FOUND BUG WITH FLAK CANNON AND MANTA/ILLUSIONS! Listen up!
Make Manta Style and go to line, use Flak Cannon and fire all rockets (3/4/5/6=depends on level of Flak Cannon) then use manta but rockets will no longer be firing on your main Aurel Vlaicu only on the illusions, but you must make this under 15 seconds of that time when you use Flak Cannon because then will the effect of Flak Cannon wont work on illusions! Good luck! (THX Icefrog you made another fun hero with bugs XD!)

aurel vlaicu...From Romania...gg icefrog i like it ;x

fudeus said...

arcane boots (for use first skill without worrying about running out of mana)
3x bracer (for life, since he is very fragile)
lothar (...)
eye of skadi (the only item that works without canceling third skill)
if you get up here, sell the bracers (one by one)
and make buriza, buterfly (in that order)
, ok, now you got: arcane bots, lothar, eye of skadi, buriza and buterfly
if you do not win the game with all this
or you are noob
or your team is shit :D

Godliked said...

DAGGER TRAVEL SATANIC BUTTERFLY SHIVAS BURIZA

you must have huge health to avoid pindown or getting killed
atleast you have chance to survive, you can have 3 bracers 1 vanguard at first. and then proceed to the items...

the important items for this hero is about getting large HP(and lifesteal to ensure killing) ... dagger to jump in to the battle (to chase the enemy with homing missile) and shivas for slowing the enemy

vanguard
phase boots
desolator
cuirass
manta

my build for this kind of hero is
Lothars- for gyro's last skill or for initiation
that's all

Anonymous said...

Phase Boots
Manta
Lothar
Dagon 5
Empty Bottle
Ethereal Blade

that would be a better build for Gyro ..
I built these items on GG and the game was dominated
mostly by me and my allied heroes :))

With gyro, your third skill has very low mana cost and very low cool down, and it's based on your current damage. So mainly you want to increase your damage so you can farm like crazy and own like crazy in teamfights. You'll also need some HP or armor in order to survive long enough to get abilities off. I often go vanguard, sometimes BKB (if playing against nukers), and occasionally aghanim's (for the HP plus some extra damage for your ulti). I've been buying orchid for mana regen, silence, and damage, but I think I may try eul's to set people up for ulti. Good idea.

xhin said...

haha . hers mine ..

phase boots
aghanims
dagon
manta
ethereal blade
shivas


whats the use of lohtars ???? maybe dagger is more useful than lothars :))))

what item doi buy items in stormspirit

Christopher Smith said...

After playing this hero a bit more, here's my new build. Usually I get a bracer, a ring of aquila, and arcane (unless I want to save for BoT). Next core items are BKB and Aghanim's. (BKB lets you survive teamfights so you can spam all your skills. Aghanim's gives you global cast range on your ulti, so don't forget to use it!) Then take Butterfly to make flak awesome. Optional items: Manta, Ethereal, Veil, Urn, Heart, and Lothar's. Items NOT to buy, since they cancel flak cannon: MKB or any orb.

Some people don't take flak cannon until late game, but IMHO that's a mistake. Flak has very low c.d. and mana-cost, and a decent range even at low levels. I use it to farm and harrass in the early game, and almost always end up dominating my lane and sending enemies back several times to heal at their fountain. Position gyro behind the line of enemy creeps, then hit flak cannon. The enemy heroes will have to stand so far back to avoid getting hit that they won't even get XP. The mana cost on this skill is so low that you can spam it with just a sobi mask.

Also, buy observer wards! You're a bit flimsy, so the one thing you don't want to do is get ambushed by several enemies while farming.

With BKB, Gyrocopter is the ultimate teamfighter. I usually get scores around 11-5-25 with this build. Support your team and enjoy the ownage!
