Dota 2 new item dragon lance

Sounds daft right but looking at it you get +15 str and +15 agi for 1.9k gold. Sure you don’t get the extra range but it’s still pretty stat efficient.

Could be a good pick up if it’s a rough game on stat centred carried to get you through the mid game. Slark/PL/TB/Spectre? can’t think of anymore but I’m sure there are.

Would try it myself but I don’t fancy playing in LP.

S&Y has more stats and good passives for a slightly higher price.

SY gives +16 str and agility instead of 15. Yes it is better because you also get maim/MS/AS/Dmg but the ‘slightly higher’ price is over double the cost.

You could actually buy 2 dragon lances and have 300 gold spare over an SnY.

Obviously given a free choice would pick SnY but I still think dragon Lance is better for the cost.

tried it on tb, it’s not that bad depending your opponents

I think it use is more for heros like DK, CK, Lifestealer, Tiny, Treant even ES, though I personally wouldn’t for Treant or ES. Heros that deal a lot of damage but have a slow attack speed and disadvantaged by the fact they are melee and must stay in range to attack.

The extra range doesn’t work with melee heroes. You would get it for the stats which almost none of the heroes you’ve mentioned really need.

You can break S&Y down into it’s component parts to make other late-game items with it though. If the match goes longer than 40 minutes and you’re farming well, then the real issue for Dragon lance is that it’s a mid-game item occupying a slot AND you’re losing half the effect. I’ve bought Dragon Lance occasionally on DK and Troll just for gits and shiggles, but it’s not worth it for most melee heroes IMO. There’s other stuff with decent stats that you can get the full benefit of for not much more cost in most cases.

Sange you can only turn into a Halberd and Yasha only into a Manta. Dota 2 new item dragon lance No SnY carry is really going to want to get a halberd in most games. Sure some can build Manta but again there’s really no diversity.

Late game options for SnY is to turn it into a Manta and sell the Sange for most SnY carries which is why you often see it kept until they can sell it and completely replace it (and it’s rare the game will go that far).

Dragon Lance is much more flexible. You can build the ogre club into BKB/Sange/Aghs/(Echo Sabre) and a Band of Elvenskin into a Yasha to compliment the Sange (from Ogre club) or into Manta. Dota 2 new item dragon lance Sure you lose one of the bands so it’s 225 gold lost but I think that’s OK honestly.

Seems like the perfect item if you’re later game options are going to be delayed.
