3. Item build
3.1 To start with:





Pebbles has a low mana pool and low armor. These items should allow you to survive and also gank until you need to come back to the fountain. Always keep a health potion as well; it might get you out of critical situations and save you from going back to the fountain to heal.
3.2 Then..



or


Pebbles has a movement speed of 285, so the marchers are important to get first, complete talisman of exile. Now, there is a choice between ring of sorcery and bottle. Ring of sorcery will allow you to regain mana and any ally thats near when upon activation whereas bottle will heal you by 135 hp and regen 70 mana over 3 seconds. Depending on how well you are doing, buy what you can afford. Most people would go for bottle so that they can get other items earlier. Portal key is a must since Pebbles has strong but melee AOE spells. Portal key is great for pebbles but not as good as it was for tiny, nevertheless it is still an item to go for. It will allow you to get in the action and finish the enemy and even escape from harsh situations.
3.3 Mid-late game items




Steamboots gives you more health and move speed, but the best thing is you can change them to intelligence later, so you will have a greater mana pool. Frostplate would be a very good item for pebbles since it will give you more tanking abilities, greater mana pool and slows the enemy. This combined with portal key will be devastaing, not to mention stalagmites to put the cherry on the cake.
4. Hero Specific Strategies and Techniques
4.1 Laning
Pebbles has a good disable and this should be taken into consideration. To begin with, team up with an ally that has a disable would be great since then it will be easier to get those kills early on in the game. If you are getting harassed much, don't hesitate to move ahead and stalagmites him and use chuck to cause even more damage. Remember to deny and last creep hit and always stay in motion so as to avoid nukes from the opponents. Remember call for "miss" when there is 1 or more enemy hero missing in your lane, this will allow your team mates to be on their guards.
4.2 Ganking
This can be done easily as from LvL9, as you can leave your lane, allowing your teammate to gain experience, while you go and help gank on other lanes. The chuck ability is also very useful in ganking since you can throw and ally on a running enemy to finish him off or you could go around the enemy and throw him to your allies followed by stalagmites to kill him; he will not even know what hit him.
4.3 Escaping Ganks
If you are getting ganked, use your stalagmites to stun them and run away. if the enemy is close to you, just use chuck to throw them away from you and if it is mid game, just blink away using the portal key. Map awareness is also very important; remember, to check the mini maps all the time to see if there are people on the map. if you see no enemy heroes you can guess that they might be coming for you.

ReplyDeleteThe best pub-stomping hero imo. If the enemies don't harass or aren't aggressive enough, pebbs gets so overpowered...
