This is my third guide. Now I'll show you how to use Rikimaru in my own style. Again, take note that this guide does not show you how to play Rikimaru professionally, it shows you some tips and tricks on how to play Rikimaru in my personal way. This guide is strictly for PUBS, not in competitive games. For those people who red my Barathrum Guide "Mother Earth Guide Me" and my Lina Guide "Click me baby, One more time", I want to thank you for reading it.  By the way my original Lina Guide was deleted because 1/2 of its content wasn't saved because my DSL crashed!  So I decided to make this as its "Reincarnation". No offending comments or insults in this guide; otherwise, I'll add you in my ignore list. Ok then, let's begin.... |
II. Hero Introduction and StoryBack to Table of Contents
The Stealth Assassin's ultimate allows him to passively regain Invisibility after an attack or using an ability. He could be anywhere, at any time, and therein lies his strength. His preferred attack is obviously to Backstab someone, inflicting greater damage as he grows more agile. He can also Blink Strike towards his enemies to quickly get in range of attack, making it even harder to escape or catch him. Once he decides to reveal himself, Rikimaru can unleash a Smoke Screen in a moderate area, which gradually expands, silencing anyone inside, slowing them down, and causing them to miss. Only a fool would continue fighting while blind, deaf and dumb, but Assassins have no room for remorse.

(+)High Armor and Agility Gain. (+)Has one of the best ambush/escape mechanisms in the game. (+)Excellent Last-Hitting animation which makes last-hitting creeps a piece of cake. (+)Can deal more damage with his Backstab ability when attacking from behind of course. (+)Can easily scout anywhere in the map thanks to his Permanent Invisiblity. (+)One of the best carries in the game. (+)The rest are for you to state them. |
IV. When(not) to pick RikimaruBack to Table of Contents
1). Your team is full of disablers. 2). The enemy team is full of carries. 3). The enemy team has less or no silencers and disablers. 4). Your team needs a scout. 5). You're Lucky. 6). You're a good farmer. |
V. Skills and its UsageBack to Table of Contents
I don't want to copy the statistics of Rikimaru's Skills. If you want to know the statistics about his skills, click here.
Smoke Screen
Throws a smoke bomb down in the area, silencing opponents and causing them to miss on most of their attacks. Also slows by 25% at all levels. Notes: - Does not silence castable items. This is your silence skill. This is very useful in making spellcasters shut the fuck up, slowing down enemies and causing physical attacks to miss by chance which is definitely worth it (the miss chance can be countered by MKB). Place your smoke screen carefully behind enemies then, along with your Backstab Ability, attack the enemy to death from behind. Backstabbing enemies while under your smoke screen is better if you have a Diffusal Blade, a Sange and Yasha and an Abyssal Blade to prevent the enemy from escaping your smoke screen area of effect. Here's an example: |
VI. Skill Build and Item BuildBack to Table of Contents
Skill Build: Level 1: Blink Strike(1) Level 2: Smoke Screen(1) Level 3: Backstab(1) Level 4: Blink Strike(2) Level 5: Blink Strike(3) Level 6: Permanent Invisibility(1) Level 7: Blink Strike(4) Level 8: Backstab(2) Level 9: Backstab(3) Level 10: Backstab(4) Level 11: Permanent Invisibility(2) Level 12: Smoke Screen(2) Level 13: Smoke Screen(3) Level 14: Smoke Screen(4) Level 15: Stats(1) Level 16: Permanent Invisibility(3) Level 17-25: Stats(2-10) Explanation: This is my personal skill build for Rikimaru. We need to maximize Blink Strike and Backstab first since these two skills are the key to a better kill than Smoke Screen but just get at least one level of Smoke Screen early game during laning phase then maximize it later. Maximize your ultimate and your stats when you reach level 16 and above.     Explanation: These are my personal starting items. You're going to need 2 branches for some stats and to upgrade it into a Magic Wand, 2 Slippers for some extra damage and to convert it into a Poor Man's Shield and lastly, some consumable items to recover from received damage while laning. |
VII. Game StrategyBack to Table of Contents
In Early Game you're not as effective as you look right now since you're a late gamer and you're dangerous late game. Buy your starting items then go to your respective lane. If you're laning, better ask someone from your team to babysit you since you have little lane control whatsoever but when you have a strong laner (Huskar,Vengeful, etc), better participate in their harassments and battles. Since you need a smoke to survive laning phase, better use it in your lane partner's advantages and strategies. Take only top or bottom lane; do not pick the middle lane since you're not a mid solo hero. Farm as many creeps as possible and try to avoid any harassment from the enemy in your lane. If you're having a hard time laning against an enemy, don't be shy to call for a lane switch or gank. Once you reach level 6, laning will be easy for you since you have permament invisibility. When you have half of your core, better scout for some ganks. ALWAYS check your enemies' items every time in the game because you may never know if they have true sight to counter you. If you see any of your enemies holding true sight items, avoid them and ask help from your teammates. I have an example here of a laning phase battle and I'll show you why smoke screen is important to get during laning phase: |
VIII. Hero Synergy and CountersBack to Table of Contents
Disablers/Stunners:        They hold down the enemy in place while you start hitting them and send them back to their fountain. They are frenemies. Homies on our side, homo on the other side. Babysitters:       They ensure your security and safety. Since your a carry, someone needs to look after you. DPS Amplifiers:      Your going to love them since they amplify your DPS. Who doesn't love them? The Invisible Gang:
