This Strategy is Reaper666's entry for Dota Strategy's contest, hope you enjoy it. N'aix is a killing machine, and my favorite hero, This is my first strategy, and hopefully, with this guide, I'll show you how to destroy everyone and survive possibly with 100% hp left, Some people think this is a weak hero, some think he's strong, I say, its all about the tactics, he's extremely strong, but only if used right, and is probably why some people say he's weak, they cant figure out how to play him right, read this and not only will you be godlike but most enemies wont be able to get away. prepare to be hated by your enemies and making Ursa warriors and Centaurs scream and run at the sight of you.

	N`aix - The Lifestealer Range: 100 \| Move Speed: 300 Primary: STR Str: 25 + 2.4 \| Agi: 18 + 1.9 \| Int: 15 + 1.75 Damage: 52 - 62 \| HP: 625 \| Mana: 195 HP Regen: \| Mana Regen: Attack Speed: \| Armor: 2
	Rage (R) Naix goes into a maddened rage, becoming immune to magic spells and gaining increased attack speed. Level 1 - 30% Increased Attack Speed and Magic Immunity. Lasts for 2.5 seconds. Level 2 - 45% Increased Attack Speed and Magic Immunity. Lasts for 3.25 seconds. Level 3 - 60% Increased Attack Speed and Magic Immunity. Lasts for 4 seconds. Level 4 - 80% Increased Attack Speed and Magic Immunity. Lasts for 4.75 seconds. Mana Cost: 75 Cooldown: 15 Comment: A multifunction skill, at level 4 (of the skill not the hero) usually when you press this your hp will start going up as the enemy's hp will drop rapidly which will cause him to run which will cause you to Open wound him and laugh, more uses will be discussed further on.
	Feast (F) Regenerates a portion of enemy's current HP and deals the same portion per attack. Level 1 - 4% Level 2 - 5% Level 3 - 6% Level 4 - 7% Mana Cost: N/A Cooldown: N/A Comment: Your insane lane staying, hero destroying skill, this is the reason people will stay away from you, and why you dont need too much hp at the beginning even tho you will have a nice amount probably.THEORETICAL example for those of you who don't get it: You have 1000hp centaur has 2000hp, you hit you deal 7% of his hp now he's at 93% and 1860hp, you did 140dmg and heal for 140 which is 14% of your hp!!! and is why i said your hp doesnt matter that much 1on1 atleast.. this is THEORETICAL armor etc will affect the outcome of the fight ofcoures.
	Open Wounds (W) N'aix rends the enemy, slowing his movespeed and allowing his allies to feast on his life force, regenerating a portion of the damage dealt. The victim slowly recovers movement speed over 8 seconds. Level 1 - 10% Level 2 - 15% Level 3 - 20% Level 4 - 25% Mana Cost: 110 Cooldown: 30/25/20/15 Comment: Another multifunction skill, this thing is for Chasing, escaping and helping allies, Insane too, this skill can make you win starting with 30% hp vs 100% hp enemy. altho it wont be enough to chase lots of the times, but we'll fix that.
	Infest (T) The Lifestealer tears its way into the unfortunate body of a target unit, laying dormant and undetectable inside its living frame until he is ready to consume it and come to form. Regains health from the infested unit. Level 1 - Allied and Neutral units. Consumes current health. Level 2 - Allied, Enemy and Neutral units. Consumes current health. Level 3 - Allied, Enemy and Neutral units. Consumes max health. Mana Cost: 50 Cooldown: 100/60/30 seconds Comment: The enemy will hate you if they actually hurt you and you escape and come back 30secs later with 100% hp and only 50mana less cause you found a nice little centaur at the jungle , not to mention when they are about to kill you and you disappear into one of their monsters leaving them confused and then pop out of nowhere healed and kill them, this skill is great, its for healing, instant killing of Dominated creatures or neutrals or creeps, and can be used to surprise or move across the map without getting hurt, ill explain later on.

Life Stealer would have to be one of the best 1v1. 4k at the start is almost enuf for the entire game. Unfortunitly, more than 2 players sees you weak at the start as he needs to stack lifesteal. My 3v3 stradegy is.....

Feast

Infest
Open ect.......

This makes him Insane by level 10.

Now all you need is Cranium Basher as you should already have got Yasha, Vlads and power treads.

Life Stealer wont need anything else now.

280 By Crib-Midget 2009-10-06

A item i found that works really well with N'aix is a desolater the armour reduction works wonders :D

279 By Spazz 2009-09-24

Well done

278 By ntts 2009-09-23

If you build vladimir and then infest someone they will know someone is out there,if you surprise them the first time,they will be a lot more careful the next ones!

Thanks brother! I really apreciate it!

276 By simbamt 2009-09-19

A fun fact for any naix players you can hide in clones at least confirmed with phantom lancers but i assume that means all clones if you can pop into one of phantom lancers new clones in teh woods let them all disappear or grab a bunch of health real fast the oppurtunities are endless.

a very nice guide. Really helped in playing against friends

274 By lambo9q 2009-09-06

hmmm i like the guide it is so accrute

273 By Arylion 2009-09-04

my ideal build for naix is:
radiance
PT
vlads
AC
HoT
AoM.
This is a hard build somewhat, especially if teammates dont know how to lane while you neut (which seems to be a frequent problem when I play naix)
Other than that, hes a great hero

272 By JaCko | Noob 2009-08-29

this is a little of constructive criticism. i dont understand why you dont develop open wounds early? its much easier to regenerate and chase down any fast moving heroes. and if your allies are low on hp, this would make an excellent ganking/support skill. Otherwise very nice guide 9/10 good work!

CAN I BUY HELM OF DOMINATOR INSTEAD THE VLADYMIR HUH?! OK FEEDBACK FAST THANKS :D

270 By Kakashi231 2009-08-26

When ur up against phantom lancer its tough to fight him. like seriously tough.

269 By Kakashi231 2009-08-26

i played naix before it was fuun to play with him and like hes great against axe cuz the ulti and the other ablitys are resisted from his attacks which axes ulti is very powerful and deadly ive also used the armlet against him and like it works and makes sence to use it for him because u ativate it and like u own instantly but once u get to low hp hightail it out of there and deactivate the armlet but when axes, battle hunger is active dont deactivate it other wise its a kill for axe.
