Notes:
  • The attack damage is added as bonus attack damage, and therefore does not benefit illusions.
  • Cooldown reduction affects abilities and items. Stacks multiplicatively with Octarine Core and additively with Arcane Rune.
  • Upgrading health increases maximum health capacity and keeps the current health percentage.
  • The spell lifesteal stacks additively with that of Octarine Core.
  • The spell lifesteal heals for 14% from non-hero units. Treats creep-heroes as creeps and does not heal off of illusions.

Recommended items

Stating Items:

Early Game:

  • Getting a Bottle will provide her with reliable health and mana regeneration. Queen of Pain`s Blink ability grants her almost incontestable rune control allowing her to easily replenish Bottle charges.
  • Boots of Speed give an increase in movement speed which can be very useful, especially when Blink is unavailable.
  • Magic Stick gives you much needed burst regen which can be used in emergency situations.
  • Null Talisman can be purchased to make last hitting even easier. This can be sold when not needed anymore or turned into a Dagon.

Core Items:

  • Magic Wand provides a nice increase to all attributes and burst regen.
  • Power Treads increase Akasha`s attack speed and attributes allowing her to be more durable which allowing her to output sustainable damage.
  • Aghanim`s Scepter hugely reduces Sonic Wave`s cooldown time, ensuring it is always available when it is needed. It also provides a useful increase in Sonic Wave`s damage.
  • Town Portal Scroll should always be carried to safely escape from or enter and contribute to fights.

Situational Items:

  • Akasha has strong burst damage and initiation speed, but lacks a good disable and can be killed easily if she blinks in carelessly. Scythe of Vyse and Orchid Malevolence give her a strong disable to prevent the hero she blinks on from fighting back, as well as plenty of mana regeneration and a damage increase. Scythe of Vyse is better at shutting down right clickers while Orchid is good at stopping spellcasters and escape-oriented heroes.
  • To improve your damage, you can get items like Monkey King Bar, Desolator, and Mjollnir, which is an option if the enemy team has many heroes that can become magic immune or have high magic resistance.
  • For defensive options Eye of Skadi, Shiva`s Guard, and Linken`s Sphere are luxury pickups that make you harder to kill while also providing utility and mana. The slow effects pierce BKB and the added HP/Armor/Spell Shield, respectively, help you survive long enough to blink to safety.
  • Veil of Discord provides good stats at a fair price and the build-up is nice. Get one if your team can use the damage amp, but don`t forget Sonic Wave will not benefit from it.
  • Aether Lens is not too bad either to buff up your damage, the 200 extra range on blink is always nice, though the range is already so good you probably don`t need it for this particular reason. Unfortunately, it doesn`t add the cast range to Scream of Pain.
  • Necronomicon is also good on QoP, it helps you bring towers down and it deals an unsuspected amount of damage if you can blink on top of an opponent and use it immediately. Especially deadly paired up with a Scythe of Vyse.
