The post is Rikimaru Item Build for RTS Game "DotA"
ITEM BUILD
Starting Items
Starting Gold (603) - 1x Healing Slave (100) - Tangoes of Essafation (90) - Slippers of Agility (300) - GG Branch (106) = Remaining Gold (9)
The starting items are rather basic, Riki needs a little of everything at the start, damage for last hitting, strength for survival, intelligence to Blink and Smoke Screen. One tango and one salve gives you a good combination of low heal for when you take a few hits, and burst heal for when you take a lot. You should grab some slippers as you're probably going to make a PMS or some Wraiths. Lastly, grab some GG branches because you're going to go Beyond Godlike and the enemy needs to know it.
Early Game
Power Treads (1450) + Magic Wand (509) + PMS (550) + Scroll of TP (135) = Total Cost (2644)
Boots of Speed (500) + Magic Wand (509) + 3x Wraith Band (1455) + Scroll of TP (135) = Total Cost (2599)
Power Treads is what I usually buy first, the stats it gives are needed early and the movespeed advantage is a bonus since you are a chasing hero. Alternatively, a few Wraiths give you a better AS and Damage boost while still giving a decent HP increase. Magic Wand is probably the best new item in the game, and it is easy to collect charges when you're invisible, so grab one you joker. I either turn my Slippers into an early PMS, or Wraith Bands. Lastly, a TP scroll is necessary.

Mid Game
Power Treads (1450) + Diffusal Blade Level 1 (3300) + Magic Wand (484) + PMS (550) + Scroll of TP (135) = Total Cost (5919)
The only thing you need to worry about getting during mid game is Diffusal Blade, which rounds out your hero.

Late Game
Power Treads (1450) + Diffusal Blade Level 1 (3300) + Magic Wand (484) + PMS (550) + Scroll of TP (135) + Ultimate Orb (2100) = Total Cost (8019)
All you really need to work towards late game is your choice of luxury item, you can grab a Manta or Butterfly or have some fun with Buriza/Ethereal Blade. It's all about what you want.
Extensions
Butterfly is probably the best DPS item in the game for Rikimaru, not to mention it gives him great survivability. This is a solid extension item if you can farm it.
Manta Style is a great item when paired with Diffusal Blade and is also useful for juking with Blink Strike. The stats fit well with Rikimaru and the MS boost makes you an even more dangerous chaser.
Situational
-> 
Lifesteal isn't awful on Rikimaru but it pales in comparison to Feedback or Maim. I'd only suggest getting this if you randomed Rikimaru against a bunch of tanks or something, where you are going to need the lifesteal to survive.
or 
or 
These orbs are here because they aren't really bad on Rikimaru, they just aren't as good as Feedback. Take them if you want to change it up and have some fun.
Against a physical damage team (Drow, Clinkz, Troll, etc.) this item can be a great escape and a devastating nuke, which makes it a great item. The stats all fit well with Rikimaru. Just don't get this against nukers.
If the enemy is warding heavily you may need to get this. It is much better on your team's tank though. If your team refuses to buy one, consider it.
-> 
This is an essential item in every game, however only buy it if your teammates refuse to (in which case they probably suck... flame accordingly).
