FIRST BLOOD!!

Alright, anyone who's played with me in the past like week knows that i have a huge boner [figurative boner] for Alchemist.

i think that Alchemist's stun [level 2] + Yurnero's blade spin [level 2] is pretty much the easiest combo for getting first blood.

I'm curious as to what you guys think is the best combo for a fast first blood.

Haven't giving each much thought, but I think shackles and a magic missile or blades spin could work even better.

For some reason whenever I do Pudge and Tinker mid with a friend of mine we ALWAYS get firstblood in TDA games but I dunno thats just a shit load of instant damage

Today I was in a very annoying game. I would get stunned by Alch (while alch mixes the chemicals witch doctor has plenty of time to get near me) and when I got like 5 sec stunned then I would get maledict and get owned.

Don't skip out on Goblin's Greed either.

Anyway, Alch + Jugg is good, but then again, any hero with a stun laned with a Jugg will be good either way o_O.

He's a really useful hero but the reason hes not used in competitive play a lot is because of his crappy attack speed, stat gain, base stats, and his horrid early game (besides the massive stun).

Well, that is only true for 6.48. From 6.50 and beyond, Alch suddenly got a lot better o_O.

Hopefully he can be used in more competitive play when they change the new stable version...

yeah, he's pretty shite early.
his attack makes it hard to judge last hits, and you have to play very conservative because of the low stat gain.

i still love him, tho.

Tri-lane 3 stunners at start for easy level 1 FB. Vengeful/Lesh/Sven/Leoric/Lina/NA/Crix... Once you get your FB one of them goes back to their lane.

Alch is really useful for this because he has a 2second stun at level 1...

yeah, alch's stun is amazing.. if he starts casting while target is in range... then no matter how far the target moves away, it will cast ^_^ thats what i love about his stun

lvl 1 techies + rhasta ;]
