Well played!
U started with 7 lives?
U also might wanna give the orchid upgrades a shot - probably replace scythe of decay with it (lifestealer doesnt do any magic damage, amiright?!).
His ultimate, afaik, scales with spell amp and can do the magic crits. Means more healing and damage ofc.
He was, is and probably will be one of the hottest solo heroes in this mod! :-)

I played orchid lifestealer some version ago and it was working fine. Dont forget, you get the magic crits aswell!
Talking about builds, i think it is also an idea to incorporate the range items.
Lifestealer is one of the very few heros that doesnt tank by having huge defense stats, but mostly because of his insane lifeleech from the ulti and his W.
Having range means you dont have to worry about downtime of your lifeleech (although blink boots somewhat solve the same issue).

Im also an avid solo player for this mod. Somewhere in the depths of this forum, i think there are still posts from about a year ago where i soloed with lifestealer aswell.
Nice to see there are other people with this passion! :-)

Leshrac is extremely doable as well due to his passive that converts 1.25% of his damage to pure dmg per level.

I usually combine this with the two damage aura items...whatever they're called. The max SNY upgrade and the Fire boots -- and I can confirm that both are converted to pure damage with his passive, but I don't think they scale with spelldmg%. Still, the Blood-cursed sword gives high evasion, decent agi->armor, gives enemies a miss chance, raises your HP per strength, slows enemies move speed in the aura, disables HP regen, *and* caps your run speed, while the flamestompers (or whatever their name is) give you fantastic armor, a -armor aura that (if you're not soloing, stacks with other -armor auras), a massive heal on a 15s cd, and infinite-duration magic immunity.

Other than that, obvious caster items apply. Octarine and int rings, aghs. So his slots are oct, dagon, SNY, fireboots, blink boots, and I haven't decided what's best in slot 6 -- I usually grab more survivability, either heart or plate, but other options are totally valid too here.

His weakest points are the pre-NG+ dragons which may melt him faster than he can melt them depending on item build order and how risky you've been being with midas cumulative interest, and the NG+ shadow demon, because at level 70 he's dealing 87% pure damage, which SD is immune to, and I don't generally buy -MR items, because they only work on such a small percentage of lesh's lategame damage.

A little guessing game on what Heroes could be viable aswell:

-Doombringer should work, though he probably needs a lot of patience since his ultimate (preferable upgraded by aghs) might be his only way on certain rounds.
-Stormspirit could be an options, since he can kite forever and has very stable damage aswell.
-Spectre used to be a very solid solo champ ages ago, since his ultimate basicly means that if you can survive at all, at some point you will kill the boss! (shadowdemon excluded though)

I probably forget a lot here, but those come to my mind.

@chaos :
Doom : i dont think doom can solo anymore, cause his ult has limited time even with agh that was his only outstanding why he can soloing, and octarine build +d.armor may set back his dps items, without his dps items he wont deal a chunk dps while on Doom duration.
Spectre : she wont make it, she was great with dodge in the old time to tanking on early the game, but now its seem dodge are worthless like invisible skills/items except smoke. she just so paper. even she can spam her Q on early game with octarine but now we cant farm midas per hits so she might fail vs over buffs bosses.

Dooms Damage early game damage comes mostly from his W skill, his lategame damage comes from his E skill. I would Argue that Dooms E skill is one of if not THE best single target damage skill in the game right now.
The big benefit of his ulti is that it breaks boss passives and is, afaik, one of the few ways to make them not cast their spells, like the meteor for example.
Doom requires A LOT of patience when soloing, but it should be possible.

But yea, spec would be probably a lot harder. There is still a thing that i mentioned some time ago that hasnt been fully exploited i feel.
Lifesteal now scales with hitpoints - that means that tanks that would be self sustained through lifesteal (i count spec as one) should profit a lot from it.
I might do some testing. :-)

Been test both of em.doom his w are longer cd then its used to be.i dont make it to pass nyx round. Been throw a lot lives on lc.drow.and some on dp.And spec...she falling before it.xd. however during this test i have some delay on respons so i do get kill while kiting.could be better but im give up on nyx.they meld me in seconds.

Just soloed impossible champion with doom on first try.
He is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken! =)
I had like 50k midas gold when i reached ng+! Midas money mind you, not even counting his Gold from Q. I was basicly 6 slotted at that point!
First 2/3 of NG+, i was kiliing everything in seconds with just the burn from the super SnY!

I actually wasnt even aware how good those magic immunity boots where til this game (first time i ever bought them!)

And no, i didnt cheat and i didnt abuse doom q - i just played it straight through.

I lost my 5th live on Nyx but in doing so, i was able to afford the "perma magic immune" boots.

My early game build was octarine2+tranquil -> upgrade tranquils.
You can stay very comfortable on oct2 and super tranquil and get shoemoneys and then oct3 and either orchid2 or aghs (still not decided what would be better - leaning more towards orch2)

Games a joke from there on tbh! :-)

Im starting my doombringer solo epic run know - wish me good look with the rng on bosses passives guys!

GL HF))

Died at the ogre round (first round after golem).
Amplify damage owned me! :(

I think it is possible, but depends a lot on luck with rounds and passives and mostly - patience ... i died way to much in early game.
I gotta admit - doom profits so much from making money with q though, its borderline cheating!
Gotta try again soon! :-)
What servers you playin on Full? Maybe we can get some 5 man inhouse games for impossible epic runs?
