When the war between the Sentinel and the Scourge began,human technicians made a mechanical armor and archmages created a soul for it.With the combined powers of science and magic,Xelioth awakaned to crush the Scourge.

Acid Strike (R)
Throws a cannon covered with acid,dealing damage and immense pain.Also reduces armor 5 seconds at all levels.
Level 1 - Deals 90 damage and 5 physical acid damage per second for 5 seconds.Reduces target's armor by 2.
Level 2 - Deals 150 damage and 10 physical acid damage per second for 5 seconds.Reduces target's armor by 3.
Level 3 - Deals 210 damage and 15 physical acid damage per second for 5 seconds.Reduces target's armor by 3.
Level 4 - Deals 270 damage and 20 physical acid damage per second for 5 seconds.Reduces target's armor by 4.
Casting range is 550. 1 second casting time.
Mana Cost: 120/130/140/150
Cooldown: 20 seconds

Framework: Basically this is your nuke.Like Gush,but doesn't reduce movement speed,end deals 20 DPS (damage per second).

Iron Fists (T)
Xelioth's iron fists sometimes make a powerful blowing bash which stuns for 1 second and knockbacks the enemy.
Level 1 - %13 chance per attack,40 bonus damage and 200 knockback distance.
Level 2 - %15 chance per attack,50 bonus damage and 225 knockback distance.
Level 3 - %17 chance per attack,60 bonus damage and 250 knockback distance.
Level 4 - %20 chance per attack,70 bonus damage and 275 knockback distance.
Mana Cost: N/A
Cooldown: N/A

Framework: It's like a combination of Slardar's Bash and Barathrum's Greater Bash.Max this is out to early-mid game,but it will be useful the entire game.

Item Mastery (E)
Xelioth's robotic body allows to combine with his items,giving an increased attack and movement speed,and a minor armor.
Level 1 - Each item in slot gives %1 increased attack and %0.5 movement speed.Also passively adds 1 armor.
Level 2 - Each item in slot gives %2 increased attack and %1 movement speed.Also passively adds 2 armor.
Level 3 - Each item in slot gives %3 increased attack and %1.5 movement speed.Also passively adds 3 armor.
Level 4 - Each item in slot gives %4 increased attack and %2 movement speed.Also passively adds 4 armor.
Mana Cost: N/A
Cooldown: N/A

Framework: Well,this is very useful for mid game and late game.When you have 6 items in you inventory,you gain %24 increased attack and %12 increased movement speed.Also armor bonus makes you tougher.

Robot Factory (Y)
Xelioth makes a nearly-perfect copy from his gears and weapons,dealing only %50 damage.But they have a one-sided mechanical link.
Level 1 - Xelioth loses %10 of his base damage,but he sends the %30 of damage done to him to his copy,and not vice versa.The reduced base damage is regained after the copy is destroyed.Lasts 30 seconds.
Level 2 - Xelioth loses %15 of his base damage,but he sends the %45 of damage done to him to his copy,and not vice versa.The reduced base damage is regained after the copy is destroyed.Lasts 45 seconds.
Level 3 - Xelioth loses %20 of his base damage,but he sends the %60 of damage done to him to his copy,and not vice versa.The reduced base damage is regained after the copy is destroyed.Lasts 60 seconds.
Mana Cost: 225
Cooldown: 120/110/100

Framework: You can make your copy and go to the battlefield,confusing your opponents because of both of you gain same amount of damage.Or you can send it to opponents use their useful spells and ultis on him,or you can just put in back to take only %40 from physical attacks,not spells.

Skill Synergies

First of all,always move in battle by casting a acid strike,the skill that you should max out ASAP with iron fists.That makes the enemy hero more defenceless to the attacks by reducing its armor and bashing,knockbacking.Also use Robot Factory in difficult times,it can both fight with your side and/or save you when you are escaping.Max Iron Fists out ASAP,it will be helpful to be a good damager.And your Item Mastery will really makes your escapes and chases easy.

Also,you can give to the item mastery before iron fists,to gain extra attack and move speed,and some armor.But o don't recommend this,because iron fists skill is much vital to defeat your enemy ASAP.But if you still want to give it,I suggest that first give 2 iron fists when its time comes(on the item build 2-4) and then give item mastery instead of iron fists (7-9).Then keep it giving like this until they finished.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Recommended Late Game Item Build

Power Treads Sange&Yasha Cranium Basher Heart of Tarrasque

I bought 2 HoTs because you and your copy will need HP.Don't forget,your copy won't take more than %100 damage from attacks,and this makes you a perfect team when you have high HP.Also SnY will give you increased attack and move speed,which are very synergic with Iron Fists and Item Mastery including Twin Bashers.

Recommended Late Game Build-2

Power Treads Mask of Madness Battle Fury Heart of Tarrasque Monkey King Bar The Butterfly

Well,this item build is much different,because of it is based on ASPD Power.MoM really turns you into a hero killer with attack and movement speed bonus,Battle Fury gives HP and Mana Regerenation and %35 Cleaving Attack that makes the farming and killing much easy,HoT is your HP booster item,MKB is your primary damage booster item with a stunning effect stacking with Iron Fists,and you can stop the channeling so easy if your HP is much.And finally The Butterfly COMPLETELY destroys your ASPD,Armor,and Low-Agility problem.That means your Iron Fists with MoM's Frenzy Effect will be a hate to your enemies.Especially when your Copy is on your side,you can be a perma-basher

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the best allies to defeat you enemies:

The heroes which have active slowing,disabling spells

Aggron Stonebreaker - The Ogre Magi Aiushtha - The Enchantress Traxex - The Drow Ranger Dazzle - Shadow Priest Rylai Crestfall - The Crystal Maiden Rooftrellen - The Treant Protector Rhasta - The Shadow Shaman Lion - The Demon Witch

The heroes which have passive slowing,disabling spells.

Purist Thunderwrath - The Omniknight Abaddon - The Lord of Avernus N`aix - The Lifestealer Black Arachnia - The Broodmother Meepo - Geomancer

And the heavy nukers will helpful when you're fighting.They can make a kill steal easily:D

Zeus - Lord of Olympia Lina Inverse - The Slayer Lion - The Demon Witch

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Worst Enemies You Will Face

Disablers!You should stay away from them because you don't have a active stun skill.

Lion - The Demon Witch Atropos - The Bane Elemental Pugna - The Oblivion Rhasta - The Shadow Shaman Darchrow - The Enigma

The Enemies That Can Make Huge Damage With their Skill Combinations

Zeus - Lord of Olympia Lina Inverse - The Slayer Rhasta - The Shadow Shaman Rylai Crestfall - The Crystal Maiden Leviathan - The Tidehunter Balanar - The Night Stalker

The best thing that you can do to them is staying away in the early-mid game,but when you take your HoT you can move into the battle without any fear.

Bah, I Don't get it. Elaborate please?

2 By Shimrra_3 2007-02-25

This is sweet. Acid Strike is powerful but has high cooldown medium range and 1 sec casting time to balance. The Basher is kinda overpowered. Maybe reduce the chance, DEFINITELY have it ramp up better, like 10/13/17/20 or something. Item Mastery I like. Robot Factory is confusing but I think I get the idea, and I like the idea. Stats, medium (base and gain). Bash won't be hugely imba cause of low agility. Suggest adding Mask of Madness to the item build. I'll check this later before rating, but I reckon at least 8 or 9

3 By VikiFanatic 2007-02-25

Robot Factory is a nice ultimate. Very creative. :)

4 By TrueBlueMetalhead 2007-02-25

Acid Strike, okay. Iron Fists is bland as it is basically just Greater Bash. Item mastery is IMBA as people will just abuse Ironwoods, consumables and other cheap items. Make like Yukino's hero wherein those items can't be used. Robot Factory is pretty cool but just a question. How much damage can the copy do?

5 By yukino_silvermaine 2007-02-25

Acid Strike: So-so. Guess it's pretty useful. Iron fists is a bit overpowered. Check greater bash. Item mastery reminds me of Armi Callid. XD Good enough, I guess. Robot factory: hmm.. Same stats?

6 By Shimrra_3 2007-02-25

Oh yeah, definitely true about ironwoods. I forgot that. Concur about copy's damage, how much? Aaand, I had a better look at Acid Strike, it lowers armor while doing medium damage after... I dunno. I guess we can use gush as an example, damage + armor loss + slow, and thats got low cost and high range... still in the works with what to rate this

7 By Millennium 2007-02-25

Well I made some changes.How is it now,I think it is good for DotA.

8 By Ae]Sprite 2007-02-25

This is a good hero. I like him. Improve some things though.

9 By Gary.Soneji 2007-02-25

I would like to see this hero in dota
great idea and great hero

10 By blairdude 2007-02-25

I think Iron Mastery isn't imba. Number of items, ironwood or whatever, only varies speed bonuses by very little. Skill level counts more than that. With 6 items, attack+move: 6%+3%/12%+6%/18%+9%/24%+12%. Less if fewer items.

11 By pbowman 2007-02-25

Looks fun, I'd like to play him. I would maybe swap the second HoT for a Satanic, keep the strength bonus, get better usage of item mastery, then lifesteal on top of the 60% damage reduction of ulti, whoa, hard to kill.

Also maybe something instead of second bashers??? but then again I do love permastun as much as the next guy, maybe that could be the MoM shimrra suggested, the attack speed would help perma stun, and double life steal.

just my two cents, but im not much of a "theorist"

12 By Shimrra_3 2007-02-26

Hold on man, orbs don't stack. Satanic and MoM won't do, Vlad's Offering would stack with one of them. I generally get MoM for the Berserk alone, lifesteal doesn't do squat for me lol. I like the remade second and third skills, good job. Muwhaha, I will CONTINUE waiting to rate

13 By emmancoletz 2007-02-26

Over power on the iron fist!!! ^,..,^ its like 2 in 1 hero!!! all hero must have unique not copy skill...

and also acid strike is over power!!

270 + 20(5) = 470 oh my gosh.. over power!! its like alchemist and leviathan combination... no balance dude.. nice idea... but balance is not good...

14 By Shimrra_3 2007-02-26

How on earth d'you reach 470. Its 270 + 20x5, thats 270 + 100 = 370. Imbecile.

15 By yukino_silvermaine 2007-02-26

@ Shimrra_3 = Watch it.

16 By Uros 2007-02-26

Well, he's better then Ezalor.

17 By silent_yet_deadly 2007-02-26

Abuse The Branches !

18 By Millennium 2007-02-26

Read the Item Mastery properly.Same items don't give extra attack and movement speed.Even if this it gives %24 attack and %12 move speed maximum.But n'aix's Anabolic Frenzy gives %40 attack and %9 moce speed,or banehallow's Feral Heart,gives %27 attack and %12 move speed.Do you think it is still IMBA?There is much more imba skills in dota.

19 By Millennium 2007-02-26

20 By pbowman 2007-02-26

Is there any other orb besides the sange and yasha? would there be a way to cause the lifesteal to over-ride the orb of SnY?

maybe I'm overlooking the great orb effect SnY has, but I tend to notice lifesteal ALOT more than i notice SnY orb, especially in battle when life on enemy is going up instead of down .

MoM and Satanic would stack with each other though right?

21 By TrueBlueMetalhead 2007-02-26

@ pbowman
Most orbs effects don't stack. Lifesteal would override the Maim from S&Y. Lifesteal orb effects don't stack with other lifesteal orb effects. If you want more life steal get a Vladmir's Offering.

22 By BashUmDead 2007-02-26

Dude this is an awesome hero idea, i have been waiting to see a hero that can involuntarily move enemies, your idea used it well! 10/10

23 By Kujibo 2007-02-26

Really nice one but u could consider maybe putting an hyper instead of the 2nd HoT

24 By Alwiz 2007-02-26

your hero is to slow

25 By tarheelfan83 2007-02-27

Ok, this is the first completely practical hero idea I've seen. Mad props for it's creator. 10/10 I hope we see this guy on a new version soon!

26 By Shimrra_3 2007-02-28

Hmm, everyones comments about 'involuntarily moving heroes'... don't we already have Barathrum doing knockback? I fail to see how this is different, not that I don't like it. By the way, I have observed this guy for far too long. It comes!! The 10!! Good work man.

27 By confirmtrash 2007-02-28

I find the stun to be slightly odd. the 1 second will fade out before the greater stun part, and greater stun is another heroes...

28 By SkillzDatKil1z 2007-02-28

i dunno about u guys, but i think this hero looks sweet!

29 By muhaimin 2007-03-01

u heroes r good...but suckZZZ!!!!!

30 By makio893 2007-03-01

i don't really understand it. but, i'm looking forward it.

31 By Z3nlord 2007-03-01

pretty good ideas,keep it coming

32 By aku_rian 2007-03-03

hmm..it's cool. I like it but it will be very good if you lower his attack speed from 1.6 to 1.4 and increase his armor from 2.0 to 3.0. I hope this hero will be created in DotA.....

33 By aku_rian 2007-03-03

i like it.............

34 By fed3rer 2007-03-04

this hero is strong
I'm looking forward to see this hero in dota.

35 By Millennium 2007-03-05

Increased agility,armor and attack speed.

36 By newbie 2007-03-06

37 By Millennium 2007-03-07

39 By dOtA-AlLsTAr 2007-03-08

SWEET NICE HEROE!!!!

40 By de_Artzz 2007-03-09

this hero is good
the item mastery synergies with the iron wood branch in early game
i hope this hero will be appeared in next map

41 By Envoker 2007-03-09

This is quite imba in its Iron Fist STUN+KNOCK BACK ...but its a good one:)

42 By Envoker 2007-03-09

Can his Duplicate copy ur items in ur inventory.

43 By Millennium 2007-03-10

Every item will be in the copys inventory too,but you can't use them.
And the stun+knockback just like spiritbreaker,I addded a stun to show the target become immobilize(can't do anything or whatever you say) especially.When the knockback finishs,the stun has already finished too.

44 By Chris 2007-03-12

Don't like it. Ulti is not good.

45 By aznasianlotus 2007-03-13

Kool!!
I like him but not his ulti

46 By disasteromz 2007-03-14

Your Iron Fist works like my hero idea Siegwuld's Shield Tackle, but yours is passive by chance and single target. Weeeeeeeeeh! Lets campaign for those tackle and knockback effects

47 By brave-sir-robin 2007-03-14

another stunner -.-

48 By spero12345 2007-03-15

TWO WORDS I HATE IT

49 By Millennium 2007-03-15

Well thats 3 words actually
An why?Owerpowered?I don't think so.Underpowered?I don't think so.You just have a problem wit me?I think so.

50 By peacechaser 2007-03-16

Calm Milennia, don't get mad at a critic that has no clear reason. BTW that's interesting ulti, I think I could do lots o' improvisation.

51 By IchirakuRamen 2007-03-17

seems kinda cool, balanced, and many possibilities for an item build, so, i'd like to use this at least once lol

52 By Maga 2007-03-17

hmm nice hero there,i would suggest changing iron fist to something like pulvurize,that would fit him much better and its original

53 By xterminater 2007-03-17

this is a super sweet hero

54 By Transfat 2007-03-18

I think its really nice. Creative uses of skills.

55 By Paopaomaster 2007-03-21

I hope this one comes in the next version!

56 By mando 2007-03-24

best work wiv mask n basher...

57 By Jimmizzle 2007-03-24

Nice hero... he needs to be in DotA

58 By Azxerion 2007-03-26

sweet but the AGI stat gain is kinda low, beside that, everything is nice

59 By got milk? 2007-03-30

If this hero turned up on dota... i would use him 24/7 Nice hero i really like the idea, i hope he becomes a hero in dota!

60 By Bergieee 2007-04-01

This guy looks like a bundle of fun. I really like his stun. Overall this hero looks properly balanced, not to mention all the cool skillz he's got. Congratz to this hero-idea, and I hope this dude makes it through IceFrogs hero-selection

Nice work 10/10

61 By bleach00 2007-04-02

hey is the robot factory icon from starcraft?

62 By hjcomighud 2007-04-11

63 By Millennium 2007-04-16

64 By jdc214 2007-05-20

66 By kidwon 2007-06-04

Yeah it is a nice idea for STR hero!
I find it nice 10

67 By icefire 2007-06-07

Seems quite exciting and resonable

Great Job 10/10

68 By rchowmein 2007-06-20

to millenium: can youe read? where does it say that same items wont work in item mastery. it only says items in inventory so anything. and the imba thing is not increased atk speed/increased move speed, although those are very good, its the +armor. thats +24 armor. permanent, well depending on # of items, but it would just be foolish not to always have 6 items. +24 armor is nuts, thats the imba part. cuirass gives only +10 armor and it costs a grip. moron.

69 By tiberiumlord 2007-07-05

don't you think that iron fists is a bit imba?

70 By Millennium 2007-07-06

@rchowmein
Armor increase doesn't stack.It gives +4 armor max,no matter how much item you have.

71 By Millennium 2007-07-06

And I think somebody work on English

72 By chickenheap 2007-07-07

Like ulti the best pretty sick

73 By Cranium_Basher 2007-07-19

I like him very much

74 By Funky DuDe 2007-07-27

very nice and good hero
but i dont understand the ulti is it a image or another him

75 By Millennium 2007-07-29

It is a image,not a real hero.He can't use neither skills nor items.

76 By bloody_red27 2007-08-08

I like it because:

1. The theme is well organized
2. The skills are quite good
3. Theres an actual model that exists in the game

77 By evoblade 2007-08-27

i give 9 to you no infernal hero at dota and nice hero skills good hero for dota

78 By Straith 2007-09-04

GOOOOOOOOD HERO

79 By Sai Warrior 2007-09-06

80 By XHellspawNX 2007-09-23

nice thought dude.This item mastery is revolutoinary

81 By salamii 2007-09-29

i like the idea of Item Mastery very creative... always cary some ironwood branches with you ;)
nice hero man 9/10

82 By OceanPwntage 2007-10-23

dude remake 3rd skill. usual lvl 3 agi chars have 6 armor. with 6 gaunt or str, u have +8 armor (about 10), 1.3 atk spd, and 307 ms. its just too cheap. at lvl 7 ull be unstoppable

83 By kakakawa 2007-10-26

hmmm looks quite cool

84 By Millennium 2007-11-01

DON'T YOU GET IT ARMOR PLUS DOESN'T STACK!!!

85 By AXCELACCEL 2007-11-27

nice hero

86 By iwillprayforyou 2007-12-13

So how many immages does your ult make 1?

87 By Millennium 2007-12-18

Yes,you can have only one robotic clone at the same time.

88 By redapple 2007-12-24

i like him not overdone yet can be useful to tank solo

89 By Pop_N_Fresh 2008-01-10

Not Bad

90 By fireinfernal67 2008-02-21

THIS HERO IS GOOD! ITS LIKE BARATHRUM(SPIRIT BREAKER) WHO KNOCKS BACK HIS ENEMIES

91 By edgarace 2008-02-23

Nice imagination you got. Stone Giant has found his opponent. But there is something i noticed in his skill "Iron Fist". What does N/A mean? It means that it's not applicable right, meaning no mana cost or cooldown? no mana cost + no cooldown = unlimited use. meaning, you can just use and use it until the melee enemy hero dies? seems unfair.....

92 By ~Infinity~ 2008-02-24

what ever,he sounds pretty stupid if you ask me.

93 By papriak 2008-04-04

Very very nice! The ulti is very interesting

94 By jaghardig 2008-05-18

Nice hero. I'd like to see him in DotA

95 By James_Sunderland 2008-07-20

Yeah, this hero is good and it isn't IMBA... Good Job Millenium

96 By [black]_machine 2008-08-24

Wow!

Creative.., very "creative"...
