Introduction Top

HI guys,I'm JustPlaySomeSC. I present you my First VG Guide.I choose to present flicker because i use him ALOT in ranked matches. This is my Flicker Captain guide,hope you enjoyed it.

HERO INFO AND ABILITIES Top


Flicker is a sneaky trickster able to disrupt foes with his debilitating abilities. Utilizing his stealth, Flicker can plunge deep into enemy lines causing mayhem or grant his entire team stealth to initiate on unsuspecting prey.

Flicker is one of the Bleekos — the mortal enemies of Petal’s Meekos. More on that troubled history is to come.


Willow Whisper
Slot: Heroic Perk

Flicker gains stealth and a move-speed bonus when in brush for 2s. Flicker can then leave the brush and remain stealthed for 3s.
  • Flicker has true sight while stealthed.
  • Taking damage, attacking or using abilities removes stealth.

This perk is the main utility tool for Flicker,Which gives Flicker the ability to stealth while stay in the bush long enough,This what make Flicker annoying.This perk also helps you to initiate gank with surprise,It can also be used to spy on enemies,bush check and place Scout Trap by safety.Flicker also gain a burst of movement speed when stealth.However, it can be countered by vision items such as Flare.

Binding Light
Slot: A

Flicker commands his fairies to swarm the target location for 2s, dealing damage to enemies within it. When the effect expires, fairy light roots any enemy heroes still within the area.

This Ability is quite useful,you can root and damage enemies when they have less health,The ability takes time to root the enemies,so predicting the enemy where they will go is needed.you can also escape from the enemy grasp by using this ability to root them,since the ability has long range.It can also use to reveal bush without you entering,The weakness of the ability is that is has a really small effected area,so time it right!

Fairy Dust
Slot: B

Flicker swirls fairy dust around him for 3s, slowing and dealing damage to anyone inside the dusted area. After 3s, the dust ignites, dealing a burst of damage.

The main strength of Flicker,This is the ability you use to slow and damage your enemies,its often use to gank enemies,or save teammates by slowing down the enemy,This ability claims to be impossible to escape,because it moves with flicker,I recommend to overdrive it to reach the 65% slow(suppose to be 75% but it is nerfed,thanks SEMC!)

Mooncloak
Slot: C

After 1s, Flicker and his allies temporarily gain stealth and a move-speed bonus.
  • The stealth will break when a hero uses an ability, attacks or takes damage.
  • All heroes affected by this ability will have true sight while stealthed.
  • After a short time, that hero will stealth again so long as Mooncloak's duration has not expired.

The Ultimate for Flicker,Great for initiating team fights late game. This Ultimate is Global,which means when you are at your base,while your allies are being chased in the enemy's base,you can activate this ability to stealth them, no matter how far you are.Just like your perk,The stealth you provided to your team,also gains movement speed,So you can use it just like a War Treads.This Ultimate is game changing,but A bad initiation of team fights and vision items can make your ultimate a waste.This ultimate has long cooldown,use it wisely!

ITEM EXPLANATION Top

1) Stormcrown,The Core item for Flicker,Helps Flicker to Solo Objectives (Including Kraken) And deals more damage to enemy heroes.It also can let Flicker to lower his ability cooldowns.( Flicker can solo the kraken once he got his core items)

2) Fountain of Renewal,The must-have item for Captains,[Passive]Heals you bit by bit and [Active]heals your entire team during a team fight!(You can also use it situationally)

3) War Treads,Use it for entire team to chase or escape while also gaining a bulk of health.

4) Crucible,Gain alot of health and use it to block devastating effects,like Ardan Gauntlet

5) Contraption,Great way to save inventory slots and gold,With this you dont need to buy Scout Trap and Flare.Use this item to counter Taka Kestrel and another Flicker

6) Atlas Pauldron,Defenses againts WP heroes with high attack speed such as, SAW Krul and Rona

7) Shiversteel, For those Flicker who prefer Frostburn,I have to say is Frostburn slow is not compatible to Flicker's B because they wont stack! Shiversteel lets Flicker gain a lot of health while the basic attack slow by Shiversteel is more versatile than the STUPID Frostburn.

8) Echo, Let you use your ultimate one more time.

9) Alternating Current, A good Offense item for Flicker,Paired with Stormcrown, Flicker now deals more damage after used an ability,and capture objectives at a faster rate.

10) Nullwave Gauntlet is a situational item when the enemy team has alot of active items,it also lets Flicker to use abilities more frequent.

Gameplay and Strategies Top

START
At the start,i recommend grabbing an Ironguard Contract and a Sprint Boots .you have 2 choices early game,initiate early team fights or Farm safely.If you have confidence that all enemies are waiting on you at the big treant,you can steal their jungle farm (1 treant and 2 big gold monster).

To initiate Team Fight Early,
If you are initiating team fight early, Protector Contract is quite helpful.You ping your laner to come to the jungle,then initiate the team fight by landing on top of the enemy while your stealth and Press B.Only do this if you and your jungler are strong heroes in early game such as Koshka and you got the guts to take the risk.

If you are farming safely,
Tank the jungle monster hits for your jungler,then let the jungler get the last hit.Both will get money and small amount of health restored.Since Defence and Utility items are not as expensive as Offensive Items,You dont really need to get the last hit for that extra gold,Your Jungler needs more gold than you.

Jungle Shop Spawns and Mining has Begin
After all the Farming,Get a Stormcrown to deal more damage with your auto attacks.I recommend after getting the Stormcrown,Rush Fountain of Renewal.You should be ganking and assisting your jungler or carry to secure kills.Buy some Scout Trap and place them near the jungle shop,so you can track the enemies location.

MID GAME
During this state,You should have gotten half of your core items.Stick with your teammates and initiate gank on lonely heroes.If your lucky enough to get an ACE.I recommend take at least 2 objectives.(Turret and Gold miner).Take the Crystal miner if you have the chance,they give 125 gold and once they lost the crystal miner completely,you can control the jungle easily.

LATE GAME(Kraken Spawns)
During late game,You should have get almost all or all of your items.You should stick to your teammates all the time.The enemy will also do the same,So team fight initiation and team coordination is really important.I recommend getting a Flare and check the bush (Make sure it dont have any Scout Trap or not you will be tricked,trapped and die.initiating a team fight with Mooncloak is better than initiating on your own.Focus killing the Carry!Stealth the jungler and let the jungler kill their carry.Protect your carry by sticking with him.Kill the carry then jungler last Captain.
