What's that blazing across the map... is it a plane? is it a bird? Or is it a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich?! No, silly, it's Super-wolf! AKA Banehallow, the lycanthrope. Lycan is an unusually underused hero, which is quite odd. He's incredibly strong, unbelievably fast, and almost unstoppable if played correctly. I hope this guide will help you to bring out the fierce wolf inside Banehallow :) This is my entry for the DotActics guide contest, hope I do okay ^^; EDIT: Changed according to new Lycan as of 6.54. Still working on finetuning a good strategy, but here's a few basic changes.
Go to Top

Banehallow

Banehallow - Lycanthrope


Range: 100 | Move Speed: 305
Primary: STR
Str: 22 + 2.75 | Agi: 16 + 1.9 | Int: 15 + 1.55
Damage: 53 – 57 | HP: 568 | Mana: 195
HP Regen: 0.91 | Mana Regen: 0.61
Attack Speed: 0.68 | Armor: 1
Summon Wolves Summon Wolves (V)
Summons 2 Spirit Wolves to fight the Lycanthrope's enemies.
Level 1 - Summons 2 weak wolves, lasts 55 seconds.
Level 2 - Summons 2 wolves that have Critical Strike, lasts 55 seconds.
Level 3 - Summons 2 strong wolves that have Critical Strike, lasts 55 seconds.
Level 4 - Summons 2 very strong wolves that have Critical Strike and Permanent Invisibility, lasts 55 seconds.
• If wolves are summoned during the duration of Howl, they will receive the damage bonus until the duration is up.
Mana Cost: 125
Cooldown: 30
Comment: This move USED to be so overpowered. Now the wolves no longer have bash, so it's slightly less useful. That's not to say that it isnt! Never underestimate the wolves! Their damage has increased, and when you're in ult form, they also run at full speed, so they dont really block your way anymore. Still a great harrassing tool.

Howl Howl (W)
An eerie loud howl grants an inner strength to all player controlled units.
Level 1 - Adds 11 damage to heroes, 4 damage to units, lasts 16 seconds.
Level 2 - Adds 22 damage to heroes, 8 damage to units, lasts 16 seconds.
Level 3 - Adds 33 damage to heroes, 12 damage to units, lasts 16 seconds.
Level 4 - Adds 44 damage to heroes, 16 damage to units, lasts 16 seconds.
• Affects all allied player-controlled units, not just those under Lycanthrope's control.
Mana Cost: 15/20/25/30
Cooldown: 35
Comment: Howl has been changed pretty crazily. It's no longer % damage, meaning better early game, but worse late game. However, it IS global, meaning getting it midgame can help a lot with ganks and such. Keep an eye out for people that might need a howl, or maybe have your allies type "H" when in need. 44 damage to 5 heros can get pretty sick.
Feral Impulse Feral Impulse (I)
Increases the attack damage and attack speed of the Lycanthrope and his units.
Level 1 - 10% damage increase, 10% attack speed increase.
Level 2 - 15% damage increase, 15% attack speed increase.
Level 3 - 20% damage increase, 20% attack speed increase.
Level 4 - 25% damage increase, 25% attack speed increase.
• Affects all units under the Lycanthrope's control, not just himself and his wolves.
Mana Cost: N/A
Cooldown: N/A
Comment: My strategy before was based mostly off of speed and quick kills. Now that feral heart no longer offers movement speed, that road went down the drain. In it's place, however, the damage bonus has been introduced, and it's a passive permanent effect. Also affects units, so wolves have a wonderful damage/atspd boost.
Shapeshift Shapeshift (F)
A Full Moon curdles the blood of the Lycanthropy. He transforms into a Wolf with extra hit points, Critical Strike, and increased attack speed. This gives him and his units the ability to move at a constant maximum speed and not be slowed.
Level 1 - 100 bonus hit points, lasts 14 seconds.
Level 2 - 200 bonus hit points, lasts 15 seconds.
Level 3 - 300 bonus hit points, lasts 16 seconds.
• Cannot be slowed by any spell, including Purge.
• If hexed, Lycanthrope continues to move at maximum movespeed.
• Lycanthrope's collision size is lowered in this state.
• While in this state, Lycanthrope will have a Base Attack Time of 1.4 seconds.
• Critical Strike is only available during Shapeshift.


Critical Strike ()


Description: Gives a 30% chance to deal 1.5 times your normal damage.

Mana Cost: 100
Cooldown: 100/70/40
Comment: Ahhh, the signature move of the werewolf... and it's been changed quite a bit as well. Not sure if I like it more or less, but it's certainly a formidable ult. Still turns into super-wolf, but the duration is unbelievably short, so you need to GO IN and KILL, no delays. He attacks fast, deals decent damage, and has high survivability due to more hp and maxed running speed. The no slow thing is gorgeous. Nobody can catch up to you, as long as you don't poof back in those 14-16 seconds.

My build:
strength treads
vladmir
cranium basher
black king bar
desolator
assault cuiras

This build empowers wolves incredibly.
Strike with lycan once(to activate orb effect) and see how wolves chew the victim.Dont forget to activate howl

353 By Chill77 2010-02-23

The build I use and I always kill with is:
power treads
cranium basher
satanic
Assault Cuirass
bloodstone
after this, u should be killing like crazy, so you might want to get divine rapiers, which go with his critical strike. U should sell treads.

352 By Chill77 2010-02-23

When played right, I find that if u have satanic, u don't need heart, as u can make ur own hp

351 By ghifari 2010-02-20

why there's no boots in every ur build?
actually i prefer SnY instead satanic for my orb because lycan has no slow...
good guide 9/10

350 By ROundTAble_ROTA 2010-02-18

dun waste lycan BAT..

mjolnir suits him perfectly

349 By ->F3lix<-/ 2010-02-18

Manta works better with wolfie than SnY...Increase his damage and HP so he can chase...Deso,Vlads,HoT,BKBand such are what he needs most...

348 By blawa2 2010-02-18

You maybe own because you are playing against noobs ... S&Y is such a fail

347 By vegim123 2010-02-18

i think i will buy to lycan this items:
1.bracers 2 of them
2.treads
3.sange and yasha
4.vladimir or satanic?
5.battle fury

that's all for everytime i play i do this and im owning!!

346 By Kimin00 2010-02-13

Nice guide but nid changes with item build and skill build,and guys..WE JUZ WANNA SEE THE GUIDE.PLZ DONT POST UR RIDICILOUS ITEM BUILD.WE DONT CARE!

345 By kevin.mnm 2010-02-13

Change the item builds.. Bash doesn't stack anymore.

Treads, Vlads, Basher, Hyperstone and HOT. Epic.

344 By Vita.NovA 2010-02-07

nvm what i said

343 By Vita.NovA 2010-02-07

according to this guide

wolves have bash

equals

old guide.

342 By [ZOMG_NEGROES] 2010-02-07

S&Y is not good on lycan because you don't need the ms, you don't need the agi, and you don't need the small attack speed. Deso is better because it allows you to kill really f-ing fast.

341 By [ZOMG_NEGROES] 2010-02-07

@328 Phase boots are needed because in wolf form you are easily blocked by your wolves and creeps. The extra attack speed from treads isn't needed. Lycan can EASILY solo roshan at level 10. summon your wolves, wait for the cool down to be like 1/3 done and go in. once they die re summon. rinse wash repeat. (You need vlads to more easily do this though)

340 By Morphling89 2010-02-07

Couple other items I forgot to mention:

BKB
Satanic
Basher.

Personally, I prefer getting Deso or BKB to a Basher, since you have enough ms to chase and attack heroes, and basher has no synergy with Vlads, your core item. Deso, in contrast, has great synergy with Vlads and wolves. BKB is highly effective to counter a stun heavy team - BKB+ult on a farmed Lycan is genuinely frightening.

Satanic vs. Heart is situational and depends on if they have a disable heavy team (Heart), else get Satanic.

339 By Morphling89 2010-02-05

Best items for Lycan:

Bracers
Strength Treads
Vlads
Armlet of Mordiggian
Deso
Heart / AC (luxury)

It's important to jungle well (rushing Vlads lets you do so) and priority should be Wolves, then Feral Impulse, then Howl.

Make sure to pay attention to the map to know when Howl could provide your team with a big boost.

338 By Nikolas21 2010-02-04

@334 Me too. Are we such pros?

337 By Alpharush 2010-02-04

Helm of Dominator? And the Wolves? Is obviously, vlads is the best lifesteal for lycan, newb

336 By chesterdotdrums 2010-01-18

@334 We have the same build except sometime I change SnY to Satanic

335 By Brian_bg 2010-01-15

Streads, AoM, Vlads, Desolator/BKB, BKB/Desolator, HoT.
