Clinkz Eastwood - Basic Guide Relyks January 28, 2012 Introduction Hello there! My name is Relyks and this is my first guide Clinkz, The Bone Fletcher. I think Clinkz is a great all around carry, he has good damage output, and using Skeleton Walk he can scout, escape, and maneuver around the map with ease. One of the biggest cons to Clinkz is that he is like paper he is ridiculously squishy. So, in order to play Clinkz effectively, you have to play in a particular way, use his skills correctly and build him a little tanky. I would recommend him to beginners as he is relatively easy to learn. He is very fragile, but difficult to kill due to his extreme elusiveness with Skeleton Walk. His ultimate also gives him some added bulkiness as well as some extra power. Key White = Titles of Sections LGreen = Items Red = Skeleton Walk Yellow = Strafe Orange = Searing Arrow Blue = Death Pact BKB = Black King Bar MKB = Monkey King Bar Sov = Scythe of Vyse Items Let's briefly go over Clinkz item build. Keep in mind that all builds are bare-bones no pun intended. It's simply core, you will always build situational items depending on the enemy team comp or what you are having problems with. Starting Items A tango and health pot for some lane staying. Iron Branch, SoA, and a Circlet for some stats. Early Game Items Boots of Speed are pretty obvious choice in my opinion, even with Skeleton Walk, it's nice to have some extra base mobility. I would suggest Medallion of Courage for the armor survivability and 50% mana regeneration, which gives you lane staying. I like it more than Ring of Aquila and I've built both. Core Items Power treads. I would pretty much take them over any other boots. They give you attack speed which is good because most of your "mid-game" damage comes from Searing Arrow; that's why it is maxed first. Clinkz being so squishy, having them on strength gives you that added survivability. Also, the extra mobility is good. Orchid of Malevolence. This is a big item on Clinkz. It gives you a boat load of extra mana, and also gives you some awesome mana regeneration which allows you to auto-cast Searing Arrow with little consequence to your mana pool. It also gives some nice added attack speed and damage. With this, it allows you to 1v1 most heroes mid game and is a great asset in team fights. Since you're ***anish carry, you can roam around with Skeleton Walk, find a lone hero, silence them with orchid, use Strafe and go to town. Late Game Items Monkey King Bar. This item gives you a bit of extra attack speed as well as a huge chunk of damage. It also gives you some useful passives. The mini bash it gives you is great because you attack so fast w/strafe it's even faster, and the bash procs quite a lot. 35% proc, probability wise, means that, 1/3 hits will mini-stun. With your attack speed, it's no problem. It also gives you true strike which basically means that your attacks cannot miss, omitting certain circumstances. After these items, I would suggest buying what you need based on the enemy team composition. Situational. If they have a lot of magic damage/magic stuns that are disabling you and ripping you apart, get Black King Bar. If you want some more attack speed for Searing Spear and MKB to proc more, get Butterfly; the added dodge percentage also helps immensely. Want crit, build Daedalus. Want another diable, get Scyhe of Vyse. Skills Strafe Duration per level 4/6/8/10 Bonus Attack Speed 110 Cooldown per level 60/50/40/30 Mana Cost 90 -When used, there is a visible spell animation on the model of Clinks showing that it is active. Searing Arrow Range 600 Bonus Damage 20/30/40/50 Mana Cost per throw 8 -Searing Arrows is a Unique Attack Modifier, and does not stack with other Unique Attack Modifiers. -The Searing Arrows do damage to structures, making clinks great at taking out buildings towers, barracks etc. -The Damage is directly applied to Clinkz attack damage as physical damage. Skeleton Walk Duration per level 20/25/30/35 Bonus Movement Speed per level 11%/22%/33%/44% Cooldown 20 Mana 75 -Clinkz can go through units when under the effects of Skeleton Walk. -Will not break most channeling of spells or items upon activation. -When attacking, invisibility is broken before the projectile reaches the target. -Has a fadetime of seconds. -Using phase boots, or changing the stat on Power Treads will break the stealth. Using most any item, breaks the stealth as well. -It is good to know that with the duration being longer than the cool down, you could theoretically could be stealthed as long as you'd like. Death Pact Range 400 Duration 35 Bonus HP and HP Capacity per level 50%/60%/70% of the killed unit's HP Bonus Damage per level 4%/6%/8% of the killed unit's HP -If the target is an enemy or neutral unit, it will give the Clinkz the correct gold and experience bounty. -Clinkz gains HP capacity based on the HP of the target. Increases his current and max HP by a certain amount. -When the duration ends, the max HP returns to normal, but Clinkzs' current HP remains the same. If his HP is greater than his normal maximum, it will be set to his maximum. -Bonus damage is also a percentage of the killed unit's HP. Early/Middle/Late Game Early Game Play very cautious and use Searing Arrow to last hit creeps. It is also quite good at harassing the enemy within your lane, as well as for doing damage to towers. Early game, with little mana regen, you may want to use it sparingly so you have enough mana to use Skeleton Walk in case of emergency. Farm your Boots and Medallion. Continue farming until you get your Power Treads. Try not to engage in team fights unless absolutely necessary, as you will most likely just be focused and melted. Continue farming. Don't really worry about ganking early game unless a prime opportunity presents itself. Middle Game Now you should have at least your Power Treads and Medallion, and probably some components of Orchid. Continue to farm, but you can assist your teams in ganks a little more confidently. You're good at ganking because of Skeleton Walk. You can use it to scout areas out, to set up for a gank; it's a great utility spell. Once you get your Orchid, you're ganking potential will double and you will become much more useful in teamfights. Late Game Continue roaming around with Skeleton Walk, trying to pick off over-extended enemy heroes so as to set up for a push. Your Searing Arrows will do massage damage to buildings, and with Strafe, it's even more devastating. Don't be afraid to push another lane when you have map awareness of the enemy team. If not, and you don't notice them on the map, I'd suggest probably Skeleton Walking the hell out. Also, pay attention to inventories of the Enemy Heroes, seeing if they have Dust of Appearance, or a Gem of True Sight. These items reveal stealth, and will greatly hinder your Skeleton Walk as you will have to be very careful how you use it. Also remember that towers reveal stealth. Summary Clinkz is overall a great carry that's easy to learn, fun to play, and I think he's actually kinda quirky. He needs farm to do well and is relatively item dependent, but is always a threat with skeleton walk and has potential to do many things. Try to stay in the back of teamfights and silence the right people with Orchid. Don't waste it on their Drow who is all auto attack. Use it on their Invoker so he cannot tornado and disable your team, or use it on their Lion so he cannot stun or disable. If chasing, you can use it on heroes to prevent them from using an escape mechanism of theirs Anti-Mage, Invoker, Bounty Hunter etc. I didn't much talk about his ultimate, Death Pact. If you can, use it on a neutral creep anything but ancients/magic immune, as it will make you harder to kill as well as increase your damage. If you can't be bothered to go to the jungle and a team fight is happening or impending, use it on a lane creep. I cannot emphasize how squishy Clinkz is. He is like a ****ing piece of paper. He is a carry, but he can be used to push towers as well as gank effectively. When farmed and played correctly with a good team of course, he has the potential to be a good carry. This is my first guide, it is also barebones and basic. Please leave constructive criticism not destructive, and please don't bash something I said with no reason to back it up. I added some color coordination for extra clarity, and future guides will be more in-depth as well as have corresponding video, as well as character, item, and skill code. Thank you for reading and have a great day! Contents 1 Bad against... Others Items 2 Good against... Others 3 Works well with... Others Bad against...[] Zeus can reveal Clinkz with Lightning Bolt. He is vulnerable to Zeus's magical nukes, due to his low health pool. Others[] Items[] Dust of Appearance, Gem of True Sight and Sentry Wards are very effective against Clinkz's invisibility, though he still has high movement speed while invisible. Blade Mail can deal huge damage to Clinkz and it has no way to heal himself in a fight or protect against this damage with Black King Bar. Due to his high attack speed and range, Clinkz can have 3-4 attack projectiles flying at once, which are easy to reflect with Blade Mail. If Clinkz starts to build Orchid Malevolence or Scythe of Vyse as a source of reliable disable Linken's Sphere can blocks these and allows his target to escape. Lotus Orb or Manta Style to dispel them. All of Clinkz's damage comes from his attacks. If an enemy can build high amounts of armor, such as Assault Cuirass, Clinkz becomes much less of a threat to them. Special mention goes to Shiva's Guard which also slows Clinkz's attack speed. After emerging from invisibility, items such as Force Staff and Hurricane Pike can be used to create distance between Clinkz and his target, preventing Clinkz from dealing damage. Natural counters to physical burst, including items that provide armor, Ghost Scepter or Ethereal Blade prove useful against Clinkz. Eul's Scepter of Divinity and Heaven's Halberd, while useful to mitigate Clinkz's attack output, cannot entirely protect your team from his Skeleton Archer. Good against...[] Ember Spirit's Flame Guard provides no protection against Clinkz's physical damage output. Ember Spirit's low armor and health make him easy to kill quickly if a teammate can hold him down. If Clinkz has farmed an item that can disable, he can sneak up to and hunt down Ember Spirit while he farms or split pushes alone. Nature's Prophet is often by himself. Clinkz can use invisibility to hunt him down and kill him, although a Quelling Blade may be needed to cut through his Sprout. Orchid Malevolence may also be needed if 3-4 seconds are not enough time to kill him, as he can teleport away. Clinkz can match Nature's Prophet's ability to split push. Others[] Works well with...[] Her Frost Arrows also slows enemies that aid Clinkz to attack the target more easily. She also has a strong silence, allowing Clinkz to save up his Orchid's ability. In the laning phase, Clinkz can go invisible and stand next to enemies so that Purification's damage hits them for sure, setting up a kill this way. Degen Aura's strong slow allows Clinkz to get more attacks off on enemies. Others[] Community content is available under CC BY-NC-SA unless otherwise noted. Gameplay[] Playstyle Clinkz is a great ranged carry with high offensive burst damage. Though frail and easy to kill, Skeleton Walk grants Clinkz stealth and haste to escape and re-position himself. This skill is also what makes Clinkz such an incredible ganker. His Searing Arrows provide huge bonus damage, greatly injuring enemies in conjunction with Death Pact. Despite his high damage, Clinkz has no disabling abilities, and has difficulty killing enemies once they move out of range. Pros Cons Invisible ganker. High attack damage. High farm speed. High movement speed, which makes him somewhat resistant to Dust of Appearance's slow. Good escape ability. Can steal creep abilities. Can single handedly take map control by pushing and destroying towers quickly. Bad attack animation. Low damage without Searing Arrows in the early game, which cost mana to use. Quite mana intensive. Extremely fragile. No innate disables. Quite item dependent. Quite mediocre base stats and stat growth. Countered by True Sight. Carry[] Searing Arrows helps Clinkz last hit during the early game, compensating for his slow attack animation and pathetic base damage. Skeleton Walk serves as an escape ability in the early game. One level is enough to keep yourself out of enemy vision most of the time. Death Pact's power increases significantly per level, and is Clinkz's main source of damage, so level 6, 12 and 18 are important milestones for Clinkz. Ability Builds[] Carry Clinkz 1234567891011121314151617182025 Talents[] Tips & Tactics[] General[] Abilities[] Burning Barrage[] Searing Arrows[] Skeleton Walk[] One point of Skeleton Walk is enough to ensure Clinkz' safety, however, constantly check the enemy for Dust of Appearance or Sentry Wards Use Skeleton Walk to disjoint projectiles. Use Skeleton Walk to escape ganks. Use Skeleton Walk a good amount of time before you expect to ambush an enemy, or appear in a fight. This triggers the cooldown early, therefore allowing you it again soon after, either for a quick escape or to chase down any survivors. Use Skeleton Walk before crossing commonly warded spots, such as the river, to avoid being seen coming. Avoid non-warded highgrounds if you plan to gank invisibly, as the enemy may have Sentries up the cliff. Use Skeleton Walk to chase down heroes, move between lanes, and escape from failed ganks/teamfights. With Aghanim's Shard, it creates 2 burning army skeletons, which each do 30% of your attack damage, and combined, do 60%. This damage combined with Burning Barrage and a a few items like Orchid Malevolence and Gleipnir is often enough to outright kill most supports, and can still do significant amounts of damage to carries, or force them to use Black King Bar. Death Pact[] Burning Army[] Burning Army benefits from bonus attack range, base damage, talents, and Searing Arrows. Burning Army does incredible damage, as it has 30% of Clinkz' attack damage. This means that having 4 of them already surpasses Clinkz' attack damage. Use Burning Army at the center of a fight or along the path of where enemy heroes are using to escape. Use it to disable enemy Blink Daggers. Items[] Starting items Early game Mid game Late game Situational items Butterfly provides a massive agility and attack speed bonus as well as evasion. Diffusal Blade's mana break allows Clinkz to quickly burn his target's mana while also dealing bonus damage. The active ability also grants Clinkz a slow to keep targets within range of Burning Army. Daedalus's critical multiplier massively increases Clinkz's damage output. Blink Dagger paired up with Scythe of Vyse or Nullifier may help you catch some of the most elusive heroes in the game. Consider it if your innate mobililty isn't enough. Scythe of Vyse is comparable to Orchid Malevolence; it offers less damage output but provides a stronger disable. Solar Crest enables Clinkz to shred through the enemy's armor, and to better protect himself once the active has expired. Dragon Lance helps keep enemies within range of Burning Army. It also upgrades into Hurricane Pike for some mobility and extra attributes. Eye of Skadi stacks with Searing Arrows, which allows you to chase down heroes while improving all your attributes. Linken's Sphere can enable you to roam more aggressively without fear, and gives good mana regeneration. Moon Shard will greatly increase Clinkz's raw damage output, which is useful if you're only looking to take down enemy buildings. Nullifier shuts down Glimmers, Force staffs etc., grants bonus damage, and can heavily help you kill a hero even when his supports are there to help them. Satanic grants enormous Lifesteal that synergizes nicely with Clinkz's immense damage output, giving him an edge in manfights. Aghanim's Scepter unlocks Burning Army, multiplying Clinkz's damage output in larger battles and letting him set up large hazard zones. Divine Rapier is your only option in some games, when other items aren't enough. It should be picked up for incredible damage, preferrably after a Roshan kill. Paired up with Burning Army and Multishot it can shred both enemy supports and cores. However, it is a risky investment.
