[zircronium]

well like i said b4 different ppl different play style and prefrences well this is why we come to the forums in the 1st place right to hear and read abt different views

[howlinghobo]

i have no idea why ppl need guides for characters like rkimaru

if ur any good.... u can pwn with this guy anyways, unless ur against pretty good guys in which case this wont help a bit

if ur a noob then u should play single player with ai or something instead of wasting time on a guide

A guide is practically for people who need help into getting to know what sort of items that can be used well with him.

The guide offers a better knowledge on a hero. It's might not be the same as studying, but it has the same concept. You can practically just read a text book and try to understand it, eventually, with some brains and effort, you'll understand. But by having a teacher to guide you, you understand quicker and adapt more efficiently.

If you're against the idea of writing or reading a guide, may I ask, what are you doing in this section?

I've never commented in war3 section but i play play it.
My Itembuild:
1st: Ring of regen(Buy 2 if 4v4)
2nd: Save to get s&y
3rd: power treads
4th: Butterfly( save for eaglehorn first[3400])
5th:Many choices- Vladmirs Offering/ Heart Of Tarrasque/ MKB / stygian desolator/ cranium Basher/mjollnir(new weapon shop)
By now you should be able to destroy
P.S. theres no need for hyperstone power treads and Butterfly is enough

My Skill Build:
BlinkStrike(trust me heros are low healthed easier kills)
Back Stab
Blink Strike
SmokeScreen
BlinkStrike
Invisible(ulti)
SmokeScreen
Backstab
Blink
backstab
Smoke
ulti
backstab
Smoke
Abilitypoints
Ap
and however you want so on...

Trying to use a early Backstab build is not worth it imo. You don't have enough Agi bonus to really justify putting all the points in. Much better to get Blinkstrike and Smoke. Also use blink strike lvl 1 to get easy creep kills if you are laned against a strong harasser early. Once you have invis you can just sit in the lane and farm Xp, nabbing an occasional creep kill/deny. Also the new cloak of defiance works wonders on Riki, since most casters will nuke you first thing when you come out of stealth. Also the regen lets you hide in stealth for a bit to heal up after taking some damage, saving you a trip to the fountain. Good Luck and happy hunting. Hope this helps some people.

No offense but that's a terrible guide. Look at some sample guides before making your own.
