[Guide] Shield stacking on sat VS Speed poke rush

Postby Burn » Sat Apr 16, 2016 2:48 am

Speed poke cost: 105G + 750W (300HP 2A)
Shield of might: 90G + 1800W (550HP 7A)

I think it's better to rush at least one shield, then speed poke, in 99% of scenarios. Shield makes you tanky af and give you the chance to gold at mid basically forever without dying because someone blocked you from poking, and better base support. You can easily get speed poke after the first SoM and is unkillable unless you get double wotw.

After you get speed poke, rush blur so that you can blur then dash out when you're low life, then health of replenish back to full life (drop SoM for faster HP regen).

Rinse and repeat every CD to get full invent. SoM + SoF.

Guide Reversal: Getting speed poke hastens your lumber/gold really quick.

Rushing speed poke is good if:

1) Titan doesn't get damage items
2) Titan's nuke is shit
3) You're good at wall walk/speed poking
4) Titan is camping, which gives you ample opportunity to get pokes off

Replay:

In the above replay, there weren't many upgraded walls mid early game for me to poke, and titan went damage items. He also spammed shade like a Nigerian scammer, which made it harder for me to poke.

I actually got around 4 Shield of mights and blur before I even got speed poke because titan was upgrading damage items so much.

Isn't RoS better in all 4 of those scenarios?

Also nice replay.

Too expensive. Rather have two SoM. You also need someone already made a merchant, or make it urself.

I'd rather a six slotted SoM Satyr than a 5 slotted SoM Satyr with RoS.

SoM rush Satyr base support and item buyer (bought 3 tridents, eye and ward on gobo hunt, only needed one more to one shot wards)
Barricade rewalling, 0 gold 0 wood cost unless titan kills the barricade.
Also had shadow dust, and soon blur.
It's probably even better to prioritise blur before speed poke against good titans.

Really boring replay though, don't bother to watch. I just posted to show it works. Only had one poke this replay.
