Brief explanation to skill builds:

1. Land Mines is your main farming tool to get up to your 1st important item (Mystic Staff). Use this as your main farming tool, Place this on runes' spot, on some strategic location that might kill heroes.

2. Suicide is taken up to level 2 only. The reason is because this guide is not a guide which concentrate on suicide. 2 levels of suice is taken though so that when the opportunity of it occurs, we can still manage to kill the enemy heroes.

3. Statis Trap is our main tool towards end game. This is what makes techie still so powerful during late game, and what makes him such a good team player.

4. Remote Mines, same as Land Mines, more to that later.

C. Item Build

Recommended Item Build:

Starting items:
12 clarity potion / 1 shoe + 5 clarity potion

1. Shoe

2. Void Stone x 2

(This are the first main items that you should hit to get ASAP, shoe so that u can run up faster to farm/suicide, and 2 void so that your mana regen helps u in farming to your next main item faster ....... which is ...... )

1. Mystic Staff

(Once you have gotten 2 void and 1 mystic staff, u can practically cast Land Mines on each coming creep wave with having to worry much about your mana. That is why this will be the most important part of your game.)

Core Items

1. Euls
2. Guinsoo
(You main goal as a team player is to support your team in the form of disabling the opponents. Euls and Guinsoo fit best. Furthermore, their components give you a whole bunch of mana / mana regen, which is what techie desperately needed.)

Luxury Items

(If you are doing pretty well, then You may expend your shoe into a travellers, and get a Shiva to further help your team.)

D1. Goals to remember:

Just before I get into the real thing of techie, let me get this straight.
I've never believe in a successfull team player as a 'suicide' techie all the way. I have never seen a techie player who is very successfull in suiciding all the way till end game. If you suicide too much in early games, you will be significantly out leveled by your opponents, and with the time wasted on reviving, you are actually wasting a lot of your valueble time, which u should be out there farming for your useful items. Without these support items (guinsoo/euls), u won't be able to support your team well. Tell me,how are you gonna put enought statis traps/bombs along the way when u are pushing if u dun have the mana capacity/regen rate?

And so, here it goes. This guide is about being a support techie hero, which are decently useful and be able to hold on their lane in the beginning of the game, considerably helpful in mid games, and very powerful in supporting your team mates in late game. Imagine, 6 sec stun from your statis trap, guinsoo, cyclone,rinse and repeat .........you get that idea ;)

Here are the main goals that you need to focus on if you would like to play and be a strong supporting hero as techie to your team.

1. Farm as fast as possible to your 2 void stone.

2. Next goal ==> Mystic Staff (Most important item)

After that, it 's all up to you. You may complete your euls first, or your guinsoo first, or anything else which u deem fit, because once you have got your 2 void stones + Mystic Staff, you practically won't have to worry much about your mana.

So .... remember ..... the most important goal throughout your whole game is to ...............

1. Farm as fast as possible to your 2 void stone.

2. Next goal ==> Mystic Staff (Most important item)

D2. Walkthrough by game stages:

D2a. Early / Mid game:

Remember your goal? 2 Void stones. That's right.

Get your 12 clarity potion, and run into mid lane. Start placing mines at some strategic locations. Don't be stingy on your clarity potion. Use it. Quickly place mines and keep drinking your clarity potion. You may put mines at the rune spots. 4 x Land Mines during early games should be suffice to kill most heroes. Hopefully u will be able to complete placing 4 mines before the 1st horn starts and the creeps clashing in the middle of the river.

After that, you can start your normal play.

If you have the chance to suicide and kill your opponent, do not hesitate to do so. It gives u 100gold, as well as a free trip back to the fountain to recharge.

Use your mines to farm creeps.

Once u hit level 4 Land Mines, you can start farming more efficiently.

A level 4 land mines, if placed properly, can immediately kill the range creeps, and damage all the melee creeps, leaving with only a single hit to kill. If you manage to place the land mines, and then immediately fire 2 shots, one at each of the enemy melee creeps which is not being targeted, you are guaranteed to pocket a 4-creep-kill, somewhat around 150-200 gold.

And if u are at mid lane, sentenial, that would be even better. Once you get all the creep kills, your ally creep will push over to the opponent side. While waiting for the next creep wave to arrive, quickly go into the forest, and plant a Land Mine at the nearest neutral creep camp. As that nearest creep camp (the one nearest to the mid tower) will always spawn the cheapest creep, by placing only 1 of your Level4 lane mines there, this will grant u an immediate kill of the entire camp of creeps. After you've done this, quickly run back to your mid lane, and if you do this correctly, your lane mine is ready and is waiting for you to pocket another 150-200gold on the coming enemy creeps.

Rinse an repeat, and this won't be too difficult to get your into your 2 void stones and your mystic staff.

D2c. Late game:

if you are able to hit level 16 (your Remote mines whould be at level 3 right now) by 45min, then you have hit the jackpot !!! 1 single remote mine will kill the entire creep wave !!!!!!

But worry not, even if u didn't achieve that, a lane mine + a remote mine will instantly kill an entire creep wave. Just make sure that you don't overdo it before you get your Euls + Guinsoo. It might be to taxing to your mana pool.

Late game will be when you have got your Mystic Staff. Once you have got your Mystic staff, you should be actively participating in Ganks. Go around, help your team mates, your main skill now is ........ STATIS TRAP !!!

Whenever there's team clash / ganks, wait for everyone to get into the battle, then run up, place a STATIS TRAP there, and use your Euls/Guinsoo/Shiva/etc ...... Rinse and repeat.

When pushing, place STATIS trap along the lane whenever the cooldown is ready. This is because, if your team lose out in that particular push, the statis trap that u planted along the lane might save their lives during the retreat.

Plant lots of statis traps on forest, on hiding spots, on roshan, on anywhere you deem fit. Just plant it.

E. Conclusion

I've layed out all the basic that you need in order to be a good techie support player. The rest of it is up to you to go and explore , and experience it yourself. With more game plays, experience will tell you what you should do at the most appropriate time. And again, before I end this, let me remind you again on the goals that you should be ahieving ............

1. Farm as fast as possible to your 2 void stone.

2. Next goal ==> Mystic Staff (Most important item)

And with that ............Happy BOMBING !!!!!!
