It’s up to you wether to max Hunter of the Deep Forest or Entangling roots first.

Questions about skills:

“Why do we need plant?”

– lol, what a silly question. Plant is like the most powerfull skill besides the ultimate our Yoichi have. Deals pretty good damage in early – midgame and slows enemies. Don’t forget that the plant shares the exp with you! That means you can put your plant on a single lane. It will kill enemy soldiers and you will get the gold + exp. Means u can do something more important then standing on lane. For example killing heroes or go creep. If you have a good timing, you can summon up to 3 plants at one time.

“What’s so good about Hunter of the Deep Forest? It’s just +50 DMG. THORN SHIELD IS MUCH BETTER!!1!11!!!11!omglol herp derp derp”

– read the description again. FU** THE 50+ DMG. IT WILL INCREASE YOUR RANGE BY 2M !! That means the skill turns you into a midrange hero, but you can still steal life. Besides that, you can kill amuritas and linorams without the effect of damage reflection. But that’s not all ;) you can attack enemies while they are in tangle, but they can not attack you. ..and don’t forget your 50+ DMG :)

btw. if you find irony in my guide, you can keep it ;)

“Hmm.. Hate of Nature cannot be cancelled.. Isn’t it more usefull than Entangling roots?

– no it’s not. Don’t forget that timing is everything. Hate of Nature = 4 Seconds. Entangling roots = 6 Seconds. Difference of 2 Seconds means a lot! And why should you use hate of nature if you can just use slow potions ;) You can read more about this on “6. How to play Yoichi”.

.:Item build

The item build question.. Well, there are many different itembuilds for Yoichi. This really depends on your enemies characters. Do they have more ranged heroes? More Casters? More Melee Dmg heroes?

Let me suggest you a few items for ALT+TAB and explain you why i choose them later:

Beginning:

ImageImageImageImageImage

Minute 5:

sell: necklaces / poison sword

buy: Image|Image or Image

Fill remaining slots with HP: for example Image

Now it should look something like this:

Image

This is what your mid – lategame inventory can look like on a balanced game:

Image

What you sell and buy first depends on what you need the most.

Low hp enemys ? -> more dmg and attackspeed -> more and more advantage. They won’t have the time to kill you.

Get killed too easily ? -> get more hp and defense ( or you just suck and need to read the whole guide again )

Few more good items and why i choose them

Image Armor of Transcendant Covertness
+28 Dmg / AS + 34% / +300 HP. Good combination of surviving and destroying in mid-game. Buy crystal of stamina first, and upgrade it afterwards, for example.

Image Robe of Red Flame
Might be usefull on maps, such as Mine of Oblivion or Swamp of the Immortal. good in combination with:

Image Buggle of Bloody Crimson
Usefull against melee heroes.

Image Sword of Deathblow
+30% AS and following effects for the duration of 2.5 seconds:
– critical damage rate increase: 35%
– accuracy increase: 100%
– AS increase: 25%
Usually you don’t have much time to attack your enemies, so when you get the chance to, do it right! Don’t forget to activate it ;)

Image Seal of Taegeuk
Damage + Defense. Good in Pre-lategame.

Usefull storage items

Questions on Items

“What am i aiming for on Yoichi?”

That depends:
If you have your level advantage, which you should have because of your plant, then you can go for damage and attackspeed.
Or you don’t have level advantage. Then enemies will pick you as an easy target. Try to find balance between dmg and hp+def.

“Enemies have invisible heroes.. upgrade the stone to shield or sword of true vision?”

I choose the Shield of True Vision. In combination with the Ether Tunic, it should be enough defense related items. Means i do not buy the Armor of Absolute.

“Why Ring of Speed?”

Easy to answer. Yoichi is a silent killer. He comes, kills, and goes away. For the duration of 15 Seconds you can increase your MS by 100. Thats not all. Ring of Speed gives you 200HP ; +30 DMG and 30% more AS. Thumps up for that one ;)

“Sword of Fear or Sword of Conviction and Punishment?”

Let me tell you something: You don’t have to decide either you choose Sword of Fear or the Sword of Conviction and Punishment. Why don’t you just buy the SoCaP for early – midgame and replace it buy SoF afterwards ? SoF can give you up to +86 Dmg in lategame. That’s more usefull then 40% AS. Besides that, you will have enough AS anyways.

“I finally have my 3 slotted Yoichi! What do i have to put in?

Defense / Agi / Movement / Phy | Choose between them

.:How to play Yoichi

Early Game

Try to get a single lane.
Use your plant to block and hit enemies with Sword of Poison.
Go Creep after Minute 2 is over and summon plants on every lane you walk by.

How to fight enemy heroes?

Use Ultimate -> Put Plant on suitable position -> Attack
1. Enemy runs away: Slow Potion -> Wait for dispel or magic protection scroll -> Dispel -> Tangle roots -> Attack
2. Enemy stays and fights: Use Vampire Potion-> Wait for 25% Hp -> Tangle -> Destroy

Mid – Lategame

Same strategies. Just don’t forget to put your plants on every lane so you can keep your level advantage.

“Friends”

simply every hero that can stun / slow enemies and heal you.

“Foes”

you should avoid groups of long range heroes with many hp and stunners
