INTRODUCTION

Hello . This is my new weaver survival build .
I based this build on making weaver even harder to kill or disable , and combining with my previous build ” https://www. dotafire. com/dota-2/guide/advanced-weaver-early-impact-7-21c-24978 ” i came up with this one which is more effective in some situations .
I will show you some builds that I tried in game . Those are versatile builds from period when I was experimenting with this hero . In the beginning it was hard but soon I got a hold of it . Later I was changing my build as new patches changed this hero .
Here’s few of my games with weaver 1 year ago (75 % of those are wins):
NOTE : This build is only for advanced players that already have some experience with this hero .

SKILL SEQUENCE

More or less we go for standard skill upgrading common for most weaver guides first upgrading 2-nd skill for being able to early escape ganking and disjointing projectiles.
After that it’s also important to take all 3 skills once and continue upgrading 2-nd and 3-rd skill as much as possible .
The reason is that by upgrading these 2 skills you are able to harass enemy heroes more frequently .
Everything else , harassing included , is explained in my first weaver gu >

ITEMS

1. You buy circlet because u may want to upgrade it later to ” Wraith band ” and it will give u some attack speed and stats .
2. You can eat ” Iron branches ” if u want to heal more or u can save them for magic wand depending on different situations .
3. U need 1 ” Mango ” because they give you bonus hp regeneration , and of course if u are out of mana in emergency situations you can use them to replenish mana and escape or kill enemy .
4. Last but not least ” Healing salve ” , also very important item

EARLY GAME ITEMS

You can see these items and explanations in my first weaver build . (link in INTRODUCTION)
But we have 2 additions here . It’s ” Helm of the Dominator ” and ” Ring of Tarrasque ” that you can buy before dragon lance if you are harassed too much by enemy players . It will give you great hp regen and some stats (in case of “RoT” , it will give you cons >Ring of Health ” and going for ” Perseverance ” .

1. ” Maelstrom ” is important because of fast farm and combo with your 3-rd skill , improved attack speed and chain(zone) damage = faster farm , easier kills , magic damage making high armor hereos easier to kill .
2. ” Eul’s Scepter ” is new item that i combined with weaver because of his wide using range as debuffer and other bonuses like mana regen , bonus movement speed . Ofc you can use it also if your 2-nd skill is on cooldown so you can buy yourself time by using eul and escape .

We concluded that main damage output of this weaver is still physical but we also slightly improved his magic dmg with maelstrom and weaver level 10 talent . So what we need to do now is to improve his magic dmg even more . Our next item should be ” Radiance “. Ofc if you don’t feel safe even now you can buy ” Lotus orb ” or ” Linken’s sphere ” , depending on a situation . Of course we can use lotus orb as another debuffer . What will you buy is up to you and situation in what u are . Then of course u will want to make use of all that magic damage so after that you should buy ” Octarine core ” . It will make you tanky and give you spell and chain damage lifesteal . Also it will decrease your cooldowns which is very useful in weaver case especially because of ” Boots of travel ” and your 2-nd skill . In addition there is ” Aeon Disk ” that should be very useful to weaver considering his low hp and vulnerability to disables . Next item is completely your choice that you choose depending on situation .

NEUTRAL ITEMS TIER 1

If someone asked me about a generally good Tier 1 item for any hero , I would say ” Trusty Shovel ” . It is useful because in most cases you will get something good except in case of TP-s .
As next tier 1 “good” item for weaver I would say ” Ironwood Tree ” since it grants great deal of stats in early game and in that way it supplies weaver with health , mana and agility (all things that he needs) .
Then ” Royal Jelly ” that provides good Health regen which allows weaver to be sustainable in early game without any cost .
” Broom Handle ” is also good drop especially for weaver since this hero lacks Attack Range . It also gives some Armor and Attack damage which makes weaver better trader .

As a winner I would say : “Trusty Shovel”

NEUTRAL ITEMS TIER 2

As useful Items here I would put : ” Ring of Aquila , Vambrace(strength) and Philosopher Stone ” . Yay , ” Ring of Aquila ” is finally back , great carry Item . Prov >Vambrace(strength) ” is because with ” Vambrace(agility) ” you don’t get as good stats and resistance as with Srtength ones . As 2 Items that might seem good that I wouldn’t recommend , I would put ” Growe Bow and Imp Claw ” . Reason for this is because ” Grove Bow ” doesn’t give any stats which weaver needs in early game period and because ” Imp Claw ” can really be replaced with much better Items . I recommend it only if you have a free slot .

As a winner I would say : “Philosopher’s Stone”

NEUTRAL ITEMS TIER 3

Recommended Items : ” Greater Faerie Fire , Third Eye and Helm of The Undying ” .
Not recommended Items : ” Mind Breaker and Orb of Destruction ” .
Why not these Items ? Well because what these Items offer is not much and can be easily replaced with other more useful Items .

As a winner I would say : “Helm of The Undying”

NEUTRAL ITEMS TIER 4

There is not much to say about good Items for Weaver here . I would just say : ” Flicker and Leveller ” .

As a winner I would say : “Leveller”

NEUTRAL ITEMS TIER 5

Well at least I think this is easy . Most of Tier 5 Items are useful . But if I had to choose top 3 , I would choose : ” Apex , Stygian Desolator and Trident ” .

To choose a winner here is Hard and dependable on situation , but in most general way weaver is played I would say : “Stygian Desolator”

TALENTS

7.07 update is weavers game changer . When we talk about weaver new talents which made him more of a versatile hero . So , because of this we can make weaver more survivable with more early game impact. This talent pick should be logical . We take +35% exp so we can get other talents and upgrade ult faster . With 7.20 – 7.20c patch no important changes were made to weaver . He just got slightly buffed with health rengen for example , and ofc a few more things .
After next dozen of Updates Weaver got Buffed and Nerfed many times , but lastly we mostly see buffs as minor changes to stats . So after 7.23 patch there has been no changes .
