How to win with Lifestealer in General Discussion
Snu

    I need some help with this hero. It seems that no matter what kind of lead I get, I can't win with this hero.
    Builds and tips are welcome! Flames are also welcome, so long as they are creative.

      First step is max E first, not your free bkb

        Max stats. Pick it over skills

            radi cost u on typical ns lategame. better make pure hitter build : phase, sny, deso, ac, then conditional : travel/taras/mkb/bfly/satanic

              I tried different builds but I think that the one with most impact was this: phase, armlet, silver edge, desolator, AC, abyssal. a magic wand also helps early-mid. Radiance is nice, but I don't like it that much.

                Also your skillbuild is fine.

                  @Mocha Bloke, I feel as though the skill build is more situational, I maxed free BKB first because I was up against a pretty heavy magic damage team.
                  Thanks for the tips Uber and Luxon.
                  Last game, I got the radiance to help farm a bit, and I was able to survive quite a bit to get in alot of damage. Also was lucky enough to find a few Rock Ancients to help my team initiate with. Can never seem to wrap the games up though.

                    @Elduryb
                    I see your point, but 3 seconds free bkb in early game is enough, with your E at level 1 for so long you missed out on plenty of necros pick offs it seems since he was the most fed on the enemy side that game.
                    And instead of radiance you should have gone bkb, linkins is great here cuz of the pug and necros

                      Don't max E, Rage is important, you should max it by 8, get two in E and one in W. Know the limits of the hero well. Open Wounds gives HUGE lifesteal, it's insane how much HP you can get and even kill a person 1v5. Don't get Radiance. If you want to get Radiance, play as a 3 role and get aura items.

                        offlane radiance ls kinda sucks cz u cant infest the creeps u want to infest untill u hit lvl11

                          Do you even get your Radiance before level 11 though?

                          TripleSteal-

                            no, but u r supposed to run around and fuck ppl with dragon or golem untill then, and not just afk jungle. its hard to have impact as naked lifestealer that cant even get a creep.

                              You can still easily gank or farm like an LD does.

                              TripleSteal-

                                LD is better in being LD than naix.
                                idk to me it seems like the hero fell off completely as an offlaner after the 6.87 patch.

                                  Even when I go offlane, I don't go Radiance anyway. The hero is pretty good against most dual lanes, and can just go jungle instead against trilanes.
