Dota Underlords – Items Tier List
Items Tier List
Once again, Rated per tier because some items would just not be worth it otherwise.
Tier 1
- Embarrassment of riches
- Brooch of the martyr
- Soul Sucking Syphon
- Chainmail
- Blight Stone
- Unstable Reactor
- Claymore
- Vitality booster
- Strange Bedfellows
- Gloves of haste
- Cloak
- Boots of travel
Embarrassment of riches dominates this tier quite significantly, and really should be a tier 2 item, but this tier actually has a fair few strong items, and a fair few weaker ones. I personally rated strange bedfellows rather low because while it defines the demon-hunter synergy, the synergy itself is rather weak.
Tier 2
- Smuggler
- Octarine Essence
- Blademail
- Silver Lining
- Mask of Madness
- Brooch of the Aggressor
- Forged in battle
- Aegis of the Immortal
- Arcane Boots
- Unstoppable
- Coordinated Assault
- Tooth and Claw
- Fall From Grace
- Completing the cycle
- Indomitable will
- Age of Chivalry
- Summoning Stone
- Blink Dagger
Again, anything that improves your chances of getting items or heroes you want are extremely powerful items, and while there a lot of powerful items on this tier, it also has 2 of the weakest in the game, in blink dagger and summoning stone.
Tier 3
- A higher class of criminal
- Hunter’s Focus
- Check the bodies
- Eye of Skadi
- Sacred Relic
- Vanguard
- Mekanism
- Dragon’s Hoard
- Final Flash
- Wicked Intent
- Retaliate
- Skull Basher
- Elusive Targets
- Hood of Defiance
- Pocket Sand
- Font of creation
- Shaman Pluck
The top of each tier shouldn’t really be a surprise to anyone. However, one item that i’ve rated mid-tier that should probably be higher is wicked intent, because by having 4 heartless (Which is made easier with fall from grace) should just completely negate enemy healing, making the warlock synergy completely useless, as well as a few other items and heroes.
Tier 4
- Friends and Family Discount
- Black King Bar
- Refresher Orb
- Radiance
- Daedalus
- Moon shard
- Battlefury
- Dagon
- Maelstrom
- Vicious intent
If you get FaFD early, then you will save so much more money than everyone else in the game, almost guaranteeing a win. however, I recommend never picking up vicious intent, as by the time you can get it in the game, most people are gonna be on too low a health count for it to even matter, as you’d normally be able to kill them in 1-2 rounds anyways, and people who are falling behind can’t pick it up because they would need the other items to help them actually win rounds.
Tier 5
- Expanded Roster
- Heart of Tarrasque
- Desperate measures
- Recruiter
- Assault Cuirass
- Shiva’s guard
- Bloodthorn
- Divine Rapier
Expanded Roster is easily the best item in all of underlords, as an 11th hero can either make an extra really strong synergy, or you can use a flex pick like Kunkka or Tidehunter to allow for massive CC in an otherwise less CC heavy roster.
Divine Rapier is more likely to throw a game than win it, so i consider it far too much a risk to try and use it.
