Yurnero Guide - The Juggernaut Skill Build, Strategy & Item Build

Juggernaut is a hero very low hp early in the game, but even so, it can be a super hero-killer and pusher. Cracking the armor with ease. Turners, dance like a dervish, drag the enemies with a flick of the wrist. Poetry in motion, reducing the enemy on the enemy in the blink of an eye. Yurnero seeks perfection. Seeks to become one with his blade. All to fulfill his destiny as the unstoppable Juggernaut.

(credit to playdota.com for Strategy Play)

Early-Game
In Early-Game try to go with an Stunner or disabler on the lane, he disable / stuns your enemy, and you Blade Fury him to dead. In Blade Fury you're immune to magic, so you're against disable and stun in try to First-blood like save. Try to don't go back early, try getting Ring of Health and Void Stone for Perservance that you're not fast leaking on Mana. If you reached Level 6, make the tactic that guaranteed you a kill. Blade Fury -> physic attacks and if he try to Escape and is low health, finish him off with Omnislash.

Middle-Game
Now you should have Battle Fury and Boots of Speed and anyother Item for Power Treads. Then you should have Level 4 Blade Fury, and try to stay on your lane, push until the Tower is destroyed from Enemy, and begin to gank. Until you got your Stygian Desolator, if you have too much problems gathering Gold for Stygian, finish first Vladmir's Offering (If you have trouble with surviving). If you got Mana problems, go to Aghanim's Scepter. So you can stay very long, and having not that trouble with Mana.

Late-Game
In Late-Game, you should have in your Interface: Power Treads (Agility), Vladmir's Offering, Battle Fury, Stygian Desolator and Eaglehorn maybe. Now it's time to get the Hero-killer you are! You're damage with Critical Strike is so terrible for your enemy, that you leech life as they would no damage you + Healing Ward. Healing Ward should you use in team-fights that your team can stay longer. But take care of your Ward, the enemy Team will sure beginning focusing it, because it heals you, and your team.

The Tormented Soul, Leshrac Leshrac the Malicious Guide and Walkthrought

2011-07-22T20:49:00.000-07:00

The Tormented Soul, Leshrac Leshrac the Malicious Guide and Walkthrought

This strategy guide introduces the average player Leshrac a whole new level and style of his play. He explains to a more unconventional and does not cover other types of playing styles in depth. However, remember that the strategy is not exclusive and can be and should be modified according to game situations.

Agility - 23 + 1.7 (Primary)
Intelligence - 26 + 3

Base damage 45-49
Attack range of 600
Base Armor 3.3

Skill Descriptions

Split Earth (T)

Level 4 - Deals 280 damage and 2 seconds (heroes), 3 seconds (creeps) stuns

Mana Cost: 100/125/140/165
Cooldown: 9

This skill is pretty hard to land as an opening attack. If you are not sure, let your mate with easier stun to land the attack first, then your turn to cast it. But if you confident, cast it as you like.

Diabolic Edict (C)

Saturates the area around Leshrac with magic, causing random explosions to enemies. Lasts 8 seconds..

Level 1 - Weak explosions.
Level 2 - Moderate explosions.
Level 3 - Fairly strong explosions.
Level 4 - Very strong explosions.

Pulse Nova (V)

Level 1 - 66 (88*) damage per nova
Level 2- 100 (133*) damage per nova
Level 3 - 144 (177*) damage per nova

Cooldown: 0
Mana Cost: 110 to active. 20/40/60 mana per second when activated
*) With Aghanim

Cast this skill for farming, clearing the way and killing enemies. Watch out for the mana as it will drained as long as you use it. Deactivate this skill if not needed.

Leshrac Skill Build

Level 1: Split Earth
Level 2: Diabolic Edict / Lightning Storm
Level 3: Diabolic Edict / Lightning Storm
Level 4: Lightning Storm / Diabolic Edict
Level 5: Diabolic Edict / Lightning Storm
Level 6: Lightning Storm / Diabolic Edict
Level 7: Diabolic Edict / Lightning Storm
Level 8: Lightning Storm / Diabolic Edict
Level 9: Lightning Storm / Diabolic Edict
Level 10: Pulse Nova
Level 11: Pulse Nova
Level 12: Split Earth
Level 13: Split Earth
Level 14: Split Earth
Level 15: Stats
Level 16: Pulse Nova
Levels 17-25: Stats

1.25 seconds stun is enough in the early minutes, so take Split Earth just 1 level. Pulse Nova waste her mana, so don't take it before level 10 if she hasn't equip item increasing mana and mana regeneration yet. Lightning Storm and Diabolic Edict are good combination to clear the way and destroy tower. Pulse Nova are good skill in a big war to clear opponent creeps so your team can focus to attack enemy heroes.

Leshrac Item Build

1. 3x Ironwood Branch + Mantle of Intelligence + 2 set of Tangos + 2 Clarity Potion or just empty Bottle
2. Void stone if you can harass your enemy/enemies and can keep your hp full. Point booster / Ring of Health if you are being harassed.
3. Point booster if you didn't have it + Boots of Speed + Finish Perseverance.
4. Finish Phase Boots (+ Town Portals) or Boots of Travel

Leshrac's core item should be like this:

Perseverance is bough for regenerating hp & mana. Point Booster to increase hp and mana little much more so he is little harder to kill and can cast spells without lack of mana. Boots of Travel will help you assist your friend and killing enemies anywhere when needed. Empty Bottle (optional) is standard item in tourney game. It is used to restore hp and mana in few seconds and to get the rune.

Luxury Items

+ + + +

In my opinion, Bloodstone is created for Leshrac aside of Storm. The hp boost and mana boost is welcomed , but the main advantage for having Bloodstone is the mana regeneration. If you can have enough charge, you can cast Pulse Nova without thinking about the mana. Aghanim is equipped to increase Pulse-Nova's damage.

Guinsoo is used to disable an enemy hero. Shiva's guard increase his armor so he is harder to kill and also to cast Arctic Blast for slowing enemies around him and clear the way faster. All of his skills are active so he doesn't need attack damage.

Being AoE damage dealer, he probably will be focused by enemy carry (which mainly rely on normal attack) on the clash, Ghost Scepter will be your way out. If you manage to get Ethereal Blade, you can banish both of him and his enemy and let you land your magic spells while the enemy can't give you any normal attack.

However, if your enemy also consist of AoE damage spells or chain nuker, get BKB instead. Your Ghost Scepter/Ethereal Blade won't help you in those situation. Get Blade Mail if you feel you won't survive even if you get those items. It will make them think twice before attack you and while they hesitate, you can give them some nice damage. If the enemy still focusing on you, well, at least you give him the return damage which is pretty hurt.

Leshrac Strategy

You should pick this hero when your team needs good pusher since he can annihilate creep and tower really fast. Avoid to pick him when there are Doombringer, Enigma, Silencer, Traxex and/or Rooftrellen as your enemy.

He is needed in the mid game to help your team harass/kill the enemies, clearing the way to the tower and destroy them. He need to level up as soon as possible to maximize his skills. So, get him the solo lane if possible.

In early minutes, cast Lightning Storm for farming and harassing. Cast Diabolic Edict when reaching tower and there is no enemy's creep in the way to destroy tower. When you are attacked suddenly by your enemy, cast Split Earth and try to kill your enemy with all of your skills or just run away if you are afraid about Leshrac's death.

Mid in the game, you must help your team to harass / kill your enemy / enemies and destroy the tower. Lightning Storm Cast, Split Earth, Lightning Storm, and again (+ Pulse Nova and diabolical Edit if necessary) to kill your enemies with your team. If you've reached the tower, melt Edit evil to destroy it.

In a big war, cast all of your skills, especially Pulse Nova, as fast as you can, including Diabolic Edict before you get silenced or disabled. Clear enemy creeps as fast as possible so your team can focus to attack enemy heroes. Be careful about lack of mana. Deactivate Pulse Nova when there is neither enemy creep nor enemy hero. Cast Hex and/or Arctic Blast if you have Guinsoo and/or Shiva's Guard. Cast Ether Blast to an enemy's carry hero if you have Ethereal Blade.

Your can make it you own strategy please sharing you own style on playdota.com :)

2011-04-19T01:28:00.000-07:00

DotA 6.72 is the next card in the series IceFrog DotA. In later versions, there was a lot of new heroes and presented a few elements. DotA 6.72 is likely to be another patch balance as DotA 6.71. IceFrog may introduce some elements of gameplay changes and suggestions from the community.

Update # 2: Meepo Aghanim's upgrade (April 13, 2011):

IceFrog shared a picture on its Beta Dota 6.72 PlayDota profile page. In this picture you can see Geomancer ultimate is to have a bug that allows it to carry more than one Aghanim Scepters ultimate improvements.

Nice to see its final polished Meepo get in this fix. We hope that other heroes do balanced / polished as well.

Update # 1: 6.72 IceFrog assessment (17 February 2011):
IceFrog asked for suggestions for future DotA 6.72 in his blog.

6.72 development runs smoothly. I wonder what you guys hope to see or other future releases. You can share your thoughts by commenting on the blog or send me an email. DotA is nearing the maximum size of the map for Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne is 8MB. V6.71 was the last 7.33MB yes, it probably means that IceFrog versions may publish new content with a couple before DotA 2 goes live.

Anyway, this page is created for DotA 6.72 AI &. Feel free to share your opinions and suggestions for the plan this next!

Scythe.SG Asia's Finest

2011-03-20T09:53:00.000-07:00

After an immensely long season and hundreds of matches, the Grand Finale between Scythe.SG and Nirvana.MY ended the ever debatable question of the finest team in Asia today.

What started off as a long journey through the group stages and then the playoffs was surely going to have a spectacular end and that was exactly what we got out of the finals of the ADC 2010 Championship.

After securing the first place in the group stages, the course was set easy for Nirvana.MY with direct access to the Grand Finale but it was another story for Scythe. After numerous ups and downs over the last few months over the team roster changes, they clearly managed to pull themselves up and get ready to compete again.

After ending the thrashing StarsBoba's winning streak in the playoff's, Scythe clearly showed it to the world that they intend to go on and go on hard. With convincing victories over teams such as XtC and LGD.sGty, Scythe made a strong point that they indeed are material enough to fight for the ultimate prize.

With some of the best matches played this year in competitive DotA, both Nirvana.MY and Scythe gave the world the finale a tournament of such size deserved. But at the end of the day it was hyhy and his boys that picked up a 3-1 win in a best of 5 contest and raise their flag over the ADC 2010 Championship Trophy.

With a huge win in their pocket early during the year, Scythe surely promises to be a team that is all set to show some hard competition to not only the teams from China but also the rest of the world. Their progress this year will surely be something amazing to watch.

Last but not the least, we congratulate Scythe.SG on winning the Asian DotA Championship 2010 and Nirvana.MY for giving us an entire season of amazing matches to watch.

DotA Tuskarr Guide, Strategy & Build | Ymir the Tuskar

2011-03-16T02:03:00.000-07:00

DotA Tuskarr: Ymir The Tuskarr Guide, Strategy & Build. Ymir is a Strength hero which added to the Sentinel in DotA 6.70. This post will provide you with the Tuskarr Skill Description, the Tuskarr Guide, the Tuskarr Strategy, the Tuskarr Item Build and the Ymir the Tuskarr Skill Build.

Hailing from the Borean Tundra, Ymir is one of the wisest Tuskarr warriors. Acquainted with years of warfare experience against raiding Ice Trolls and Nerubian Spiders that beset his village during his younger years, Ymir eagerly volunteered himself into the ranks of the Sentinel to help halt the notorious rise of the Lich King. A specialist in controlling the element of ice, Ymir's prowess lies in surprising enemies with frosty magics. His arsenal not only consists of propelling Snowballs and hurling shards of solidifying ice, but also conjuring massive Snowstorms that greatly impede his enemies' battle efficiency.

Alliance: Sentinel

Strength: 23 + 2.3 (primary)
Agility: 23 + 2.1
Intelligence: 18 + 1.7

Base Damage: 50-54
Starting Armor: 3
Movement Speed: 305
Attack Range: Melee

Ymir the Tuskarr Skill Descriptions

Ice Shards

Tuskarr compresses 5 shards of ice into a ball of frozen energy that damages all enemies in comes in contact with. If the ball comes in contact with an enemy hero or reaches its maximum range the shards are released, creating a barrier that lasts for 5 seconds.

Travel AOE: 200
Cast Range: 1500

Damage: 70/140/210/280
Shards Duration: 5

Manacost: 120
Cooldown: 18/16/14/12

Note: Shards block path

Has quite damage, but the ability to block the path is the most useful one. The range is high and allow you to harass from far away.

Snowball

Tuskarr and any nearby allied heroes roll in a quickly growing snowball towards the target enemy unit. Any victims caught in the snowball's path take damage and are briefly stunned; the final target takes 40 extra damage and 0.25 extra stun duration.

The snowball moves at the relative move speed of the heroes within.

Damage: 40/80/120/160 ( +40 each level on the final target)
Stun Duration: 0.25/0.5/0.75/1.0 ( +0.25 each level on the final target)

AOE: 200 + 40 per second

Target Cast Range: 1250
Manacost: 75
Cooldown: 40

Note: Snowball stops traveling after 3.25 seconds. Can destroy trees and cross cliffs. Must target an enemy, cant target ally or ground.

A unique skill which maybe fit the best for the Christmas. Have a really long target range. A nice skill to initiate a gank.

Frozen Sigil

Tuskarr summons a Frozen Sigil by calling upon the deepest cold of winter. The Sigil creates a snowstorm which slows all enemy units within 600 range.

MS Slow: 10/15/20/25%
AS Slow: 30/40/50/60%

Movement Speed: 310 (Flying Unit)
Sigil HP: 300 (same as pugna's ward)
Bounty: 90/100/110/120

Duration: 30
Cooldown: 50
Manacost: 75

Note: Spawns infront of him and automatically follow tuskarr when no order given to it.

A really useful skill for team battle. Will slow down the enemies on the area targeted.

Ymir the Tuskarr Ultimate

Walrus Punch

Tuskarr prepares his mighty Walrus Punch; his next attack will do a critical strike and launch the victim into the air. The victim will be slowed upon landing and take damage.

Critical Strike: 2.5x (4x if the target is below 50% hp) (physical damage)
Landing Damage: 75/150/225 (magical damage)
Landing Slow: 40%
Landing Slow Duration: 2/3/4 seconds

Cooldown: 18/16/14
Manacost: 50/75/100

note: Walrus punch will end if you dont hit a target in 10 second

A cool move which a little similar to Tiny's Toss. It deals lots of damage, especially to the below 50% HP enemies.

Ymir the Tuskarr Skill Build
1. Snowball
2. Ice Shard
3. Ice Shard
4. Snowball
5. Ice Shard
6. Walrus Punch
7. Ice Shard
8. Snowball
9. Snowball
10. Frozen Sigil
11. Walrus Punch
12-14. Frozen Sigil
15. Stats
16. Walrus Punch
17-25. Stats

Snowball is for early ganking while Ice Shard is for your main nuke. Walrus always taken whenever without any question. Maximize Snowball and then Frozen Sigil. Sigil will be useful for team clash which usually happen on mid-late game, hence taken start on level 10.

Ymir the Tuskarr Item Build
1. Sobi mask, Gauntlets of Strength, and Tango
2. Finish Urn of Shadow
3. Boots of speed
4. Empty Bottle
5. Finish Power Tread
6. Bracer and finish Janggo of Endurance

Tuskarr's core item should be like this:

Urn of Shadow - It will be first to picked up cause you already have 2 of its components on your item slots. Gives you HP, damage, and mana regeneration which you need on early game.

Bottle - is the best source of regen on Tuskarr. Especially his lack of mana. Because he's a ganker and he will badly need a fast replenish item. One slot, 600 gold, fast regen (both HP and Mana), and a measure against mana burners, makes bottle more effective and cost-efficient than other early regen items.

Power Tread - Provide you with stats and damage as well. and ofcourse some good additional AS.

Janggo of Endurance - It has aura of AS and MS. its endurance can add more of AS and MS to your team. Perfect for gangking. Use it after your snowball hit your target. Its aura will be more useful if you gank with your teammates.

Preseverence - Solve the mana problem and can be upgraded to BFury.

Orb of Venom - Optional item. Get this item if you have a hard times chasing your enemies. Useful on early game when your sigil's level still low.

Vladimir's Offering - also optional item. You can get this item if you have a more melee hero in your team and your teammates dont intend to make it. Has a good support auras (lifesteal, damage, armor, and mana regeneration).

Here is core late game item for him:

Luxury late game items:

Battlefury - Additional damage and HP/Mana regeneration. It's ability to cleave is just a bonus for easy farming cause your ultimate stacks with it.

Monkey King Bar - Your mana problem has been solved, so its time to get more DPS to your Tuskarr. MKB has +88 damage which can add some very nice damage to Walrus Punch (4x critical if your opponent's HP less than 50%). Its IAS increases your DPS and minibash wil help you to chase when your sigil is activated.

Assault Cuirass - is a smart route to take, supporting the rest of the team with the positive and negative auras to shift the tides towards team's favor. IAS and Armor adds to DPS and survivability at the same time.

Sange & Yasha - An all in one item (provide additional HP, damage, AS, MS, and Maim ability). Your EHP is increase as well as your probability to chase and kill your enemies when combined with your skills).

note: You can combine this with vladimir to add your survivability.

Satanic - Gives you DPS (+45 damage) and more EHP (HP and lifesteal). Choose between this, stygian, or Sange & Yasha depend on your game's situation.

Ymir the Tuskarr Strategy

You can pick this hero when your team needs disabler, tanker, supporting chaser, team battle initiator, or chase assister.

You need to be supported by:
- Babysitters :
to get a good farming on early game
- Close Range Disablers :
Snowball can provide them with free kellen's dagger. Good disabler teammates can make an effective gank on every phase of the game.
- Close Range Nukers :
They (such as Nevermore and Crystal Maiden) can give a good combo. But in some circumstances only (no disabler).

Beware of his counter:
- Close Range Disablers:
The more you close to them, the more you close to death.
- Silencers and Manabreakers:
can't do anything except do normal attacks. You will choose to gank them real fast without fail if you want to success. Including Doom Bringer, a hero with an awesome spell which is troublesome for A spell depended hero like Tuskarr.
- Evaders:
Blinkers or windwalkers. Hard to chase and can pop-up from nowhere to gank you.

You can choose any starting lane. Just deny and farm by last hit as best as you can. try to harass and dominate the lane. You can do that with the help of your teammate. Don't push the lane unnecessarily. If you have been holding a solo lane and you are above level 7, you might want to go gank a low level hero. Don't do ganking alone because It will be more effective if you do that with your teammate. Before doing that at least you must have a boot and a bottle on your slots.

What you should be doing in mid game is ganking a lot with your partner. Because your main role is making enemy's carry hero suffer so they cant be threats to your team on late game. Try to find chances to gank every time you have in this phase of the game. Snowball can be the initiator, follow with ice shard which can be the nuke and the trap, finish with walrus punch. Some additional hit will be enough to make em dying. You can use frozen sigil to slowing down your targets if they still have HP remain on them. But normally use frozen sigil first before snowballing so you can prevent enemies for running away.

In the late game, your role is a bit different as Mid-Game's: to slow and pick off certain heroes. Use frozen sigil when the teams clashes to slowing enemy's team and focus on your remaining skill to carry heroes. But always remember to hit enemies heroes as much you can using Snowball and Ice shards (because they have an AOE damage). Walrus punch to kill them or at least disable them.

Kill Roshan at Level 1 Hero Line Up

2010-09-20T02:01:00.000-07:00

Nowadays, it’s possible to take Roshan at level 1 and get the advantages over the enemy. Imagine when you’re start your match with one of your friend already on level 5? Great isn’t it? But taking Roshan at level 1 is also risky. If you failed or taking too long, you can start the match under leveled. Here is 7 line up who can kill Roshan even before the creeps appear:

Old School Line Up

+ 2 random heroes

Those 3 is the best combination to kill Roshan. Fury Swipes on Ursa, Frost Amor casted on Syllabear Bear and that’s all. But if you pick these hero, i guess most of the team will realize what’s your plan ^^ And here’s some more combination that’s less obvious for Roshan at level 1.

Line Up 1

Skills:
Zeus : Arc Lightning, to get rid of Roshan’s linken ability so Panda can use Drunken Haze
Panda : Drunken Haze, make Roshan’s attack miss
Enigma : Eidolons, taking from Furion summons
Furion : Force of Nature
Lycan: Howl, adding damage to all the summons and heroes

Items:
Both RoB and Headdress are used for their auras, heroes have random stat items

Level 5 Candidates: Zeus

Line Up 2

Skills:
Broodmother : Incapacitating Bite, slow
Dazzle : Shadow Wave, heal
Shadow Fiend : Presence of the Dark Lord, reduce armor aura
Templar Assassin : Meld, reduce armor
Alchemist : Acid Spray, reduce armor
