Templar Assasin Carry Guide
Templar Assasin Carry Guide
Templar Assasin, aka: templarka, lanaya, tashka - one of the favorite heroes of boosters on the carry position, thanks to its dps and fast farm potential it can easily finish games in solo.
💎Hero Strengths:
1) Strong laning:
Templar Assasin is capable of standing any lane in solo, and even winning a 1x2 lane. Thanks to her abilities, Templar kicks enemy 3 and 4 pos off the line, forcing them into the forest at early timings.
2) Fast farming potential:
Lanaya quickly builds up networth and advantage even in the worst of games, when you get kicked out of the line your allies are feinting on other lanes. Running 0/5 you can still be the top 1 networth of the entire map and have 1-2 more slots than enemy carry.
3) Huge DPS at all stages of the game
On laning you kick enemy dabla off the line due to the huge damage from meld and refrakshen, in midgame you kill roshan and shock sapports and in leute you stand in beclane and do damage not worse than drovka.
4) Huge mobility and map control
You are very hard to gank, lanaiu can not take away magnus because of the blink out, you can not jump in you initiators, because you press peak blink and go to a huge rent in the safe zone.
- Also you control the map very well thanks to the traps (a very important ability that few people pay attention to, I'll tell you about it below)
Weaknesses of the hero:
Survivability without refraction:
Without shield you are very easy to get penetrated because the hero is quite thin, always try to run under shield.
Slot Dependency: Even though Lanaya quickly gains advantage, it will be almost impossible to win without the necessary slots. Hero is very dependent on gear.
Problems with opponents with a lot of armor and illusionists, such as Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, Morphling. Lanae has a hard time breaking through heroes with a lot of armor, but this is fixed by buying brooch and rapier, ending up on re-farm before opponents can reach key slots.
Gameplan at all stages of the game:
1) Lining: - 💎Starting Buy:
💎Skillbuild: Meld-Refr-Meld-Psiblades-Meld- Trap- Refr
If you don't know how to pierce with psiblades, you can take a refrash aspect against Windranger.
Plan for the line: on meld's cd break through the enemy 3 poses, the main focus should be on farming, you should have 60-70 creeps to 10 on average, you can do 100+.
Bye to 6-7 minutes, first bring blight stone, then boot, upgrade it to pt, then bring null on mana regen.
Don't forget to collect loot.
💎Important tips for laning:
1) Don't forget to pierce your opponents with meld (give meld - swing, give meld - swing)
2) Your hero doesn't want to completely shift to the forest, lanaya is the hero of the line, you must win the lane and kick out 3 poses.
3) Under level 6 you take 2 centri, put 3 traps on the line, 1 trap under your tower, 1 trap behind the opponent's tower.
4) With traps play as aggressively as possible!!! If a hero comes to the ladder, he often dies.
5) With ptshka you can already safely pump up the forest, if you can not strangle on the line, just fluff the pack and farm the nearest camps.
6) Don't forget to ask your sapport to stack your enchants, or you can stack them yourself, blowing up the trap in 2 seconds from the normal creep stack (stack timing is 56 seconds, so you blow up the trap at 53.5-54).
7) Deny your long range creeps with meld.
8) Put a pack under the spavn lothus, help the support to pick it up
💎How to play in midgame?
Swing until 20 minutes, you should have a purchase like this
It is obligatory to kill tormentor with dl and desol at 15 minutes!!!!!!!.
Try to swing carefully, your hero is very thin now, any gank from opponents can throw off your tempo, do not rush to finish even if you have stood the line perfectly, it is better to build up the advantage by farming key slots and only then kill roshan.
With aegis break external t2 taverns, then either force Find the Kill, and then go to the hg, or HOWEVER until the next aegis.
💎What about playing in late?
A lot of people think TA is a tempo hero and that it loses relevance in leut, but this is far from true. Lanaya is one of the most mobile heroes in leut, she does a huge dps with psyches, she's great at defaunting xg traps with shard and she's almost impossible to catch.
In leite play only with a team, or carefully splitpush. in fights occupy STRICTLY the backline, play as a drow, do not break into the center of the fight, even if you have bkb, you will be taken away.
Put 3 traps on each line, they will allow you to krypskip an enemy creep pack, thus activating the backdoor
What should the final build look like?
💎This build is a reference and the most universal, if you have little experience on templar, you can collect it in every game.
💎Why harness blink?
It gives an incredible amount of mobility, you blink more often in a fight, you become almost impossible to catch.
What other slots can I collect?
💎Important tips and basics of templar play
1) Don't try to jump to the center of the fight on templar, your character is played only from positioning, imagine that you are a drovka.
2) Keep blink not to break in, but only to get out of the fight.
3) Don't forget that with the Voidblades aspect you can blast your opponents with meldom psyches, blades are the ones you should use to warm up your opponents!!!!
4) Blades have pure damage, their dmg is not cut by armor, you can burst heroes with a lot of armor with blades, through creeps/traps/other heroes.
5) Blades also stitch in gost.
7) Try to be big the whole game, aim for networth 6k at 10 minutes, 14k at 20, 22k at 30 minutes.
8) Don't kill yourself on hg, it's better to consolidate your advantage and swing if it's very hard to get on hg.
9) Do not forget to put traps on the fight: in front of roshan, for tormentor, under the hg, put traps absolutely always!!!!!
