DotA Anti Mage guide

Ranked #4,708 in Games, #202,983 overall

You can run from him, but he'll always be able to chase you. You can cast spells, but he can use your spent energies against you. You can hide... and that is the only way to win against this hero when he is fed unless working as a team.

Character type: Agility. Team affilation: Sentinel.

Which do you usually buy when playing as him? I tend to go as an agility carry and buy dps items. Anything increases attack speed really helps early on with mana break. If you don't know, that skill does extra damage and reduces enemy mana with every hit.

Are you scared of the anti mage as a wizard or nuker?

I'd run but he can blink!

No, Magina is just another DotA hero

Oliver says:

No, I'm scared of him as DPS hero, and a ganker. Any int hero trying to solo is in for a hard time. Grab butterfly and add 30% evasion to the fact that he just blinks away before he's killed and he's nigh unkillable.

e says:

anti mage is shit

kebib says:

yeah, there's no escape our spell do hardly damage to him
best thing to do stay at your tower

 

Tale of the hero

Twin sons to the great Prophet, Terrorblade and Magina were blessed with divine powers: Terrorblade granted with an unnatural affinity with life forces; Magina gifted with energy manipulation. Magina the Anti-Mage's eventual overexposure to the magics gradually augmented his elemental resistances and bestowed him the unique ability to move faster than light itself. Now, broken by Terrorblade's fall to the dark side, Magina the Antimage answers the Sentinel's call in a desperate bid to redeem his brother. Every bitter strike turns the Scourge's evil essences upon themselves, culminating in a finale that forces his enemy to awaken to the void within and spontaneously implode.

I love anti mage. He's an easy way to get back at all those nuking heroes you might not like who harass people at the start of the game.
