Late game items for Night Stalker
His early game is relatively straightforward. Built tanky items, press R and gank heroes. My typical item choices are phase boots, one or two bracers if the lane is hard, medallion if enemy has squishy cores I can three punch.
In terms of tanky items, I pick one. It is S&Y if I feel I can snowball hard. Halberd if I need disarm. Crimson or pipe if my team struggles against physical or magical. And BKB as needed.
In low MMR games (1-1.5MMR), it is very common that game gets out of control very rapidly. I find myself in very large some of gold and I dont know what to buy next. He becomes a decent tower hitter at night so I usually bought AC before his new aghs.
With the new aghs, he becomes a decent teamfighter it feels like including the the silence. You can press Q at least two times in a fight. AOE is huge, guaranteed to hit everyone in the enemy for around 3.3K guaranteed damage damage before reductions. It feels like a decent item and makes NS more tankier.
In one game, I went for radiance after the aghs just for the meme. It felt very good. It makes enemy team almost impossible to fight back.
So, lately I buy midas if I can get it early go for this build aghs to radiance. Ofc, after buying tanky items and bkb as needed. My logic is simple. BKB starts to wear out towards late game and I just cant hit enemy heroes freely during hg pushes and rather feel useless. So, I become an AOE monster and soak up the damage for the team. MS and strength talent is very useful.
Are there better late game options for NS?
