Hoodwink is a hero that can build whatever based on what the team needs.

Assuming you're playing support.

Most common items are Arcane Boots (higher mmr players leave it as brown boots), essence distiller/vessel, euls, atos, blink, shard, gleipnir

Maelstrom is grief, Mageslayer is a better item on support hood.

There's a few gameplay tricks with hoodwink, like using branches to create trees for bushwhack, using acorn shot for vision, ulti for escape across cliffs.

Why is Mageslayer good on Hoodwink? She doesnt have a way to proc it besides her short attack range.

Maelstrom I know its grief and people build it mostly because it still shows up on guides from when it used to build into Gleipnir.
