Dragonus is a sky-bound sorcerer astute in the arts of arcane warfare. Mystical in nature and veiled in secret motives he joined the sentinel to battle the scourge. He is said to come from the ancient bloodline of blood elves that has ascended to unknown heights in the arts of mystical magic. It's suspected that Invoker and Dragonus were prodigy's of ancient time and were fighting for the prestige title of the supreme mage. The art of his supreme knowledge of magic enables him to seal any magic and his Mystic Flare is capable of burning any foe in matter of seconds. Many allies are proud to have strode alongside this mythical being, but few enemies have lived to survive the full extent of his mystical arsenal.

A. Introduction: Dragon Knight's Basic Information

Damage: 46 -52
Armor: 4.4
Strength/ Agility/ Intelligence: 19 + 2.8/ 17+ 1.7/ 15+1.7
Range: 125
MoveSpeed: 290

Brief explanation to skill builds:

1. Forget about Dragon Blood. Why spend 4 skill points on something that is worth 750 gold (2 Rings of Regeneration)? Dragon is not a hero that has to harass people by getting close to the enemies and backstab e.g. Stealth Assassin, nor does all his skills melee based e.g. Centaur, Slarder. If you seriously need at least 4 HP/ sec to stay alive I suggest you polish your DotA skills by playing ranged heroes first.

2. Level 1 Dragon is almost useless, the slow effect is minimal, and the additional damage from corrosive damage is negligible.


Further notes on why certain items are bad:
Battlefury is bad because Elder Dragons can't cleave;
Strength items are more preferred to pure damage items because Dragon Knight is a tank;
Lifesteal orb effect is infinitely better than all other orb effects for Dragon Knight, because Elder Dragon Form deals splash damage, and leeches HP way faster than any other tanks. Moreover, certain orb effects don't work with Frost Attack.

D. Strategy

How should you play Dragon Knight?

Dragon Knight should always be played as a Tank/ disabler. The reason why Dragon Knight can�t be a hero killer is that he doesn�t have steroid type spell (sigh I�ve been repeating myself for a million times already). Splash attack and Frost attack are most powerful when there are a group of enemies, rather than when you solo an enemy. Moreover, considering the fact that you can do slow and deal damage to a group of enemies, you should expect enemies to kill you first, forcing you to get strength items to protect yourself. This in return forces you to be a tank.

Walkthrough by game stages:

Early game

Pick a side lane. You don�t necessarily need a solo lane, because you don�t have to quickly rush to level 6 and do hero killing. Before you max your Breathe Fire, last hit creeping is the key. Once you have at least 3 levels of Dragon Tail and Breathe Fire, you can backstab and do the Dragon Tail/ Breathe Fire combo. Drink clarity potions after you�ve cast your combo. Remember you need at least 250 MP to use both spells at the same time. Your primary goal is to quickly get an Eul�s Scepter of Divinity because you need a bigger mana pool to spam Breathe Fire. 

Mid game:

This is your weakest stage, because heroes do not fall that easily under your Tail/ Breathe combo, and you still do not have Guinsoo�s Scythe of Vyse. Not much advice here. Now that your mana pool and mana regeneration have improved, you can just use Breathe Fire to farm/ defend pushes, and catch careless enemies with your Tail/ Breathe combo. Remember when things go bad, use Elder Dragon form to run! On the other hand, if your team is pushing, use Elder Dragon Form and charge! 99.9999% of the people don�t know Red Dragon deals full splash damage, and everyone including yourself will be amazed at how fast you pull down towers and creeps.

Late game :

Late game is all about pushing and defending. Make sure your Elder Form Dragon is ready in all major battles (it does not harm to transform to Elder Dragon Form if you anticipate that major battles will begin soon, because Elder Dragon Form lasts 60 seconds). Your role is just a simple and boring tank. Disable enemies with Dragon Tail and Guinsoo�s Scythe of Vyse, clear creeps with Frost Attack and Breathe Fire, and then slow down the enemies for your teammates. If you have got Helm of Dominator, get Neutral creeps to assist your team. You�re pretty much doing the same thing no matter you are pushing or being pushed until the game is over. This is why I say Dragon Knight is a very boring hero � you�re pretty much doing.

Ultimate Build and Item Guide for Rattletrap - The Clockwerk Goblin

" RATTLETRAP "
[ The Clockwerk Goblin ]



"CLICK HERE - FOR DETAILED INFO ON CLOCKWERK's SKILLS"

SKILL-BUILD:

Level 1: Level 2: Level 3: Level 4: Level 5: Level 6: Level 7: Level 8: Level 9: Level 10: Level 11: Level 12: Level 13: Level 14: Level 15: Level 16: Level 17 - 25: 

JUSTIFICATION:
Rocket Flare at Level 1 will give you a great advantage in last hitting creeps and also serves as your tool to cancel healing of enemies[salve / clarity].

Maxing Battery Assault as soon as possible: You will need this skill to harass your enemy by going near him and then relentlessly attack him to death. Note: Keep in mind that you should cancel the 'backswing animation' of clockwerk's attack and simultaneously walk towards the target to achieve the full potential of harassing with battery assault.

ITEM-BUILD:

STARTING:
 
 
 x2

JUSTIFICATION:
4 pieces of Ironwood branch gives you more HP, more MP, and +4 attack damage which is what you need to have that laning advantage. 2 pieces of Healing Salve will make you last longer in the lane.

Also, the Ring of Protection is there so that after you farm up 325 gold. You will buy a SOBI MASK and make it a Ring of Basillius.

Ring of Basillius gives you that extra edge in harassing your enemy. Increased mana regen is good, the armor bonus is great because you will be able to tank extra hits.

CORE:
 
 

EXTENSION:
 into ->  if able

LUXURY:
 into 



JUSTIFICATION [CORE , EXTENSION and LUXURY]:
Aghanim's Scepter gives you the ability to perform ganks more often because of the reduced cooldown of your ultimate.

Urn of Shadows ensures you that after every successful gank, you gain a free healing salve. Not to mention the increased mana regen is great for clockwerk.

Hood/Pipe grants you and your teammates extra survivability in team clashes against spells which is always great however you look at it.

Radiance is pretty good considering you are always at the center of the fight and you tend to follow enemies a lot.

While Vladimirs is just an optional item considering your core is an RoB. It is still a great addition to your team if no one else would want to buy it.

OVERALL BONUS [LEVEL 25] (STAT GAIN/LV. and ATTRIBUTE BONUS EXCLUDED):
+60 MS
+25% IAS
+1.4 Armor
+656 Hit points
+150 Mana points
+12.72 HP regen/sec
+0.4 MP regen/sec
+50% MP regen
+30% Magic Resistance
+84 Attack damage
+16% Lifesteal (Aura)
+15% Attack Damage (Aura)
+5 Armor (Aura)
+0.80 MP regen/sec (Aura)

Attribute Switch [Treads] - useful for gaining a little bit of mana when needed.
Soul Release [Urn] - very useful for healing yourself after ganking.
Burn Damage [Radiance] - 40 magical damage/sec combined with battery assault HURTS a lot.
Upgraded Ultimate [Aghanim's Scepter] - reduces your ultimates cooldown by a great amount.
Barrier [Pipe] - your team gains extended hit points in a clash. ^_^

GAMEPLAY

At the laning phase, make sure you use rocket flares to both last hit and harass. You can also use it on the sidelanes too so that the enemies will always have lowered hitpoints which is beneficial to your allies.

As much as possible, try to isolate the enemy hero in your lane using battery assault.

Preferably engage the enemy exactly as soon as his creeps are all dead or at least only 1 of them are alive. Then go for the kill. Don't worry too much about the tower because RoB grants you additional armor plus you have Salve's.

You should be able to kill your opponent 3 to 5 times at the laning phase if it goes well. Luckily, if your opponent is not that skilled enough to face you; you will be getting roughly around 10 to 15 kills just in the laning phase [My record is 14 kills. [14 minutes game time, kills of only 1 hero, my lane opponent]

After the laning phase, you should now have farmed an URN and a POWER TREADS. Now, you are to perform as much ganks as possible before the game hits the LATE-GAME PHASE because by then... you won't be able to gank enemies that easily.

Use your COG to isolate Agility heroes or Supports [in short, isolate the ones that can be killed within the duration of the cog] and then chase any retreating enemy hero with your battery assault or hookshot if you still haven't used it yet.

You should now have farmed your core items and luckily, a pipe and radiance.

That's pretty much it.

at Late Game, it all depends on how you initiate the clash with your HOOKSHOT + COG + BATTERY ASSAULT + [PIPE (BARRIER)] if you will win or not.

That is all.
P.S.
I mostly pick clockwerk in drafts when the enemy picks Nevermore, Tinker or any hero without disable as a mid-laner because they are pretty much 100% KILLABLE when you reach level 3 and have an RoB and Boots of Speed[if the enemy also has boots of speed, you really need this too][provided they don't have their supports backing them up]. /gg

Especially if the enemy also picks Earthshaker. Clockwerk's skills will make sure Raigor cannot cast Fissure and Enchant Totem.

Zen - Arc Warden ITEM BUILD | SKILL BUILD | TIPS

DotA Zet the Arc Warden Guide, Strategy & Build. Zet is an Agility which is introduced on the DotA 6.75. This post will provide you with Zet the Arc Warden Guide, Zet the Arc Warden Strategy, Item Build and Skill Build.

In the magnetic and ether touched lands of the far south a perpetual storm rages. In this strange, barren land, only an isolated tribe of nomads know to exist. These nomads worship the very nether storms that plague the land, and born out of this bizarre energy and intense faith, a chaotic god emerges. Sensing the calamity of the approaching battle of the ancients, the infant deity imbues his most trusted prophet with avataric powers and sends him to quell the forces of order and good that impede his growth. Wielding the ether touched powers of lightning, magnetism, and the ability to reverberate an exact duplicate of himself into being, Arc Warden is a force to be reckoned with.

2. Hand of Midas
3. Necronomicon

5. Manta

To get the most of Zet's ulti, get as many as cast-able items.

Zet the Arc Warden Strategy
Extreme Strategy
Rush Midas at the start, with only regen items (salves preferably, in case some stick). Past level 6, always have midas, 1 salve & 1 clarity in inventory. Use the midas every 100 cooldown and 55 cooldown.

Proceed directly to Necronomicon 3 after boots. As soon as you have Necronomicon 3 or even at Necro 1 or 2 if you feel like it, solo Roshan. He dies in a matter of seconds. After Roshan, go Boots of travel -> Lothar's Edge -> Manta -> Desolator

Whenever the enemy team is even slightly out of position, backdoor their Tower and Rax. With your items, you can kill the tower in about 2-3 seconds, same with rax. Even with backdoor regeneration active.

Xin - Ember Spirit Items and Skill Build

XIN - Ember Spirit

EMBER SPIRIT

Sorry people,THIS IS MY FIRST GUIDE BECAUSE I DELETED MY GUIDE FOR REXXAR BECAUSE I FIND HARD TO CREATE A GUIDE.

Let's do it fast! Xin is a great hero with such a lot of nukes that can nearly kill any hero and in this guide I will show you the skill and item builds for him. English is not my native language.

Searing Chains

Flame Guard

Searing Chains

Sleight of Fist

Fire Remnant

*Max Sleight of Fist and Ulti then stats*

Skill Build Explanation

Xin is an early-mid game nuker and maxing Searing Chains and Remnant is a must because it eanbles you to deal your outmost damage. Sleight of fist is a skill that depends on your attack damage and since in early game your damage isn't quite good, you need to focus on your skills first and it deals 50% less damage on creeps thats why you don't need it, you will only tickle the creeps. even if it has bonus damage to heroes it deals less damage than Flame Guard,Searing Chains combo compared to Searing Chains Sleigt of Fist combo.To his Ulti, I'm still experimenting if you can skip it in level 11 and add some stats or Sleight of Fist.

Why???

Xin's Skills have a low cooldown. But compared to it's manacost it's quite high and you can't handle it. I'm mentioning Searing Chains and Sleight of Fist.Your Style will be as Raijin's style,Get it?. You will just slash them and Chain them until you want, That's my point.

NOT YET CONVINCED???

Bloodstone gives you a health boost which you lack even though you have Flame Guard and your skills needs time to be effective so you need to stay in battle to show your power.

AHHHHHhhhhhhh......

If your not yet convinced just turn your perse to bfury and thats it.

Extentions 

-Why not?? He is an agi hero

-yeah evasion,good for dpsers and in late game

-attack speed and armor is nice and your omni/Sleight of Fist Deals Physical Damage.

:-works with your skills as DPS and +60 damage is good

-maybe but, I haven't tried it.

Orbs------------------ All orbs are good with him.Mjolnir is a special mention.
