Lina the Slayer is a ranged Intelligence hero, adept at destroying enemy heroes fast and delivering massive bursts of magical damage, making her one of the most effective gankers in the game. She possesses immense damaging capabilities all throughout the game, but is very fragile. Two of her fiery spells are her main source of damage, Dragon Slave sends a wave of fire to burn enemies in her path while Light Strike Array stuns them with a concentrated pillar of solar flame. Each of her spells deals great damage early on and has a low cooldown. Her Fiery Soul bolsters her attack and movement speed exponentially every time she casts a spell, which gives her scaling damage for the later game. Laguna Blade, her ultimate, is her ace in the hole. Lina fires off a huge bolt of lightning at a single target, dealing colossal damage. Laguna Blade's damage is staggering in early-mid game, and late game is still enough to destroy frail enemy heroes. Dragon Slave, Light Strike Array, and Laguna Blade are incredible flaming nukes that can incinerate her target instantly, and Fiery Soul allows her to transition into a strong and fast physical attacker. Though her power falls from its peak late game, mana-boosting and damage-increasing items can be purchased to keep herself up, serving as the team's magical semi-carry, dishing out intense burning damage with her attacks and spells.

Bio

Lina, the Slayer  "Play One little spark and before you know it, the whole world is burning." Role: Nuker / Disabler / Support Lore: The sibling rivalries between Lina the Slayer, and her younger sister Rylai, the Crystal Maiden, were the stuff of legend in the temperate region where they spent their quarrelsome childhoods together. Lina always had the advantage, however, for while Crystal was guileless and naive, Lina's fiery ardor was tempered by cleverness and conniving. The exasperated parents of these incompatible offspring went through half a dozen homesteads, losing one to fire, the next to ice, before they realized life would be simpler if the children were separated. As the oldest, Lina was sent far south to live with a patient aunt in the blazing Desert of Misrule, a climate that proved more than comfortable for the fiery Slayer. Her arrival made quite an impression on the somnolent locals, and more than one would-be suitor scorched his fingers or went away with singed eyebrows, his advances spurned. Lina is proud and confident, and nothing can dampen her flame.

Starting Early-game Core Situational

Explanation:

To have a larger presence in the early game, it is recommended to get Arcane Boots rather than Phase Boots. This is because casting her three spell combo requires a large mana pool. Lina also falls into the utility hero role, so having Arcane Boots to help regenerate your allies mana along with yours is very helpful. However, it isn't uncommon for players to disassemble the Arcane Boots, and use the Energy Booster for Bloodstone. With most heroes with a low strength gain like Lina, a Bracer is recommended for an early game HP boost. To give Lina better positioning so she can land her Light Strike Array more consistently, a Blink Dagger or Force Staff is considered core on her. Also, if your team does not have one, building your Bracer into a Drum of Endurance is always a good choice, as the item synergizes with Lina very well.
