NOTE: Skill build 1 is recommended if you do NOT plan to buy Hood of Defiance. Skill Build 2 is ideal for Pudge who plans to buy HoD (if you are dealing with heavy magic nukers). However the adding of Flesh Heap may be delayed, if the HoD isn't fully assembled - go for Stats first. Read topic about Flesh Heap under 7. Strategy for more details
5. Item Build
Early Game ( levels 1 - 8 )
Boots of Speed Lesser Clarity Potion (OPTIONAL)
Bracer Empty Bottle
Explanations:
- The Boots of Speed is definitely a must have item for Pudge early game. This allows you to keep track with enemy heroes while rotting them.
- The Bracer will be sufficient enough to boost your HP pool so you can rot the hell out of your oponent and not get yourself killed. Plus it will also be enough boost to increase your maximum mana pool as well.
- Early game, carrying some Lesser Clarity Potion is very useful for Pudge especially when you are using your hook frequently.
- The Empty Bottle is one of the best item for Pudge. This is definitely what Pudge needs after hook+rot combo to kill enemy hero, after pulling that combo - your HP and Sp (Mana) is either halved or lower. So using the Empty bottle to refresh your Hp and Sp will give Pudge more opportunity to pull off the combo from time to time.
Mid Game ( levels 9 - 16 )
Optional Item:
Hood of Defiance
Explanations:
- Go for Hood of Defiance when facing against Heroes dealing with heavy magic nukes. Combined with his Flesh Heap, Pudge can resist anything even the ultimates of Lina, Lion and the likes.
NOTE: If there is no need to buy this item, skip Hood of Defiance and go to the next item.
Boots of Travel
Explanations:
- Boots of Travel is the next thing you need to purchase. Not only will it increase your movement speed for chasing enemy heroes, but this also will allow you to teleport from one place to the other for faster farming production. Note that you will need plenty of gold to get your primary items for late game.
Late Game ( levels 17 - 25 )
Alternatives:
Option 1 Option 2
Heart of Tarrasque Assault Cuirass
Explanations:
- Go for Heart of Tarrasque first if you feel that your HP is not sufficient enough to tank the team or to absorb the fire powers of the opposing team. Getting HoT will greatly boost up your HP pool plus it will significantly increase your HP regeneration.
- Go for Assault Cuirass first if you think that your HP is good enough to survive and that you are capable of tanking already. Going for Cuirass will greatly help your team as everyone in the team gets bonus attack speed plus armor. Not to forget that Pudge really need those as well.
If you went for HoT first, next item will be Assault Cuirass. On the other hand, if you take Cuirass first, go for HoT next. Then you can go for an upgrade of your items, you can replace the two bracers with higher level items after you have completed the basic items stated above.
Luxury Items
After getting your core items and late game items, you can now spend your income on these luxury items:
Black King Bar - This will give you more than just magic resistance - spell immunity is definitely something pudge needs especially when using Dismember (to avoid getting the channelling skill disrupted) and when tanking against heavy nukers. Aside from the spell immunity it gives, the extra str and damage will prove very useful for Pudge.
Linken Sphere - Similar to the effect of BKB, Linken is also one good item to prevent dismember from being cancelled. Plus the +15 to all stats and the hp/sp regen bonus is something Pudge needs.Items NOT to Get:
- Perseverance and Ring of Basilus are definitely not the answer for Pudge's mana problem. Pudge needs higher maximum mana pool, not faster mana regeneration. 
- The Vanguard is not advisable for pudge to get since this is costly for an early game item and is useless for a late game item. Bracers would be a better substitute to this for HP boosting.
- This is definitely a big NO NO for pudge, S&Y is very costly and is not that effective for Pudge. Always go for HoT (HP boost) and Boots of Travel (movement speed boost)
- Battle fury or Radiance? None of the above! Pudge does not need any harvesting type of items. With his Rot, he can easily wipe an entire wave of creeps in an instance
Dagon? What for? Damage? This is a total waste of money and adds up to Pudge's misery for his poor mana pool. Pudge has all the damage he needs with his infinity strength points.
- Power Threads may work wonders for most heroes, but Pudge needs faster movement speed and gets it from Boots of Travel, then Assault Cuirass will more than compensate the attack speed for not having power threads.
