King Leoric - The Skeleton King

Once a noble knight protecting his kingdom, the man was thrown into Hell, where he was ripped apart over and over for centuries. Now, Lucifer has thrown him back onto the soil, corrupted and mindless, as King Leoric, the Skeleton King. He marches on, leading his minions with an unfaltering gaze, knowing only one thing: the orders given to him by the dark lord himself. Able to cripple his opponents with a powerful magical hammer, King Leoric is a major threat on the battlefield. His mighty blade allows him and others in his presence to drain the blood of their enemies. It is said that he is unkillable, and those who are struck down by his hammer don`t wake up again.

One of the Best Ulties ever, In fact, use SK in wtf mode. I tried it, it does not remove the cooldown, but it is shortened to like 10 seconds...Mayb cause dota realised it was in cooldown.

438 By 11wavework11 2009-10-31

This has gotta be the most noobfriendly hero eva, in fact, i used him as my first hero, 1 acive skill that is stun AND damage. Items:
BOT or Power Tread.
BattleFury X 2 OR 1
Heart OR Assualt Cuirass OR Amulet (I only used the amulet once on SK)
Orb item (No YnS)(I prefer Stygian Des)

Item you should not get:
Eye of Skadi- Sure it will be nice, but it is not worth the price It would be a lot better to get 2 Battle Furies for the same price.

Pixie ur the noob. It's not a 60 percent chance of criticaling. It's a 20 percent chance per buriza to crit. It's not like all four numbrs come out at once. But fine. U may have more occurances of crit due to 3 different 20 percent chances of criticaling. Happy now?

435 By pixie 2009-10-19

nub stfu thats wat i said u jus misunderstood. if u have 3 buriza with 20% crit chance doesnt it give about a 60 percent chance??
yes i kno only one counts but u have more of a chance of one hitting

434 By Flaming_Angelz 2009-10-19

U all forgot the rule of crit. Do u all really need that much reminding?
The rule of crit is that only the LOWEST crit counts. So if u get 3 burizas for him, and if 4 numbers come out, only the lowest number is taken in damage.
And there is no higher chance or anything. It's all tha same.

433 By pixie 2009-10-19

they dont stack but they haver a higher crit chance. which is a waste of money.

432 By mawhpawh 2009-10-18

3 Burizza's? i believe they dont stack

431 By Pro_DoTa_GameR 2009-10-18

stanic armlet and asault guiras RulZzZZz

430 By ceskola 2009-10-18

I saw this SK With Threads, 3 Bruiza's and 2 Bfurys... It was just chaos :/

429 By Zorb effect 2009-10-09

OMFG, WE HAVE ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS!!!

STUN + STATS = RAPE EARLY GAME

VAMP/CRIT + STUN = RAPE MID GAME

stats + vamp/crit = retarded...

I dunno about vamp + crit though lol

428 By EaZoToP 2009-10-09

I think lifesuck is useless until lvl 15 and more.
The crit starts being usefull when you have phase and mordrigan, providing the AS to make it usefull.
I only get 2 lvl of stats bonnus, lvl 2 and 4. After this, I max crit, then lifesuck.
Mid game, leo is more of a ganker-stunner than a DPS.

427 By Oskar90 2009-10-09

Personally I find the crit very useful, especially when going against squishy ranged heroes. But that might be because I tend to rush treads and Helm of the Dominator which gives me nice attack speed and dmg already.

426 By Max_LKC 2009-10-09

oops i mean go for stun plus stats and u will be rapped at mid game

425 By Max_LKC 2009-10-09

go for stun plus vapm and u will be rapped at mid game

424 By EaZoToP 2009-10-09

Or, you can go stun / stats for the first 6 lvls. gives more Hp/mana.
The 2 passives are worthless early game imo.

423 By EARTH_SHAKER 2009-10-01

Max, I do agree with you...
Rhofiano, I personally think that if you spam wisely... You may manipulate the ulti on time.. Just a suggestion

422 By Rhofiano 2009-10-01

Uselly i only learn SK ulti once (at lvl 6) Cause SK don't have enought mana for revive if gank enemy too much

421 By Max_LKC 2009-10-01

um.....it ain't well balancer 5% lifesteal hardly does anything much and when early game u dun hav muxh atk spd ur crit wont trigger much so stun+vamp is the best
