HGC: Oriens_Yoichi by Requiem

von xXsmileXx Sa Jun 05, 2010 7:26 pm

Yoichi is an awesome Agi based hero. She got a plant which is her best skill for sure.
With this plant you go forward lining instantly on maps like "City of the Ancients" or "Crossroads". If you get in trouble because other players try to hunt you down,
just avoid them and try to get as many mobs as you can. Your aim is to grow up to lvl 6 as fast as you can so make sure you don´t just stay line, but also get creeps as 2 ; 2,5 and 3 mins.
Once you got your Ulti up go get the 4 minute creeps. You will have a lack of Mana from time to time so make sure you always run around with full Mana.

IMPORTANT: Don´t try to fight any other heroes, just if you got your ultimate up.

All you got to do now is to make sure you always put your plant on one line to kill mobwaves (lvl 3 plant can kill lvl 3 mobwaves without getting destroyed by mobs before their lifetime is over).
Go on creeping and stay in groups as long as you don´t got your ultimate up. Once 15 minutes passed and you got a decent lvl ( lvl ~17) you should wait for the right moment to kill golem solo.
For doing so just use your ultimate and once you´re back at normal mode just use lifesteal potion. You shouldn´t have any problems trying to kill golem.

These are the skills to use for Yoichi. It´s the best combination of skills to do a proper job. There´s no hero to line AND creep at the same time that well as Yoichi does so you will win by pure outleveling ur enemies.

Itembuild (1) against a team with lots of normal attack heroes:

1. Seal of Magical Power (shortkey9) /825 gold

2. Upgrade to Chain Boots of Darkness /1500 gold

3. Sharp shooter (shortkey1) /1450 gold

4. Upgrade to Armor of Transcendent Covertness /1325 gold

5. Sharp Shooter (shortkey1) /1450 gold

8. Ring of Speed (shortkey6) /3200 gold

9. Kaiser Knuckle (shortkey4) /3550 gold

9.1 Upgrade Darkplant Spine to Bugle of Bloody Crimson /1700 gold

10. Sell Armor of Transcendent Covertness and buy Fan of Bloody Wind /3960 gold

(just in case of many longrange heroes, like Dukan, etc. ->combine all materials at once, so buy it instantly at shortkey "d")

If you are good at switching items really quick buy a:

1. Wooden box from Storage (shortkey"v")

2. Bleeding Dagger (shortkey4) /4350 gold

3. Sword of Deathbow (shortkey"d") /3950 gold

and switch them with Ring of Speed and your Magic Protection Scroll, use sword of Deathblow and instantly switch back to Magic Protection Scroll if you are engaging in fight.
When you chase someone switch Bleeding Dagger for Ring of Speed.

Itembuild (2) against Magic Attack Heroes (like Moon, Fletcher Brothers, etc.):

Before step 5 buy Magic Protection Armor (shortkey6)/2800 gold, then just go on like before.

Itembuild (3) against invisible Heroes (like Dukan, Moon, etc.):

Before step 5 buy Seal of Life (shortkey9) /825 gold and upgrade it to Shield of True Vision/2260 gold, then just go on like before.

IMPORTANT: If there are many stunners at your team skip Ether Tunic and go on like before. As last item add Sword of Fear (shortkey4)/4300 gold

Acting in Fights:

Always keep your Thorn Shield activated (there are just 5 seconds CD after the effect vanished)

Solo (hunting down single enemy heroes) :

Attack them in Ulti mode (if they are on less than half hp you can go without if Ulti is still on cd). Use your Plant even if you think you don´t need it. The slowing effect is mandatory.
Use “Entangling Roots” aswell to force your enemy to waste a dispel potion or a magic protection scroll a dispel potion or a magic protection scroll. If there´s the slowing/poison effect on
your enemy he´s already done. Keep on attacking normally until the slow effects vanishs. Use potion of deceleration to slow him again. If he uses dispel/magic protection use your tangling roots.
Usually they don´t got more than 1 dispel at inventory so dispel potions are still on CD. Now you got some seconds to finish them off.

Skill Build:

Max "Insectivorous Plant" first. Put all points left inbetween on thorn shield except the one point at level 6 for your ultimate.
After lvl 6 put 1 point on "Entangling Roots" and then keep on maxing "Thorn shield / Insectivorous Plant". After that max "Entangling Roots".

NOTE: If you fight against Yoichi, always use Dispels to get rid of “Entangling Roots” and never waste your Magic Protection Scroll on it.

TeamCombos:

Yoichi works very well with stunning heroes especially with Ignes, since she´s a good dps hero. Gandilva is an awesome hero and also works well in combination with Yoichi
or any other dps-based hero. On "City of the Ancients" you just need one more lining hero such as Nachasha/Arc. For "Crossroads of Death" you don´t need any more liners so
Yoichi is gonna use her plants on each lane and supports creeping team.
