Hi, this isnt my first strategy, but i think the other strategies are too skimpy to be approved so i am making this more detailed and TRY to get it approved. Ok, this guide basically tries to teach people how to play Sven in a way which benefits the team most (most IMO) Definitely not the guide to getting lots of kills and streaks. I would also like to thank other RK strategy makers like Loze etc and everyone who commented on it (exclude spammers but including some flammers)

	Sven - The Rogueknight Range: 125 \| Move Speed: 295 Primary: STR Str: 23 + 2.7 \| Agi: 21 + 2.0 \| Int: 14 + 1.3 Damage: 54 – 56 \| HP: 587 \| Mana: 182 HP Regen: 0.94 \| Mana Regen: 0.57 Attack Speed: 1.47 \| Armor: 1
	Storm Bolt (T) Targets an area around an enemy unit and releases a magical hammer dealing damage and stunning enemy units. Level 1 - Deals 100 damage and stuns Level 2 - Deals 175 damage and stuns Level 3 - Deals 250 damage and stuns Level 4 - Deals 325 damage and stuns Sven strikes with such force that all nearby enemies take damage. Mana Cost: 140 Cooldown: 16 Comment: Has a casting range of 525. Blocked by linken, and unable to target Magic immuned units. Activation of Avatar after the casting but before the impact will make the bolt useless. The projectile can be dodge by some skills. This is your one of your main skill.
	Great Cleave (C) Sven strikes with such force that all nearby enemies take damage. Level 1 - 20% damage is splash. Level 2 - 30% damage is splash. Level 3 - 40% damage is splash. Level 4 - 50% damage is splash. Mana Cost: N/A Cooldown: N/A Comment: Correction: 10/20/30/40% damage is splashed AOE of 175 This skill is situational. If there are heroes which holds enemies in place, then take this right after toughness aura. Also, if your team have problem clearing large creep waves, you can consider getting this skill early.
	Warcry (W) With the righteous anger of one wielding Justice, Sven lets loose a mighty Warcry, heartening his allies for battle. Sven and nearby allies gain movespeed and increased armor. Level 1 - Gives +3 armor and 12% movespeed for 6 seconds in a 350 AoE. Level 2 - Gives +6 armor and 12% movespeed for 6 seconds in a 350 AoE. Level 3 - Gives +9 armor and 12% movespeed for 6 seconds in a 350 AoE. Level 4 - Gives +12 armor and 12% movespeed for 6 seconds in a 350 AoE. Mana Cost: 25 Cooldown: 36/30/24/18 Comment: Correction: Increases base armor by 2/3/4/5 Its a very useful aura. Helps in pushes and team fights. Not as worth as stats to get early but still a useful skill once reached mid game.
	God`s Strength (R) Sven gets pumped up! Adds bonus damage for 25 seconds. Level 1 - Adds 100% damage. Level 2 - Adds 125% damage. Level 3 - Adds 150% damage. Mana Cost: 100 /150/ 200 Cooldown: 80 seconds Comment: Can be purged. This is great hero killing + raxing skill. Just be very careful whens theres diffusal blade.

My item build :
1 PT (I rather go ganking with Sven)
2 MoM
3 HoT
4 BattleFury,Situational : Butterfly/Satanic
5 Assault Cuirass
6 Empty - sometime its filled with TPs, Aegis, Runes or Cranium (Cranium is quite effective for him especially with high ASPD and i got many kills with "OMG","WTF!","LOL","NOOB!" and many more :D lol)
*with all those+cranium, you're just simply have to be hated and loved.

OUT DATED
MORE SCREENIES

223 By 11wavework11 2009-11-01

I like to play him as a tank.
Boots of travel OR Power treads OR Phase Boots
HoT
Vanguard
Eye of Skadi would be nice, but i do not really recommend it
Black King Bar if other team has many spell spammers/ nukers
BattleFury might be great to have, and sure, it boosts your hp regen, but the heart is enough to fulfil the role as a tank.
Burizo is a luxury item, but works really well on RK.

update plz.

218 By HookshotHero 2009-10-07

Power Treads
Mask of Madness
Heart of Tarrasque
Buriza-do Kyanon
Black King Bar
Monkey King Bar

Overall greate guide, 9/10.

217 By riscadw 2009-09-29

Hand of Midas
Phase Boots
Vanguard/Hood if there are casters
Mask of Madness
Blademail
Lothars
Heart

With all that attack speed, you tear through battles as if it were nothing. You can make it to those late items quickly because of the Hand of Midas.
Throw up blademail, hit mask of madness and you can 3v1 4v1 or 5v1 against most teams. The reason you do get lothars is that you run in, injure everyone and once your blademail ends, lothars out, let team engage, then re-engage.

212 By mikedh08 2009-08-27

Is anyone making a Sven guide? I think I'll start one...

211 By mikedh08 2009-08-27

Completely agree with post 200... You need AoM and MoM for pure ownage... And I don't know about you... but I like double/triple/ultra etc. kills, so i get a bfury...

bfury
treads
mom
aom
heart
bkb

Proceed to pwn.

does assault cuirass' aura and sven' aura stack?

209 By bobbob247 2009-08-13

He is a far better hero in my opinion, and with all spells not on cooldown, I think Sven can win.

Sven, the Rogue Knight
