There is a caveat with the "build back when you're behind", because at some point you're just giving them your tower (or the game itself) for free. So it can only be done for the tower and only while it's healthy.

[@PicaPinguin]

what do you prefer?: 1) lose tower 2) lose game a rather lose the tower and get mid back instead safe tower and never push back you need make sacrifices sometimes in order to get back in an good spot! obviously losing fort is not good ^^ in the video as u saw i was talking about the early game where both wont happen ever

[@arc-sd8sk]

thanks!

[@PicaPinguin]

thx to yout for watching!

[@Amateur2CombaT]

This video is good quality and also contains very good tips. The one thing I didnt totally agree with was starting with mine on red/blue. What I usually do is to fight for mid with footies or gouls and mine asap after i full built. But with grunts or huntress I start mine . I guess that is a bit too specific for a top 10 vid and maybe not even correct. Maybe the one thing missing in your video is tips for drafting : dryads op, dispell in general kinda required. MG good knights soso, stuff like that. Another thing that is a bit specific is orb of darkness in the early game , one of the few item worth buying in some situations. Other than that I think you covered pretty much everything really good job !

[@PicaPinguin]

hey man, thx for your feeedback

[@Viltliv]

very nice. like and subscribe

[@PicaPinguin]

appreciated

[@pWndConan]

Usually i don't buy items early on aswell, two exceptions tho are Orb of Darkness on ranged dps heroes and Tali of Evasion on Melee Tank Heroes, else they dont really lvl.

[@PicaPinguin]

evasion early is a bad choice health items are the most value early on cause the most dmg comes from spells and health items are the most cost efficient in early game e.g. gem of health

[@MisterD-m4c]

I like the way you say "mid control" 🎉

[@PicaPinguin]

thx :D maybe i can say it more often in my next Video :P

People underestimate mana talisman and sobi mask. very cheap and gives heroes like lich, fs and other burst heroes so much more dmg in the early game because they are usually oom after one wave.

[@PicaPinguin]

thx man, can be worth if you are about to stack waves for long time

[@erlendlarsenholme7515]

Sobi is more or less a must-have on Warden, too. Level blink to 3rd level fast, stick a Sobi on her, and she will likely hit lvl 10 twice, if not more, as fast as the other heroes on the board. At that point, you just wait for her to die, and stick auras on her late game. I can see having the spellshield being a good idea for this strategy, too, and maybe even the regen. ring if you have little to no healing between yourself and teammates.

" try to comunicate with team when to buy gold mines and tiers" my team: 4 goldmines immediately it into flame me for not keeping mid

[@PicaPinguin]

well, not much to say or you can do just try carry those ppl if team is "special" you gonna accept it i feel you

[@erlendlarsenholme7515]

Been playing DS for a while now, and watch a few streamers play it religiously, so I know alot of mechanics already - but still you managed to sneak in a few things even I didn't know. Great vid, not overly long, short and concise.

[@PicaPinguin]

youre welcome, thx man appreciated

[@Kronim]

🧐

[@PicaPinguin]

i guess thats good ^^ are u investigating?

[@timoge7226]

clickbaity title, but proves to be worthwhile watch. good advices thanks for the wisdom!

[@PicaPinguin]

youre welcome, iam always have "clickbait" title but i also will deliver what u expect/want to see :D

[@rapidwaterwolf1]

If you spent 250 on wave 1 from the first position with a mine, you literally have less than a second to choose your hero and level a skill after it finishes before you miss next wave. Seems totally unfeasable.

[@PicaPinguin]

not if you have mid control - 3 seconds are fine to get hero out btw if you are to slow to do it just spend 200 gold only then. you dont need pick hero skill before the wave at all. in fact you wanna skill hero after u saw what enemy plays. way better! especially on summon heroes you wanna see first if enemy has alrdy dispel or not. that why u want mid - it gives you especially in the early game very important ressources!

[@rapidwaterwolf1]

@PicaPinguin think you need it longer than 3 seconds. I had a 10 gold margin from not spending all 250 and had under 2 seconds to click build and then decide, but fair enough. Dont think we won any of the matchups in the first round. And ya, I realized an hour later that hero skill ups go into effect immediately. I do think it was important to mention that you need some mid control for those to be real numbers in the vid. Especially because with all the new players there are a lot of people full spending first round and some even skipping first mine for a while.

[@PicaPinguin]

@@rapidwaterwolf1 yeah i have to admit that i maybe should say spend 220 gold would be better - my bad cause i am used to get in most games early mid it works for me. thx for your feedback!

[@izicial7469]

You don't want to use Cripple??????????????????????????????????????????????????

[@PicaPinguin]

thats true - why should i? will get instant dispelled doesnt add any dmg to my army not what iam looking for at all has high mana cost & what u want on necros is skelleton + frenzy so i wont waste my mana pool on a spell who does not much for my army Maybe iam missing somethink: Why should i use it?

[@izicial7469]

@@PicaPinguin If you are worried about insta dispell then skeles are already really bad and just feeding exp to the enemy in my experience. Reducing a units damage by over 50% is pretty good depending on the enemies build. If they are mostly large units like wyrms or chims then it can be really powerful. Having your units not die is pretty good for increasing your damage but like everything else in game, it is dependent on your build and theirs. I would agree that frenzy is better overall though.

[@PicaPinguin]

@@izicial7469 i think the most important disadvantage of cripple is that if the enemy buffs his wyrm and u wanna cripple it then also your units will dispell both your debuff + enemy buff so its kinda hard to apply your debuff without allowing him to have a buff of himself this is pretty anti synergy - and in most games enemy will buff their units- this makes cripple a lot worse then frenzy. cripple wil get used towards enemy frontline. they are only tanks so no value targets yes u are right if skellies are bad alrdy why upgrade 2 cripple then? makes no sense imo frenzy is 1.000 times better then cripple with skellies on top. Gives you more dmg instead of try reduce enenemy dmg. also backline is less likely get dispelled i can see your point thou that if enemy has big chims / wyrms infront then cripple does a lot i just think this happens not that often. but maybe i also should try it you definetly have valid points for situations where it is good thx for the Tips! :D
