General DiscussionAlchemist radiance mid

I still don't get the wanna be Naga Alchemist players that goes Radiance with Octrine aside with Manta, I get the Radiance part, but the other two, could of spent 10000 on like Blink Dagger, SnY, and maybe a basher for more output damage

*cough cough*

cus one pro or someone did it and won the game in like 22 mins with push build so everyone thinks it's good. I think battlefury is a ton better on alch, he gets amazing bat with ult.

Battlefury isn't that good really. Radiance is slightly better than fury because he clears creeps slightly faster that way compared to relying on his cleave damage, where he barely even has any natural dps to start with. I'd rather go mjolnir with that, since he scales best with atkspd

I like the Radiance - ACuirass / BKB - Moonshard / Mjolnir - MKB. His attack speed with MKB is ridiculous.
One game, I screwed around and went Daedalus and Rapier. Fun.
I think BF would be great for farming even after the radiance. Especially if you want to give your whole team Aghanims.

@elduryb back when there was no moonshard I'd go 5 mjolnirs. Even went toe-to-toe vs a 6 slot AM with 2 mjolnirs, cuirass, mkb, bkb and bot.

alchemist radiance mid has 53% winrate

Radiance is ok in some situations but please don't go the full naga push build with alch

???

manta octa isn't necessarily for going push lmao what

manta synergises with radiance for increased farm if you can micro a tiny bit and octa increases your survivability a lot in fights thanks to the spellsteal + increases uptime of your ultimate

u can still play a fighter style alch with this build once u get a cuirass or smth
