Puck Item Build DotA
Bracers: These help you compensate for that squishiness of yours.


Bottle: A Ganker's best friend, don't gank without it.


Boots: Duh, this can be upgraded to either Phase, or BoT


TP: Don't ever leave base without it, or until you go for BoT


Sheepstick: I recently tested going for this first and it works great. The additional stats gives huge survivability and early 3.5 sec disable is pretty awesome.

Shiva's The item literally made for Puck. This adds additional firepower and slow for your usual combo.

Bloodstone: Gives Puck a huge boost of health and mana that he really needs, and a good source of regen to boot.

Puck Item Build DotA
Phase Boots: A cheap recipe to go for with the good boost of +20 MS, +16 Damage and +5 Armor, which Puck mostly lacks, and helps in chasing enemies with it.







Puck Item Build DotA
BoT: Your free-instant defend and push teleport item. Only recommended though when late game comes and you need to defend more often.







Puck Item Build DotA
Necronomicon: Sweet item to go for with your combo. The aura buff to your allies is great and the Mana Burn adds additional firepower to your attacks, enemies can either stay and get mana burned or run away to be Coil stunned and still be manaburned to death.







Puck Item Build DotA
Force Staff: A fun way to force enemies to break off the coil, although I don't recommend it since there a lot of items to go for which are a lot better, get this if you have core already.







Puck Item Build DotA
Heart: This pretty much solves Puck's pathetic health, but it takes too long to make, and sometimes, you're better off without it. <You've got Phase Shift, remember?>







Puck Item Build DotA
Dagon: If you want additional burst damage to finish or ks a hero quickly, then go for it. Also great in quickly dispatching enemy nukers before they get to do anything.







Puck Item Build DotA
Linken's: A true lifesaver for anyone, especially to fragile heroes like Puck, it gives you another chance to live if you screw up.







Puck Item Build DotA
Ghost Scepter: Very useful against heroes who rely on their auto-attack to deal damage like PA, Troll, etc.; plus Phase Shift cannot dodge them, so this item is really good but situational, and wrong timing means 44% amplified spell damage to you.







Puck Item Build DotA
Eye of Skadi: A late-game item orb for Puck, the slow really helps a lot with chasing down enemies with your teammates.







Puck Item Build DotA
BKB: A really, really situational item, especially when there's a Riki on their team. < I'm not really sure if this blocks/negates any silence effects on him though. >







Puck Item Build DotA
Orchid: A useful item against any enemy spellcasters/initiators and quickly making them useless. Plus, it's a good dps for autoattacking heroes after initiating your combo.







Puck Item Build DotA
Blink Dagger: More and more people say Blink Dagger is good and makes Puck more a bitch to kill, since 3 sec Phase Shift means a 100% safe, uninterrupted blink. Go for it after you have core preferably.


There's still lots more items that are viable for Puck, so test out and find it for yourselves and discuss it here.








Puck Item Build DotA
Mekansm: Going for this is a no-no, even if your helping your team. Problem is at early game, you only have enough mana for your 3-spell combo, adding a Meka makes things harder for you to be mana-efficient, you're better off with offense than defense IMO.







Puck Item Build DotA
Refresher: All of your spells have a reasonably low cooldown, I don't think this is really necessary.







Puck Item Build DotA
Aghanims: Puck isn't included in the list, so why bother?







Puck Item Build DotA
Vanguard: Puck shouldn't take any damage in the first place. If you want survivability, go for other hp increasing items, not damage block items.











Lothar's Edge: Same reasons with Blink.







Puck Item Build DotA
Damage Items: Puck is a spell-oriented hero, nuff said. Besides, Survival > Damage




Puck Item Build DotA
Obviously, in dressing Puck up with items, make sure to prioritize Survivability <Strength and HP> and Intelligence, agility is a shit stat for Puck anyway. So please keep that in mind.
