Abilities, roles and builds with an explanation for every purchase.
HERO GAME PLANI keep the target in Static Link and force a physical damage core to fight with reduced damage.
With a deadly lightning storm at his command, Razor charges into battle. Deploying a sweeping ring of electrified plasma to fry his enemies, he links with foes to drain them of their power and use it against them.
My recommendation is a starting point. We choose another position together with the team and for its needs.
My resource is the team's space: I hold the lane and build for initiation or team protection.
Levels, lane control and joining the team at the right moment matter.
This is an editorial starting plan based on hero mechanics. It is not presented as a match I have already tested or a popularity ranking.
Here is my initial plan: I do my role's job first, then choose the items the team needs. I adapt the order and expensive purchases to the opponent.
Help maintain close contact and pass through groups of units.
Provides a window for my actions against eligible magical damage and disables. I check effects that pierce the protection.
Adds speed, attributes and durability for a physical damage hero fighting up close.
Adds armor and pressure in an area, helping limit the enemy’s health restoration.
Gives the team armor and attack speed, helping it apply physical pressure to heroes and objectives.
Refresher Orb ↗Lets you repeat your main power window. Before buying, I consider whether I will have enough mana for both casts.
Heaven's Halberd ↗Restricts a dangerous physical damage dealer’s attacks and adds survivability.
Aghanim's Scepter ↗Unlocks or upgrades Eye of the Storm. The exact effects are shown below in the abilities section.
I do not assign one ‘correct’ minute to every purchase. I look at my gold, the next fight and the problem: am I missing mana, target access, control or protection? If an expensive slot will arrive too late, I get a useful answer earlier.

Releases a wave of energetic plasma that grows in power as it expands, but also zaps on contraction, slowing and dealing damage to enemy units caught in its path. Damage and slow increases with distance from Razor. The Plasma Field hits each unit twice, once each direction.
Creates a charged link between Razor and an enemy Hero, stealing damage from the target and giving it to Razor. Allows Razor to attack while moving with the link active.

Increases cast range. While the link is active, its target is slowed based on the damage stolen.
When the ability’s owner is attacked, there is a chance that the attacker and several nearby enemies are struck by lightning, damaging and slowing them. This effect always triggers when the hero is targeted by a spell.
There's a chance when attacked, and always when targeted with a spell, to release a forked lightning that strikes the target and other nearby enemies, prioritizing the unit type of the attacker, dealing damage and slowing movement speed.
While Eye of the Storm is active, lightning has 2 times the chance to trigger and a cooldown reduced by 2 sec., striking all enemies within the ultimate’s radius. Cannot strike the same unit twice in one trigger.
A powerful lightning storm strikes out at the enemy unit with the lowest health, dealing damage and reducing armor.

Causes Eye of the Storm to strike two different units instead of one and can damage structures. When striking buildings, it will only target towers, barracks, and the Ancient.
These abilities are not necessarily available at the same time. I check the condition beside the name: innate ability, another form or an Aghanim purchase.
