slahser's way: Meteor Arc Warden Support

WAY BETTER TO PLAY ON DIRE WITH 1 SEC SPARK WRAITH DELAY ON MAIN!
Hi I am slahser, and this is my way of playing Arc Warden Meteor Hammer support. I think meteor hammer is pretty broken with him, and that his damage output in the early and midgame is really strong.
He also works as a support because he contributes a lot of damage and slow to team fights, and with meteor hammer you become one of the best pushers in dota, since your clone can cast it as well. His weakest point is the first few levels, but the other stuff more than makes up for that. After meteor hammer I will get Scythe of Vyse, or also called sheep stick, for the double disable with my clone.
I think he is currently better to play on dire with the 1 sec spark wraith delay instead of 2 seconds on radiant, since it is way easier to hit on dire.
Some of my games we were able to break high ground by the 20 minute mark, and even when the other team is pressuring you, you can still use meteor hammer to help you in the team fight, and punish them a lot when you counter push.
I start of with a point in spark wraith, then max flux and then max spark wraith, sometimes taking a point in magnetic field at level 4 if they have a ranged carry. As soon as I hit 6 and have meteor hammer, I will sometimes just send clone backdoor to tier 1 towers and meteor hammer them.
For talents I get more range on flux, then usually flux duration, and then magnetic field cooldown reduction.
He can be pretty clunky to control, and many times I would be confused which was the clone and which real one, which would result in some pretty bad feeds. Also it is very confusing right now as in patch 7.33c that it switches around between clone and real one depending on if you are dire or radiant.
Simple way to play: Be in team fights spamming your stuff from both clone and original, and double meteor hammer towers. Make sure to space out the hammer strikes so you get full damage from the dot, since it doesn’t stack.

Hi, 4k player here who reported slasher. Slasher was our position 5 Arc Warden. He built a meteor hammer and had around 29 mangoes in his inventory. He would walk into nearest enemy tower in the middle of a fight, cast double meteor hammer, spamming spark wraith, and proceeded to yell "SLASHER'S WAY". We gave him no farm so he could be a walking ward. Granted, his unorthodox build worked and carried us to victory but I still felt it deserved a report.

This meme never gets old.

Dota is weird game, everything can works

[@sykskysyk]

Slahser videos go up, my behavior score goes down.

[@rubz1390]

The dire/radiant change is so bizarre.

[@Shefetoful]

yeah I assumed they would do it for a couple weeks and then use the data to decide to make one version permanent

[@nightwalkstreet9979]

​@@Shefetoful That's what they want to do, "The upheaval has attuned Arc Warden to the ancients, this condition is temporary and will go away once Zet adapts to the new paradigm.

Noteworthy that Arc's laning can struggle a lot against two melee bruisery heroes. If they walk together at you, your spells dont really function and you might just explode due to your horrid mobility. Lvl 15 bubble talent is very good when you have ranged manta carries OR illusion-based melee carries such as Naga, CK, PL, until they do something about the blue bubble working on illusions.

Kotl with shard and Arc warden with Octarine and level 20 talent can allow you to cast 3 Tempest Magnetic Fields giving your team 300 BASE attack damage and 450 attack range.

[@TheKaratejesus]

Would phylactory or whatever it's called work on this build after hammer? boosts your damage quite considerably.

Slahser's wayyyyy

[@Halaa_]

Thanks Slahser, time for me to go ruin my teams day

[@TheRex1209]

Casualy flexing the divine 5 rank ❤

[@slahserTV]

When your best rank is top 25 europe about 7-8 years ago, being divine 5 doesn't feel too good:p

[@olpaszent]

I wanna see his full build as sp arc warden.

[@knkaitlog]

go normal arc warden after hex i guess? your team wins long game wihich usually happens in pubs, like a clinkz support who builds solar crest into orchid/hex/gleipnir

[@charlesfernandes8086]

before the muerta patch, id go mid AW 1st item ags then meme hammer, easy 20 minute games of my life

[@cm3462]

Don't forget to max Upheaval.

[@Dom-bn1ru]

What mmr is this

[@chasekluck]

div 5 is around 5.4-5.6k (5640 is immortal)

[@Varumitto]

I guess your hand problems got better? Last I heard about you you were quitting dota because your fingers were refusing to work. So congrats on that.
