Innate: Empower Armor (Passive)
Has a 3% chance to heal the Magic Infuser by 20x his STR when he gets attacked. It has a 30 second cooldown, and costs 20mp when triggered. There isn't anything you can do to control the ability as it will randomly heal you sometimes when you do need it sometimes, and sometimes when you don't.


Level 1: Combat Mastery (Passive)
A passive ability that grants a chance to do double damage and a chance to evade normal attacks, the percentages when maxed out are 90% chance of a 2x critical hit and a 45% chance to evade. Not that great of an ability to have early on because of the low damage of the hero and the creeps. However it is essential to eventually max this out for later rounds.

Level 1: Empower Hammer (On hit)
Gives the Magic Infuser a percent chance on attack to stun creeps around him for one second. Good because it has a chance to activate for each of his attacks and the chance goes up as the ability progresses.
Costs 3mp every time it is triggered.

Level 6: Empower Axe (On hit)
Another passive ability which has a chance on attack to lower the armour of enemy creeps for a short time. The percent chance and armour reduced increases as the ability progresses. Only get this skill if you're going for a damage based build as it helps very little if you're going to rely on Empower Bracers.

Level 10: Empower Bracers
For each attack the Magic Infuser unleashes a short shockwave dealing damage to all creeps it touches. The damage isn't based on the creep's armour and works better with a higher attack speed since you want to unleash as many shockwaves as quickly as possible.
Note: There is a trick you can do with the stop "S" button to make him unleash more shockwaves by canceling after he has done a shockwave but before he attacks, so you will just unleash shockwaves. However if you do this you have to be careful of mashing the "S" button so much that the shockwaves are never released. Practice it until you get a good feel for it since it can't be described easily with words.

Status Gain per Level
Str +3
Agi +1.7
Int +1

Suggested Playstyle:
The Magic Infuser is a unique hero in that he relies on passive abilities that are also percentage based and require mana to work.
His abilities are decent except for Empower Axe which is only useful if you plan to go for a damage geared build, however the are many heroes that are much better at damage based builds.
The build that seems most effective is to ignore Empower Axe (possibly going just stats early on) then going for the Ring of Victory which will boost your STR for tanking and Empower Armor and AGI for Empower Bracers and Empower Hammer. While he does have a decent attack power it seems more important to buff his stats for his abilities then getting attack power and life steal.

Tips:

• Magic Infuser is a hero that rely on attack speed, the faster he hits the more damage his ultimate will do and the more often Empower Hammer will stun.
  
  
• Magic Infuser is usually surrounded by creeps until he can use his ultimate, so anything that can boost armor or health is recommended to get.
  
  
• Anti-Magic Potion is a one way to dodge stuns, as the Magic Infuser could quite easily be killed by one mid/late game.
  
  
• Don't go for a damage build unless you learn Empower Axe, but most times it's enough to kill with his ultimate.

one silly question
if u acquire swords, does it add on ur ulti?
when ur ulti is activated, is ur dmg+ the ulti's dmg?of course i mean the dmg on the monsters not directly hit by u but the ulti

if not, guess get more attack speed is better...
IMO max ur axe first(the guide above said to ignore it)
-----edited-------
from my observation,
sword's damage doesnt stack with the monsters not within ur physical attack range.
i mean like this

monster2---monster1 U hitting--U

the monster2 is hitting by ur ulti(ulti dmg only)
but monster1 gets both ur physical dmg and ur ulti dmg

correct me if i am wrong!

Another thing, getting zirc ring or telo if your combo lacking AOE dmg.

Ingenting you might want to take questions over to the MT boards since Mort seems busy with real life and can no longer work on the guide. I'm only going to answer this question just because might as well while I'm at it.

Haven't played a while and not going to confirm any of the things I'm saying just going off what I know and remember.

Magic Infuser's ultimate is not based off his damage. Basically for every attack he does he shoots a shockwave. I think the shockwave is casted before he attacks which is why you can do the trick mentioned in the guide. Having a higher attack only helps finishing off enemies hurt from his ultimate but doesn't actually make it stronger. This is really just a guess since I've never confirmed this, but as far as I know while it is possible to have spells get stronger with stat increase enfo mt doesn't do it.

Debates are better with more people like the MT forums however it's not saying this site is useless. Think of here as a reference.

I'm quite busy with my rl atm, as Blackmagister wrote, I'll continue working on the guide somewhere in Nov/Dec as i got tons of things to do, both personal and work related.

However I'll try and answer the questions on the forum when i get the time for it.

the monster2 is hitting by ur ulti(ulti dmg only)
but monster1 gets both ur physical dmg and ur ulti dmg

Correct, when you hit a creep it will get the physical and damage from your ultimate, ultimate will also damage creeps behind the creep you hit.

So to answer your initial question:

if u acquire swords, does it add on ur ulti?

No, the damage is as posted above, bound to the current level of Bracers.
Getting higher attackspeed is good for several reasons:
1. You will get out more of your ultimate, if you don't use Stop.
2. Other abilities will be better, as it increases the chance of getting the stun & armor reduction.

Having a higher attack only helps finishing off enemies hurt from his ultimate but doesn't actually make it stronger

That's subjective, sure it don't make it stronger, however it increases the efficiency when using it.

thx both of u

so based on the conclusion above, I think zirc ring is slightly better than telo;
since u can combo it later, and hit more times while ulti is activate(means more dmg u can make during that period of time)
and increase the chance to cast hammer / axe

[marx]

With the "s" trick there is no need to get agi ring. If you are good at it lets just say ur all set in terms of attack speed during ulty.

So get a bloodstone.

[BlackMagister]

Just going off what I was talking to someone about that Glythtide's Gift is a good counter to Magic Infuser, it is not. It's only good for canceling his normal attack, move and the disorientation. However all of his skills still work even if he misses, he can still stun and reduce armor and of course use his ultimate.
