Incohatus the Formless mini-guide (by Overflow)
Well, since there's so many interest about Incohatus the Formles, i will include Overflow_GR's mini guide here. This guide is covering some aspect of Incohatus. But importantly, this mini guide provide list of hero skills that you can/cannot copy or some restriction and even abuse :DIncohatus has no permanent form, but has learned to adapt to the ever-changing field of battle. He has the ability to replicate most spells perfectly, allowing him to use other heroes' abilities against themselves. With this strategy, Incohatus opens up a whole new world of possibilities, allowing him to take the best and worst of all the abilities his allies and enemies have to offer.
Strength - 15 + 1.5
Agility - 14 + 1.3
Intelligence - 27 + 3.5
Attack range of 500.
Movement speed of 300.
There are 3 important things to remember about his skills.
1) The level of the skill copied depends completely on Formless' own skill level. If Formless has a level 4 Unus and uses it on Pudge, it gets a level 4 Meat Hook even if Pudge hasn't fully upgraded it (or even learned it at all).
2) Don't copy skills that use the same base skill. Having both Arc Lightning and Laguna Blade in your skillset will result in using Arc Lightning when trying to use Laguna Blade if both skills are ready.
3) Denique is upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter. Definitely something to consider if there's a powerful ultimate in the game (think Witch Doctor).
Skill build
You should determine your skill build/item build/strategy based directly on ally and enemy hero picks.
Item build
The only items that are always good for Formless are Boots, Bracers/Nulls, Guinsoo's. Anything else is luxury and up to your own judgment of each game.
Combos!
The possibilities are endless. Even if you don't think that your allies and enemies have skills worth copying, you'll be amazed at the results of some combinations. You don't have to learn something as crazy as Meat Hook - Blink - Maledict - Rupture to be effective.

Very nice "mini-guide".
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit disapointing thinking about skill builds and then finding out half the skills can't be copied T_T At least know I'll know which ones can't be.
ReplyDeleteWow you actually did! Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteAnd a little edit the "Finger of Death" is missing in the "Chain Lightning Based"
Edit by Overflow a while ago.
still alot of spells cannot be steal, since scripting them to be 'stealable' is easy.
