Bloodmist does 3 things: - confuses your team on what bloodmist does - confuses enemy team on what bloodmist does - confuses Bloodseeker on what bloodmist does

[@orven_lou]

I don't understand how people get confused with this spell, everything it does is literally explained in the skill's description. I won a tight game with this aghs purchase once and it was the 1st and only time I built it while playing bs lmao

[@RuRu0091]

​@@orven_louits new spell and people these day aate to read, y until now idk it ddeal damage base on enemy hp, and idk it give shield for overheal

[@MangaGamified]

League's has similar skills most of it's life, Blood Mist is basically amumu W in terms of enemy max HP damage but way wider reach, health cost many champs has that, +50% bonus healing on thirst -- sounds simple enough.

[@Tomokisan12]

I loved what he said "I only buying this, because it has blood in it." When i bought bloodstone, because i really thought that his agah work like Lesrac ultimate.😂😂 Maybe that's why im still 2000 MMR

[@belofost]

I bought a bloodstone on BS in 4700mmr game, after radiance, mjolnir, aghs and bkb. It worked that time.

[@gambaru55]

​@@belofostbeen destroying people with bloodstone bs honestly is was a good item buy for bs magic build even must buy i would say if you build magic bs

I like the bloodstone idea. Maybe I'll get flamed in a turbo game but I like the idea

Do it, it's turbo. It should be played for fun. I don't get these flamers try hard whining when they lose in turbo.

Basically it's rot but you have to buy a scepter for it.

[@ndricimhalili9793]

Yeah, but it's based on Max HP and you can amplify it with Bloodrage. Meaning that you can basically melt high HP tanks in seconds

[@Mayhamsdead]

Yeah, "basically it's rot, only you have to buy an aghanims for it" - and it doesn't slow [ EDIT] as much as Rot does, costs a lot more health per second but also deals a lot more damage per second to enemies, has a cooldown, etcetera. A.k.a. it's NOT "basically rot" 🤓

[@trash_girlfriend]

​it has a 30% move speed slow

[@Dape17]

It's also harder to manage in low tier rank solo queue as player there just wont leave creeps for you in the late game, as a bloodseeker you have to fins your own creeps or neutrals to make a barrier before fighting.

[@Zen-pw2ze]

To me it sounds like you're impression of higher ranks is that its a safe haven where your teammates wont cause you any problems and you wont have to be independent anymore---that's furthest from the truth. At all ranks, and in any competitive team game, it is a free for all where your individual play matters the most. All who have gotten to the highest ranks have learned to minmax their self preservation and self efficiency to carry them selves out of the low ranks. Change your focus to a more solo, self persevering mindset and you won't ever have an opinion like that again, and you will probably climb ranks faster too.

I love the concept of the ability a lot. Not that it is that useful, but was really surprised about using it while tp'ing

[@odarkeq]

I'd like to see a How It Actually Works about Bounces, Lich Ult, Hoodwink Nut, Witch Doctor Cask, Omnislash, Venge's shard etc. (unless they are truly just random) After seeing Crystal Maiden's R mechanics, I wonder if there's more to learn elsewhere.

[@zzadrianzz]

Man, calling it "Hoodwink Nut" is crazy lol

[@fairy6818]

3:37 Misconception. or misspoken. Spell amp doesn't amplify magic damage. It amplifies SPELL damage. Meaning physical spells like BB's Quill Spray, Dazz's Poison Touch, DP's Exorcism; pure spells like Doom, OD's Arcane Orb, Nyx's Vendetta all benefits from spell amp.

[@Glitch9001]

the over heal shield can be dispeled as well

[@ikrar26]

thank you for making this video.. i never use bloodseeker not even trying to understand his skill.. but when i see enemy use that skill i just run.. i mean seeing hero in bloodbath is creepy lol... now i know hahaha

[@sedimiri.7195]

I was on your stream asn ask for advice about IO. It helped me and i want thank you. But i have another question. What do you do if your team is AFK farmng? No gangs, no fights. When I play IO it feels like you should follow carry and help farm but thats wrong, right?

[@zzadrianzz]

Ayy, thank you so much for checking out the stream! :D I love having people come by and hang out and ask questions like that in the chat, it makes the whole experience much more enjoyable. That's a great question, especially as a Wisp since yeah you do often want to be playing with one of your cores. It's feels kind of hard to say without seeing the specific game, because there are so many factors to take into consideration. If I had to give some general advice on this question/issue I'd say try to play with one of your cores who is applying the most pressure on the map and help them apply even MORE pressure. For example if your offlaner had a good lane and is pressuring the enemy safe lane tower, play with them and keep them alive, or be ready to relocate and save them if the enemy tries to respond to their pressure by killing them. If no one on your team is doing anything, you can try to tell them to go do things and you'll be behind them to save them, or to go look for pick offs with your relocate. Again, hard to say, but if you have a specific replay you'd like me to look at, join my discord and send me it there and I can take a look. Thanks again! :]

[@reanravindra]

Isn't aghanims shard is also the answer to the blood mist ability? Since it's allow bloodseeker becoming Lifesteal with Blood Rage getting lifesteal everytime he or an unit under the skill effect hitting something?

[@lokikokoko5833]

The shard only give lifesteal when u hit,not on magic effect i think.lemme check

[@lokikokoko5833]

Its not lifesteal but heal u instead when u hit

[@Personnoname114]

@@lokikokoko5833 it is lifesteal, it's one of a few ability that use the "lifesteal" word correctly, basicly it takes 30HP from enemy and gain it to you when you hit, and it amplified by any lifesteal amplification (Sange component, Paladin sword,...)

Does shadow demon second skill reflect the damage unto enemies?

Since spell lifesteal (bloodstone) overheal can generate shield, does it work the same with lifesteal (satanic)?

Yes

[@mellow2879]

Does medusa need any agility while being agility hero?

[@ChocoaLattee]

Wat i like for this build is as offlaner radiance, bloodstone, shround/pipe/Lotus, Windwalker

[@angelofdeath7207]

This hopefully will become the meta with the new sange/yasha popularity. Aghs with satanic and sange/yasha would go crazy especially with debuff immunity. The lifesteal would go crazy

[@DominicXThienohazard]

i have this build in turbo, because only in turbo you can farm it. First, go maelstrom. Then you build scepter. After scepter is a tricky question : do you build eternal shroud OR bloodstone first? Eternal shroud with barrier on gives bloodseeker a constant 66% mr, equivalent to a bkb. Unlike pudge you don't lose health. This build is tank mage similar to leshrac, DP, necro and bb.

[@mschauer97]

I prefer going radiance instead of maelstrom. And sange and kaya is super strong as well. There are so many good items.

[@kevinstotomas-cf4zu]

Sir, do magic resistance items (like Eternal Shroud) reduce Blood Mist's self-inflicted damage?

[@lazylonewolf]

It's magical damage so yeah. The video also mentions BKB reduces the self-damage.

[@nocturnalforsaken4519]

what about bloodmist against illusion ? what about effect blood mist with satanic ?

[@sunawansunawan655]

Can you do storm spirit ability explanation? I learning this hero now and still no idea how to hit high damage impact to enemy

[@belamiklos3399]

could shroud work with this? does it apply a stack every 0.1 seconds ?

[@Razomka]

I wanted to test this, so I did. It does trigger shroud. You can gain the full stacks if you leave it on. Pretty cool

[@jullan2969]

the magic build on bloodseeker is very viable id say up to low divine rank. ive been using this build in ever since it came out. radiance, bloodstone, heart of tarasque, sange kaya, bkb and wind waker is the build. also dont forget shard as this will allow you to do right click damage too.

[@pcxxy]

Could you kindly make a video on vision against monkey King in trees?

[@Teng3Cheese]

How is your health bar white? i would like to have that, i keep loosing my hero amongst the sea of health bars

[@ItsRenamed]

im bs enjoyer, its only usable against either 3-5 melee or 3-5 str heroes. very situational and only usable at late when everyone hp scalling much higher

[@gustavo.acarneiro]

So basically if we stack his aghs + radiance + that neutral item that gives +45 burn dmg, we’re talking about a huge ammount of DPS, am i right?

[@rckbrch]

that's why the blood seeker I supported on my rank game a while ago was so strong and became like Bristleback hahaha

Isnt the new update change the 3rd skill from heal to lifesteal? What change then?

it is treated as lifesteal so lifesteal amplification items like sange would increase the life you get from kills

[@lokikokoko5833]

@@yuzycute i mean the interaction with agha spell blood mist. To generate the shield u need an outheal source. Since the 3rd change to lifesteal is it affecting the agha spell or not?or is it basically the same?

You didn't mention that this ability pairs very well with his shard. It gives my mans pure dmg lifesteal :V

[@misterandmisisC]

This is a very mechanically-fluid hero (no pun intended) I mean , you can do a lot of things which maybe borderline OP amplify with sange and yasha, bloodrage, buy spell steal, spell steal talent, holy locket, neutral item spellsteal soooo many ways to become op

[@user-xx3nd2tg5i]

Regen based heroes are easily countered now with items like spirit vessel / skadi

[@ray.wilson]

Pudge with a lot of str stacks + blademail can jump into bs and absolutely destroy him while taking almost no dmg xD. Blood mist is actually more harmfull for BS himself, very hard to use.

[@sighgaming3982]

When i play blood, when reaching health below 30% on clash, i usually get out, farm creeps fast then get back for the chase if team is winning the clash or get to safety if team is losing the clash... When a teammate dies and see me halfway thru farming(to gain HP) they question why i was farming during clash and its taxing to explain

I have been spamming this hero to a lot pf success at 5k. Mael > rad > bkb > mjolner and shard (super optional, I skip those almost every game until super late) > ags > bloodstone You can mix and mash as you please, but this is my preferred build. I am winning like 3 out 4 games.

[@aswHUNTER]

i wish i can go radiance right after maelstorm. in 2k bracket my mid and off are likely to fail their lane so i had to buy bkb to somehow compensate for their loss and also most of these player doesnt know how safelane BS works. you think in this type of bracket good to just skip bkb for radiance?

[@bigbigestwiner92]

@@aswHUNTER it’s okay to go bkb first if you need. If I am doing well I can usually get both at around 18 to 20 min, which equals roughly 10-12k networth. In bad games I am probably like 1k short of rad at 20mins which is more like 8-9k net worth. These timings make up somewhat for the lack of protection, especially if u know how to go in. I would highly advise against you initiating any fight at any pount of the game. The hero is much stronger as a follow up
