Radiance-One item to carry them all?

Radiance-One item to carry them all?

Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:11 am

Hi guys. Here i would like to share my thoughts on radiance. When you hear radiance you probably think of a carry item that is to be bought fast or not at all. But i think differently. Could it be used as a second, third, or even luxury item? Could it be used on non-carry heroes? Of course.Radiance is usually bought within 25-35 minutes on these carry heroes.
Juggernaut,Rikkimaru,Terrorblade,Weaver,Dragon knight, Dirge,Razor, phantom lancer, and leoric.

It is also used on these non carry heroes.
Ish~kafel- Works well with ionic shell and surge.
Bradwarden- Works well with return and your high hp, see if they can tank through return and immolation while attempting to take our 4000 hp down.
Pit lord- Works well with firestorm and pit of malice, adds to your farm skill.

Is there more heroes who can use this item well?Yes, many many more... IT works well with almost all combos, and is good for team battles. Usually one radiance user per team every game, and this is often the carry. The radiance user is trusted to own in leagues. And if it is not achieved under 35 minutes is considered useless.

I see a future where the leading radiance users are heroes like lion, sand king, and leshrac.
Imagine 8 seconds of disable+immolation and finger of death...
10 pulses of 145 damage...
200 AOE damage per second...

The possibilities are endless and are being discovered day by day. And as this item grows more and more popular more heroes will use it.

Radiance can actually be still effective on Spectre even if its not rushed. EG, get diffusal + PT + Wraiths then Radiance...

I would have to say Radiance is usually for the Tank, not the carry hero. Since the tank is in the battle first and can survive for longer, the radiance will do more immolation damage.

And yeah, while radiance might be decent on some int heroes, other int items (like shivas and dagon) are much better are allow for more powerful combos

But radiance gives more than shivas and dagon. Imagine this. Lion has guinsoos BoT and radiance.Stun, attack hex attack a couple more times, hex again and attack some more, chase for a second then stun, attack, hex and attack.

The whole time, radiance is burning them.Sssssss. Plus your damage is actually pretty good.

I like the idea of Witch Doc doing RAD but only very late game after his core items. help with stun and maledic

Its actually quite bad . Firstly, getting a late radiance on a hero with isnt meant to farm is quite bad, because radiance sort of lose effectiveness later. Even getting an AC on him will be more effective, since it amplifies wards damage on all 2/3 targets.



Huh? it got nth to do with that. Because while channeling, you cant attack, so 60 damage ins wasted. Its actually for heroes who will be in the battle for long, eg chasers, tankers..

My friend got Radiance on Spectre and ... I HOPE it was accidental but he mowed someone with a Haunt Illusion's Radiance (the thing was I was going to catch up T_T).

Radiance on Weaver... Radiance on Dark Seer... uhhh not a huge amount of really good ones.
