15. Stats
16. Reflection
17 up - 25 Stats

Justification:

• Burning Shadows is learned first to obvious reasons; this is your form of disable and can be used at early levels to help execute a bloodlust (if you are tri-laned).
• Cull is maxed first for the mana burning effect, which is great in shutting down enemies on your lane. You may alternate Burning Shadows, depending on the situation, but it is advisable to always max Cull first.
• Deep Shadows is given the least priority, but should be learned for emergency purposes.
• Reflection is a no brainer, and should be always picked up everytime it is available.

 

Item Guide for Amun-Ra ::

Item Build

Normally, you start Fayde with this items:

Starting items




1x Logger's Hatchet
1x Iron Buckler
1x Runes of Blight
1x Wards of Sight

Notes:

• This items makes your lane presence stronger; Logger's Hatchet for last hitting, Iron Buckler to shrug off some physical damage and Runes of Blight to keep your health in check.
• Occasionally since you will be getting the middle lane, it is suggested for you to get off a Wards of Sight to gain advantage over runes.

Pre core items



1x Logger's Hatchet
1x Iron Buckler
1x Runes of Blight
1x Wards of Sight
1x Bottle
1x Ghost Marchers
1x Blood Chalice

Notes:

• Bottle and Blood Chalice are your first priorities; this item solves mana issues early in the game.
• Ghost Marchers is your best preference of boots for Fayde, as the boost in movement speed is significant in chasing down dying heroes or escaping tight situations.

Core items



1x Logger's Hatchet
1x Bottle
1x Ghost Marchers
1x Blood Chalice
1x Codex
1x Wards of Sight

Notes:

• Codex is your core item for Fayde, since it further more increases the amount of damage you can output in a single instance. It is a no brainer, everytime you play Fayde, this is your item of priority to build.

Luxury items


Spellshards - This is the next best thing to get after you finish your Codex. Rips off your enemies magic armor, allowing you to deal more magic damage in the process.


Shrunken Head - Grants you magic immunity for a good amount of time.


Nullstone - I barely see this, but it is a good pick up for Fayde. Enhanced regeneration and the ability to block a single targeted spell for every 20 seconds.


Behemoth's Heart - Obviously, for survivability purposes.


Portal Key - A special section for this will be discussed in the Gameplay Strategy.


Viable Attack Modifiers


Frostburn - This probably is the only best attack modifier you can pick up with Fayde. Decent stat boost, but the increase in movement speed is sweet.
