This is an official entry for DotActics Hero Guide Contest and I am proud to say that this is my very first hero guide creation. Now why did I opt to choose Banehollow? This is because I’ve always been fond of using Banehollow ever since I started to play Dota All-Stars and I’ve developed and grown proficient in using this hero. Consequently, I am convinced enough to start my very first guide regarding The Lycanthrope seeing that there are less strats about him. Banehollow to most people isn’t that strong but nonetheless he is not that weak either. That is why Banehollow is not that popular in pub games and online games. Well, as what I have observed anyway. IMO, Banehollow is one of those heroes that can adapt into different situations when needed. Built to be a hero killer, pusher, carry, tanker and into other types. I propose a different outlook for Banehollow, moreover, with this strategy I hope with optimism that Banehollow would be viewed differently.

Comment: More movement speed! More attack speed! Gwaaaaah!!! Plus added HP and Critical Srikes! That’s 10% chance to double it! What more can you ask for from this skill?

So don’t falter in using this skill for you may lose a chance for what may be the unsurpassed opportunity for its activation. This skill will be also discussed later on.

Satanic and Aghanims stack fully on all heroes.

198 By Chill77 2010-02-25

Also, does anyone know if two lifesteals stack? for example satanic and aghanims

197 By Chill77 2010-02-25

When was last time u played? Lycan has no need for vanguard. If he has lifsteal, he'll tear through.

196 By pLoki 2010-01-14

2 bashers no longer stacks
Sorry

195 By gordon1 2009-10-31

no pics

194 By RockinNeal 2009-10-21

Bish,God knows If u ever played with Lycan properly coz of the comment of urs on Howl.

Someday,when U'll actually play DotA n read the powers U'll realize Howl affects ALL ALLIED HEROES on the ENTIRE MAP.
So no need 2 "Estimate Distance"
or Bullshit!!

193 By imy16 2009-10-10

does the 2 basher stack?

192 By holyslayer 2009-09-29

this is a 8/10 guide ^^ 1/10 because there's no more img (or i can't see it :S) and another 1/10 because at mid/late game he is AWESOME (you don't die in 3vs1... i don't say you kill but... don't die ^^) but in early can be better than this because i get killed only in early (im not a pro but it's easy to see that you have a low power in early and not only by the skills).

191 By icko_let 2009-09-15

is there a bash for summoned wolves?

190 By Venom1988 2009-09-13

upload new pics !

189 By Annujan 2009-09-12

This is really nice guide i used him in an ai map first to try then in a real game and my score was 11-0 before my FIRST DEATH THANKS DUDE U ROCK!!!

188 By Kobe_81 2009-09-02

creeping with wolves alone is sick. massive mounts of money, specially in non-em games where money is so much more valuable.

187 By vaughn118 2009-09-02

well im harry potter and my build is treads vlads basher satanic radiance mkb

186 By dota_noobie 2009-08-31

I understand that his wolves are necessary for farming/harassing purposes during early game, but when it comes to killing heroes you really, really are strong enough with just Howl and FI (+ PT, Basher, vlads and 2 bracers).. It certainly makes things much easier, you do not have to micro those wolves and along with ur basher/ howl/Feral Impulse/wolve form you have just sick damage output... would be bit of an overkill to also send ur dear wolves out

185 By ikillu 2009-08-17

nigeltcl i totally agree because there are no orbs wen gettin vlads and then u can get sange n yasha or some other orb

184 By knoxed 2009-08-08
