Mortred item build

Mortred the Phantom Assassin skill Guide, Strategy, Walkthrought, Item Build and Skill Build. If you are playing Dota 2, check also Dota 2 Phantom Assassin.

Born into the reclusive Night Elf order known as the Wardens and shunned by mainstream Night Elf society, Mortred pledged allegiance to the Scourge to take revenge. A perfect blend of strength and speed, the years spent alone in the forests of Ashenvale allowed her to blend into the terrain, appearing phantomlike at times and striking when you least expect it. The deadly precision with which she carries out her attacks have made her a valuable member of the Scourge, and it is clear why she is known as the Phantom Assassin.



Base HP: 473
Base Mana: 169

Strength - 20 + 1.85
Agility - 23 + 3.15 (Primary)
Intelligence- 13 + 1

Base damage 46-48
Attack range of 100 (melee)
Base Armor 4.22
Movement speed of 310

Strengths and Weaknesses

Positives
Strongest Critical in the game (4x!)
Has one of the greatest passive skill named Blur (28% evasion)
Most frightening hero if she got the right item
Has a skill to help farm early game

Negatives
Low starting HP and melee range
Fragile early game
As with all melee heroes, prone to disable-lock
Very low intelligence gain

Your most noticable weakness is your early game fragility. This guide's build will focus on items that will attempt to make the early game easier at an acceptable price, as well as being a worthwhile investment even in the later stages of the game.
Later in the game your power increases drastically through your critical, high Agility gain and chasing ability. If you survive early you will annihilate your foes later on.


Skill Descriptions

Stiffling Dagger



Hurls a dagger which deals minor pure damage and slow the unit's movement speed for a short duration. Deals half damage to heroes.

Level 1 - 40 Damage, 50% Slow. Lasts 1 seconds.
Level 2 - 80 Damage, 50% Slow. Lasts 2 seconds.
Level 3 - 120 Damage, 50% Slow. Lasts 3 seconds.
Level 4 - 160 Damage, 50% Slow. Lasts 4 seconds.

Manacost: 30/25/20/15

On the early games, use this skill to farm, farm and farm. IceFrog give this skill to Mortred at 6.51 only to help her farm. On the late game, this skill is still usefull to slow down the enemy while you chase it. This will be the skill that we will be maxing first.

Phantom Strike



Teleports to a unit and attacks it. Gains 100% attack speed for 3 seconds while attacking that same target. Maximum of 4 attacks.

Level 1 - 30 second cooldown
Level 2 - 20 second cooldown
Level 3 - 10 second cooldown
Level 4 - 5 second cooldown
Can teleport to an ally.

Manacost: 50

This is the skill you're going to be using just about all the time. It can be used for last hits, harassing, chasing, and even fleeing.

Blur



The Phantom Assassin becomes hard to see by blurring her body and disappearing from the minimap when near enemy heroes. Some enemy attacks miss..

Mortred unique skill. This skill somehow one of the best passive in the game. With 28% evasion, you will be hard to kill and since you became a giant dot, some noob won’t notify that you already attacked him. Unfortunately, this skill won’t help you against nuker on early game. The disappearance from the minimap will also help you score a kill on a careless hero.

Level 1 - 20% dodge/80% Transparency
Level 2 - 25% dodge/80% Transparency
Level 3 - 30% dodge/80% Transparency
Level 4 - 35% dodge/80% Transparency

Coup De Grace



Mortred has refined her hero-killing skills to a high degree. She has a small chance to deal 4 times normal damage on an attack.

Level 1 - 15% chance to 2.0x critical.
Level 2 - 15% chance to 3.0x critical.
Level 3 - 15% chance to 4.0x critical

This ability gives you the highest DPS in the entire game. A Mortred critical is completely unmatched in strength- nothing compares to it. This is what makes your hero so feared!

Your first skill is Phantom Strike, it will help you escape from level 1 ganking. We maxing Stiffling Dagger as fast as possible. This skill will be very usefull during early games. Like the other low HP agility hero, you’re gonna have a hard period of farming in early game. Especially when you’re facing nuker. When you do, use Stiffling Dagger to help you last hitting. Your main focus on early game is farming as much as you can (and don’t die!). Stiffling Dagger also a great skill for harassing. Even though the damage is poor, if you use it when the creeps chase the enemies heroes, the slow will give great damage.

After we max Stifling Dagger, Phantom Strike is next. Those two is give pretty much damage with low mana cost. Since we skip stats, your hp will be low. But Bracers will fill this gap. Coup De Grace is taken early, because this is the one who make everybody feared her.

Your core item should be like this:



Late Game Items
or + + +

Basically, your core items will be enough to make your enemy fear you. Your damage output is already high enough. But when the games prolonged, then you will need to grab more items for your survivability, since the enemy is most likely focusing on you. Go for BKB, if your enemy have so many disabler (Rhasta is sucks indeed!). Your evasion won't save you from spells and nukers. Satanic will give you bigger lifesteal and HP, will help you against another DPS hero. Assault Cuirass will greatly increase you IAS and reduction to your enemy armor. Monkey King Bar will also add more damage output from you. Finally, HoT will make you even Godly. When you get all of this items, probably no one will beat you..

Strategy

Using Mortred means you will have to be very carefull to not let her die. Your primary mission is only to farm and survive. Don’t waste your time by looking early frag, you will get it in the late game. Now then, the first two build items are pretty self-explanatory. Alternatively you could buy a Chicken and Bracer parts/Flask, whatever suits you. Once you do reach your lane quickly take note of your enemy heroes. If you're against two heroes and one of them is a nuker then stay as far back as you can without losing experience.

If you're against just one hero or two weak early gamers then begin farming immediately. If you're against two heroes and at least one of them is a nuker then you will begin farming at level 3 with Stiffling Dagger (or level 1 if you have a great timing with the Stiffling Dagger). The idea behind this is simple- when an enemy creep hits the low red hit it with your Dagger. This will help you farm while stay away from their nuke. Maybe for the first time using this Dagger, you will miss the hit or didn't get the last hit. Stiffling Dagger need some timing to use it properly. After several shot, i'm surely sure you will get the timing.

The damage to the creep is not instant. It's like a range heroes attack, so you must use it with proper timing

The first major part of my build is the choice of Bracers. Put simply, Bracers are the best value item that Mortred could ever buy. The HP boost they give is invaluable and they're really, really easy to make. Bracers are for early game survival, and they fit the bill very nicely. Especially in Mortred's case they completely outdo Nulls and Wraiths, since you don't need much mana for Stiffling Dagger and +3 to Agility is pretty negligible. Bracers beat out items like Vanguard and the Point Booster as well, being composed of smaller, cheaper items giving you more control over when and how you purchase them.

Next comes the Ring of Health, which is used for your later Perseverance with Void Stone and give you HP & mana regen, which will now allow you to harass with Blink Strike and Stiffling Dagger. The best possible time to do this is at your tower when the enemy hero is starting to move back until the creeps push toward him again. When he moves away quickly cast Blink Strike on him followed by Stiffling Dagger and hit him in the back several times, then quickly run back to the safety of your tower. If you do it right then you'll take a good 200+ HP from your opponent at the cost of a small amount of mana. However, this takes practice to know when exactly you want to Blink Strike in. If you do it at the wrong moment your enemy will be prepared and will retaliate, which is bad. Practice will assist you greatly in learning this skill.

Your Perseverance shouldn't take very long to complete and with these items you are much easier to use your skill often. After getting Boots and Belt of Giant Strength, you'll have a lot of HP compared to a good many heroes and your HP regen probably outdoes anyone else on the map. It's possible to get kills at this point with nothing but Stiffling Dagger, Shadow Strike and a weak critical if you choose your target right. Look for weakened heroes and soft targets such as the Sniper. Try to get a kill or two here if you can, and if not then just go back and farm up to your Battlefury and Treads. It's very likely that you won't be able to kill anyone here. Don't think you've been doing something wrong because you can't. Stiffling Dagger is always available to you for assisting in ganking, remember.

With Perseverance, a level 2 Coup De Grace and maxed Stiffling Dagger & Phantom Strikeit becomes even more possible to kill heroes. If you face weak hero, just jump with Phantom Strike, Stiffling Dagger, hit, another Phantom Strikeand Stiffling Dagger will make the enemies hardly escape from you. The low cooldown of both skills is the key for this scenario. If you're not sure about your target, don't hesitate. Don't risk you life. If you die too much, your late game will be ruined. Just go to forest and farms some creeps.

I should note now that I'm not going to go into specific ways of using Blink Strike to escape enemies. With Mortred (unless they changed it again) it's possible to Blink Strike your allies, allowing you to possibly escape what could be a fatal situation. This doesn't happen all that often- there will actually be instances where Blink Striking to a creep will slow you down rather than help you get away. Usually the only time Blink Striking to an ally will help you is if the unit is moving in the direction that you want to go or is not moving at all, otherwise it'll probably just slow you down. Just keep it in mind and if you see an opportunity to do it, then do it.

At this point in the game it's likely that some pushes will be happening as well. When the enemy team pushes you want to stick yourself onto the most fragile hero you can find and just whack at them. If an enemy attempts to flee then Stiffling Dagger him and chase him down, as that's what you're best at. You really aren't that strong when it comes to team fights but your slow will be a big help in these situations.

By the time you're level 16 with your Coup De Grace at level 3 you should have your Treads, Bracers and Battlefury. If you haven't been able to farm that much you're probably going to lose. With Battlefury, your criticals are going to be a major force to be reckoned with, and heroes are going to really start fearing your high damage. Battlefury will also help you fast farming and make great amount money for your luxury.
Your next item is Helm of Dominator and life leech the enemies. The leech will help you survive on battle since the HP regeneration is minor right now. After get your Helm of Dominator search for some Stomper and remember to have your Stomper with you. You'll want him around at all times because he may save your life or net you a kill. If a hero is foolish enough to be running around alone then show him no mercy- there isn't much that can handle you 1v1 at this point except for heroes with high DPS AND disables. As long as you can stick to the hero and keep leeching him he probably won't be able to kill you.

Your Battlefury will send your criticals to 450+ and you'll be getting them quite a lot because of your high Agility and decent IAS. Combine this with the life leech virtually no hero can handle you alone and few heroes can escape thanks to your slow and your Blink Strike. Your biggest fear here is ganks, and because Mortred has no reliable escape mechanism you're going to have to rely on intelligence to stay alive. Stick with your allies and watch your mini-map so that your foes can't stop your slaughterfest with a few ganks too many.

Your Battlefury will make you farm like hell and there are a couple of items you can consider. The first is to grab another strong item like Monkey King Bar, Assault Cuirass and the second is to get a survival item like Satanic or Black King Bar, depending on your enemies. Black King Bar helps against (you guessed it) disabler and further damage is generally purchased when you want some extra oomph on your criticals or need to defend against large creep pushes.
When it comes to team battle, hid yourself. Wait until the battle initiate and quickly jump to the weakest enemy heroes, like Snipers. In the middle of chaos, the enemy will hardly get a quick response to your attack. After get your target, quickly jump into the another enemies with lowest HP. Even if they are fleeing, with Stiffling Dagger and Phantom Strike, you will get them in no time.

centaur item guide

Bradwarden is one of the tankiest heroes in the game thanks to his ultimate which basically is a free Reaver (and more). Aside from his renowned tanking skills, he is also a great initiator and mass-stunner, capable of finishing off low HP heroes with his Double Edge ability, essentially trading his life for damage. With a Blink Dagger, he is able to lead his team into fights and run out unscathed due to his hugehealth pool.
In this Dota 2 Centaur Warchief guide, I will be focused Bradwarden’s strengths, gearing him towards a full end-game tank-build which I believe best serves his role in the game.

Centaur Warchief Pros & Cons

[+] Perhaps the naturally best tanker in Dota 2
[+] Ultimate which complements his tanking abilities perfectly
[+] Good stuns and nukes
[+] Besides tanking, can also semi-carry
[+] With Return, he can jungle farm like a boss.
[-] Melee attack
[-] Stun can be hard to place without getting a Dagger
[-] Lacks an escape skill (hence get Dagger fast!)
Centaur Warchief/Bradwarden Abilities
[F] Hoof Stomp
Slams the ground with his hoof, stunning and damaging nearby land based enemies.
Radius: 315
Stun Duration: 2/2.25/2.5/2.75
Damage: 100/150/200/250
Notes :- Your most used skill, its AoE radius has been nerfed through the years in the original DOTA so I would recommend getting a Dagger to increase your chances of pulling it off successfully every single time.

[D] Double Edge

The Centaur summons a great amount of inner strength and releases a very powerful attack. It can only be done at melee range, and it damages both the Warchief and ministuns the enemy.
Range: 150
Damage: 175/250/325/400
I love this spell because it turns Centaur Warchief into an unlikely damage machine. 400 damage cannot be taken lightly in the early game. It also functions a mini-stun, so don’t hesitate to use it to stop channeling spells or enemies trying to teleport away when your Hoof Stomp is on cooldown.

[E] Return

The Centaur Warchief counters every attack immediately against him with a swift strike.
Countered Damage: 16/18/20/22 + 26%/34%/42%/50%
A great pushing and farming skill, this is a free but weaker version of Blademail. It does negligable damage to heroes though, therefore it shouldn’t be prioritised over your other 2 spells above.

[R] Great Fortitude

The Centaur Warchief’s mammoth body is capable of absorbing great amounts of damage.
Increase to Strength: 15/30/45
Boring skill but it is what makes Bradwarden such a tanky hero.

Justification
Hoof Stomp is taken as your first skill to save your ass and perhaps contribute to a First Blood. However at levels 2 and 3 Double Edge is prioritised, reason being that DE doesn’t cost an myna while your Stun mana cost increase in each level. In other words, the 0.5 increase in stun duration is minor, considering you pay an extra 20 mana cost. I personally prefer the extra damage a level 2 Double Edge grants here. However, if you have another stunner as a partner, you may go for a Hoof Stomp -> Double Edge -> Hoof Stomp sequence instead.

Bradwarden the Centaur Warchief’s Item Build

Core Items 

Magic Wand  :- Because Double Edge will oftentimes leave you with little to no health, this item will prove its usefulness time and again with the burst heal it grants every time you activate it.
Hood of Defiance :- Double Edge deals magical damage hence Hood of Defiance is a good item to get to reduce the impact it does to you. Because of your naturally high Strength gain, this will increase your effective HP and your chances of survival since you will always be expected to be the first one in during team battles.
Blink Dagger :- An essential purchase for Bradwarden due to Hoof Stomp’s small radius. This will enable you to chase up to enemy heroes and lay the smack down on them before they know what hit them.
Blademail :- 5 seconds of invulnerability, a really fast cooldown and one of the best counters to AoE spells make this just plain overpowered for Centaur. Your high HP with this item will allow you to spam your first 2 spells non-stop, making you a pain in the ass your opponents will struggle to deal with. The mana and armor it gives is also important to a tanky Strength hero like Cent.
Luxury Items

Heart of Tarrasque :- With this you will be virtually unkillable on the battlefield. The additional DPS you gain is icing on the cake.
Boots of Travel :- Get it only when your team has the upper hand and you want to keep the pressure on the enemy.
Radiance :- Since you are always in the center of the battlefield, this item will ensure you deal maximum passive damage. Your tanky stats will ensure you draw attention away from your teammates and survive the focus fire you will eventually get from the opposite team.
Assault Curaiss :- This will increase your tanking ability, boost your team’s survivability and DPS as well due to the increased attack speed it gives.
How To Play Bradwarden the Centaur Warchief Properly
Early Game
Try to pick a dual lane as his solo capabilities are poor at the start. You will preferably want a teammate who can slow or stun to ensure that you can close the gap for a HoofStomp/Double Edge combo. Focus on getting as many last hits as you can as you will want the fast cash to get a quick Dagger, preferably by level 6.
Don’t be afraid to play aggressively due to your HP gain. Also, contrary to popular belief, he should not be jungling in the early game because the early points invested in Return means that he will be a liability later on since he won’t have Hoof Stomp and Double Edge maxed out. The key here is to think long term.
Mid Game
Once you have your Dagger, it’s ganking time!
Make sure to get those Scrolls of Teleport to get yourself to key areas of the map in time. Blink in and stun, hit them 2-3 times before snagging the kill with Double Edge. With teammates backing you up, you should have no problems getting the kills in the early game.
Late Game
Your role in the late game remains unchanged. Blink in and initiate the fight, with Radiance and other damage dealing items you should be able to deal massive amounts of damage before dying. Just do your job and pick out the opponent’s key heroes first, either the Carry or rival Initiator.

HUSKAR the Sacred Warrior

Huskar the Sacred Warrior
 
The Item Build

The Starting Items

x2x2

2 gauntlets is an affordable boost to your hp and damage, making your harass more effective with extra damage and you have more hp to cast Burning Spears with. The Salve and dual tangoes are pretty crucial, the Tango is for over-time regeneration and the Salve for when you're real low. You'll most likely need to use both due to the opponents harassing you and spamming burning spears, don't expect to head back to the fountain for a long time.

Soon After

(x2)

Boots of speed is actually a pretty major item for Huskar, by having a movespeed advantage quickly, you'll be able to orb-walk much more effectively, or if the enemy gets an early boots as well, you'll be able to keep up. The Helm of Iron Will is a good early game item, providing armor and the ever-helpful regen, but naturally the main use is to upgrade to a Hood later. If you're farming exceptionally well you can grab 2 of them, since eventually you'll be getting both Armlet and Hood, but generally upgrading to Hood with one right away is your best bet.

The Core

Treads is the natural upgrade choice to your boots, only costing an easy 950 gold to upgrade, they give you more IAS, damage and hp.

Blink Dagger is a fantastic and powerful item that Huskar can utilize very well. Your ultimate has a short range of 135, putting you in basically melee range of your target. Naturally anyone with a brain will immediately back away when a Huskar comes charging toward them. Blink Dagger fixes this problem, granting the element of surprise and mobility, (there is no faster way to get anywhere than blinking.) Of course, outside of using your ultimate it is also simply great for chasing, junking, escaping and overall mobility.

The path splits, Hood and Armlet are both great items on Huskar, and you should get both. Armlet grants 65 damage, 475 hp, 5 armor, 25% IAS and -62 hp regen while activated, and since you have IV to help with the degen, I'd say the huge dps bonuses make it worth it's unbelievably cheap 2850 gold price. Hood grants a huge 8 hp regen and the ever-useful 30% magical resistance, making it the top-tanking item in today's spell-ruled metagame. On top of that it further-benefits Huskar reducing the self-damage from Life Break by an addditional 30%.

Depending on your enemies lineup, you can decipher for yourself which to get first, Hood against a highly magical damage lineup, and Armlet on a more passive lineup, where you can utilized the huge dps to blink in and dominate your targets as quickly as possible. Now as I play more and more competitively I find Hood a better first choice, as you won't get to utilize the damage from Armlet or Berserker's Blood if you're instantly nuked to death before you can strike.

Generally I go Hood > Treads > Blink > Armlet, but factors such as how fast I'm farming, the enemies lineup and my role on the team change these things. While Armlet, Treads and Hood come in nice convenient useful parts, with blink you have to save up a solid 2150 gold.

Extension, Optional and Luxury Items

BoT are also an available choice, but it should never be rushed on Huskar. Although the extra movespeed is beneficial, as is the tp, it's high cost makes it less desireable, and in-battle your usefulness won't be amplified as much as one of your other more important items, (blink, Armlet, Hood, Heart, Treads.) Only get this in games where you need to be all over the damn map tping and fighting, and it's a good idea to sell your Treads for these if the game drags on late.

Aghanim's enables Huskar's ultimate to take out 65% of the enemy's hp with Life Break while only having an 8 second cooldown at level 3; Best of all it's not like Spirit Breaker who'll need mana support for continuous ultimate casting, as long as you have hp you can use your 0-mana ultimate whenever you want! It's a good extension for imba-ganking after the core items if you're not going hard-dps carry, in which case just getting more dps items would be my choice.

Black King Bar is a viable extension item, but not always. Huskar is made to tank damage, by tanking damage, both physical and magical your hp drops, and in turn your dps increases. You get Hood so you can live to tell the tale after you take in the nukes, but with BkB all of this is avoided, so you probably won't get much of a damage boost. Get BkB if you're going hard-carry and the enemy team has lots of disables though.

Linken's Sphere is now a useful item with the Spell Block actually working on many single-target spells. A situational item at best when you are in need of 3 things: to block single target disables, more mana since you go oom from casting IV on yourself and your allies in pushes, and the stats for an overall boost. Consider these factors before purchasing this highly defensive item.

Monkey King Bar is a good item to get if you're going for straight up dps. In a higher-level game you probably can't farm this much, but if you can, feel free to get it. With True Strike this item is even better than before especially against carrys with evasion or butterfly, but be wary that auto-casting Burning Spears with True Strike activated will cause interference.

Buriza-do-Kyanon is a powerful dps item that scales excellently as the game goes on. Unfortunately this item is pretty expensive and Huskar may not have to pure-damage and godly IAS to utilize it's crit to full potential.

Heart of Tarrasaque was changed as of late, and not granting regeneration in combat is far less appealing to Huskar. It's rather justifiable, since the regeneration on a hero like Huskar was completely imbalanced. Still, it grants a massive 1060 hp boost, which is the most hp from any single slot possible. Get this if you need some raw hp, also as long as your mana pool isn't depleted, you'll never have to visit the fountain again with the unbelievable 2% hp regen outside of battle. This is my personal favorite extension of choice, granting hp and damage for Huskar to utilize late game.

Assault Cuirass is a possible Luxury item, granting you godly EHP and even better attack speed, I'd recommend this after HoT if you ever manage to farm that much in a game.

Guinsoo? DTC is noob, banned.

But really, Guinsoo is the item that never goes wrong. Granting some stats and highly unnecessary int on a hero like Huskar, the hex is what takes the cake. 3.5 seconds disable can easily shift the tide of battle, in some leagues having more than 1/2 Guinsoos on a single team is banned due to this items potential. If you aren't the carry and are playing a support/ganking Huskar, get this if you find yourself rich late game, it's simply a fantastic item.

Items Not to Get

Orb-effects. When manually-casted Burning Spears overrides all orb-effects, and when auto-casted is overridden by orb-effects. Burning Spears is just too powerful of an orb to give up.

Basher is a terrible item to begin with, and is 100% unnecessary on Huskar. Huskar is built to kill and last through it all, not to disable. Huskar has better things to build.

Radiance is an amazing item when on the right hero, and especially at the right time. Huskar has neither the speed to stay in immolation range of a fleeing enemy nor the capability to power-farm a relic. His lane-control is just too strong to pass up in power-farming. The majority of gold comes from Huskar's kills and last-hits in lane.

You don't need intelligence items at all, if you become low on mana have an ally with Arcane Ring cast or something, or grab a Clarity.

Dagon. YOU ARE NOT A NUKER. KTHXBAI. But for real, your burst damage comes from your ultimate and your orb, you can't afford to buy it, nor to cast it, your mana pool is pathetic.

Vanguard is an item for heroes that need to tower-dive, and directly attack an enemy hero triggering creep-aggro. Huskar is neither of these, as his goal is to kill quickly and effectively, and his orb-walking does not attract creep-aggro. He doesn't really need the hp with an average strength growth, and if you desperately want hp, grab a Vitality Booster and upgrade it to HoT later. You need regeneration? Get a HoD. Honestly right there I just granted good reasoning not to get Vanguard, so I'll say it again. If you want hp, feel free to buy an early game Vitality Booster to upgrade to a HoT later, and if you want regen, feel free to buy a HoD. A Vanguard only grants 50 more hp than a Vitality alone, and the regeneration from a Vanguard is inferior to a HoD. Also as I stated above, and I'll say it again, Huskar doesn't need the damage block, he neither needs to tower-dive extensively nor does he attract creep-aggro.

Mekansm. What are you a support hero? No, you're a hard-core ganker/carry, your job is to build up your core while dominating your lane, not being your team's healing bitch. You want your hp to drop, it makes you a powerful dpser, if you just heal back all the damage Life Break deals to you, then you kinda just ruined the point. On top of the fact that you don't want to heal your damage like that, Huskar doesn't nearly have the mana-pool to support Mekansm, he can barely support casting his own innate heal; which btw is at least 10x better than Mekansm.
