Assault Cuirass

Finally HYPERSTONE Was Used In A Recipe ! Great Item For The Troll Warlord And Faceless Void

nice...as... but icon is bad... you dont see clear...

I'll use this for my DPS heroes. looks fun. :D

Which heroes do the most appropiate to this item?

dragonknight,naix,centaur, the usual tankers
and heros with -armour skills

Great item for Meepo..

nono you all forgot about TINY!!!! Armour for his pathetic base armour and his ridiculously slow aspd

-5 aura? sa enemy b?

try using this with desolator

i would say the most imbalanced of the new items. 55% attack speed, 15% of that an aura. extra armour, + armour, + armour aura, - armour aura...

sure, its kinda expensive, but along with vladmirs you already have one nasty hero...

nice to see a hyperstone in a recipe though. i was hoping for hypers to just keep combining though, until say level 5.

shmeh, this shall be used by me for sure.

Darn! cool but deadly!

i just finished a game usin this on dragon knight
OWNNNSSSSSS 2MUCH
his had like 70% damage reduction at lvl 17

finally a nice more expensive item for meepo thats trly imba!!!

Amazing for shadow fiend along with desolator.. kicks so much ass.

why does it give only 40% attack speed if hyperstone gives 50%?

Good looking item with great looking auras to go around but it's price balances its strengths. And the reason only gives 40% Attack Speed is because there's already a 15% ASPD Aura so in reality, it gives 55% ASPD. I'll definitely be wanting to use this.

Great item for tanker heroes, like Sven, Centaur, and Tiny!

the icon just like plate armor in heroes armageddon III.

it seems the ASA and AS stacks right? correct me if i'm wrong, I know the +5 Armor aura doesn't

Great For Perma Bashers !

WOOT AWSOME! auras rock!

too good, any hero will benefit from this. it is an expensive build though

nice item.... i will try this with boneclinks...XD

good idea to use with bone

good for tiny

noo too imba!!!!!! I tride with mepo... omg...

this item is gonna screw over most hero builds. Any time someone buys this, you pretty much have to get either desolator to counter or get one of these yourself.

This owns on Image heroes(siren and chaos knight in particular), Sladar, and meepo.

this is gonna get nerfed... no doubt

this with pl is like WTF OMG

so what attribute on this item stacks with itself?

hmmm... if this item was made in dream items section... definetely, some would say its imba... oh well...

Holy shit! A great item for a reasonable price!

HOLY CRAP THAT IS FREAKEN CHEAP FOR +10 Armor
+5 Armor Aura
-5 Armor Aura
+40% Attack Speed
+15% Attack Speed Aura

This item is seriously imba. If one hero on the other team gets it first and you haven't started farming it, you just lost the game.
It's a game breaker

Choas knight(asault Cuirass,2 blade mails and power tread) owned my Beastmaster(HoT, Sange and Yasha, Buriza) without using his images.

nice....dio è una merda,,,,,,, che porcodelcazzo

Slardar's ulti, plus desolator, plus this = slaughter. I tried it out and nothing survived.

good for heroes who lacks IAS, and armor. finally an item of raw armor and attack speed. A lil bit expensive thought.

amazing item for agility heroes or any hero with bash/crit strike. expecially good on void, warlord, and sk.

Does anyone know if the minus armor stacks with desolator?

nice item... -5 armor aura?! It's like having an AOE desolator that is not orb effect... Great item for heroes with orb effect passive skills [i recently used it on Ursa Warrior], on tiny as well. Hyperstone is worth buying now.

Beautifullllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing on Juggernaut as his 3rd or 4th item... makes him (more) unstoppable.

COOL!!!
This is owesome.
With this, tiny get back his attack speed!
But, does the -5 armor aura stack with Never more aura?
Does the -5 armor aura stack with desolator?
if both yes, GOSH! -15 armor!
Equip Slardar with this, he don't need perma stun anymore XD

Mortred
Assault Cuirass
Power Threads
Eye of Skadi
Some serious ass whoopin!

This ones for meepo for sure

Great for Nevermore !!!

economical item !!!!!!!
thos item is good for heroes with bash effects !!!!
woooooohhhhh !!!!! GODLIKE !!!

Also really good for Drow Ranger & Clinx!

Drow Ranger was Godlike :).

anyone who can clone or has natural reduce armour skills = PURE OWNAGE = HOLY SHIT!

In the pubs I've been playing EVERYONE gets this item. Kinda annoying, actually...it's as if not getting this loses the game for you.

If both your team and the enemy team gets this item, you spent 6.5k on +10 armor and +55% attack speed (blah). The items in the recipe don't have alot of uses throughout the game (midgame, armor means nothing against deadly intel). Easily counterable by spending 1.4k on a platemail. As far as meepo is concerned, Anyone who buys this instead of 2 Messerschimidts (50 str = almost 1k hp for main, 400 hp for each clone) is retarded.

Furthermore, against AGI heroes the -5 aura isn't necissarily all that hot. I'd say this pails in comparison to stygian desolator, since stygian adds 60 damage with -6 armor.

Neat item, just make sure only 1 person on your team gets it or you'll be lacking serious damage.

Also note that mekanism is a good counter to this item as well.

this is item is really great for AXE, armor hero plus +15armor, -5armoraura, and ASP+counter helix OMG! i tried this with axe no one wants to go near me

i agree with rain, this item is just used against melee or non nuker/intel heroes.

this thing on Nevermore is sure killer!!

this thing on Nevermore is sure killer!!

i tried the item a couple of times and i must say that i am a bit disappointed, i like butterfly much more now, it is cheaper and in the end it is just a better item becasue when u have a lot that extra 10-20 armor just doesnt help that much, on the other hand, the 30% evasion from butterfly, well that sure is something, than try to have 2x butterfly (that means 50% evade) lets say on juggernaut, thats way cooler than 1 butterfly and 1 curias, try it out if u dont believe

so hard to get this item. great substute for butterfly

this thing rocks!! i usually use this for str heroes

helll yeaa this is the shiet for TINY because of his ridiculous base armor and attack speed.

This is madness!! Powerful strength heroes just hav to buy this item n become unstoppable...especially fast strength heroes like Saladar n Chaos Knight.. More gud news 4 Lucifer after Ahganims Scepter usability. Tiny will surely buy this item...I think I can pawn more than one Roshan!!

just like are's soul...

ovdjekokos- i think the effect of evasion of the 2 butterfly will stack right??

ovdjekokos- i think the effect of evasion of the 2 butterfly will stack right??

I mean it wont stack *sorry

well i am guessing that it woult, but i dont see why it wouldnt, anyone knows for sure ?

today again i did the 2x butterfly and now i am even more sure that butterfly beats curias no matter the hero chosen

i apologize for 2 posts 1 after another

another aura item for visage,chen,meepo with
meka,vladimirs and Assault Cuirass you are definitely worth an army

hehe Bam_clearwaves_91@yahoo.com

btw this + styg + dazzle weave is retarded played today at max weave at 25 dazzle had 40 amour!!! or on a enemey -27 amour also sick...and the attack speed so good for him...oh and on nevermore is also stupid with desolator and his amour reduction....

wow sow deadly

think about sven with this and some other armor ... can be easily over 30 armor

This item i think is made especially far Ulfsaar...that hero is almost unstopable with this on

The item that solves all of Tiny's Problems! (low armor and attack speed)

hyperstone in recipe?!

maby good for niax.

definitely for tiny. naix, not really, the attack speed would be nice on him though

hav u ever been Tiny and durin lategame when ur sure ur goin to win, remove all his attack speed items, then get bit by netherdrakes ulti? it takes like 5 seconds to do a single strike, even longer when faceless void is around

OH YEAH PERMABASH MORE!!! i think i'll like this...

imba. i am stupid

good for kardel!!!!

this thing seems pretty good for a lot of agi characters and strength ones too i will try it with priestess

Sven's choice....

This is awesome.. makes use of buyin a Hyperstone, and completly ruins the treads, lovin it. Now you can have BoT and this and be fast atk and mvmnt.

I Put it on Beast Master... Effective when Pushing. I guess its more effective in heroes with agi up passive skills like Rex.

Very Expensive Recipe

tiny needs this for the speed, and also his armor. tiny's armor stinks. plus it minuses enemy armor . yay!

paano kapag nakaoverpower si mercurial tapos ginamit niya yung hunt may dagdag ba yun sa damage ng mga illusion??

this item is the best for the master of illusions....azwraith... i think the item will give the clones the ability to hunt down any apponent... this item was great

this item is the best for the master of illusions....azwraith... i think the item will give the clones the ability to hunt down any apponent... this item was great

this item is the best for the master of illusions....azwraith... i think the item will give the clones the ability to hunt down any apponent... this item was great

Whoah dang expensive.....

Can this item be that imba??! Look at the Price... hahahahaha!!! it's a team item for me.... one is enough

oh NO WHAT's THis

what do you mean by team item? your sharing it with your team? thats gay

@ Jayzee he means that the item when used helps the team ut because of the auras that it grants to fellow team members ex: more armor for u less for them 15% as aura get it.....

Give this to Visage w/ desolator with full reverants, you are ready to pwn

equip tjis item to slardar so.. deadly when amplified stun com, instant kill..

this item only looks really good and in some cases it will be but for every item/hero combination tehre is definitely a counter combo that is why there are so many items and heros so in the end it comes down to skill and timing, and a little bit of luck.

best of the new

Good item but too expensive

How about using Rigwarl with this item? plus goo...warthpath..= dead

i think its too expensive to get for rigwarl. it could probably guarantee a kill, but a desolator and powertredas should be enough

This is he one that is more useful than aeigis. helps your teammates and lowers tha armor of your enemy

obviously... the aegis is shit now

yap the icon seems . . . not clear . . but a HOT item though

what hero is best suited for this item?

This was obviously made with one and only ONE hero in mind, and that is Tiny. Most other heroes are better off spending the its huge cost somewhere else.

The -5 or +5 Armor Aura needs to be nerfed. It is just way to great. There is hardly any counter... not reasonably anyway. If it doesnt change then they should make super wepon to kill it.

TIIINYYY OMFG!!

what an icon!!! it looks like trash! is that 2 hand granades??

"To ovdjekokos
Evasion does not stack, therefore 2 butterflies will still give you 30% evasion."

Other than that, Sven + AC + Lich's Frost armor + Tree's living armor =
"Can't Touch This"

cant imagine this on Sven!! armor and attk spd!! exactly what he needs. imagine getting desolator as an orb effect and using GS

Try thiis on shadowfiend!!!!!Nevermore's presence of dark lord reduce 4 armor , assault cuirass reduce 5 armor , total 9 armor . I almost kill roshan with thiss!!!!!!!!!1 those creeps go and wreck the world tree...........

-5 armor aura + -4 armor aura of Shadow Fiend + -6 armor of Alchemist

All of you forgot VISAGE for this item!!!

Very nice item but expensive...
...Finally Solves tiny's problem

linte kamahal sang item nga ni!!!

This idem is cool, and very expensive

This item is for tiny
But this item is more useful for slitheren guard.

for slitheren guard items ultimate defense reduction
1.stygian desolator
2.assault cuirras
3.his 4th skill

tsk tsk.

I'd already try this one.I think its more awesome than the vanguard....

bgay cgro ky strygwyr yan...

of course its much better than vanguard..

This item is made for AXE!!!

i guess this item is suitable for those hero who had stun ability n especially pusher....such as.. Jah'Rakal(stunner), Traxex(chill attack), Purist(Repel), Stygwyrl(stunner), Faceless Void(stunner)
more armor.....less damage
more speed.....that's got to hurt!!!!

it is right for str type because str type are slow... in attack speed.. it is nice to use it to tiny

imagine.... Tiny with PT, Manta Style, Buriza and this at lvl 25. . each clone does only 40% but thats still pretty damn good! tinys base damage is nearly 300 at lvl 25 :P.

do two assualt cuirasses stack?

First main item for tiny...then boots...then divine...lol...

hatebreed... if he got boots second, he probably wouldnt hav enough money to even get this on account hed be kill too much.

This is great for rigwarl. Goo plus cuirass means -7 armor. Throw in a desolator for -13 armor. Even the biggest tank could get owned.

this is a crazy item with vengful spirit! if she gets desolator and this + she has TERROR which makes it -16 armor. thats like Amplify damage!!

what an item. hyperstone can finally be used with something.

great item for faceless void...

Leviathan
Power Treads
Sange&Yasha
Battle Fury
Assault Cuirass

do armor auras stack? imagine having a ring of basillus, vlads offering, assault cuirass, and blade mail! ur hero would look so awesome (the ground around the hero)!

some auras dont stack with others and ring of basillus is an ingredient for vladmirs

Do the armor-aura's of Vladimir's offer, Mechanism and Assault Cuirass stack? Would be cool for Meep0o

Do two assault cuirasses stack?

the SAME auras DO NOT STACK

same auras or auras which do similar things do not stack

This would make a deadly combenation with hyperstone on Bloodseeker!...
And Bloodseeker own with stygian desolater in his possetion

For Geomancer + Desolator + Ring of Bascillus + Mekan + Bloodstone + Treads + Dagger of Escape
= GG.

Ring of Basillus isnt any good at late game. ur better off selling it or upgradin to vlads. i dunno why u buy dagger of escape when u hav Poof.

I'm thinkin about throwing this in my Magnataur build.

w/ Battlefury

85% splash
+ negative armor aura
+ attack speed
+ empower
_________________
$$$$$$$$$$$$

good for all str hero

Nice item for Vengeful.

TERROR + Assault Cuirass = 16 armor reduction.

This item solves for Tiny's low armor pool plus Tiny's slow attack speed.

This is the meka involved!!!
nw i ad no ned buy meka!,cz i think this is good than MEKA!

oso good 4 tiny!

you better get a lot of kills or farm really good for this item

This item rocks....with Slardar and Stygian you can get -36 armour... haha i crit with Buriza and 1 shotted Bone Clinkz

At last the best item for Tiny! it remedies all of tiny's shortcoming!

get stygian and radiance with this.you'll have -11 armor on enemy and ca. 45 aoe dmg per second(radiance passive skill+-armor aura)

What do people think about this item with the new guy, Dirge. I was thinking that it would generate new zombies faster and be pretty nice.

would work great with dirge

great for magnataur too!

VS cannot be stopped with this item...stacked with a desolater and her 2nd spell= GODLIKE!!!

This item is a WOW!, + and - armor aura , though it shouldn't down-grade hyperstone

Its not downgraded. You still get 55% attackspeed, but ur allies get 15% attack speed

Cuirass has Axe's name written all over it...

WHERE???

WHERE???

This item fixes Tiny's problem with his armor while giving him his essential attack speed, bit pricey though.

This item fixes Tiny's problem with his armor while giving him his essential attack speed, bit pricey though.

almost made for tiny.
the auras dont stack so limit it to one curass per team.

Tis might work good with Mortred(phantom assassin) since she got the Coup de grace would slice through other enemies heros like nothing.

a good item for the skill combo of lanaya.nice

This item can she be useful great by Intelligence heroes or only Streght and many of Agillity...

This item can she be useful great by Intelligence heroes or only Streght and many of Agillity...

Slardar,Leviathan, Tiny, Bradwarden-they ROCK with this item

Do you think it would go with Pudge?

shadow fiend -6 curias - 6 Deso- 4 aura
= - 14 armor reduction

great work for more imba items : )

..." this item is abit deceiving though, hyperstone gives 55% IAS and platemail and chainmail gives +15 armor

and in total the recipe is 2000
so is it really worth 2000 the 2 less space of inven, -5 armor aura, and 15% IAs aura?, dunno..................

sorry for double post, but does this tack with stygian? -11 armor

Do 2 of these stack?

thats why support heroes should only get this item, i love how people r sayin that this is perfect for any hero. this is great for SUPPORT and SUMMONING HEROES mainly

sik item great for tidehunter and anyone with clones!

It is the best item for tiny .

It is the first item that hyperston is used in .It make this item very nice.

Ill say get this item with desolater for shadow fiend work very nice!!!

butterfly owns this item.

Every1 seems to think this item is so good but the fact that your hyperstone will lose 15 percent attack speed and it aint cheap.

Woops 4 got aura my bad peeps.

nice item to....

@venomvictory
+40% Attack Speed
+15% Attack Speed Aura
read before posting

i didnt see your last post sorry :[

try using this item on nevermore with deso and allies like slardar,venge,dazzle,and blood
never+AC+deso=-4+-6+-5=-10 armor
slardar ult lv 3=-15 ar
venge and dazzle,I forgot but they reduce armor too
and blood for dmg boost.try and gank a brad and let's see who's going' to win

bloodseeker with auras?

is this gud for magina w/ a basher?

good with axe! berserker's call!

sounds good for lanaya

Is this OK for Kardel??

WOW

i think this is good for kardel

God in combination with other items that reduce dmg

*armor (not dmg)
my bad

I think this item is good for almost every
hero!

why assault???isnt it more better if...tarrasque??more life + damage

do u think dat terror with lothar,dagon(5),blink dagger,p.threads,refrehers orb + with some mana item is suitable???re[plyyyyyyyy

the time i was waitng for a receipe for hyperstone! at last...

the time i was waitng for a receipe for hyperstone! hmmmm at last...

i use this item with desolator and hero combo slardar and sven......When slardar equips deso and cuirass plus amplify damage it is about -25 armor to the enemy and with sven's god srtength it is easy killing for both hahahahahaha

i use this item with desolator and hero combo slardar and sven......When slardar equips deso and cuirass plus amplify damage it is about -25 armor to the enemy and with sven's god srtength it is easy killing for both hahahahahaha

@ stevejjm
heart only grants damage on strength heroes.
that item build for faceless void is a bit unusual. doesnt sync with his skills at all.
personally, i do get refresher orb, but when im lvl 22+ because thats when he would hav more than enough mana to spam his skills

@ adwester
pity theres a cap for only -20 armour or something like that, to prevent heroes from being too overpowered.

Hell no i tried it on roshan and other heroes and still -25 armour shows up try it on DOTA 6.48b or 6.49

for the items there is only -2o armor possible because of being over powered but with a hero skill there is no limits

i didnt know the cap, i said it was AROUND -20 armour. -25 is AROUND -20

^disregard above comment, cap actually is -20.
dont believe me? http://www.dotaportal.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11250

Negative armor's damage increase is capped at -20 i.e. 170.99% damage taken. This means that a target can have any value below it, even up to -99999 (note that it can be reduced even past this point) armor, but the damage increase will still be 70.99%.

imagine sladar with his ulti+desolator+assult=-26 armour

ZOMGWTFBBQ
this item kicks ass with bloodseeker
Mass Dps=Yayoz

Just wondering can you stack this?

Combine this and Necrolyte's diffusal aura, and do a five man push.

woot! hyperstone! great for void,warlord, ESPECIALLY TINY,SLARDAR,all pplz who need extra dmg or atksp!

Cool item for any hero.

good item for luna

good thing hyperstone is more useful this time, this is the only recipe that include hyperstone, good grief

With troll's fervor aura and this, you give a free hyperstone to every allie!!! Unbelievable!!!

Sorry, my mistake! It' only +45% asp but it's still cool!!!

6470g? izzit too ex?

4 de new naix,his rage plus this hus aspd would be much faster

Superb item but the recipe should be a little cheaper

In 49b the price of hyperstone is 2250
I think is cheaper enough

Perfect Item. Should be dropable

too expensive..i prefer to have a powerthreads and mask of madness rather than this..

this is the best item for baratrum and meepo!!!wenks

does the owner of a aura also get the effect too???

Great for all stunners. But look at this. I will evaluate this awesome item build for tiny i just thought up.

Nice item for Vengeful Spirit..Desolator+assault cuirass+terror.....

This item rocks, love that yu need a hyperstone !!!!

there is 1 more recipe in 6.49 uses hyperstone

it is a sercret item
try tis

hyperstone
ironwood branch
blades of att
dagger of escape
=
assin claw

+5 to all stats n effect of blink strike
it is cool

and 55% att spd

very nice for axe....isn't it????

nice item for the agi heroes ^^_

Slardars ulti + descolator + Curias = -28 armour if i've counted right, that's alot of extra dmg

why +5 armor aura -5 armor aura?
got bling2 aura yeah!

finally meepo can own to the fullest

"there is 1 more recipe in 6.49 uses hyperstone

it is a sercret item
try tis

hyperstone
ironwood branch
blades of att
dagger of escape
=
assin claw

+5 to all stats n effect of blink strike
it is cool"

is this true?

Give this to Sven?

Gives armor which enhances the power of the defence aura Sven's got.
Attack speed and aura is good because Sven needs it for more percentage of Great Cleave and good damage amount while using God's Strength. :)

40% att spd n 15%att spd aura nice...

for the record.....

i havent lost any game when i build this item......

esp......

SLARDAR!! (Amplify, Stygian, Assault =
-25 ARMOR!!!)

DAZZLE!!! (Weave, Stygian, Assault =
-26 ARMOR!!!)

Kardel (Skadi, Cuirass, Buriza....)

ive used this on almost all heroes and never lost.....

this item defines me.....

no such thing...tried it...>.

do the aura's stack?

Multiple Assaults don't stack, but goes well with dps heros that need a boost in armor.

shadow fiend's PODL + assault curiass + stygian=ownage

whit dragon knight i think you must buy it and battelfury or/and venguard...

Meld=-5 armor Desolator=-8 armor
Assault=-5 armor
-19 ARMOR XD! This is why Lanaya is queen of dps!

why don't you post a srategy of enchantress , plzzzzzzzz post a broad strategy of enchantress

this item rocks ma sox. especially with tiny

erm its a bit expensive....instead i wud just buy hyperstone on its own and s + y...

Works nicely for Roofteller, with his living armor + this he is extremly hard to kill. Plus he needs the extra ASPD.

This is great on Nevermore together with stygian.

SIEG HEIL ADOLF HITLER! HEIL HITLER! THE GERMAN REICH WILL WIN!

Leoric PWNS Ass with this item, dammit!

huh

@Ungdi
dude you switched meld and desolator
Desolator=-6
Meld=-8

That's the item for Bara!

good!!!!!

HI

HI

Does the Vlads devotion aura stack with Assaults +5 armor aura.
Imagine +10 armor to nearby heroes!
OWNS TEAM FIGHTS!

Do 2 Assault Cuirass stack together? +80% attack speed -10armor auro

as for 2 ACs, you only get +95% ASPD(40% ea plus the 15% aura) and for the armor reduction aura... nope it doesn't stack. if you want, make a desolator so you can make 11 armor reduction to virtually anyone/thing.

SnY + MoM + AC seems like pwn for a Night Stalker. Pretty damn reasonable survivability with rape AS and MS (treads or BoT, i choose treads usually). If u managed to farm up Bashers as well... they will stay in their base at night.

my god..use this item on tank razor....GG satanic o man

perfect for yurnero the summon juggernaut

fantastic item for all the heroes. good if bought hyperstone first. That could give u the power to gt the gold for plate mail and chain mail.
