Clinkz

Bio

General Strategy

When Clinkz stalks invisibly through the battlefield, none are safe from ambush. Swift of foot and arrow, he rains fiery death upon his foes, then retreats to absorb life from the creatures of the forest as he prepares for his next assault.

Though frail and easy to kill, Skeleton Walk grants Clinkz stealth and haste to escape and re-position himself. This skill is also what makes Clinkz such an incredible ganker. This assassin is also equipped with Strafe boosting his attack speed to insane levels for a short time. Searing Arrows provide huge bonus damage, greatly injuring enemies in conjunction with Strafe. To aid his assault, Clinkz can form a Death Pact and absorb a creature`s life for greater damage and health, making him not only able to take more hits, but hit harder as well.

Recommended items

Starting items:

• Tango give Clinkz the basic health regeneration to stay longer in lane.
• Healing Salve can save Clinkz at the very last second in an emergency.
• Clarity is very important since you need to dominate the lane by harassing your enemies with Searing Arrows` hits, you need to refill your small mana pool in the first 5 min of the match.

Early-game items:

• Ring of Aquila gives improved damage and mana regeneration, allowing better use of Searing Arrows.
• Magic Wand helps against enemies that can spam spells.
• Soul Ring can solve Clinkz`s mana problems, if cast before using Death Pact it effectively costs 0 HP, and allows Death Pact to be used on cooldown.
• Blight Stone will help you for very early ganks or pushes, or simply to harass an enemy even further. It will later upgrade into a Desolator or, at a cheaper cost, a Medallion of Courage that also provides some much needed mana regen. It`s not unheard of to get both these items. You can therefore get an early Blight Stone, finish a Medallion and immediately get a second Blight Stone.

Core items:

• Power Treads help you attack faster to improve the effectiveness of Searing Arrows.
• Desolator stacks with Searing Arrows, which adds more killing capabilities, and dispose heroes with low health pool quickly.
• Monkey King Bar improves Clinkz`s damage per second and gives a passive mini-stun which can cancel channeling spells such as Town Portal Scroll.

Situational items:

• Orchid Malevolence solves Clinkz`s mana problems associated with using Searing Arrows and allows you to silence heroes. This allows Clinkz to gank more effectively and disable enemies abilities in fights. Can be upgraded to Bloodthorn, which is very good late game item for Clinkz.
• Daedalus greatly increases Clinkz`s DPS because, when combined with Strafe, he does roughly 2 attacks per second with the skill active. Combined with Power Treads and Orchid Malevolence it makes it much more likely to crit multiple times in a short period.
• Butterfly provides a massive agility and attack speed bonus as well as evasion.
• Diffusal Blade can be useful if the enemy team has multiple Ghost Scepters or Ethereal Blades. With fast reflexes, it can also be used to purge the active from Glimmer Cape.

Clinkz, the Bone Fletcher

At the base of the Bleeding Hills stretches a thousand-league wood⃢₀ₔa place called The Hoven, where black pools gather the tarry blood of the uplands, and the king-mage Sutherex sits in benevolent rule. Once a sworn protector of the Hoven lands, Clinkz earned a reputation for his skill with a bow. In the three-hundredth year of the king-mage, the demon Maraxiform rose from sixth hell to lay claim to the forest. In response, the king-mage decried an unbreakable spell: to any who slew the demon would be granted Life Without End.

Unaware of the spell, Clinkz waded into battle, defending his lands against the demon`s fiery onslaught. Clinkz drove Maraxiform back to the gates of sixth-hell itself, where on that fiery threshold the two locked in a mortal conflict. Grievously wounded, the demon let out a blast of hellfire as Clinkz loosed his final arrow. The arrow struck the demon true as hellfire poured out across the land, lighting the black pools and burning Clinkz alive at the instant of the demon`s death. Thus, the mage`s spell took effect at the very moment of the archer`s conflagration, preserving him in this unholy state, leaving him a being of bones and rage, caught in the very act of dying, carrying hell`s breath with him on his journey into eternity.

Overview

Clinkz is a versatile and powerful Ganker/Carry hero with excellent pick off potential.

Strafe is your general attack speed steroid. Try to use it whenever an enemy is immobilized, so that most of your time is spent attacking, and not chasing the target. It`s also one of the best pushing abilities in game, so don`t be afraid to use it against towers.

Searing Arrows is where your damage comes from. It gives 30 bonus damage for 10 mana at level one, so you can use it in lane to get last hits if needed. Be careful with spamming it, since you have a below average mana pool. Combined with Strafe it can be really mana intensive. Don`t forget that the bonus damage works on towers and other buildings.

Skeleton Walk is your main escape and roaming ability. Use it to get pick offs, position yourself in a teamfight or escape from enemies. At level 1 the duration is already the same as the cooldown. Be careful not to overextend, Clinkz is a really squishy hero when caught out of position and can easily be bursted down.

Death Pact is what gives you survivability and some damage. It devours an enemy or neutral creep, and gives you temporary HP and damage. On early levels, if you don`t wish to leave the lane to Death Pact a creep, you can use it on your own lane creeps to deny xp and pull back the wave. Always try using it on the large neutral creeps, like the Centaur Conqueror, Satyr Tormentor or Troll Summoner. Use the cooldown strategically, before a pick off or teamfight starts. Be careful to not lose the buff before fighting, since Clinkz has a below average HP pool. On level 1 and 2 the cooldown is longer than the duration, only at level 3 is the cooldown the same as the duration.
