SyllaBear Item Build
In-depth Explanation
SyllaBear Item Build
Jungling Starting Item: Quelling Blade (225) (Sylla) + Stout (250) (Bear) + Healing Salve
QB increase damage against creeps and Stout let your bear tank more. After the bear gains Entangle (Spirit Bear level 3), put QB at Sylla since the damage does not stack with Entangle.

Situational: Gloves (500) (Bear) + Recipe (1400)= Hand of Midas (1900) (Sylla)
Only get Midas if you are able to farm it in timely manner (8' into the game) or JUST SKIP IT.

Boots (bear) + Gloves (Bear) + Gloves (Bear) (1500)
Bear has 345 BASE movement speed and 385 with maxed synergy. With only boots and maxed rabid it has 522 movement speed. Bear needs attackspeed more than movement speed especially early game when entangle is the strongest. Therefore we get 2 gloves so he will have 30% attack speed. Treads is bad because it gives 5% less attack speed and movement speed/stats is wasted, and only 100 gold cheaper. It's better to just spend 100 more gold for the 5% attack speed. The boots will eventually upgraded to Phase boots, but upgrading early is not good because it only give more wasted movement speed with no attack speed.

Radiance (5125) (Bear)
Bear is the best Radiance carrier in the world of DotA, since it is almost impossible to kill, imba movement speed, and increases the Bear's tanking capability (attracts people to attack the bear instead of your teammates). Syllabear can farm it in 20 minutes at most, when the 30 damage per second (already minus resistance) still hurts as hell. It is devastating to paper heroes like Rhasta, Puck, and other Agi/Int heroes, and is great to finish the red-hp heroes. You can also assist your team in gank that you’re unable to join (e.g. low hp) with radiance sparkles and bear block.

Assault Cuirass (Bear/Sylla)
Put Platemail and Chainmail to Sylla while keeping the Hyperstone at bear. When you finish AC, put in on Bear when you solopush so it can finish tower/creeps quickly, and put it on Sylla when team battle is going to clash.

Average/Pub items
S&Y
There are better orbs for Sylla than Maim. Besides, SnY gives everything you already have, a meh attackspeed/ms/HP/maim while Rabid already gives decent attack speed and movement speed, True form gives HP, Entangle gives disable that procs often only with 2 gloves. It's like getting Lothar for NA, kinda works but not the best.
