The Deadly Night Stalker

nice item build,, same as mine except for the tarrasque.... usually when i play this hero i only buy tarrasque if i cant think of an item nice for him..

wow nice guide. just boots of travel instead of treads. since you already attack so fast, you movment speed will help a lot

This is a good guide and is pretty much how i play NS...no, treads are good what i like to do, if you are soloing, is when the first night starts go straight back to base and buy treads (if you can afford it) because this will make the most of your Aspd and MS bonuses.... So nice guide....

Comment: This skill turns day time into night time instantly. However, as day time turned into night, the timer stops for the normal day/night timer and only after the effect of your skill is over, will the timer start again. Therefore only use this skill AT NIGHT, hence making the enemy in "Darkness" longer. However, you may use this in day time when trying to escape in emergencies. This skill DOES NOT coast any mana.

So, you're saying not to use this at daytime? I dunno but I think you mean: "Use this as often as you can". Whether it's say or night, it should be night as often as possible for you. So during night, make the night longer, during day u can just use it, why let it waste? Escape is good, but whats there to run for if you just pwnd 2-3 opponents?

nice strat though, gj

this strategy owns i know but i think the better orb for him is desolator yes i tried it and it owns more than with sny they will die whenever they see you

good guide xcept i disagree on the item build i prefer a skadi to the SnY simply because it give you greater damage and some mana and that fantastic slow which keeps even the fastest from escaping. Hopefully my balanar guide will be out soon. Its been a couple weeks

What I am saying for the Darkness skill is that you should try use it at NIGHT as much as possible. This way, you are extending the night time.

you need at least a spree by the end of the first night to have any luck mid/late game, i tried you build and got to unstoppable :) i am liking this, i killed the SnY late game and replaced it with a desolator.

i like hyperstones, next time a hyper instead of SnY and i will tell you if it works, i might break the attack speed limit, if dota has one that is

sweet guide own so many noobs with it!!!

250ish ias with MoM instead of satanic and 2 hyperstones

hmmm..... i prefer desolator cuz of the eat tru armour damage .... -6 is alot u know.... and i wont go for EoS.... why the slow effect when u have void slowing for 4 sec... wit he's aspd and movespeed... 4 secs is MORE THAN enuff.... ohhh u can have both desolator and SnY... but make sure to put desolator at the top left corner so u will gain the -6 armour + the 10% movespeed...

hmm.. not so impressive strat but nice with the effort though. aegis and divine for late game? you can just go with basher and deso it'll help killing faster making the game finish earlier.

hmmmmm very good indeed

concerning desolator, any orb is fine really, but sny is really there for ms

this is a bit of a problem, when its late game and im not doing well enough 2 finish my item build all i have is sny a few bracers and treads, but i never ever get past mkb, when i AM pwning well enough 2 get it every1 leaves, so you never actually GET to the end of the plan/guide in a game cause they r either dead or they left or your screwed.

and b4 i go, i just thought i should say, stealth assassain is a real threat because you cant take out permanent invisiblity unless its night time so thats 1/3 of the time where u cant do anything

Good build, S&Y can help farm during the day as well.

One question: I played NS till very late game where everyone is nearly lvl 25, as you know NS is not a disabler, nuker or his skills any spectacular (hopeless in day). What items should i get? I had Treads, 2 hearst, MKB, S&Y but still getting pawned.
Is NS really sucky at late game or can he still owe with another itembuild.
What abour desolator to compensate for his skills when it becomes useless late game?

nicely organised guide

do you bouhgt a divine rapier using balanar before.i did i can kill hero easily.i also like your strategy.my item is same as your.

War_Wrecker, have you try using any life steal items? Since with your god like attack speed, a life steal is really useful.

hummMMm....nice

Great guide... I practically use the same item build and same skill build as you do...

Great guide... I practically use the same item build and same skill build as you do... But most ppl dont know that when you use Darkness at night, you can freeze time during the night so if possible use Darkness at night as much as possible and use it during the day to kill or if you are about to be killed use it to flee from your enemy.. Great guide!

RoR,Boots,Sobi,Treads,MoM should be your order...

interesting item build, but usually use > power treads, Vladimir, 2 basher, MKB and I always win

hell yeah ok good job i love u cmon lets kiss good strat see u later

why MKB BURIZA-DO KYANON is most better what

Na-ahh... Not working... Balanar is a chaser... You need that HoT or a lifesteal earlier...

i usually get hyperstone as my 1st item. followed by vlad's. then top it off with butterfly. nightstalker is unstoppable. might wanna upgrade boots to power threads also. the last item depends on how the game is going but for me it usually finishes by then.

Great guide, just like how I play Balanar. I like the emphasis on returning home or finding runes. It's amazing how quick you can return to ownage during the night.

i tried using arcane ring for night stalker iwas beyond godlike cus void was realy powerful to use.. try it

My build is , sny, 2 bashers, mkb and HoT...OWNAGE

Good guide 8/10 !

Great guide 9/10

BTW: Treads+S&Y is much better since you have 521ms @ nighttime. BoT is overkill.

any update of this hero!

Why not buying twin basher? Basher owned!

i think is better is sy and 2 bashers satanic travel tarras.. hehehehe i think only but your advice is 8/10
^_^

excelent guide

woah! nice! :D

yeh good build, but have u taken into account that movement speed does not stack any more, so sange and yasha wont give u any movement speed, thats why i reckon a basher would be better, to slow them down

will satanic work with sange and yasha?

nice guide should i use vladimire's offering instead of satanic?

how can i defeat the nukers in 1 on 1 apnp game tinker,zeus,viper,etc.

nice strategy man
but y a buriza for a strength hero is it really necessary for balanar.......
i think the satanic and the radiance + what abt a basher just a suggestion

it works! but late game i prefer to use double basher with burza and divine

gees with this guy i usually get a cranium or two, since his attack speed is godlike, therefore after u void u'll slow if its nite, and u wack ur opponent, u'l stun

oh and tats rite.....satanic is good

well ther is one thing wrong.. if the hero is a str hero and u kno has quite a bit of hp then when u go up and void it only slows 4 like 3 seconds so i suggest maybe basher ?? so they cant get away idk just puttin that out ther most people frown on the basher with NS

I love it. Nice job.

tanga basherx2 bobo!!!!!!!!para stun pero pede na din ang mkb at sange at yasha

Nice item build bro but u should place hyperstone to ensure your OWNAGE at night

i would prefer 2 cranium bashers over S&Y since with CB they wont be able to run away and wont be able to attack you either. Buriza for the finishing touches,, :)

nice strat dude, i learner a lot by reading this... now i know how to play Balanar perfectly... tnx

hey, fullmetal... build sange and yasha first then double basher, you need speed first baby, more speed means more chance

Um i dont know why people in their comments keep saying "get sny and satanic" because both items are orb effects and the maim from sny wont stack with the lifesteal of satanic.

excelente paborito

Hey
I wanted 2 ask "is it good to buy Basher for Night Stalker. if yes then what stage of game?

Thnax

why not boots of Travel?

wow this guide really helped me alot!!

pleese post some updates on this guide

Because his movespeed is already 521 out of a possible 522, making 35% aspd far more valuable. Plus you save gold.

Hmmmmmmm.... I would recommend a basher instead of an MKB...

Sorry guys for not being on much I was away at vacation :D~ anyways. Basher isn't effective enough if you don't combined it with a speed booster. As you know, NS is not a speed hero, but rather a strength one. The reason for Y&S instead of basher is that it gives you HP bonuse and most importantly 512 speed at night when combined with Trends. I am still testing new items builds such as the new armor and other things. However, it is most likely that I stick with this build. For those ppl who ask about ns being in late game, yes he sucks. Therefore, you must take everything u can to finish it before everyone reaches god-like items or lvl 25. :D

ChainRule - out

why u not use cranium basher?

mkb is very good too, but cranium + mkb = owning! :D

So .. does satanic stack with SnY?

but for new version of dota best for night stalker is assualt currias

wow nice guide im noob at dis buh i tried it and it seem really good !! thanx for it

wow nice guide im noob at dis buh i tried it and it seem really good !! thanx for it

http://www.dotastrategy.com/images/smileys/wink.gif

assualt currias is simply too expensive to have!

For the santic question:

here's the thing~ if you want the life steal you can first equip santanic and then Sage&Yasha, this way you won' thave orb effect from S&Y but Santanic. Another way is to make RoB + Mask of Death and the 1000$ recipi! S&Y is mainly used for diables ..since the stun is so very very short >

The reason I don't recommand Basher is because it's simply not powerful enough for NS. NS needs damage given his great speed. The point of stun mostly is so that heros cannot cast spell and cannot run away. Since you already have a slow spell (void) and a slience spell (Fear), there is no point gettin basher at all!

can we use permabash since he got a nice IAS in the night?

love the guide pwnd my friends lol

Night stalker solo? ROFL! He's a melee hero with near 0 lane control he needs a lane partner.

smart people in this room

great guide man.. but a basher would also be a great item to go with the SnY.. right?

nice !!!! use 2xbasher instead of SAY

Well, this is a good guide and the items are good. But my items are:
1) treads
2) 2 or 3 bracers
3) SnY
4) hyperstone
5) heart
the build is not soo expensive and its good. Comments?
4)
4)

alert('helo!');

really cool strategy man. loved every bit of it.

nice strat but very expensive item build.. do you can really purchase that items before the game ends?

for the sixth item get EoS( superslow plus the skills that already slowdown enemies

nice item build but for the satanic. u hav a sange n yasha. they ARE BOTH ORB effects. so wuld u sell ur sange n yasha for a satanic?

Yes for the orb effect problem, simply equip Stantanic first than S&Y. However with the new items come out, Virderme's offering? (can't spell)~ it's life steal and not orb effect!

And for those who are asking for Basher...NS is NOT a stun hero and 2 bashers simply wastes slots.

Bashers first of all does NOT have good damage.

2nd of all, you need S&Y to reach max speed at night combined with Tred. Stunning people is only useful for disable...which S&Y has (maim = slow + extremly short stun but nevertheless disable)

NS is a chase + kill hero, not a stunner. 2 Basher build would decrease the DPS (Damage Per Second) which is bad since this guide is fouce on BANG kill :D

nice guides... but i used battle fury for this hero.. it's okay or not???

This is a sucky guide liek I own u all liek this hero is teh pwnage liek i am the_pwnerer liek this hero can take any hero down and stunners r liek no fight for him and stuff he liek owns all stunners theyre n00bs liek u r all noobs u suck i own u with my toes on the keyboard u liek suck.

nice guide very useful and effective, like he say if possible built item depends on the game situations....
rate 9/10

nice item build, except i usually get 4 bracers and one boot of travel, but great strategy...

why cannot use butterfly??
it also increase atkspd

this is a very good strategy. the only thing that i think would be better is if you had a basher instead of one of the bracers.

i am kinda new to dota and i was woundering if anyone could give me any more info on this guy thats not listed as possible thanks

umm... works like mine, but i prefer satanic more than sange-yasha... with that, u won't back 2 base in mid-game anymore... anyway, good strat, 7/10

Nice guide, i tried this guide first time when i played night stalker and god beyond GL.

.

cool guild but when facing range hero in the early game it is hard to farm without reg on hp...

I have never lost using the night stalker 1v1 with this kinds of strategy
never.

I'm sorry, I know I'm gonna get flamed, but this dude needs to get nerfed

during the whole game you almost never can get all of these items. i would buy buriza after S&Y.
balanar has got very high attack speed at night so you will get many criticals

i love u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cool build!

bkt wlang basher?? weak nmn for noobs tlga .. tsk.. tsk..

This guide is easy enough to understand for a realtively DotA newb like me. :) good job! I'll try this out later :D

hey dude hu ever posted this thing item build man at the end when u have nothing else to buy get a fukn reaver .....u fukn smack em all
Glad Smile Sad Surprised Confused Cool
Laughing Mad Bleh! Hmm Depressed Hysterical
Guilty Wink Confident

Sange and Yasha are for noobs. Get vlad's offering as your 1st item(don't have to complete it, juz the ring and mask 1st). Then get a hyperstone(trust me, u won't regret this). Then save up and proceed to sacred relic(radiance build). Last item can either be butterfly or heart of t depending on the game. There you go, for one perfect and deadly night stalker(ultimate hero killer).

Oh yeah, forget about the treads. Get them too.

Mmm 10/10 good guide nice item build

sny is a complete waste
he already has slow and incredible as and ms at night making the bonuses on sny negligible
he should get a few bracers and farm satanic right away

Good basic build

well nice build but divine rapier is exp...i will go with two basher as night att spd is high and the opponent will be stun 99% of the time at night...a santanic...2 basher...a power tread...a MKB...WIll Own

u shud get a mom instead of SnY to
make u almost as fast at day time when activated

This guide was awesome, first time in a while playing as him and i got 6-2 thanks man. i know ill do alot better next game :)

This guide was awesome, first time in a while playing as him and i got 6-2 thanks man. i know ill do alot better next game :)

Remarkable strategy, thank you for this mate

Good guide at all

wala b maganda jan ?

cool guide 4 beginners.BRAVO.......

this character is cool

omg best guide ever!! I pwned all my friends lol! 10/10

I think you should max out crippling fear coz you can silence your enemy, unable to cast spell. Plus the 40% chance miss, it's like a free evasion from butterfly. You don't need stat yet coz your a monster at night. When my enemy is balanar and if it's night, All of us stays together up until the night ends hehe.. It's hard to kill balanar 1 on 1 at night because of his void and he can run fast. So the only way is to gank him

What I meant above was max out crippling fear after void..

good strategy i think...
huh...

divine rapier is just for the experts

ill lvl up darkness at lvl 10-11 cuz den it'll be 2nd morning cuz when ur lvl 6 its already. night so why waste ir when u can max void / hunting in the night !!!

this guide is for noobs only you know

what about skadi for NS? strictly for the slow proc?

very goodstrat.. but MKB cancels buriza's crit hitsoinstead of buriza buy a radiance

you should throw a hyperstone in there instead of the heart and a vladmir's offering is probably better for ns than satanic (especially early game)

Lifesteal + uber attack speed = immortal balanar

Ive Heard to get refresher orb.. makes it almost perma night?

I think the real items are
>power treads
>sange and yasha
>stanic
>vladimirs offerin
and thats all......
i think that in this point nothing can touch u. u can even make a triple kill i did many times

Good reading. I will try this tutorial out tonight. Thanks alot!

BALANAR!!!! F***ing rocks! ahahahaha. Thanks for the strat. S&Y and MKB rapes! Got a 10/1 streak. Died at the end with motred because I got jumped from behing while fighting creeps. Almost killed him but he had some lifesteal stuff. But I pawned him and Lina and Centaur one after the other at the end! AWESOME! Such a good feeling.

CAN I ASK WHO'S THE WEAKNESS OF BALANAR
CANT DEFEAT MY BROTHER

people have been asking for late game pwnn; satanic/bashers/bkb/crits. big numbers + lifesteal + stun + avatar is about the best you can do late game.

does ange and yasha's maim orb effect and satanics life steal orb effect stack?

Did crippling fear get nerfted? i think it only make them miss attack now

Oh boy~ the weakness? lol~
well~ I'd say stunners~

Well, this build is working around to give NS his ultimate 522 walking speed at night!

look at this combination..and someone tell me if works out!!

sange and sasha + monkey bar + basher + travel + vladimir + butterfly

Hmm, that build could work, however, would lack some major damage. You see, Night Stalker isn't a stunner, Basher is a weapon such that it's stun is more important than its damage. Basher has low damage for an item compared to its price. If I were you, I wouldn't give up my maybe at least 30+ dam for a 15% stun chance.

I was playing against Templar assassin and got owned quite a few times (of course I got ganked by juggernaut as well) and it was really hard. I even killed sven - hard to do even with MKB and S&Y, but I did by casting fear and void one after the other. But those psionic traps killed me - 50% slow is too much for balanar (at max mov speed 521 50% is only 260!) and she had a deso and killed me. Worst enemy - I've fought against so many others but by far sucked against her! Pls advice!

It is a problem indeed that the traps slows NS down a lot. However, if that happens, you might want to add some lifesteal items into your inventory but that would mean leaving some damage behind. Another thing you can do is always keep a town portal in your inventory till you fill up all your space. I still need to do more tests against all the new heros; updates are coming :) Thank you for supporting!

yehey

Yeah "Chainrule".... Pls. Templar is way too unbalanced. I wish they'd fix it already. Meld and refraction is ridiculous and so is the passive that reduces armour! -10????!!!! WTF?

jolav on comment 91 STFU u fucking chicken shit ure the 1 thats crap go fuck your mum nice guide btw 10/10

Thank you Thank you. Just finished my Destroyer Guide, check it out guys. The testings are still under beta, gathering some numbers and calculating. I'm updating NS with all the new heroes. For those who can't wait, facing Templar Assassin, use Mask of Madness with Heart instead of S&Y. The point is to break the refraction before she can even act! You might want to add some armors. But a much more detailed guide on facing her alone is coming! Thank you all for supporting!

Can't wait! I've beat so many guys with this hero. Everytime I play I can't wait till first night... It's hunting time bitches! Only fucking templar! I tried mask of madness, but no time to get to HoT! The game's already over by the time I get around to it. By then we've either lost because of Templar (unless we have bloodseeker or someone good on our team) or we've won cause we ganked that bitch (hooray for gems!)!

And hooray for fear!

les pica el culo

les pica el culo

lol! i changed the build a bit and got a satanic and buriza instead of S&Y and MKB. Works so well. More damage + attack speed + life steal = better balanar late game! He still sucks, but he's better! You never get to the point when you can actually build MKB after that unless you neutral creep for 10 mins! but then you miss out on juicy kills, LOL!

Yeah, I suppose so. If you use that, you'd miss the 522 hunting speed that I intent to do with this guide :)

yeah, i suppose so, too... But i found it makes him better late game. I like your build, it's efficient, but against heroes like spirit breaker and blood seeker he has a tough time with just MKB and S&Y. he needs something more and getting an HoT is too costly late game...

Indeed, however this guide tends to end the game before late game :) As you have tried this guide, it brings you to super ownage when the conditions are right~ which means people will either quit, or you just keep pushin :)

And Balanar life ?
His hp regeneration is horrible

Yes of course~ which that's why you get the heart. However, during early and mid game, you just use +str items to boost hp so that you'd kill :)

Well, the guys I play with don't quit and keep playing until the ancient is down. So it's for times like that I'd prefer buriza and probably even a basher (???). What do you think?

No doubt he's probably one of my fav melee str heroes!

If that's the case then yeah disable and critical is important. You might want to considerate the new item that has the armor aura and IAS aura.

lvl 1 pump fear 1st is the best, also buy mom first then buy buriza... i owned plll ; 36-0 with wat i did , way too cool ...

If you have buriza and satanic you dont need a tarasque any more???

he means choose from either heart or satanic. Nice build. Got me 24-0

Thank you Thank you! I hope you all get it that this build gives you the exciting heart-beating-fast-owning feeling :)

nice strategy!!!

Awesome guide i OWNED with it bt if you play in pro games theres always a spirtbreakr and late game they can still win.gj with strat.

UR STRATEGY OWNS!!!!!

how about battle fury, that would be sweet for more gold and pushing compasity.

correction:
sage&yasha should be saNge&yasha
power trends should be power threAds....
even if u have sum wrong spellings........nic strat

very nice indeed...
a strength hero, becoming as fast as an aguility hero, and doing amazing damage, without chance of escaping... Crazy man

also, the item build is very nice, make u survive... arg

threads on night stalker are purely retarded, with travels, he can at night have free haste with a max speed of about 522ms. Sy is good since it has maim and speed but you also need vlads offerings a heart a buriza and assualt cuirass.

this guy should bi
1.sange&yasha
2.basher
3.2 tarrasque
4.radiance
5.buriza
or
1.sange&yasha 2.divine 3.radiance
4.basher 5.1 heart n lothars for agility n killin

Thank you Thank you for pointing out my Spelling mistakes! However, if I change it, it'd take time for our busy moderators to validate for this guide. ^^ I hope you guys don't mind reading a few mistakes here and there as long as you understand.

Good :D he owns

I would not waste money on bracer I just buy belt ASAP same str and cheaper buy vlad's it helps you kill roshan with S&Y, power threads and vlad's at level 18 at night

you should have shown begginers how to use darkness it is a very important skill late game to double the time of night and for ambushing and escaping during the day

I'd like BoT than Tread

Agree on item build & skill build. Well done.

Your grammar and spelling mistakes made me laugh abit though.

10/10 if I ignore them

I used this guide and i found it damn useful for the item, skill build and strategy. But i lost in the game when i team up with rexxar against furion, rina and w.doc. i got 28 kill but i lost in the end. As for the start, i don think u can go up to lvl 8 for the 1st night to fall although the opponent doens't deny creeps. And when i got to lvl 25 i only farm till mkb and 1 m.reaver. Then i lost edi. i like this guide though. Thx..

nice strategy!! with this items balanar will be godlike!!

This hero is a faggot!

nice after seeing dis strat im owning wid balanar

welcome welcome~ glad to share~

Madness is a good item for Balanar i assure you.. Even in Day Balanar can kill with this along with power treads and Yasha.. Wowow

nice!!!i ll try ur strategy..

halla2 houwwe ma3nar walla balanar ? :P

No, i hate S&Y and satanic is better on NS. Easy GodLike with thead, satanic, buriza, AC, butterfly, and basher.

Honestly, this guide rawks just the way it is...but...honestly..you don't really need attack items to finish off the game... for instance... in a 5 v 5 match, I got beyond godlike with 2 bracers, power treads, vanguard, ogre axe and broadsword... it's just the night + void that counts... but... haha.. I finally fixed that...playing a different style ns... for once XD

10/10

oh btw... just to mention...MoM stacks with SnY... in a way... for instance.. mom gives u lifesteal every attack.. but when sny triggers.. the lifesteal doesn't.. so no harm in getting both... the same with satanic.. XD... MoM + Night = omg =.= haha

Last thing... I fancy crippling fear cause of it's 8 second silence on an enemy... especially spell casters like lina,lion,pugna etc etc... very useful aswell.. since this "silence" doesn't only silent .... *shhhh*

i hope this strategy working to kill barathum..
cause barathum can catch people easily with his stun and the pushing stun...
i hate that...

Cool guide

Lets see 2morrow i use balanar with ur guide i hope u dont disspoointed me lol i think i can beat my friend

hey guys can some 1 tell me if i should get the bfly or th SandY?


TY

good strategy but shudnt u buy mask of madness instaead of sny?

lovely guide

As I mentioned many times, SandY is for NS to max out his running speed at night with power trends. By the way, the new power trends, you can use it for adding 10 more Agi (10% attack speed) or if you feel you are abit weak, 10 str for more hp. Int is not recommended since you go back home every 2-3 kills anyways.

you should try this it works good boots 2 bracers then sacred relic then travel then
rapier santanic buriza and mkb

is twin bashers good for balanar?

i prefr s&y rather dn MoM becoz of hp. and mom only gives u 522 ms in only 10 secs while s&y gives u dat evry night. good strat.... just mke it better. and two orb efects doesnt stock bro.... don't add satanic.... S&Y + PT + MKB + Buriza = Godlike for him....

lol, just randomed balanar and I was beyond godlike 12-0. An enemy had templar assassin but he fed me too much to be able to face me. Balanar is imba. I followed the build in this strategy, so I guess it's 10/10.

your guide is great... i build balanr like this but it depends upon the situation.. if i face PA, i usually go for:

PT
SATANIC
BURIZA
BF
AC
BF

i add bf to balanr simply because of his insane attack speed! you could easily kill a wave creeps in a few seconds... about PA, she's hard to kill once she reaches higher levels due to her evasion ability and with her coup de grace...

its

your guide is great... i build balanr like this but it depends upon the situation.. if i face PA, i usually go for:

PT
SATANIC
BURIZA
Butter Fly
AC
Battle Fury

i add bf to balanr simply because of his insane attack speed! you could easily kill a wave creeps in a few seconds... about PA, she's hard to kill once she reaches higher levels due to her evasion ability and with her coup de grace...

Almost every meele hero i use especially late gamers i always put battle fury and a life steal... Bfury for mana and hp regen and a very effective item to farm well.. when u have this item it is easy for you to buy your next item..but i dont say your bild is not good. i just have my own.

OMG I just can't stay of this guide man but seriously...those posting i get
blah
blah
blahblah
blahblahblah and blah blah blah and get doglike bla bla bla... stop wasting space >.< SnY is a must to play a balanar...unless you go for defensive type..521 MS at night and the maim is priceless $_$ Getting satanic along with buriza is a guarantee stay in field...Satanic and Sny stacks = =....

nicee.

MAN THANK YOU! I FOLLOW YOUR GUIDE AND I GET BEYOONND GODLIKE!!!!!!! MY FIRST BEYOND GODLIKE!

PLSSS

NICE GUIDE I LIKE BALANAR

hm im a noob with this hero ima try ur guide sounds awesome

I'm thinking. What about Cranium Bashers? Stun + Atk Speed = Pwn. Ima try that. Good guide. Keep up the good work.

I tried your build order and ownt from beginning...24:1fountain death after a dbl kill only thing to say that darkness isnt only good for escaping during day. there are many situations where you can fetch 1-5 quick kills on daytime^^ using your darkness. but only use it in case of emergency or when you are shure of the kill. thats all to say. good strat!!!

@tauir

try butterfly against baratrum and always use your crippling fear first. face him with an allied disabler. balanar can own him in 1on1 on night with fear and maybe two basher and a mom.
always best strat agains bara: dont feed him, fokus him, prevent your allies from feeding him, always be alert of the minimap and your status icons because of his charge.

hehhee~.. fantastic guide for the newbies and for the advance gamerz~.. well, actually "balanar" is my MVP and really amazed with the strategies that u come upon~.. i used that kind of item whenever i used balanar and guess what~.. i come up with straight wins over my pal, that has been playing Dota much longer than i am~.. well, thankx again for the useful guide~..!! Balanar for me is the most powerful character if used correctly and can bring a heck lots of problems if facing one on one with other opponents~.. tatz wat i think, heehheee

haha thx war man..
i think i got solution to kill that BATHROOM!!!
hehehehe

dude mice strat but 522 ms is not even needed you only really need 450 ms and u can still own my build is:
1) Treads
2)buriza
3)satanic
4)Heart

regardless of aggressive or defensive and since i choose satanic the best ally in the game would be Leoric and not the best of ideas to solo
some stay away list on your list should be taken of as rigwarl is a tanker, rhasta a disabler and rigwarl is easily tken care of :night+ hunter+void+void= GG

this damn hero is damn strong and with a build like that ........
you'll own......all day all night!!!!!

9/10!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice build. Although sometimes i use bashers cause of his insane atk speed but this build also works.

very nice guide! although I would usually go for Helm Of The Dominator/Mask Of Madness early game then BKB later.

how about batle fury guys???

Guys, the point of this guide is that SandY and Trend (str) would make NS run at max speed; that's the point. w/e items after is really up to you depending on the dynamic situation in the game.

gr8 item build dude
but i used 2 think i should make vladmrs
with bala
i guess i was wrong

I think you need to use cranium basher and NOT burizza.....and I think you need more practice WEAK!!!

Hey dude use CRANIUM BASHER!!!

very nice item build!!!Good for harassing agi and int heroes!!!

im new here hope i get well here!!!

mabuhay ang kamatayan!!!!

perfect guide for a pro NS.but i usually buy a perseverance for going on a hunt at night to spamm void

are u guyz stupid!!!!! what a fukking guide!! you dont konw how to use the potential of this hero, balanar needs aghanims so he can spam his darkness

Nice Joke Nickozy;

nicely done 10/10

nice itewm.but i prefer use battlefury.hehehe

how come you didn't include basher?

excellent guide. though i personally feel there's no need in the mkb. Void stone and boots of travel for me. he's practically invincible with them. very good that you stated that darkness is best used at night. Thought nobody else knew that darkness actually reseted the timer.

To nickozy: are ya silly? why would you need to spam darkness for?? you just need to use darkness when night time is going away. by the time dawn comes, you just use darkness again. simple.

Strategy itself is decent, although Balamar works well with a near perma-bash build.
eg.
Power Treads (TREADS not bloody threads)
Sange and Yasha
Cranium Basher
Cranium Basher
Satanic (who needs maim from SnY with
521ms at night and void to slow?)
Heart of Tarrasque

Game will probably finish sometime as
you build Satanic, but if you dominate
enough go heart for tank purposes.

Anyway, great guide 9/10 :D

this is gangsta help

nice... finally a biuld wihtout bashers!!!

FUCK U OL@!!!!!

i just want to comment about using 2 items w/ orb effects. The effects of sange and yasha and satanic does not stack right? So why use satanic if you already built sange and yasha at the first place.

Your grammar suks la... LOL, and orb effects dont stack, there is no strategie how to use him, only when to buy items...
DUDE, YOUR STRATEGIE SUKS...

terrible guide to tell you the truth anyone could have made this...duh hunter in the night is the primary skill...hes the frigin nightstalker! anyways ur items are way too overpriced... this is how it should go
2x bracers
treads
sange and yasha
mask of madness (use this and u are granted lifesteal which acts in replace of satanic, 75% attack spped which stacks and 15% ms which is a LOT when u ms is already so high)
Heart( for xtra hp)
at this point game will be most likely over

I rather use satanic than SnY because Crit + Lifesteal = Killing Machine

ur thing sux...

nice strats..but...why not get 2 bashers?

I ALWAYS ADD BASH TO MY BUILD. YOU WONT NEED TO CAST SILENCE CAUSE YOUR OPPONENT IS JUST SITTING THERE GETTING OWNED!
ROFL

sweet guide dude
helped me heaps starting out in dota

my build is SnY,Vladimirrs Offering,Battlefury and burizza

hey guys, people have their own playing style, and not using cranium basher is one. One with very high damage and faster atk speed, however, no stun, but stun is not really needed for NS, at least, depends on the situation. but most of the times, NS can take care of enemies WITH or WITHOUT basher. so chill about getting basher, its people's own preference. Overall, very good guide

playing with nightstalker includes a lot of chasing of the enemy since this happens in the night you have more than enough MS sure maim is nice but doesn't give you any advantagewhen you maim a hero and there are allies near him. lifesteal and bash on the other hand give you incredible tanking abillity (75% as during night an 15 % lifesteal like permanent MOM without extra dmg) and 1 bash for the nightstalker usually means a kill. won't you agree?

You shoul've made something for mana problem. ie. ROB or could get bf to farm in day

If possible i'd go for skadi instead of S&Y. Not a fan of it here

anyone ever considered getting mom and den double basher +hyperstone for ns? the mom gives you max speed for awhile to get your enemy and den u can try to perma after that

Nice guide,
i like my item build:
1.Power Treads
2.Cranium Basher
3.Cranium Basher
4.Cranium Basher
5.Hyperstone/assult curiass
6.Mask of Madness
U dont get loads of damage but u get a permastunn and while the opponent is stunned u get the hp u miss by the MoM

nice guide very nice but i think the tarrasque is not for balanar, my build to balanar is treads, satanic, MKB, SnY, buriza

Awsome guide with many helpful hints and tips. I recommned this guide for anyone ranging from noob-advanced player. Great guide and keep up the good updates! 10/10

heheh i like this hero but my item build is 2 cranium basher, boots of travel or power treads, satanic, sange and yasha ,and butterfly

I don't see why on earth you need bashers for Balanar. He already has excellent chasing speed plus crippling fear and void. 2 slows. Why on earth would you need a basher? or even 2? I personally prefer getting EoS instead of S&Y. I'll swap the threads for BoT later on and get a hyperstone. S&Y sucks. That's a fact.

nice guide but why mkb? deso is nice for ns and i tried it. 5 hit KO per hero when i was lv16 and i only hav treds, sny, 2 bracers and deso.

......... i learned from your advice and i will use it to vanquish the weak!!!!!

good strategy but plenty of wrong spelling

these were ok....

these were ok....

wohoooooooooooooooo

nice guide
bloodseeker could pwn this guy anyday though

w0w nice strat. I'll try that!

nice strategy. it really works

your strategy is gooD! balanar is my favorite! this build is also good and easy to achievE!
1)2 bracers
2)treds
3)mask of death to satanic
4)Black king bar
5)crysalis to buriza
6)butterfly
im beyond godlike in this build!
farm well in the morning and always hunt at night!!

Good strat, but your math sucks.
(295 (base) + 65 (treads)) * 1.10 (S&Y) * 1.35 (night) = 534.6
Max speed: 522

.. Where the hell did you get 521 from?

which heroes does balanar shud watch out?

I think you must have at least one item for lifesteal but stack with sange n yasha and it's vladmir ..I think bala mana regen is worst so vladmir help with it basilius before and ring of regen,..what do ya think????

TerrorBlade can pawn this hero anytime. No one can beat terrorblade on 1v1! Terrorblade DA BEST!!!!!!!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Terrorblade and Balanar both look cool!!!!! Both have wings!!

I think...I have a more deadly build...
