Shiva`s Guard

Freezing Aura: -25% attack speed aura for enemies only.

Arctic Blast: deals 200 damage in a huge AOE around you (i'd say 600 radius or so) and slows movement of anyone hit by 40% for 4 seconds. Cost: 100, cooldown: 30. Units cannot be affected by arctic blast again for another 30 seconds.

Well for 4900 only you're looking at a new core item for a TON of int heroes: Leshrac obviously, and probably alot of the int DPS/support heroes like Rotund'jere (-36% damage and -25% attack speed auras ftw), Dazzle, Storm, QoP, etc. And then there is of course Harbringer: Int, Armor, and a slow, what more could Harbringer need? Oh yeah, the OTHER new caster item.

Nice new item! Like Rylai's ulti.

what about visage? does it work on him?

use it with pugna, decrepify, dagon, blast, get near, artic blast, decrepify, drain life.

This is perhaps the most friggin awsome item ive ever seen for battle int.
BATTLE TECHIES FTW!!!!

Guys This item would rape with Silencer, just think Guinsoo, Ice, and the other new item would = massive dmg.

i was raigor and i got intel treads/dagger and rushed this item is was awesome

tele in echo/fissure/enchant and as soon as id hit id nova and chase till slow ended/next enchant was cd'd

i wanna try this item on rylai/tinker/veno/pugna

this item is a little over pow 30 intel wow 15 def thats so much and arctic

This item is imba for INT heroes.. WTF for this item this should be nerfed.. toooo stronggg!

imbalance

Let's face it, INT heroes were in desperate need of a new item that can carry them to late game, and this one is perfect. Before you complain about it being imba, please consider that a lot of late game items are geared toward str/agi heroes.

Luna anyone?

super frost power!
combine with rylai or lich
its like doubling rylai's ulti and it a good combo with lich's
all the frost will slow even the fastest heroes i.e. night stalker at night

Luna is AGI hero, why would she get this?

just thought of this
u kno what would b cool to see?
rylai and lich on same team
both with this item
omg!
SUPER FREEZING!!

Units cannot be affected by arctic blast again for another 30 seconds.
sorry mate lich and rylai will have to wait.

Give this to a Lich with Aghanim's and Skadi. GG

VERY COOL!!!!!!!

Whoever made this Item like Final Fantasy.

i love this item, it's very nice

cool and finally sum nice armor for intel..TECHIES

This item is really imba on obsidian..

The key is the Arctic Blast. Whoever said Techies is not thinking clearly, because that would not help Techies. I think that the Blast is very laggy for some reason...

LOVE this on nevermore. Use his requiem of souls then Arctic Blast which is like the same thing. HAHA MEGAKILL!!

""I think that the Blast is very laggy for some reason...""
Yes its because of all the animation. It needs to be fixed.

For me this item is made for Necrolyte, +15 armor, Freezing Aura and Arctic Blast makes him so hard to kill and also his Diffusion Aura aw!!! I think this hero will be insane!!! And +30 Intelligence makes him to use Death Pulse continuously.

Does the freezing aura stack with untouchable?

FINALLY SILENCER CAN HAVE A SLOW!!! this plus skadi plus ur spells=mass slow for lich

wow! nice item! good for Lich...i think

imba artic blast and freeze arura +15 armor IIMMBBAA

cm animation is soooooooo retarted i just want to say this to all cm people

omg noone has thought that this is imba with Omni Knight yet? extra slow here most likely stacks with his aura thats like 50% speed reduction then u have the Artic Blast.
Just build him
BoT
SnY
Radience
Shiva's Guard

imba chase hero right there

This is pretty good with Rylai. You can use this and use Freezing Field immediently. Raigor also..


The special effects are really nice too.

gay, heroes with skills at slow make this super imba.
this means most Agility and Intelligence heroes.

balanar with this

Storm Spirit with this should be IMBA! Cool item for Raijin especially when chasing and combine with overload!

i wonder if this would be cool with jakiro??

someday i'll try it..

wth>>> obsidian will whack all enemies with this item+aghanims scepter...OMG!!!XD........

Dead for tiny ...
Imagine enchantres vs tiny and enchantres has this item ...
tiny lvl 16, 3 times ulty ...
So lol

This is pretty much an ownage item with tanks who dont like people running away I've used it with Beastmaster and it pretty much killed the other team good combo along with a hyperstone

U guys should try this on Puck!
damn imba...
Illusory orb, Ethereal, Warning rift, Dream coil, Artic Blast.
GG.

Try stacking Skadi with Shiva on Death Prophet.
-ASPD, -movement, then use ulti.
TOTAL OWNAGE!

this will maybe replace the cuirass, i can really see that this might just make the carry heros(agi) less powerfull and .49 so far seems too be the reign of the int heros

This item solves the two great problems for Tiny - low mana pool and pittiful armor. Try it - you will have some fun

great for int heroes since they are fucked with hood of defiance

wtf this item is dam strong its almost like cheating but as i am a hindu shiva is one my god P,though he is a destructer here he is protecting us P

shivas guard + lothars edge + suecide is pwnage. anyway LE + suecide is GG

yeah i like this item though the artic blast will requier a nerf.
good item gives techi all it needs... +15 armor shivas = 50% dmg reduction, and + 30 dmg and mana. brilliant.

Aura is decent, the use is, well useful. But.

Who needs Intelliegence (to that degree) and Armor (to that degree)?

No, I wouldn't consider this as a core item for... well, Leshrac, for example. Maybe after the core item build is complete, you may consider this.

Because, atleast for int heroes, I would rather increase my HP first than armor.

Those who need better manapool can buy a Soul Booster and those who need to spam spells need more regeneration than what you'll get from +30 int.

wow dis is sooo damn good!!!!! finally int heroes dat dont need agahim can now buy d mystic staff for a new item instead of making skadi nd guisoo evry fight ^^

This and soul has bought on a new age for INT DPS IMO.

freezing aura? how's it effect?

better than omni's degen aura. lol.

try it on fuzzy wuzzy need i say more.

woohoo i tried it with pugna nd i rock their socks off omg i have BoT,agahim,shiva's guard,lothar,nd orchid nd its just imba i ww den put ward,decrep, then freeze then start draining ur way to ownage

i think this item is good for all nukers but more to earth shaker and magnus with blink. blink in, shiva gurad and ultimate

this item is going to get nurfed next version

this item is going to get nurfed next version

this item is going to get nurfed next version

its best for zues.excellent combos

WOw..Shiva guard, huh? Nice name they put. It's aura seems to be more beautiful than the Assault one. The blast is cool.

But units cannot be affected by the blast again for another 30 seconds? That's bad..

dis is good 4 lich, antimage and terrorblade

Wow I've only seen to suggestions made of Enchantress. You guys are certainly missing out the fun of absolutely destroying those agility heroes that think that they're good with their "attack speed".

Here's the thing about Enchantress:

Her ulti at level 3 slows 90% attack speed. But this is only base attack speed. So most heroes revolve around 1.00 attack speed (i believe at level 1 or so) which put into context would mean have +100 agility from nothing. so in theory, enchantress will take away on average about 90 agility but leave any that's added by stats/items.

Shiva's Guard will take 25% of all remaining attack speed which means Enchantress is fairly capable of healing that imba 100hp/sec that she does with her wisps.

As a bonus, the arctic blast will add to your 40% slow for 7 seconds (summing up a maximum of 11 seconds of 40% slow if used properly).

The +15 armor will also reduce damage taken when she is slowing AS. Enjoy!

imba.shudn't be included in the game =(

@ drokopoulo
Yeah i like to get shiva's for Luna. This item doesnt just work for int heros i think it can own bad on some other heros... as an example those who have slowing skills: naix, loa, netherdrake, drow ranger, brooth mother, etc

Stop whinig about "IMBA" i think this item just come out to even the things out... Its true intle heros where so undervalued specially with HoD, so stop crying

What do u guys think of medusa with this item? Purge and aura, with intel ur a massiv tank.

i think that the armour gained should be nerfed a little bit, 15 armour is around 45% damage reduction assumin the hero has nearly no armour (like tiny)

@Obliv66
Great idea mate, I will definitely try it

i put this item on the ogre magi, along with vanguard and power armor (40 armor, nova and attack speed, along with bloodlust and stun :D ) i beat Rigwarl who was well equipped and in frenzy by far and left my life half full :)

WoW nice item..Nakakaadict

I think my axe can use this as well..

This is thee best "secondary" or "primary" item for Obsi Destroyer.
wow.

slardar's ultimate obviously useless.

hahahahahaha i used it with an assault cuirass, pushing is waaaaaaay easier

k lets get down to business. WTF? THIS IS STUPID. mystic=2.9,plate=1.4,so just for 600 fuckin gold for the scroll, you get 5 extra int,5armor,freeze aura, and arctic blast? THIS IS FUCKED UP WTF. Btw rain, you should realize the only price of the scroll and the original without the scroll.

i think it would be a great item for rylai cuase of her spells its like another spell for her + she get freezing aura thats good for her ulti

i think best int item ...

Overpower !! unbalanced--->Int disabler with Shiva`s Guard = ownage

i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

why not on magina? prevents the runaway from blink in and mana problem.

Enchantress to lower down the aspd to nil.

akasha for added damage. (300+200+2 slows + wave = ouch)

This item rules on enigma blink in midnight pulse , ulti as ulti finishes YOU blast AND finish the survivors off.
Gg wp.

STFU EVERYONE!!! THIS ITEM IS FOR ALL HEROES!! ITS IMBA THE WAY IT IS !!! SCREW THE INT!!! ARMOR + FREEZE FTW

Omniknight: Degen Aura + Shiva's Guard + Assault Curiass:

You have an increased 55% atkspd, and your opponent would have -25% atkspd coupled with -68% movspd. Absolute ownage if youre able to farm those items. Perfect if you want to spam his Purification instead of buying yourself a Mekansm.

THIS OK FOR DESTROYER BECAUSE OF HIS SS MORE INT THAN MYSTIC STAFF RIGHT?

the new items was good for no other than harbringeR!!!imagine this with orchid's malevolence, and aghanims!!whoa,a whopping +75 int!!lots of mana for first skill, and for the ulti!!!(by these,you can one shot a centaur with about hmm...1.5k - 2.5k HP..haha..believe it or not!!

with storm spirit godlike!
attack speed + mana regen + DAMAGE =GODLIKE!!!!!

noobs tend to get it as primary item on int heroes. leaving them with about 1k hp at level 16... soft!

Used it on dazzle.. it's nice for catching up.. poison touch and weave right away then run up next to them and use blast and then just wail on them.. if you don't kill them poison touch will have cooled down by then and you use it again.

A GOOD ITEM FOR LUNA OUCH!

The Item Venomancer is waiting for!!!!
I know Venomancer is Agility but imagine this Shadow strike, Shiva guard, then Poison Nova OUCH!!!!

This item is best with Rooftrellen.. for those that use him: the item give's armour boost(15), on top of living armour(10[with regen]).. with high armour the slow attack speed is devastating. Ulti + Artic Blast + a dagon= a devastatin combo that deals just over 1000 damage. 800AOE!

deffinately Rooftrellen's new best core item..

item sucks with enchantress btw.. she doesn't need it.. she's not gonna kill anyone with it. that much slow is stupid, her ulti does good enough

lol sorry for 3 posts.. but my mistake.. it was just ova 600AOe not 800...

does the aura stack with enchantress's untouchable?

does the aura stack with enchantress's untouchable?

Can anyone spell imba?

S-H-I-V-A-S-G-U-A-R-D

this item is also very good on axe, i thnk. he needs speed, it gives him speed in a way. he needs armour, this gives him armour. he needs mana, this gives him mana. wht not to like?

COOL Animation when you activate this

yah its totally for int dude but i think its just a little bit imba

item good for pushing and comboing, i use this for raigor, puck, lina, krob, etc.

in short, lets just say the damn new items make early game nukers into complete fuggin pwnage...

what are the effects of freezing aura? please enlighten me. shiva's guard or skadi?

what are the effects of freezing aura? please enlighten me. shiva's guard or skadi?

To all those people that think this item is too imba and should be removed... SHUT UP. Intel heroes were too weak before with the Hood out there. And if u think this is imba, what do you call Butterfly for agi and heart and satanic for str. This item is making the game more fair for int heroes.

when is the best time to farm? which point during the game?or at what level your hero should be to start farming?

when is the best time to farm? which point during the game?or at what level your hero should be to start farming?

real good item for inteligence heroes....even for stranght and agility heroes...+15 armor?? MG

I think it is good for pudge because he needs the 15 armor and 30 int. It also gives a bonus artic blast which i think stacks with rot. Rot20%+Artic Blast40% = 60% slow. Imagine meat hook + rot + dismember + artic blast + normal damage = PAIN!!!!!

15 armor? Because of plate mail +14 armor,not imba..

it could also be used with veno ...

I guess this item works well to all heroes . . . mostly.

I have tried this artifact on Puck agains an Obisidian destroyer, maybe because the destroyer had no chance to begin with. Someone here says that the arti is overpowerd... Well i consider the freaking hood of defiance to have spoiled the game and being overpower... It was high time for the magi to have some heavy assets. To return to shivas. I worked awesome on puck ... I also want to try it with chen and with pugna.

THIS IS A LATE GAME ITEM I SAY... BUT IT IS FREAKIN GOOD.

I tried using this with axe.. With dagger, this really awsome for axe.. Blink, berserk call, arctic blast... wooopp!!

This item is awsome. Absolute must for all Battle Int. And best of all its only 5k.

finally , something to replace eos make get better orbs

why the two new items are more dominant to intel?make a new item for the agi will ya

Mojilnir is the latest agi dominant item. Cant wait for another one

Put skadii on omniknight and then put this one on. Are you ever gonna come near me?

this item is good on every hero. it can help you run away, chase enemy, and even dmg them. al item are useless if you do not know how to use them.

waaaaa to many complaints, why dont you create your own item and dota as well..

Any1 thought of Jakiro?? ULT+ARTICBLAST+FREEZE = triplle kill OR WITH TINY THE EXTRA SLOW WOUL BE HANDY CAUSE IF YOU MISS avalance you cant do all to much to slow/stun him

any other good combo's?

this item is goodfor tiny

This Item will be good with Akasha
Scream+Arctic blast+Sonic Wave=
A lot of AOE Damage

wow.. extra ownage for cm and lich and not to mention leshrac

its gud for mirana!!!!love it!

its perfect 4 lich!

lich king ownage!!
hahahaha

X_X


X_X


X_X

Yeah this super COOL item it makes me shout "SHIVA!!" ( a bad word for koreans) when im using it together with my Fav Character Rylai Crestfal and Lick...It really makes her GODLIKE and make it possible for 5 multiple kills.... haha...ohh and another thing.. really works for Luna.. shes an agi int type too.. soo while casting luna's eclipse it really slows them down plus additional damage..it works For Sandking too.. hey guys you Should Try to make Odd items for Heroes...
add my friendster or messenger up outsided9@yahoo.com.. ill show you some odd Hero Builds..

could this be used with tiny?

try this with Sand KING...

got nice aura..

this is a perfect item for MAGNATAUR, REVERSE then use it!!!!!

Question: is -25% aspd really that noticeable at late game?
Let's say that an enemy hero has powertreads and a hyperstone for a total of 190% aspd (ignoring skills and agi). Does the -25% from the aura reduce the enemy's aspd to 165%, or does it take away 25% from the TOTAL aspd, making it 142.5%?
Can anyone clarify?

nize item for maiden and lich,do it first and then ulti

hi

This would be awesome for faerie dragon!!!

Using it on sven???? OMFG no escaping storm bolt god;s strength and then artic blast! awesome

waht is more advantage shivas or orchid?

this is good for lich!! wahaha...

man what a good item

Lich King Shiva`s Guard + Frostarmor + Frezing Aura = 30 armor -25 ASP aura

Wondering how good this item is offensive compare to The dagon 400dmg + possibilities to upgrade / Shivas gaurd 200dmg 4sec 40% slow .. You wont have those items before mid/late game which it means your opponents have around 1500+ health points.

Nuke with Dagon: FN 325dmg + CF lvl 2
(2 hits at least) 740dmg + Dagon 400 dmg = 1465 dmg

Nuke with Shivas guard:
Nuke with Dagon: FN 325dmg + CF lvl 2
(2 hits at least) 740dmg + Shivas guard 200 dmg = 1265 dmg but you have 3,5 sec to shoot at him with regular attack.

This calculate is presuppose that you have haved the time to casted all spells on the target

Give me some comments about this?
Is it easier to frag with the dagon?
In my opinon it is, but you become a more vulnerable victim if
you dont pay the price of shivas guard.

i agree with you. easier to kill w/dagon, but i'd rather have the defnse that shiva's guard brings to the table.

blink,artic blast and then echo!!! kill the surviving enemies with fissure if not yet dead enchant totem

This item is wonderful for Jakiro. Wonderful at clearing up creep waves and killing heroes. Dualbreath on a wave then artic blast. Whole wave destroyed in 1 second. Fastest ever. Also keep enemy heroes in macropyre AOE. Ice path, macro, dualbreath, shiva's. I love this item. It's great for lich too. But I kinda feel it's more built for Jakiro since he's really fragile and the slow effect, with the -25% aspd and the added armour AND the +25 int... This item is A-W-E-S-O-M-E

well I think it's good, I feel safer to be alone as an int hero with this item on, otherwise it's kind of suicide being in a lane alone in a decent game.

to anyone who keeps saying imba for this item, please reconsider, what kind of hero / player did u faced?

however, i dunno if this item can be used against omnislash, since omnislash's numbers of hit depends on yurnero's atk spd, so when he gets around the slow aura, will his omnislash reduced??
i used this item on rotun, and at lv.16 i try to eat all of the omnislash of lv.17 yurnero [with S&Y] alone and i only got my HP reduced to 3/4.

tis item for STR,AGI,INT???? which??

nice ITEM huh!!
looks like frezing field of rylai

zzzzz dis item always cause lag 2 my pc when used..........still...good finisher for around-caster ulti like earthshaker.....rylai...and....razor + radiance + dis item = instant massive area dmg....but razor no use with int item

PERFECT 4 MY LICH, SHIVA'S & SKADI,
OUCH!!

Does the freezing aura stack with Skadi?

Yes it does stack with Skaadi, in fact, it stacks with Skaadi + Undyings Plague, which is imba slow :)

VERY COOOOOOLLLLL......

shivas guard for abbadon = DEmons And hereTics Hunted. (take the capitals of my words lol)

I agree, it's not imba. But it has it's imba-like uses. Imagine a DPS hero like Lightning or my personal favorite hero to have Shiva's on, Storm Spirit. In a team game where you're up against a lot of gankers, farming for that coveted Skadi will be near impossible. Specially if the team's any good. Grab a shivas for considerably less gold. With your Storm Spirit (purgelike) third skill / slow, you'll get an extra 2-3 hits, ABlast +2-3 hits. Dead - while slowing others. Grapple to chase = gg

does it work on razor

shivas is good on all heroes.

support heroes can use it to support/escape
killers can use it to slow down enemies to kill
pushing heroes can use shivas to push/escape
dps heroes can use the aura to slow down other dps heroes/escape (half of the dps heroes have low hp).
tanks can use the armour and aura to slow down attacks

shivas probably wouldve been only useless for old naix

Has anyone thought of this.......put Shiva's guard on omniknight,along with degen aura thats a attack and movement speed slow AURA! Haven't tried if it's any good or not though

No reason not to be good :) The common build is BoT Skady arkane bla bla, shiva might work as well

good for obsidian destroyer.
cast astral, approach him, and arctic blast when it astral finishes, and kill him with arcane orb. (or ulti)

uhmmm,can anyone tell me if arctic blast trigggers deactivation of linken?thanks

i dont know for sure, but it shouldnt. linkens is only supposed to stop targeted spells, and artic blast is an AoE spell

shiva's guard is good for lich but drow would be a better choice wouldn't it?

can a VENOMANCER use this?
imagine..
VENO- shadow strike,plant wards,poison nova,arctic blast

Enchantress ulti+freezing aura=enemy's damage is so slow that it is caculated by dpm(damage per minute) lol

i really like the armor boost and also the int gain is also pretty good but i like the slow best.

when rhasta uses the wards use artic to wipe out the wards,this is rhasta's weakness item

Have you actually tried it,cause it says that Rasta's wards are immune to magic

buy for dirge and you are set.

OMG nice item FOR SF :)

think abt Artic Blast + Sf ulti =D

Looks good n sounds good for lich... but then again... armor is nt that much needed for him...

perfect on tiny... gives needed int and armor...

THIS IS A NECESSITY FOR DIRGE! Well, not necessity, but just think. I get this and radiance... Plague +Slow + 200 damage + zombies thwacking/trapping + radiance + my own hits + soul rip. Its just like a black hole of death, everything that goes in gets crushed, except for DPS crit beasts who outgear you or crazy nukers. Now lets say you tap on Orchid? is that 40% amplify damage, silence, 200 nuke/slow, soul rip, tons of zombies.... oh my god. Unles outgeared, u will dominate, but dirge=#1farmer

last item for rylai to become perfect form

wow great for rylai
1. orchid
2. shiva

sometimes the active doesn't seem to work....

y s dat do? is 8 applicable 2 any 1 specially 2 str heroes & agi type?

This item goes pretty well with furion.. after deso and treads of course

"song-il-gook 2007-10-29:
great for int heroes since they are fucked with hood of defiance"

oh how true lmao, thanks... after feeling good about shiva's I felt instantly hurt inside lol.

does this item stack with jakiro's dual breath?

i think it's nice on axe..
blink call helixes shivas culling...hehe

it is also like the eye of skadi. cool!!
