1 If they lack mages

After getting this turn your steamboots to Agi.

  X1 If their mages are high damagers

By this I mean they hae Aoe damages or high damaging nukes that are kind of spammable or they kill you easily

  X1 If they got Deadly targeting skills.

As far as I know, any targeting skill can be blocked and this is lifesaving against heroes as blood, lego and maybe pyro. Also the regen and stats are pretty nice.

Next up, is time to start doing some serious dmg.

  X 1

I already said magebane is the fastest hero in the game. Not because he has more IAS than everyone, but because his base attack speed is faster and that allows him to have the fastest att speed in the game. Get him one of this babies and he's ready to roll.

This all is necessary as far as I know, next up is MY of building magebane.

  X 1

This is very nice with magebane. High att speed = more disables + you will need to slow them down if your wanna burn some high amount of mana in late and also it's useful for disabling spellcasters and just about everything else.

  X 1

This is just what you needed, the item that will make you immortal and also pretty hard to get except you are farming noobs. Btw, with immortal I mean you will be pretty hard to kill unless they got some nasty disables or they overpower you and you could still always flash away.

And the last item is...


If you decide to forfeit this item, the last item is up to you. Since I haven't gotten this far in a game with magebane in HoN, I just suppose this is a good idea.

  X 1
