30-Seconds-Guide:
– The primary focus of Maliken’s laning phase is to farm up Whispering Helm. It is a core item that provides a lot of bonuses early game for Maliken.
– Sword Throw is an amazing tool during the laning stage. It can be used to harass, assist in a gank, or kill an enemy. It comes with a crippling slow as well as a hefty nuke which is dominant in the lane.
– Once Whispering Helm is acquired Maliken should immediately dominate a creep such as Minotaur/Vulture Lord/Catman Champion/Vagabond Leader, and send them off to stack ancients.
– When initiating you should use your Sword Throw, hit as many people as possible, blink in, activate Possession and wait 1-2 seconds for the fear to wear off. After those seconds are up activate your Shrunken Head/Insanitarius.
