Waging war from up above, the great Gyrocopter comes to wreak havoc on the battlefield. There are not many carry heroes who are capable of fighting right from the early game, while also being able to farm sufficiently. Gyrocopter is, without a doubt, an exception. Over the years, there have been various builds on Gyro, and surprisingly most of them are still very much relevant today. This evergreen flexibility of the hero explains his high win rate in the current meta. With the right skill and item builds, there is no way you end up with a loss on this hero as everything from his early-game potential to his late-game damage is impeccable.
If you are interested in playing Gyrocopter or want to enhance your gameplay, you’ve come to the right place. We bring you the best 5 builds that guarantee you a win. These builds are highly relevant in the current meta.
5. Topson Build
The legend Topson is known for his unorthodox builds and playstyles. His sheer skill and game sense ensures he triumphs even with the strangest builds, with two Ti wins under his belt, he has nothing left to prove. Gyrocopter is not your average mid-hero, yet Topson makes him look like a beast in the mid-lane with his magic build. His exceptional farming style and aggressive demeanor ensure there is no stone left unturned when it comes to winning the lane. His brilliant skill allocation and spellcasting are something you need to pay attention to if you’re trying to emulate his build. The magical build on Gyrocopter is still being explored, but Topson is one of the few players to consistently experiment with this build in high-ranked games.
As a mid-Gyrocopter, Topson prefers to gank other lanes as early as he can with this build. He ensures that no lane is lagging in terms of levels or farms. He builds an early game Midas due to the bonus it provides, helping him go head-to-head against his enemies in terms of levels and net worth. He also builds Aghanim’s Shard, Ethereal Blade, and Shiva’s Guard which provide him with that increased magic damage potential while also offering him some durability.

1. Early Game Fight Oriented Build
It is not every day that you see carry Gyrocopter running and gunning from the laning phase. The hero is conventionally played as a laner and prefers farming in the late game, but the recent buffs to his talent tree and overall stats make him a suitable pick as an early-game aggressor. Gyro is a highly viable carry hero if you build the right items. It is more of a hard-hitting build and should be tried out in unranked games first, as you can be at grave risk of losing your MMR if you jump in a ranked game with it.
Divine Rapier may be a risky choice, but it does work if you can trust your teammates to back you up. Carry Gyro is an exceptional hero if he gets the backup he needs in order to dominate a fight. This build also allows him to essentially 1v5 due to the massive AoE damage and sustain it provides in the form of Aghanim’s Scepter, Butterfly, Silver Edge, and Satanic. If you manage to get all these items early, there is no way your enemies can match up to your fight and damage potential.
Use This Build If:
- You are looking for an early-game skirmish build
- You’re facing low-armor heroes
- You’re facing illusion or AoE-based heroes like Meepo or Phantom Lancer
