Akasha :- The Queen of Pain
Akasha is one of the many souls claimed by the Blade, Frostmourne. Raised to serve the Lich King as a Banshee, she desired to become pure substance once more. Driving deep into the forests, she was able to subdue and posses a Succubus minion. Rightly bearing the title, Queen of Pain, she enjoys nothing more than inflicting massive damage on her foes, using both the poisonous strike of her succubus host and the vicious howl retained from her Banshee nature. Akasha breaks her enemies eardrums with torturing screams, some so loud they manifest in powerful waves, that ripple across the lands, shattering all in their wake.
Full write-up on this sexy beast in weeks that follow!
P.S. Yes, the description about her abilities are basically the typical blabber and shrieks that come out of women, when they speak.
She sounds like your everyday run-of-the-mill wife, really. Nags, screams, drains the life out of you and leaves someone else to have sex with you.
The last portion of your comment is really appealing. I wish more women were like that.

Akasha vs Enchantress : Enchantress Early Game, Akasha Late Game
Akasha vs Inverse : Hard to say, inverse’s skills are hard to aim, but early game, akasha would fall to a simple laguna blade, slave combo. Again, late game, Akasha would be superior.
Akasha vs Rylai : Her primary nukes are all target spells, so that may pose some problems, but her ulti is an easy evade. However, I feel in the right hands, Akasha will win late game, we should this this sometime in the future.

How the fuck can enchantress win akasha in early game?
Without or even with level 6 untouchable, enchantress is pretty dead with only 2 nukes.
Late game enchantress pawns akasha anytime.
And you are still the forum’s favourite fatty, even after your fetish for some screams in the ear or maybe poison in the balls?.
Akasha’s nukses are heavily dependent on her small mana pool early game.
Aiushtha can easily harass her with a few throws of her insane impetuses.. And wait for the best moment to toss one more for the kill.
Unfortunately for Aiushtha, her Untouchable only buffs on physical hits. Akasha can always blink in – scream of pain – poison dagger – psionic wave and we have a pwned Bambi.
I play Aiushtha a lot, not many can touch her early game but late game she is fragile credit to her poor STR gain. She is meat for nukers since physical attacks against her are slowed by 90%.
All she needs to do is activate wisps and take her time prancing out.
Late game Akasha is one of the most feared Intel Dota Heroes. Most intels play support in late game, Akasha can pretty much solo anyone with Aghanims – Skadi – Guinsoo and Dagon maybe ?
Who are you anyway ?

Come join me in a quick 1 v 1 and I’ll show you how enchantress wins Akasha in early game.
So much for the 1v1.
1 on 1 is for noobs anyway. Leave aishta in the hands of most dota players, and they’ll own with it. Same analogy with leaving Razor instead of Chen or Pugna to the noobs. Hehe, I m NOT saying Hypo is a noob but you get the idea. 1v1 lol.
Basically if you are smart enough, you wont be harassed by the impetus. If enchantress gets too close for impetus, she will be nuked (stormbolt, impaled). Any disables for that matter, range for impetus is shorter than most stuns anyway. Only noobs will get some nice arrows in their ass and do nothing while staying near the tower to receive another last blow.
3 nukes at most needed to kill enchantress in early game (Think lina + sven, leshrac + sandking).
In higher level dota, you almost NEVER see any team choose aishta to their lineup of heroes. As in NEVER. No AOE damage, No disables, no skill in initiating battle, can’t push or defend well (well maybe defend is ok).
I agree on the point where you said akasha is one of the most feared INTEL heroes in dota. She has 2 AOE spells, she can slow, she can blink in to initiate or to escape, she can clear creeps (pushes and defends like crazy). That’s why she deserves to be NERFED big time on 6.52c.
Aghanims – Skadi – Guinsoo and Dagon. That’s quite a liquid dream for most player, but no you are wrong. Before you can farm those items, game already ended FFS. Unless again you play with some noobs who farm all game instead of pushing and ganking around midgame.
It’s Aiushtha. A I U S H T H A !
That aside. Why reject a 1v1 quickie ? It’s just an experiment to prove a point, whether Aiushtha’s JAVELINS ( not arrows ) are insane harassing tools. However smart one is, you can’t avoid a target cast every now and then.
The nuke combo you mentioned above can kill any hero below lvl6 early game. Eventhough we are talking about enchantress here, any hero of the given 80+ can fall prey to that combo early game.
I don’t guite get your analogy with razor and chen and pugna and what not. And yes, I think you are a noob.
Aiushtha is not a league hero. Thanks for pointing that out. She is a support hero, come on dude, think about it. Healing wisps, a slow , 1 passive~Untouchable(#2 best passive in Dota behind AM’s Manabreak) and her Impetus. Most players(even Pros) build her with Meka – Guinsoo.
Play in the Euro High LEvel Rooms in GG, I guarantee you that you will see such builds on late game Akasha. But the build order might different, Guinsoo 1st, followed by the Aghanims and then Skadi. Dagon is kinda useless on her, my bad on putting it there. After her primary nukes and a few physical hits, most the enemies are dead.
Still yet to answer my Question, Who are you ?
VK@Dr|ftking
I am not challenging you to a 1 v 1 to show you who is the better player, merely to illustrate my point that Enchantress will win in solo lane against Akasha early game. It has nothing to do about me being Pro or you being a noob. No matter how imba you think you are, you will get harrassed by a couple of impetus’.
3 nukes is all that it takes to kill her? I agree, but what’s your point exactly, who is claiming her to be a tank? Akasha would fall to a similar assault anyways, if stunned, no blinking.
I know, in competitive play, Enchantress is not chosen, and I am not saying she is a competitive pick, and I fail to realize how you have come to the conclusion that I’ve called enchantress imba or something when my entire article revolves around Akasha and not enchantress? Furthermore, my point was simple about how enchantress dominates the early game portion of the game.
In all competitive play, Guinsoo is pretty much stock for Akasha, and she needs it to really own. The rest, are just optional items you see on pub stomps. HLR 1 in GG is not exactly comparable to say IHCS anyways.
P.S. Akasha got nerfed in 6.52c, I believe.
It’s Aiushtha. A I U S H T H A !

Agree, my bad. At least there is an escape mechanism for akasha, so 1 point to her.
That aside. Why reject a 1v1 quickie ? It’s just an experiment to prove a point, whether Aiushtha’s JAVELINS ( not arrows ) are insane harassing tools. However smart one is, you can’t avoid a target cast every now and then.
This is true but funny at the same time. Mistake 1. Wander to near into impetus range, and run back = mistake 2. Mistake 3. Not countering impetus when the range of your spell is near enough to be casted even before she casts impetus/ even if you got hit by impetus, it will be minimal.
Aiushtha is not a league hero. Thanks for pointing that out. She is a support hero, come on dude, think about it. Healing wisps, a slow , 1 passive~Untouchable(#2 best passive in Dota behind AM’s Manabreak) and her Impetus. Most players(even Pros) build her with Meka – Guinsoo.
Support hero, agree here again. Healing wisps might/might not be casted before she is dead. Usually the intel heroe will be the sacrificed ducks in team clash. Slow is not such a good spell, I think many prefer to use it to dominate centaurs instead, but the slow is only good in chasing. 2nd best passive? Not really, I prefer Ursa, and AM manabreak ok maybe 1 of the best. But who is going to kill enchantress with pure physical damage? It’s crazy and almost not possible in early game.
Yes I do play on Euro High Level Rooms in GG.

Ok back to the main point. I’m a fan of akasha, I choose her often in AP and she is definitely 1 perfect hero (semicarry, maybe even carry the game if she farms well, initiate battle, 2 AOE spells and 1 escape mechanism). But I still think AIUSHTA (happy now VK? sry, I couldn’t really remember the spelling) is inferior to Akasha early game, at least to most mage heroes. Late game she is the gem of the team.
P.S. Akasha got nerfed in 6.52c, I believe.
I dont know you in person, so I will take it as sarcasm. Long CD for ulti without scepter aghanim. 1 extra sec CD for blink making it 6secs now.
Those are not the only changes, scream of pain now costs the same mana at all levels, making it less spam-able at the lower stages, perhaps allowing getting shadow strike early on a viable option?
Fucking dota nerds
