...core items [under review] [E]

A core Boots upgrade to have some much needed mana sustain to spam Decay for fighting and farming. Can be upgraded to Guardian Greaves later in the game.

A situational item that gives you a save for yourself or an ally with Tombstone. Works well against single target initiations such as Duel.

An incredible pick up for Undying to become extremely tanky with HP pool through Decay while making enemy heroes much weaker. Has great synergy with Flesh Golem to do massive right click damage in teamfights.

A core item that gives you some much needed armor and reduces healing in an AoE around you. Works well against illusions and summons along with your AoE spells.

A core item that helps with mana sustain to spam Decay for fighting and farming. Also makes you tanky with armor and HP pool.

A core item that uses your high HP pool to reflect damage back to enemy heroes. When you choose to build Blade Mail, get it as your first major item and rush Eternal Shroud and Aghanim's Scepter afterwards to make it more effective.

Decay partially works through both False Promise and Fate's Edict's Magic Resistance as it keeps reducing Strength and the target's current HP. The only thing that Fortune's End can dispel are Flesh Golem's Plague and Tombstone's Deathlust Slow, which can be easily re-applied. Oracle does not contribute in any meaningful way towards Tombstone's destruction.
