Basic Hero Guide 2: Flint Beastwood
For years, the Beasts told of a twisted man-thing that stalked them through the Rulian marshes, leaving a trial of corpses in his wake. The humans dubbed him "Flint Beastwood" -- playing on his flint-lock firearms and his residence in the Beasts' forests. Fast to draw, fast to kill, fast to laugh about the deed, Flint has now spread his carnage beyond the marshes to wherever he can find the Legion.

Item Build
Early Game
or
Start with Minor Totems/Duck Boots and HP regenerating items. Flint's base damage is very low in early game so the +8 damage from double totems/boots should help with last hitting. If mid, get a bottle (pretty mandatory) if in a sidelane, get a Ring of the Teacher or a Power Supply to get mana regeneration.
Mid Game
Continue to buy wards/counterwards to provide vision for your team if you are the ward bitch. If not, build up your farm and buy a Portal Key and roam. This will keep your enemies in fear of a 6 second disable and massive burst damage all the while allowing your carry to farm.
Late Game
Your late game should be all about trying to get all of your spells off before dying. Obviously if possible avoid dying, but know that you are expendable. Be aware of which heroes you should CC and which heroes to burst down.

ReplyDeletewait a second. flint is one of the hardest carrys around, why would you be the ward bitch? My friend believes that you've half flints guide, and half witch slayer, because this doesn't make any sense.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason that looks like an orc hunter to me from WoW.
ReplyDeleteMore awesome version of one though lol
Great blog! Keep the posts coming, i enjoy reading them!
ReplyDeleteVery informative, thanks!
ReplyDeleteINCREDIBLE !!!
ReplyDeleteI always considered flint to be a semi-carry unless you really know how to CS with him well. I see way to many people in noobie games build him like frostburn and shitty items. Im glad to see an actual legit guide. Good work! gotta love HON. Hit me up on hon- Ridemypwny
