Tips

 * The Manta Style is not effective on ranged heroes excepted with heroes with attack modifiers that works on illusions like Luna Moon Glaive bounce, Drow Ranger's high agility and Morphling which mostly buy stats items that benefits illusions.
 * Recommended items to get with Manta Style are those that gives attack speed, mana burn, stats, evasion, movement speed, damage block, auras, attack range (ranged heroes).
 * Damage Items:
 * : if you focus on damage, this item gives a massive 120 attack speed to you and your illusions. Combined with Mana Burn this can melt the entire mana pool of your enemy in few seconds. Be careful the illusions doesn't get the 60 attack speed if consumed. On Chaos Knight the illusions will proc more critical strikes and lifesteal (lifesteal only works with Chaos Knight).
 * : the item will give 35 attack speed and an additionnal 35 damage to agility heroes and will add mana burn to your illusions. It is more useful on melee agility heroes to burn more mana, a strength or intelligence hero will prefer to go for instead if mana burn is needed.
 * : this will add critical hit to your illusions, having one or two moon shard will allow to proc it a lot more.
 * : the illusions get the full attack speed and will hit harder with the 5 armor reduction aura but they will only get protected by the 5 armor aura because they can't use armor. Prefer combining moon shard with a survivability item.
 * : the illusions get the 80 attack speed.
 * Survivability and damage Items:
 * : add a lot of damage to your illusions and 35 % evasion. If you aren't using an agility hero the moon shard will give more damage.
 * : this increases the survivability of your illusions and gives 45 damage to a strength hero. If you have picked an agility hero prefer buying an Eye of Skadi or Butterfly for the agility stats.
 * : will increase the survivability of your illusions and give 25 damage and attack speed to any type of hero. Your hero only will get movement and attack slow on attack.
 * : gives 10 strength and makes your hero immune to most magic abilities.
 * : add 25 strength to your illusions and does not drain HP on them. The illusions also get the attack speed but not the raw damage.
 * : block 40 damages on melee illusion and gives 250 HP. They will be able to tank creep and towers.
 * Optionnal Items:
 * : this item gives a lot of stats for his price. It increase the attack range of ranged heroes.
 * : since Manta Style's illusions do not last quite long, Radiance is not as wise to build with Manta Style, as the burn damage does not stack and the illusions typically do not last long enough to travel from one area to another and deal the burn damage. On some heroes, however, it is still useful for farming and split pushing at the same time.
 * : will give 15 additional stats for every types, mana regen and more survivability against disablers especially stuns and hex.
 * Not recommended:
 * : the illusions doesn't get any of the active of the Mask of Madness.
 * The active of the Manta Style applies a basic dispel, so it can replace a against a, , or.
 * The illusions are good against an hero carrying a Skull Basher, they will have 2/3 chances to bash your illusion.
 * An can be helpful if you are constantly summoning illusions to push lanes.
 * Doesn't work with Lone Druid's Spirit Bear.
 * The illusions can be used to scout to secure your farming, prepare a gank or before attacking Roshan. They are useful to deward and destroy Techies' mines but they don't get True Sight from Gem.
