    Buy an iron talon on AM it's +24 damage for 500 gold that stacks with qb and gives you armour.

    dead

      ok

        yep, total +48 damage and 2 tree cutters make farming so fucking ridiculously fast, i recently went from having only boots + iron talon + perserverance + qb in 13 min due to a bad lane, to having 6 slots in 30 on a game.

        it sounds so stupid on paper, but it's so goddamn legit.

        +48 is A LOT OF DAMAGE

          i mean it does sound absolutely ridiculous on paper. question is, is using that 500 gold for the talon better than just saving it for battlefury

          dead

            in the long run, that 500 gold is an investment for faster farming potential

              someone made a qb+talon thread lately. did you get the idea from him?

                how do u maintain such a disgusting winrate. have u stopped solo?

                🍩🍪Cookie🍪🍩

                  anyone above 6k can inflate his winrate to whatever the fuck he wants by playing party or unranked

                  CUTNPASTE

                    I think my AM winrate in ranked is 62% or something so I am a bit inflated by party unranked but not as bad as others I see, I still have more ranked games than unranked with the hero. The hero has been weak recently so I haven't been picking it that much but after 7.03 changes it tentatively seems at least as good as it was in 6.88. I'll probably be spamming it soon enough if I can get some mag pickers on my team.

                    I've known talon+qb stacks for a while but I treated it like a meme strat for when I randomed bloodseeker jungle until I saw Envy do it in a game and I immediately realised it was genius.

                      i saw EE doing this on am

                      🍩🍪Cookie🍪🍩

                        then you could pretty much just skip the bfury and go straight manta/vlads/basher

                        i mean antimage with 20 min manta vlad basher is quite scarier than a 30 minute one.

                          I've always been skeptical of no BF builds as they ALWAYS lack mana regen, and AM with no mana regen is really sad. Perhaps if I had cm as well but at that point I'm getting 2 heroes to make a build viable.

                            wait a second, this post is not trolling but a real advice?? 0_o

                              i used basi>vlads + raindrop, gives a lot of regen.

                              and even lets you join fights reliably

                              not perfect, but lets you run around for 1-2 jungle clears at a very fast speed and then go shrine in base

                                It's a decent amount of mana regen but then you have treads+vlad+raindrop+scroll+qb+pms you are already out of item slots. Also I fight as AM anyway once I have my treads BF it's why I'm better at the hero than most.

                                  can u stack qb+irontalon+bfury?

                                    well fighting am is good, but at the cost of waveclear tower pressuring am

                                    🍩🍪Cookie🍪🍩

                                      the thing is , bfury is no longer 12-14 min, more like 13-15 min now due to creep nerf and passive gold nerf. so that might be an issue.

                                        :thinking: Talon and BF new meta?

                                        CUTNPASTE

                                          If qb stacks with BF that could be a cheap option if you just rushed BF in a free lane and want some cheap farm acceleration. Main reason I like talon is that it accelerates your BF and makes early jungling a bit faster/more stable.

                                            It stacks but it doesn't stack too. The effects stack, you get the +24 from qb and the +24 from iron talon, and the 60% bonus from battle fury. But battlefury is percent and only affects base dmg/attribute dmg while the quelling effects on qb and iron talon are raw dmg so they won't be increased.

                                            So yes, you could upgrade to battlefury and then buy another qb for +24 more dmg but it would not be increased by 60% battlefury buff.

                                                  @therealcutnpaste i made the same fuckin thread and said going qb and iron talon on heroes with good AS (i said for jugg) will increase farming speed and db dicks started telling me I should not get it useless af :thinking:

                                                    Now I think I should try talon,qb to bf and mael..scary farming lul, And team fight!!
