Enchantress build for dota

68

By Pumpkin head

Aiushtha is one of the stronger heroes who doesn't have to worry about skill cooldowns. She also makes for good support for practically anyone with both a heal and slowing ability. She can also gain control of creeps to complement her skills. For example, trolls can net and satyrs may purge her enemies. This enchantress item build doesn't have any real goal for the hero in mind. As in, there's no flavor or set tactic. You can play the dryad any way you want with this outline.

The first skill I choose for her is always enchant. This can be very useful in grabbing first blood if you charm the right creep. Never solo as her, you want to ambush someone from their very own forest if possible. Many people like to level up the wisps next as Aiushtha. I personally think that's a bad choice to put too many points into until later in the game. Having levels of untouchable greatly increase your survivability as well and allow you to gank enemy heroes. My enchantress dota build is one that plays offensively. If you play her defensively instead, try to find another hero who can back you up and gank with. This would be a good time to take the healing wisps (nature's attendants) instead of untouchable.

No matter what you choose, take the attributes last. Those pale in power compared to the potential of all of Aiushtha's other abilities. Always take impetus at 6 and each time afterwards. Even the newbiest enchantress build will do this, it's one of the dryad's most powerful skills.

One note about untouchable: It stacks with evasion, so you might want to grab a talisman later in the game if you're playing against mostly physical heroes. This skill is triggered when people select you in the attack position, not if they successfully hit you. You can see what I mean if you play with the ranged creeps.

The first thing I get in my dota enchantress item build is usually a little extra health. Aiushtha can shake off most physical damage with her untouchable skill, but she's not so lucky when it comes to nukes. Caster heroes like Lion and Lina make short work on her. I grab a pair of boots with dota starter gold, and a vitality booster or point booster when I've eaten some creeps.

These boosters will eventually become a bloodstone. The rest of the items it makes no difference in the order you purchase them... grab whichever you want for the dryad when it makes the most sense. Using a bloodstone in this item build for enchantress lets you keep impetus on auto-cast once you've got a few charges. However, if you don't think you'd get any bloodstone charges, you might want an item like a Guinsoo or Orchid. These disabling artifacts are usually my secondary choice, either one works well. The orchid malevolence has great synergy with impetus due to the improved attack speed.

That's pretty much all there is to this enchantress dota build. Any other items are up to you! You generally won't need more than this unless you're playing an em game where everyone has a ton of gold.
