I recently discovered your videos. They are great. You're production, speaking clarity, audio & video production are all grade A+. Professional quality all the way. The content is very helpful and easy to understand. I don't see anything you can improve upon. As a noob to DOTA 2, you're guides have been extremely helpful. Thanks!

THIS a thousand time.
Countless times I have seen experienced players totally confused and clueless about how orb effect (attack modifiers) stack and work together.

played about 20 games of dota 2 now, and after watching this playlist i think i will improve a lot more! thank you this deserves a like :D

One thing you forgot in this video: Illusions will grant auras like Vlad's to nearby units, but they do not benefit from auras themselves. The exception is that auras for attack speed and move speed do work for illusions (Drum and I think BM's AS Aura too). Many players don't know this, so you see a lot of PLs with Vlad's.

XVRogue, does not forget. Watch the full video, when it comes out, on his channel.

desolator, skadi, diffusal, maelstrom/mjollnir, MoM/HotD/Satanic and a bunch of hero abilities ARE orb effects (now called attack modifiers)

[showme]

no. what is said is that only one radiance aura is applied to your enemy, so the damage does NOT stack. The radius doesn't get bigger, however every illusion projects the aura so you can send the illusion elsewhere and it will aply the radiance aura within its range (excelent for jungling for exaple), which means you are making the range bigger by spreading your illusions.

[AlphaLanguste]

illusions also benefit from eye of skaadis frost effect, blood seekers bloodbath, and many other passives on the skillset of a hero.

[Tangly]

Illusions that are carrying gem of true sight also have the true sight ability, and Axe's illusions have a fully equivalent counter helix ability.

in settings bind a key to "select all other units", after pressing this all your units other than your hero are now selected :)

3:42 - I think you meant Diffusal Blade, although I can see why you made the mistake.

Also, Gem of True Sight, +HP, +Mana, and Quelling Blade work on illusions as well.

[MichelPal]

oh, I have just tried that. Well, even i play SF a lot, you know more about this. respect

[cruzerion]

Check the vid again. He mentions that 'feedback' (mana burn) works with illusions, but he refers to it as a UAM instead of an ORB. Both are words for the same thing, but I understand the confusion

[vzttjixe]

You should clarify that illusions do benefit from attack speed that comes from endurance auras, such as Centaurs and Yasha.

Thanks XV - hope to see somethin about orb effects soon :)

[schurging]

i can tell you one thing, push all outside (non-barracks towers) before or close to the 20 min mark and thats a push strat :D

[maternb]

Good idea! but that's specific to each ultimate, I suspect that'd be a long video.

(it could be a whole video about AA's ult for instance.)

[alvinkingo]

learn dota 2: counter warding (esp counter warding pulling creeps, sentries places that has a possibility to counter multiple wards, and just in general best places to place sentries)

[ChiKusari]

Dota2 learn: neutral creeps and abilitys. Using neutrals to block enemys and using their skills by means of controlling them. (Chen, enchant, HoD ext.)

[vilgun]

You forgot to mention that Gem's true sight carries over to illusions. On a separate note, illusions do not reveal enemy units that are obscured by smoke.
