One of the best assassins in Dota 2 is Clinkz. Hero guide

In the last patch, Wedge's first skill was replaced with Burning Barrage, which closed the hero's disadvantages in the form of slow farming and difficult lanes, now this hero has become even stronger. The hero even began to appear more and more on the pro scene, where experienced players showed the full strength of this hero in the current patch. Clinkz has always been a good ganker and a hero who is well suited for playing solo, now he has become even stronger after the patch.

Pros of the hero

• There is an escape in the form of inviz

• Good dexterity gain
  

Cons of the hero

• One of the worst starting damage in the game

Capabilities

1.Burning Barrage

Interrupted. The hero fires a volley of arrows (3/4/5/6) in the selected direction. They fly through all enemies in their path, dealing 60% of their normal damage and applying attack effects.

2.Searing Arrows

Fire arrows that deal additional damage.

3.Skeleton Walk

Clinkz moves stealthily through units until he strikes.

Upgrade from Aghanim's Shard: Upon exiting invisibility, creates two skeletons from the Burning Army ability next to the hero. Increases additional movement speed by 30% and allows you to exceed the maximum speed.

4. Death Pact

The hero absorbs a creature or skeleton, from which he receives a bonus to health and damage.

With the purchase of an aghanim, the hero gets one more ability- Burning Army:

The hero summons an army of fiery skeleton archers. Archers are immobile and die from 2 hero attacks. Skeletons use their current level Searing Arrows ability and only attack heroes. Their base damage is equal to 30% of your hero's base damage. Their attack range is equal to your hero's attack range.

At the beginning of the game, we must put a lot of emphasis on the lane, for this it is worth taking the first and second skills, which will help us to further increase the speed of farming.

Items

After changing the first ability, with the first slot, we need to buy Maelstrom as quickly as possible in order to farm faster. Then you should buy Dragon Lance, this item, in addition to attack, will increase the range of the first skill.

After these basic things, the choice of the build is situational, depending on which heroes are playing against us. More often than not, sooner or later we will have to buy a BKB. Many high-ranking players are grading Maelstrom in Gleipnir. And the approximate assembly looks like this:

Game actions

If you are on the safe lane, then it will always be joyful to see a support with control next to you.

In terms of the game, the illusionists give us the most problems, although we can oppose something with the first skill, but the games against them are always difficult.

An over-farmed Clinkz can quickly erase a dense target. However, Clinkz is most effective against skinny heroes with little armor.

Outcome

Clinkz is a fairly simple hero. All his skills are clear and easy to use. You just need to learn how to correctly assess the situation, farm quickly and be able to quickly use artifacts and skills. If everything is done correctly, then by the middle of the game you can kill the enemy several times or help your allies gain an advantage. Of course, Clinkz is not an ideal carry hero and it will be difficult for him against certain enemies, but nevertheless, the hero is excellent and deserves attention.
