PA shadowblade?

[sleep]

shouldnt a phantom be able to dissapear and appear? why not shadowblade or silveredge?

[The_Technomancer]

She can disappear from the mini map and kind of appear and disappear with her blink.

[Metal Arms]

Blur does that, she doesn't show up on the minimap unless an enemy is nearby. She has an escape, she doesn't need the damage and she could build a silver edge if there is some kind of passive to rid of. I think stats and surviablitlty in terms of hp and armor is better, since late game a Mkb will destroy her evasion.

is silver edge good for new hero underlords passive??? also silveredge gives stats and some survive also good for initiation.

[Immaculatebacon]

If you're roleplaying then sure..
Pa doesn't need cheep survival and initiation tactics when she has good innate ones. She needs more stats and more damage.

[sleep]

silveredge gives stats damage and attack speed tho right?

also can you crit with bonus damage from silveredge?

[Tripel Coriander]

ok no shadowblade should never be built on pa, its a huge investment for soemthign she doesnt need. She already has a form of initiation. And theres no passive she would need to disable that would justify ever buying a silver edge. When you build items you need to build efficiently. If you think silver edge is good because of stats well....its not you might as well just build a manta or armlet. So to sum it up... Shadow blades are for initiation, PAs W takes care of that. Silver edges are for disabling passives, not stats, other items give you way more stats for the amount of gold it takes to make a silver edge and theres no passive that justifys spending gold on a silver edge for PA. If you want to disable someoen just build a basher into abyssal.

why would she need SE to initiate? she already has blink. a blink that gives extra attack speed on the targeted unit btw.

maybe... MAYBE! you it might work against certain heroes. guess against bristle might be useful since he can tank a lot of her hits and his passives are annoying... but I would say that it's extremely situational. not something you should rush it either in most cases if you really need it in my opinion.

underlord is a common pick now and his passive can be removed right?? so i can silver edge in on him blink in other hero ?

[lulborne]

his aura removes a % of the base damage. PA doesn't buy many stats items and go for raw damage instead. things like deso, BF, abyssal, MKB... none of these things are affected by underlord's aura.

if you buy this item as PA to counter underlord, you are not playing PA right in this match.

[sleep]

oh I dont know the difference in raw pure damage and stuff yet still 1k nooby

[sleep]

I havent played pa in a while and I usually build aquila phase vlads and deso first and bkb not sure what the build i now

I still want to try shadowblade for pa

[lulborne]

simple explanation? base damage is the damage with the white color and raw damage with the green color.
base damage increases with your main stat and raw damage come from items and I guess some auras.

there's more to it, but you should look for yourself.

don't buy silver edge as PA to counter underlord btw. it's trench and stupid.

You're already screwing up catastrophically if you are initiating fights as PA.

[sleep]

your right u should fight after initiation and other use skill first?

idk i just like shadow blade because its sneaky. but i guess no one else thinks its a good idea so maybe a different hero
