So everyone has once in a while or many times picked this certain one hero who everyone hates the guts out of ... and his name is Rikimaru The Stealth Assassin.
Riki is one of those heroes when if you become really fed you wont have a hard time lossing against the enemy team ( that is unless they gank you and use dust instantly then your gona be quite in the pickle ).
So let me introduce you to Riki,
Riki is a Agility-Strenght class if played correctly could be the enemy teams worst nightmare, hes powerfull early game but deadly mid game so follow these rules if you want to play with riki in a difrent style than before.

Core Items

The Following items are gona be needed if you want to be a Stealth Born Killing Machine.


• Desolator ( Will be one of the usefull items you build, one of the reasons beacuse it will lower the enemies armor and it will be alot easier to kill them )
  
• Skull Basher ( Will stun the enemies alot of times and will make the killing really easy )
  
• Sange and Yasha ( Gives alot of Agility and alot of Strenght will be usefull against powerfull targets )
  +
  
• Blink Dagger ( For a bonus you can buy a Blink Dagger if you want to be one of those greedy sons of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and want to get that low HP guy but dont have any blinks left )
  
  The Core items will help alot in killing people they are one of the most powerfull things i have used when playing Riki.
  Well these items are gona earn you even more gold from killing those enemies and you will use that gold to make the following items.

Situational Items

The Following items that will be listed are gona help you alot in your journey of killing people :

• Heart of Tarrasque ( Will help in terms of regenerating your health while invisible and making you look fierce in the eyes of your oponent )
  
• Abyssal Blade ( Joining its soul-mate The Skull Basher will be the Sacred Relic in order to form the Abyssal Blade, the blade which will stun your enemies a tousand times and plus give you extra damage to finish em off quick )
  
• Butterfly ( Giving yourself and extra pack of agility will be usefull if you want to finish off your enemies quick so i sugest you buy yourself a Butterfly in order to make the job easy )
  +
  
• Dagon ( As for an extra you could buy yourself a dagon to finish off any enemies from long range to secure a safe kill, be sure to upgrade the dagon to max level it will come in handy )
  
  Thats for the Item build the items i mentioned might very well help you in your journey to being a proper stealth killing machine. Be sure to play with Riki in a safe way not in a Berzerker way cuz if you will do that you will most likely die alot and wont be as powerfull as you must be, keep in mind riki is a strenght-agility-stealth class so be as stealthy as possible and dont let your enemies see you at all costs.
