With a crystal saw build this skill deals more damage than all other heroes (except Joule and Skaarf) can do with all of their skills combined. It can easily kill a full-health enemy if you do it right.

Not sure about the numbers, but all slow stacking is multiplicative. It makes frostburn slightly less effective, but the fact that you have two slows right at the time you need them can easily make up for it.

1. If you have just this and aftershock, tyrant's monacle will be worse in every way than sorrowblade. 2. One or two hits per engagement is quite common 3. This is the only item that gives armor pierce and doesn't require you to attack five or so times in a row before it's effective 4. Sorrowblade costs 800 more gold 5. Making it true damage basically makes it deal twice as much damage. That means that you would have to attack more than 5 times or something for sorrowblade to be better....

Tension Bow is NOT true damage. This is a quote from my post on zyronl's guide: "Damage without tension bow, without dice: 52 Damage without tension bow, with dice: 78 Damage with tension bow, with tension bow passive, with dice: 217 Damage with tension bow, without passive, with dice: 129 Damage with tension bow, with passive, without dice: 174 Damage with tension bow, without passive, without dice: 86" The difference between the 2nd and 5th part is only 96. If it was...

It's important to note that while Ardan does get crystal power from energy items, it's not very much. For example, a void battery costs 750 gold, but it only gives Ardan as much crystal power as a crystal bit, while costing 2.5 times as much.

With max Kaiten Taka's energy is manageable with just an aftershock, just don't spam kaku and don't always use x-retsu on monsters. I suppose a tension bow could work as a replacement for an aftershock in that way, since it means you don't have to use x-retsu to kill monsters.

I actually believe this build is legit, and even...dare I say it?...viable. Although, I think he should build broken myth last, it will actually give more damage even if the enemy isn't buying shields.

Building tornado trigger before you have a weapon power item will actually add less damage than Sorrowblade would. It also seems strange to waste Glaive's insane lifesteal and crits just so you can build hybrid

Problems with that idea: 1. It would make the interface more complicated, which isn't a good thing when you're playing on your phone 2. There wouldn't really be a way to have a 5v5, which is really what people are asking for when they ask for a new map.

All of them. Basically, if it's an ability or from a blue item, then stuff involving crystals and shields affect it. If it's an autoattack or from a red item, stuff involving weapon power and armor affects it.
