Leoric has become one of my favorite heroes to play: I find that Leoric is impossible to kill, and if used right, impossible to survive. Happy hunting!

	King Leoric - The Skeleton King Range: 128 \| Move Speed: 300 Primary: STR Str: 22 + 2.9 \| Agi: 18 + 1.7 \| Int: 13 + 1.6 Damage: 54 – 56 \| HP: 568 \| Mana: 169 HP Regen: 0.91 \| Mana Regen: 0.53 Attack Speed: 1.39 \| Armor: 3
	Hellfire Blast (T) Leoric launches a sphere of hellfire from the end of his sword, causing his victim to burst into flames. Deals damage and stuns for 2 seconds. Level 1 - 100 damage. Level 2 - 150 damage. Level 3 - 200 damage. Level 4 - 250 damage. Mana Cost: 140 Cooldown: 8 Comment: One of the most spammable stuns in the game, the sole drawback of which is that Leoric has a drastically low mana pool to begin with. Max as soon as possible. Further explanation in the main guide.
	Vampiric Aura (V) Allied melee units within 600 AoE gain hit points when they hit enemy units. Level 1 - Gains 10% of attack damage. Level 2 - Gains 16% of attack damage. Level 3 - Gains 22% of attack damage. Level 4 - Gains 28% of attack damage. Mana Cost: N/A Cooldown: N/A Comment: The classic argument has always been whether to get this skill or Critical first; I think that they are both primarily late-game skills but lifesteal provides better survivability in early game. Further explanation in the main guide.
	Critical Strike () Gives 15% chance to do more damage on an attack. Level 1 - 1.25 times normal damage. Level 2 - 1.75 times normal damage. Level 3 - 2.25 times normal damage. Level 4 - 2.75 times normal damage. Mana Cost: N/A Cooldown: N/A Comment: See above. Regardless of that opinion, Critical Strike is still an excellent killing skill and to be maxed as soon as the other two are done. Further explanation in the main guide.
	Reincarnation (R) When killed, this hero will come back to life at the cost some mana. Level 1 - 300 second cooldown. Level 2 - 220 second cooldown. Level 3 - 140 second cooldown. Mana Cost: 100/ 150/ 200 Cooldown: 300/ 220/ 140 Comment: Affectionately known as Rez, this is your most potent tanking skill: Leoric simply refuses to die. You resurrect with full hp AND MANA! Silence does not stop Rez, but insufficient mana DOES. Further explanation in the main guide.

Even though this guide has been here for a while, I feel that it is still up to date to most of the new version, if not completely.

Great Guide

Mask Of madness(important)
Vladimirs offering(important)
butterfly(important)
SnY
Satanic(important)
Battle fury(important)

none of the items above are good on him...He doesn't need more lifesteal, and increasing it won't make you live longer, just fall faster cause of lack of health (even with reincarnation)

@varaug

what are you talking?...yeah I guess those disablers will be just too stupid to disable you when you keep restoring your hp... besides mom AND satanic is just stupid. they dont stack...

495 By Varaug 2010-02-14

leoric cant die because of his vampiric aura...so if we increse that aura he wont be able to fall down even if he is versus 10 chars...the only thing u gotta do is hit hit hit and your life will full again and again and again...my built??

hellfire/stats build is a lot better early game since life steal is useless at that point. you shouldnt be hitting things, you should be last hitting/denying things.
my build is bf bot rad hot and aegis

486 By hiddenangelz 2010-01-02

i always thought i should only add +1 to hellfire blast for the stun only. and add vamparic aura and crit instead.

but this guide is good. it explained very well why u should max hellfire first.

and now i own.

485 By Saiyuki_Hakusho 2009-12-28

your guide is great anti mage is always runnin away from me. 10/10

484 By Shimrra_3 2009-12-27

I had those exact items once. Problem was the game ended about 30 seconds after I got the Rapier and everything was dead from before I got the Rapier. *grumble*

483 By island owner 2009-12-27

today I tried treads 3 bf aegis and divine rapier and I ended the game not using the aegis 22 0 10
5v5
great guide thanks a lot

482 By island owner 2009-12-26

"And it is +60 damage, which never hurts. "
about the desolator, I think never hurts would be the wrong way to talk about damage xD
great guide one of the best so far
