Tips

 * Mask of Madness is the most cost efficient Attack Speed item in the game, Costing only 18 gold per point of Attack speed. It also gives the highest movement speed boost.
 * Some heroes with high damage output with right-clicks can easily counter the 30% damage taken with the given lifesteal, such as Sven and Tiny.
 * Picking up this item along with a maelstrom very early on gives lots of damage as well as fast farming speed for an insanely cheap cost.
 * You can combine it with a blade mail, the damage amplification will work with the return.
 * Because the item gives a lot of attack speed you can buy a Skull Basher directly after.
 * The active can be used to engage to get a good positionning, to join a fight, to gank, escape or hit and run (sniper) and for farming the jungle.
 * When fighting you must permanently lifesteal to stay alive, combine it with a Black King Bar for the magic immunity to avoid to get stunned.
