Oh one more thing most people don't know about Slark: your corpse can gain permanent agility. If you die, and an enemy who is affected by essence shift dies within 300 radius of your corpse, you will gain permanent agility. This is a nice bonus for offlane or support Slark where you don't mind trading your life as much as a carry would.

It's only stealing 1 Agility, it's really has no bearing on whether or not its worth trading a kill. Basically just a "worth got stacks"

yeah i played loads of offlane slark before so i know most of the laning matchups vs standard carries pretty well vs ursa the only levels where essence shift beats fury swipes with equal farm is 1 so having no items and rushing ring is bad. if you have like oov and 4 branches or something then lvl 1 come swining out the gates you can bully him badly get a lead and then hopefully you will be lvl 4 by the time ursa gets 3 then you might stand a chance

Hi. Slark spammer with about 1000 games here. Definitely love me some offlane Slark, always felt it was potentially underrated. Thanks for giving me the the green light.

i kind of thought i was hearing things with the background music. but no, it's actually Limbus OST. Thanks you Jenkins for not only showing the best builds, but acknowledging the best songs

Library of ruina is most big brain thing in this video

I thought my Limbus are playing by itself when I watch this video wtf.

The amount of Limbus music you used in this video... I love it.

I lived to see Jenkins use Dwarf Fortress music So blessed 1:41

Already play a lot of slark 3. His base regen and essence shift make him a trade god. His aghs and shard are broken tier and literally provide enough utility on their own.

history truly repeats itself. When I started playing back in 6.75 or so, invisible offlane was somewhat popular, and heroes such as riki, clinkz and even slark with sb were really common, back when most people didn't know how to play and never had dust on em (of course this applies to pubs, pro scene was aware of such items lol)

This is awesome. I've always carried sentries as slark but I feel useless as a carry. Definitely swapping to off-lane for him now!

Before I quit doto years ago, Slark has been one of my offlane then transitions to carry if needed in late game. My build for him though at core was with dagger and diffusal blade, and yes he was one of my core heroes that I actively hunt with during transitional early-mid past the 8~10 min mark due to his ult ult passive that can definitely try to hunt or notify for wards/enemy visibility. Dagger was a core for me due to how dark pact has a delayed activation and a short cooldown, basically you'd activate dark pact prior to going dagger in so it'll already be a few secs in cooldown once you already blink in. Essentially, you'd dark pact > blink > pounce if enemy tries to escape to lock him > dark pact again. You'd be activating dark pact twice in a shorter duration which basically destroys squishy heroes and that's just Slark with a Dagger and no other item. Dagger is also insanely useful for jukes and escapes, due to Slark's passive you have insane high mobility that once you enter fog of war, with dagger on cool down you'd blink out. It's why shadowblade has never found a use for me with most of my Slark builds primarily because it's so easy to counter and even if you do get into fog of war, if they know your sense of direction, you'd be easily chased down. And considering his health regen and with a mana recovery/regen item, you basically have a hero who will most likely never go back to fountain to recover. Slark was one of my favorite heroes at the time, and people really never liked me playing offlane with him and using dagger due to a lot of people getting stuck on traditional builds back then. Dagger Slark has never been popular, and to this day I don't think it has.

I remember one game where our team's slark would do anything for stacks that he would even die for them. He kept saying that he needs agility over and over again. Annoyed, I replied with "You don't need agility, you need intelligence" and everyone laughed (including him). One of the most memorable moments I've had of playing this shit game 😂

1:45 OST from Crypt of the Mecrodancer - Mausoleum Mash

4:07 Holy shit, Limbus Company OST in a Jenkins video. You are, without a doubt, a man of culture.

I played a lot of offlane slark back in the day of safelane trilanes. Back then you mostly just needed to survive as the offlaner, so slark was great at just soaking XP until you reach 6. Then once you are 6 slark is great at taking up space on the map. He's kind of like bristle where he's just really fucking annoying but you need to rotate multiple heroes over to deal with him and even then he's likely to get away.

bro using the dwarf fortress soundtrack for BGM like i wouldnt notice. A+ video

Please make more of this

That music from limbus company just messed with me so hard. I litteraly was like "wtf i didn't even open steam"

I saw the potential in vanguard slark quite a while ago but this noob had little success unfortunately. Have you tried phase boots and echo saber instead of defusal? Also I feel soul ring might also be viable if you have no use for the energy booster

I played your offlane antimage build religiously for a while and now I have a new hero to be stupid with

0:11 a wild Mav appears

Btw, did I just hear Limbus Company music from 6m30 onwards? The Budha abnormality theme and then main menu theme

I used to play him offlane a bit. Just because of the dewarding ability and the fact that you can dark pact so many stuff. Gonna try it again.

As a slark main, the main reason he’s the best carry is infinite scaling with essence shift. Same goes with other heroes with similar features, pudge, legion commander, axe and silencer (though it depends on how much intelligence is left on the enemy).
