Anti Mage Dota Item Guide and Strategy

Anti Mage Dota Item Guide and Strategy

Twin sons to the great Prophet, Terrorblade and Magina were blessed with divine powers: Terrorblade granted with an unnatural affinity with life forces; Magina gifted with energy manipulation. Maginas eventual overexposure to the magics gradually augmented his elemental resistances and bestowed him the unique ability to move faster than light itself. Now, broken by Terrorblades fall to the dark side, Magina answers the Sentinels call in a desperate bid to redeem his brother. Every bitter strike turns the Scourges evil essences upon themselves, culminating in a finale that forces his enemy to awaken to the void within and spontaneously implode.


So my start item build is like this

Two branch is good to increase your stat. and its cheap (@53)
Quelling blade is a good starting item for Magina because of its additional damage to creeps for better lasthit.
Its also can be useful for magina since he have blink ability, maybe sometimes you will be stuck in the tree after cast blink :D
Why Ring of Protection at start of game? 
Ring of Protection is not available at the side shop so  if you need to build Ring of Basilus you just need to buy Sobi Mask at the side shop. Later will be upgraded into vladmir overing.

1. Mana Break
2. Blink

=======================================

Understanding Your Skills

Mana Burn

� Damage type: normal
� Deals 0.6 damage per point of mana burnt.
� Mana Burn is blocked by magic immunity.
� This skill is an Orb Effect.
� You can lifeleech the damage dealt by this skill with a Lifesteal aura.

Blink

Why max blink ASAP ?

Blink gives Magina extreme maneuverability.  Although he lacks health, his speed and agility make up for it.  Blink is extremely versatile and you will find yourself banging your head saying, 
�Why didn�t I max Blink first?!� because of dying to your blink�s cooldown.

Mana Void

Mana Void deals damage according to your targets mana and how much of it is missing.  The more mana the target is missing, the more damage you do.  Furthermore, Mana Void deals Area of Effect (AoE) damage.  But the skill only targets one unit.  The damage dealt in the AoE is the same (ignoring each units separate magic damage resistance).  But all the damage comes from whatever damage the targeted unit takes.  For example, you use Mana Void on some hero.  That hero takes 200 damage.  That means all the other units within the area of effect will also take damage, regardless if they have mana or not. Also, you can�t target units with no mana pool at all, like ghouls and treants.
 =====================================================

Chose bottom lane for sentinel, and top lane for scourge, Your job is only lasthit and deny creep.
If you face the nuker hero, just stay in back of tower, haras once and back. Keep last hitting until you get main itembuild.
In my oppinion, the best item build for magina at start game is deffensive item like vanguard and PT.
Its will better than you chose damage item. 
Why? 
With vanguard, you can stay at lane much longer and get better gold also exp. 
Not choose damage item ?
Your manaburn is annoying enough to your enemy, and combo with void.
