Silver Edge vs heroes like Bristleback....
How am I supposed to play Bristleback when Silver edge is in the game?


Bristleback is a WEAK strength hero that relies on his passive to be tanky. Silver edge is a strong utility item that also completely removes Bristlebacks tankyness and makes him a soft target.


Every game has AT LEAST 1 hero that can buy a silver edge, so how is Bristleback supposed to win ever?

You can buy guardian greaves and dispell that effect, or eul, or bkb.

Don't forget that there was diffusal to kill warlock golems, or manaburn making wk useless even in lategame.
Buy radiance, octarine core :D
Or just disengage. I know it sucks as carry, but it is good.

WK gets free ulti at lvl 25 right? A warlock golem is basically a push tool which should have some counters.


Bristleback as a hero is just unplayable these daysl

You can say the same about phantom assassin, silver edge removes her ulti and blur, or any other hero with strong passives like huskar.

Best way is to uninstall and be happy, I did and now I don't stay awake at night worrying about countering silver edge as a BB

Must be nice to only play invoker, legion commander, slark or tinker like everyone else does. Or are you shadow fiend mid?

Not really :P Phantom Assassin is always a weak agi carry, with or without passives.


Bristleback needs his passive for offense and defense. Its the whole hero.

Buy an eul's or ghost scepter and just use them to wait out the silver edge debuff.
