Aghanim’s Scepter is the item made most frequently when playing Brewmaster. This item upgrades Brewmasters ultimate by giving it an additional charge and also allowing you to cancel the ability during its duration. What this means is that you can cast Primal Split and split into three different creatures with their own unique abilities, fight the other team for a brief period and then revert back to your original state and do it all again!

Aghanim’s Scepter is great for Brew because:

  • Brew relies on his Primal Splil ultimate to cause havoc in team fights. Aghanim’s Scepter upgrades this ability and allows Brew to use it more frequently and as a result cause more damage.

Get Aghanim’s Scepter if: 

  • You should always make Aghanim’s on Brew however the timing can vary. If you’re playing a support role you should try and rush this item as soon as possible so you can start bothering the opposing team in team fights. If you’re playing Brew more as a core then you can consider picking this item in the mid to late game instead.

14. Tranquil Boots

Tranquil Boots isn’t the most common item on Brewmaster but for someone playing a support role, it offers great utility for a very small price. Tranquil Boots gives Bremaster 65 movement speed and 14 health generation. If you’re playing a support role Tranquil Boots allows Brewmaster to close the gap between opposing enemies and use his spells. It’s also a cheap first item and after getting this you can opt to rush your Aghanim’s Scepter.

Tranquil Boots is great for Brew because:

  • It gives Brew a healthy boost in movement speed and health regen. This reduces any need for Brewmaster to have to return to base frequently. 

Get Tranquil Boots if: 

  • If you’re playing a support role and want to be moving across the map quickly but can’t afford larger movement speed items.

Urn of Shadows is great for Brew because:

  • It’s a cheap item that offers a lot of healthy stats which help make you tankier as a support.

Get Urn of Shadows if:

  • If you’re playing an aggressive game and getting multiple quick kills in the early game.
  • If you’re playing against a team of heroes that have high regeneration abilities. Urn of Shadows can be upgraded to reduce the health regen of targetted enemies.

Aside from a boost in stats Lotus Orb applies a shell on the targetted ally that reflects any targetted spell for six seconds. As Brewmaster likes to go in first he’s often the most targeted hero so having a lotus orb can improve the odds in your favor. While this item isn’t always made on Brewmaster it does boast a high 59% win rate. 

Lotus Orb is great for Brew because:

  • It evens the odds in your favor against single target spell casters. Brewmaster can cast Lotus Orb on himself and run into enemies. If they cast a spell during the duration the Lotus Orb is active they will end up targetting themselves. 

Get Lotus Orb if:

  • You are up against a team of single-target spell casters that are disabling you or your enemy team. With a Lotus Orb, you can potentially use their spells against them and get some more breathing room to cast your own spells.

Vladmir’s Offering is an amazing item that gives Brew and any allies in a 1200 radius additional mana regen, lifesteal and additional damage. Vlads is an item with a 57% win rate on Brewmaster and offers great utility to both Brew and the rest of the team.

Vladmir’s Offering is great for Brew because:

  • Vlad’s gives Brew mana regen and lifesteal making it so that he has less need to frequently return to base. Brew has a low starting intelligence pool so this increase in mana regen comes in handy throughout the game.
  • Brewmaster is also a team fight-oriented hero and these bonuses help not only the team but also the creatures that Brewmaster splits into. 

Get Vlads if:

  • Your team has a weaker time fight potential than the opposing team. Vlad’s can tip the scales somewhat in your team’s favor.

Assault Cuirass is another great item that gives off amazing aura boosts to both Brew and every other ally unit in a given radius. Aside from bonus armor and attack speed to Brew, Assault Cuirass also gives additional bonus armor and attack speed to allies and also reduces the armor of enemies that are near Brew. This is also an item that isn’t as frequently made on Brewmaster but nonetheless has a 68% win rate which is amazing.

Assault Cuirass is great for Brew because:

  • Brewmaster needs to run first into the fight and having additional armor gives him greater survivability enabling him to cast his spells without dying.
  • Brewmaster also doesn’t have high attack speed and this item mitigates that issue while also boosting the attack speed of allies. 

Get Assault Cuirass if:

  • You are against a team with high physical damage as well as high armor. Assault Cuirass will make you stronger against their physical damage and will also reduce their armor in return.

Sange and Yasha is a great mid-game item on Brewmaster. S&Y gives Brewmaster holistic upgrades to all of his important stats and also increases his status resistance which is very important for tanky heroes. The item has a 56% win rate on Brewmaster but should only be considered if you’re playing Brewmaster as a core hero as otherwise, this is a slightly expensive item. 

S&Y is great for Brew because:

  • It increases all important attributes that Brewmaster lacks such as movement speed, and status resistance, and also builds on his strengths. 
  • It allows Brewmaster to become a threatening damage dealer in the mid-game to late-game timing.

Shiva’s Guard passively gives Brewmaster a huge boost in armor and intelligence. When activated Shiva’s also emits a freezing wave that does magic damage and slows enemies. Shiva’s has an amazing win rate of 65% but it must be mentioned that this isn’t a core item and is only required if the opposing team has high physical damage carries. 

Shiva’s Guard is great for Brew because:

What is Lorem Ipsum?It's time for them to learn their place. Reina storms the King of Iron Fist Tournament in #TEKKEN8  Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.     Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.Where can I get some?There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised
