Take burrow strike at level 1 as it can help u escape and stun.sandstorm is to max because for each level u add the cooldown decrease by 10 second.I prefer adding stats since sand king is a ganging hero he does not need the farm.If the enemy has pushing hero like broodmother, adding caustic finale might not be a bad choice

Early Game Try to last hit to get a fast bottleWhen u reach level 3 just spam burrow strike and get rune.Try go get kill if possible.Once you have reached level 6 your mana is around 325, you will now start your hero killing by hitting the hero with Burrow strike(Click behind the hero.This will make sure u cast your ulti be4 the enemy stun you). Once the opponent got stunned activate immediately epicenter.Always remember to carry a tp scroll.It can help u get alot of free kill by tping to help your team or gang with your team.conserve your mana your shift blink combo need at least 400 mana. Mid Game Mid Game Gang Mid game is when Sand King shine the most. With constant ganging the enemy would not be able to take a team fight with your shift blink combo.If they enemy is decent they will try to get pipe.Try to shift blink ulti and shift stun the pipe user.So u can stun him before he use pipe.Try to get dagger asap. Don't use not to use Epicenter to get a single target unless special circumstances. Late Game Try to initiate the enemy instead of getting initiate. If u get initiate sandking is probably useless since he can't channel it's ulti.Try not to die in late game, Just end the game fast as sand king is not that fun in the late game.
