[Abbadon]

I'm up for a game on east sometime too.

[Nenso]

[Nenso]

BTW I created a sick and unique build.. it works great. (I couldn't edit the above post.. forgive me for double posting)

I'll try to explain.. I dub it.

BATTLE MAIDEN!

Hero: Crystal Maiden

The point of this build is simple. Do not play maiden as a spellcaster. Simply utilize her skills to your advantage by disabling your enemy.
For example, at the start of the game, iceblock any unfortunate hero who wanders into your range and immediately attack it until they escape. This will pretty much lower their hp by 15-40% depending on their items/hero. Repeat a few times and they have to heal and leave the lane all to you for farming and leveling up. If they get nice counter items such as potions or massive hp regeneration, then I suggest just sitting back and harassing without getting hit (this is where the ring of r comes in handy.)

I got tired of people who rush a magic resist hood with +8 hp regen at the start when they see Jaina on the other team. Hopefully this build will be able to kill those people easier. The way to fight is to damage them. Rush into a battle by iceblocking one hero, attack then, and just before the stun ends, use frost nova (only level 1 is needed) for the sole purpose of slowing them down and attack more.

When ultimate is up, frost nova an unsuspecting hero, run beside them, iceblock + silence using orchid (which amplifies damage by 20%) and use freezing field. The reason this is ultra effective even if they get the 30% magic resist hood is because orchid negates that bonus resist. If they try to run, you should have enough mana to iceblock dps/damage them to death and frost nova if they try to run.

Basher on a CM? Most people think I'm retarded for going that but with an orchid, the stuns come in handy.



Early game items (this is pretty much personal preference)
Ring of B: Stacks with mana regen aura
Ring of Regeneration: very important, allows Maiden to stay in one lane without ever healing
Gloves of haste/Boots/Giant belt of str/Treads recipe: in that order. Gloves for attacking faster when your enemy when they are stunned.. great for early harassing and first blood acquiring
Ironbark Branch: This branch "ensures a GG," what other reason do you need? XD
When you get these, start working your way for an orchid.

Gradually work your way towards these few items.

1 Treads
2 Orchid
3 Shiva
4 Scepter (if you want, normally I don't get it and keep my ring of b. for its mana regen)
5 Basher
6 Buriza

Skills:
1 Ice block
2 Brill aura
3 Ice block
4 Brill aura
5 Brill aura
6 Freezing field
7 Brill aura
8 Ice block
9 Ice block
10 Frost nova
11 - 15 stats
16 Freezing field
17 Frost nova
18 Frost nova
19+ stats.

Ok I'm not sure why I just typed all this but this is my favourite build and it is both surprising and unique.

[laxx]

Sorry, but basher is just ridiculous on CM. I'd go MKB before basher any day. My Battle Maiden is a bit different, but like you, I only get lvl 1 for Nova until I have sufficient HP. I start with a crystalisis first though.

My problem with your build is why do you need Brilliance Aura so much when you only have Ice block? Battle Maiden needs stats.

[Abbadon]

Heh..actually, it's abbadon from the wh40k game, not dota, as everyone seems to think.

anyway, nenso, what's your bnet name?

[Nenso]

Good idea with the MKB. I have Ice block and brill aura because without brill aura I wouldn't be able to stun as much as I would like. With brill aura, I can stun every time the cooldown for iceblock ends and it allows me to harass better.

I just tried MKB and it works better than basher. Bashers don't stun as much as I would like with only 10%. Another great item is Skadi near end game. I played an antimage using my battle maiden and won it early when I was level 22 and he was only level 17.

My USEAST name is Karura.
USWEST = I used to play but not anymore.

[laxx]

If you're 22 and he was 17, that AM did not know how to play. Even at 17, he should be able to kill you.

I highly doubt you can complete that build in a real game with exped players. There are times in life where things look great until you look at them realistically.
