For this reason Assault Cuirass and Mjollnir are great. Late game: attack speed is great on DK because he can proc level 3 ulti slow on more people more quickly, and his natural attack speed is fairly slow compared to the agility carries. This weakens DK's carry potential but increases his pushing potential. One final possibility - common in competitive Chinese DotA - is Drums into Pipe. Armlet is also a good item to rush in the mid game - it is incredibly good value for stats.

You can also go for a Shadow Blade (as in Pinoy DotA) for easy initiation and ganking - find a target through good warding from support, pop ulti, shadow blade, attack for bonus damage into stun and then kill them - it's gimmicky but it can work well. Black King Bar is core on DK (imho), being magic immune prevents you being bursted, allows you to stick on targets, and complements your high armor. Mid game: Helm of the Dominator if you know how to stack ancients and make sure to do it every :52, don't get it otherwise. You can also get an early Hand of Midas if you think you can get away with a weaker early game and you want to stretch the game out. Power Treads are the boots you need (you need attack speed). Get wand if you're against Batrider, spammy heroes generally. Bottle is good mid if you can bottle crow/have good rune control. With just a midas early you are pretty weak if they tp in and try to stop your push and DKs with HoD will be stacking and farming ancients when you could be getting your whole team gold and map advantage.Įarly: Soul Ring is great for Dragon Breath harass, and helps with your mana issues. I personally don't like HoD or Midas rush because both sort of discourage his early pushing strength. Pipe, bkb, HoD, Mj and AC are all viable first big items. One of DK's greatest strengths is his ability to push pretty hard with acid dragon and the mana from bottle/soul ring let's him clear creep waves quickly with breath fire.ĭK has such great flexibility in items after his early core because once he gets lvl 2/3 ulti he does fantastic damage just by staying alive and attacking. I usually follow a bottle with drum if I'm mid for a little extra int in case I can't always get runes. One of these two items is absolutely necessary on DK. Soul ring for side lane and bottle if mid.

One thing a lot of these builds aren't mentioning is soul ring or bottle.
