Dota 2 fastest rapier loom

General DiscussionBest Rapier holder?

Who is it? I want to say sniper cause I saw sniper with it ALOT in 6.83 cause of that late game meta, but is there someone else? Also cause he has insane range, and if you have nothing to close the distance between you and him, most likely he’s just gonna kite you and fire from safety.

kunkka and ember cz in certain picks they are just unkillable
medusa cz there is no better 6 slot, and at this point u r alrdy immortal

dusa, no contest

Wraith king if you’re not retarded xD

Medusa kunkka gyro ember, anything that cleaves/aoe.

sven also has cleave, but hes an awful rapier holder

Me. I’m back bitches

Oh, okay thanks, nice.

Theoretically there is better rapier holdersfor sure however for my playstyle and hero pool I have most success with wraith king rapier , that second life and dem crits doe

wraith king suck at it, you just get kitted all game long.

You’d need cuirasse or you’re not gonna tank enough even with 2 life.
You need mkb for the evasion
You need dag/shadow blade . to not be kited all game long
You need bkb to actually hit
and now, what’s left? well mb rapier, but will you actually kill your enemy during your own very dodgeable stun? or do you actually need something call basher/abyssal? – ofc If your team has tons of disable, rapier will feet there-.

But that’s not like medusa who can build rapier no matter what (but a nyx in opponent team) or ember who can build it no matter what. Even gyro has more easy use of it, cause he just need not to be osed, so basically that som1 in his team comes in fight before him.

“or ember who can build it no matter what”

Good luck picking up rapier as ember, if there’s legion on the other team.

A snowballed Drow Ranger – Very risky though

medusa
ember
sniper if defending high ground in base
gyro if last ditch comeback

that’s it. Everyone else is a liability

kunkka’s not really a liability with blink + X marks

Luna witha satanic,

Any hero that’s not actually tanky as fuck is a liability. Even mobile heroes can be locked down and bursted if they build no survivability, and thus lose the rapier. This includes ember, kunkka (with good itemization) and similar heroes. Gyro’s a bit better as you want butterfly and satanic on him, so it’s a bit better, but sniper? Fuck no. Kunkka? Too risky as he’s probably glass canon. Ember? Only if they don’t have lockdown/burst heroes. Medusa? Well, you need to build the team around her defense, so she can get one eventually. It’s the least risky option, especially coupled with an aegis. WK? Can work if you’re leading. If you’re behind, what happens is you and your team both die, and they kill you another X times (2 or 3 with aegis). With medusa it’s a bit more tricky because of her multitarget nature, and because she’s going to build to be tanky as all fuck, so even if you kite her she’s still likely to do tons of multi target damage that can’t be ignored that easily.
