Death Prophet – Krobelus

Death Prophet – Krobelus

Krobelus spent her living days as a fervent member of a cult of Death Sayers.

Dark Seer Game Strategies

Dark Seer Skill Strategies

Here are some tips on how you can improve in playing the skills of Dark Seer - Ish'kafel. Each skill is given some general tips on how to use them more effectively.

Vacuum
Your only direct damage nuke with a helpful moving feature.

Pull back a running hero. If he's running and you're behind him, you have to have good timing. You should get used to the cast range and the AoE. Both are big enough, but when a running hero is quite close to you and you aim vacuum wrong, you may even help the enemy escape.

If the running enemy is quite near, cast vacuum literally on yourself. He will be dragged right to you. If he is further away (not in the distance to be able to pull him to you) you have to predict where he moves. Cast it right on him and since it's not instant and he's running, when the pull occurs, he is approximately and the edge of the AoE, causing maximum pull and therefore increasing the chance of catching him.

In farming, when coupled with ion shell, you can use vacuum to drag all enemy creeps exactly on the shelled unit, utilizing shell even more.

To get a kill. Vacuum enemies to a friendly stunner. Works perfectly.

Ion Shell
Your biggest damage output. Remember that this doesn't damage the unit it is cast on. Shell should be cast on friendly melee heroes with stun, but other heroes can utilize it too (ranged tanks against a melee team).

To get a kill, cast together with surge on a friendly hero to ensure a huge damage output.

For jungling, you should permanently have shell when jungling. Never forget it. Since it does much more damage than vacuum, always max it when jungling. Shell won't be dispelled by purge, so don't fear the satyrs.

Surge
Great support skill. This 6.5 second haste can save heroes and help get a few kills.

For travelling. It can get you quicker anywhere you want. Use it always when going to the fountain. Since it doesn't cost tons of mana, you can spam it once you have a few mana items.

Wall of Replica
This is your main pushing skill. Cast it on the cliff to the base. Tell your teammates to run through. Select all images and attack.

For defending, cast it again on the cliff. If the enemies want to destroy the tower, they will run through and the images will slow them down.

For distraction. Cast it in the forest with all your teammates, send the images to a fake gank and push the other side. You need a good team for this.

Kael - Invoker

Kael - Invoker

Quas. Wex. Exort. The essence of a storm. The heart of a blizzard. The soul of a phoenix. After his people were broken and scattered to the corners of the earth, Kael was left with only the relics of his once great world. Thirsting for vengeance, he sold his own soul to Ner'Zhul, and in exchange acquired near limitless power. Taking on the mantle of the Blood Mages of old, the Invoker strode into war with nothing but the elements at his command. He can fuse the elements into deadly incantations, tearing apart the very heavens in his fury. His genius knows no bounds, and the Sentinel shall come to know the rage of the Invoker.

Dark Seer - Ish'kafel

Dark Seer - Ish'kafel

Thought by some to be among the most cunning and manipulative among the Scourge's varied champions, the dark seer Ish'kafel, living in exile from his people, is also the most secretive, for he speaks to no one but the Lich King himself.

Queen of Pain - Akasha

Queen of Pain - Akasha

Akasha is one of the many souls claimed by the blade, Frostmourne. Raised to serve the Lich King as a Banshee, she desired to become pure substance once more. Driving deep into the forests, she was able to subdue and possess a Succubus minion. Rightly bearing the title, Queen of Pain, she enjoys nothing more than inflicting massive damage on her foes, using both the poisonous strikes of her succubus host and the vicious howls retained from her Banshee nature. Akasha breaks her enemies' eardrums with torturing screams, some so loud they manifest into powerful waves that ripple across the lands, shattering all in their wake.

Undying - Dirge

Undying - Dirge

Considered to be an exceptionally filthy and despicable specimen by all who encounter him, including his fellow zombies, Dirge has wandered in from the wastes outside to serve the Lich King in hopes of finally obtaining a place of acceptance amongst the Undead masses. While he is still considered to be unpleasant as ever by the rest of the Scourge, his horrifying abilities, which include raising lesser ghouls and spreading vile, rapidly communicable plague throughout the enemy ranks, are unquestionably powerful and may just give the Scourge the edge they need to complete their unholy conquest once and for all.

Pudge Meat Hook Tips

Pudge Meat Hook Strategy

Hooking Stationary Enemies
Use a long range Meat Hook. Take advantage of the 1000 range. Set up by hiding behind trees in a side lane or atop the cliffs near the first middle tower and hooking an unsuspecting hero. Simply target the ground near the hero while the hero is busy attacking creeps. Fast fingers are needed to pull off your combination.

While the Hook is coming back to you, turn on Rot. After the enemy hero is reeled in, chase with Rot for a second then, Dismember the hero. If it doesn’t kill him, chase with Rot for the finish.

Hooking Moving Enemies
Avoid the Point Blank Meat Hook except when you can afford to get a creep instead. Anticipate the enemy Hero's path and put the Hook where the enemy hero is going to be. Try to use Hook when the enemy is at a point where he only has one option for where to go. The narrow ramps along the river are perfect for this. Don't Hook straight behind a running hero, chance are you'll miss. Step slightly to the side then Hook at a small angle.

Other tips for Pudge Meat Hook
- save allies
- launch a blind hook to get invisible or cloaked enemies
- remember to click on the ground, not the hero
- click a little short of where you want the Hook to hit
- click around 700 units away from target
- hooks will go across cliffs and through trees, buildings, siege units, Roshan, Syllabear's Spirit Bear or Chickens. Use to your advantage.

Cons

Playing Strategy

Early Game
- don't use Rot to last-hit creeps during early game. Use it to get first blood and kill heroes
- get Flesh Heap later when you start farming neutral creeps
- hug the tower
- use Hook and bring hero to tower and gank with your team
- use the bottle generously

Mid Game
- camp the cliffs on either side of your first mid tower and hook heroes from the river up to those cliffs, where you can Rot and Dismember for an easy kill.
- go around the map and kill late-game enemy heroes that are farming the neutrals

Late Game
- hopefully, you can now tank creeps and push with your allies for the win
