Modifiers
Buff Spiked Carapace: Undispellable.
Debuff Stunned: Dispellable with strong dispels.
While their carapaces are relatively thin, they`re guarded by a retractable field of razor-sharp spikes.

Notes:

  • Only reflects player based damage directly towards the damage dealer. A unit can only be affected once per cast.
  • Has a higher priority than Aphotic Shield and Living Armor, but lower than False Promise. Be that as it may, it still reflects and stuns when combined with False Promise.
  • Although the damage dealt to enemies is equal to the amount of damage blocked, the effects work independently from each other.
    • This means Spiked Carapace always blocks one damage instance, even when the source is spell immune or invulnerable.
  • The reflected damage has the no-reflection flag, preventing its damage from interacting with other sources of damage with that flag.
  • Spiked Carapace has a global range and affects units through the Fog of War or invisibility.
  • When cast while Burrowed, the spell immediately applies its stun to all enemies within its radius.
    • Since Spiked Carapace has no base damage, hit units are not damaged upon cast.
    • Nyx Assassin still receives the cast buff normally, which can still reflect damage and stun enemies.
    • Be that as it may, the buff does not affect enemy units which have been hit by the stun upon cast. They can normally damage Nyx.

Modifiers
Buff Vendetta: Undispellable.
The scarab kills for the glory of his queen.

Notes:

  • The attack out of Vendetta cannot miss.
  • Vendetta`s damage is applied in a separate damage instance, before the attack damage.
  • The bonus damage is not added to Nyx` attack damage.
    • This means that its damage is unaffected by e.g. Enfeeble or Empower.
    • This also means that Nyx cannot lifesteal off it and the damage cannot crit or cleave.
  • Vendetta allows Nyx to pass through other units, including wards, but not through buildings.
  • Nyx can pick up, drop or attack items and runes without breaking the invisibility.

Notes:

  • The cast of Burrow is not registered as a spell cast and thus does not proc any on-cast effects.
  • Burrow lasts until unburrowing or using Vendetta.
  • Nyx Assassin can still be moved by spells and can still teleport while burrowed, without getting unburrowed.

Recommended items

Starting items:

  • Tango and Healing Salve give Nyx Assassin basic health sustain, allowing him to continue laning despite enemy harass.
  • Poor Man`s Shield improves Nyx Assassins resistance to attacks by reducing their damage by 20, as well as almost a full point of armor. This helps withstanding enemy hero harass in the offlane, and potentially trading hits with them. Because Nyx Assassin is an agility hero, it also gives 6 damage and attack speed, making last hitting easier.

Early game:

  • Boots of Speed allows Nyx Assassin to chase or flee enemies more easily, and is important for getting within range to cast Impale on a gank target.
  • Arcane Boots are crucial to obtain in order to allow Nyx Assassin to roam for ganks. It increases the size of Nyx Assassin`s mana pool, allowing him to more easily cast his full combo of spells, and boosts his movement speed slightly to provide extra mobility. Most importantly, the active allows Nyx Assassin to replenish his own mana pool in order to ensure that he is able to continue roaming without needing to return to base as often.
  • Ring of Health Gives Nyx Assassin extra health regeneration, paired with Arcane Boots and an occasional shrine usage allows to almost never go back to base. The item builds into Aether Lens later on.

Core items:

  • Aghanim`s Scepter unlocks Burrow, which can give Nyx Assassin`s team a strong advantage when sieging or defending, by improving Impale, Mana Burn and Spiked Carapace abilities - reducing their cooldown and increasing cast range. The burrow ability also significantly boosts Nyx`s Health and Mana regeneration, allowing to disassemble the Arcane Boots and use Energy Booster part for Aether Lens.
  • Aether Lens improves cast range on Impale and Mana Burn and any active single target items Nyx has (like Eul`s Scepter and Dagon), as well as slightly boosts their damage. It synergises greatly with Burrow, which also improves abilities cast range, providing a whooping 1570 units maximum range on Impale and 1370 on Mana Burn. This
  • Town Portal Scroll is important to have on all heroes at all times. Nyx Assassin`s ability to initiate and kill using Vendetta means that global positioning is key for allowing him to capitalize on any opportunities to secure kills.
  • An occasional mid-game Clarity brought together with other items allows Nyx Assassin to replenish his mana pool while not fighting, which is crucial since most of his spells will consume almost half his base mana pool with a single cast. Having the mana to continue casting gives Nyx Assassin more chances to use his disables to score kills.

Situational items:

  • Eul`s Scepter of Divinity is a strong casting item that boosts Nyx Assassin`s ability to roam and gank. The increased intelligence and mana regen help to sustain his spell casting, ensuring that he doesn`t have to return to base to replenish mana, and the increased movement speed gives him more mobility for hunting down enemies. The cyclone can be used to dispel debuffs from Nyx Assassin while providing temporary invulnerability, or can be cast on an enemy as a further disable or to guarantee an Impale land.
  • Blink Dagger greatly increases Nyx Assassin`s mobility, allowing him to jump on top of enemies and initiate without relying on Vendetta. In particular, being able to quickly re-position to cast Impale can allow Nyx Assassin to stun multiple enemy heroes at the start of a fight, and in a pinch Spiked Carapace can be used to prevent enemy initiating nukes from putting it on cooldown.
