Nasty Necro

nice guide i always play necro this way

btw, u put tangos instead of ironwood branch just wanted to point that out

Humbug, love the guide but i hate that damn Necro lol. His wave of death thingy is immense! Good guide

Bravo, Bryant Pham.
Thanks for making a strategy on an un-strategised hero, i have been dying to read a strat for necro great work. 10/10

An overall good guide, but i would really love a mekansm for this hero. So your a good supporter and a hero kill at the same time.

very cool guide
but where are the item build

Buying a Dagon too will make things much much easier.BTW a really great guide.

this guide is really good !!
but why u didnt put the item build as usual and the best alies/enemies?

uhhh, wth.... my item build should be there...

@ dark_phoen1x
i admit that getting dagon is good, but then the money used is better on meka or to work on aggy's. dagon makes you a killer, while the other items makes you an all around hero. Or maybes i just b/c im not a big dagon fan

I could have sworn the item build was there when I approved it. Can you remake it, Bryant?

this is the only hero that can battle lord of aversnus 1on1 i like this hero, guinsoo and refresher is perfect for this hero.

do u get dagon for him???? so dagon (-400 life lvl 1) then reapers for more damage

i think necro is the best int cuz when he has its ulti everyone fight him with half of their hp. it s a great high leveled enemy killer

hi

this is just my opinion guys... ive been playing dota for months now... this is my item build, after having the basic items ( boots, courier etc.) i go for dagon, dagon for ambushing lowlife or agi heros(effective for high hp heros too if u know wat ull gonna do). here's a combo, first dagon the low life hero,(if hes still alive) then go RS. The next items is up to you. but for me i go with guinsoo(for mana regen and disabling) or EoS for stat building and slowing heros and then aghanims. (Note that if u already have dagon u can be a killer in no time).

ok nice

where the hells ur item build??

what does deny mean?

Really good guide but i think Dagon would help too

Really good guide but i think Dagon would help too

dagon would not help too much for this hero as with the aghanims sceptre it would only add an extra 440 damage to ur ulti (840 total) which by the time you have these items isn't very much help. I have also worked out that at level 3 with aghanims sceptre his ulti can kill ANY hero below 53% health if they have no spell damage reduction abilities or items. Your focus should be on int, mana/mana regen, health/ health regen (to stack with death pulse), damage adn attack speed. I find that butterfly's evasion stacks well with diffusion aura and extra damage and attack speed is priceless, get guinsoo's as it's hex allows you to get a good number of hits in, doubly usefull if not used straight away if the enemy tries to be clever and run before u get him below 53%. also extra int and mana regen is good. this hero is one of the best because if you a soloing a lane you can easily get 6-7k gold by level eight and can already have aghanims before your ult is level two. mkb is also good with this hero for damage attack speed and it's 30% micro stun to stop channelling spells (there goes pugna). i personally think that death pulse should be changed so that damage is more like 70/120/170/220 but also heals the same amount (numbers need to be tweaked). Overall a decent guide to an excellent hero there are some good points but could be better. 6.5/10.

Have I ever said that I hate people who turn (badly) INT heroes into attack based heroes with 1200hp at HIGH lvl? And that they get pulverised, when they are ganking 3v1 and they are the 3? Honestly, butterfly on this? And did you say 6-7k gold before lvl8??? Thats with uber noobs in the lane, honestly. I saw someone get Aghanims as their FIRST ITEM though. But this was at lvl12. And he had NOTHING ELSE. No rings, no sobi, no boots, no consumables. So I find lvl8 hard to believe. MEH enough attacking this guy, good guide, I like it when people actually say how to make the killing easy. Which isn't as often as I'd like as it happens. On the other hand, its the only Necrolyte guide so far (me saying that is clearly asking to be proved wrong, happened in a day last time, time before that took 2 hours). Hmm. I think Dagon is good on him. I don't use him as much as I should though. Whatever. 10 for you.

not written in organize

great.. this is just what i need..

il try it thanks for makin a guide for him

good guide... this character is so strong you don't even have to think so hard on how to kill an enemy.
my items for this hero... boots of travel, mechanism, guinsoo, dagon, aegis, refresher orb

my build is a little expensive but works if u know 2 play.aganim,refresher,skadi,buriza,bot,hand of midas

Get a dagon

Hit your target(200+damage)(you will also take damage)+Use Death Pulse(damage em and you'll take life because you need life this time..your hero is damaged from counterattacks by the enemy)+Repeat process and DAGON(make sure enemy is halflife by repeating process) (and make sure its enough for RS to finsh his life after using dagon)+
Repear Scythe=KILL

Note: you need JUST SOME mana to do this.

(continu)
You''ll take damage after hitting him because he'll sure take revenge.

Mmm...i played this hero before;in 3 vs 3 battle,i buy dagon,scepter and a refresher Godlike!;between,in 4 vs 4 or 5 vs 5 battle,i agreed with your item build,Rotund`jere should go for all around item,a mechasm and sheep stick make him a
a deadly allie.anybody can give comments??

Nice Guide I agree with this but you should list down your item build so I won't have to skim through your wall of text to find out what you buy for him.

My Item Build

Boots of Travel
Dagon
Linken's Sphere
2 Bracers

nice guide but it you can still squeeze in a few more strat.

wheres the item build mon?

nice strategy there..pero sana mag post ka din ng pics/illustrations...

i love to use this hero against agi heroes. guinsoo+dagon5+reaper+death pulse^_^

i would seriously love to know how many people that post on these forums offering "better" strats in the comments are the same nubs that only join pub/EM games and end up leaving. @starkiller...... how F'ing long do your games go that you could possibly put those items on 1 hero??? ROFL. come to my lane in any mode, you would be lucky to have 1 of those tier 4 items by level 16. @wardy443 and in agreement with shimra, how much crack did you smoke before posting here??? 6-7k by level 8??? solo??? in a goddamn EM game??? show me a screen of that buddy i double dare you. if you got a decent lane matchup you would be lucky to have 2-2.5k tops. to the author of the guide, i tip my hat to you for a guide that supports your opinion on playing a hero, based on the build that you provided. a few words of advice for this hero though. blink dagger can be very useful on ro'tund, especially for keeping your death count at 0, which you stressed in the guide. also, i feel you didnt put any emphasis on this hero's harrasing capabilities early with his attk range.still overall a good guide.

^^^agreed. is it possible getting 7k by level 8? like ok each creep gives around 40, there are 4 creeps so.....160. every 30 seconds get 160 gold. now you divide 7,000 by 160 and you get approximately 43 creep waves. so...u would have to get almost every single creep kill for 43 creep waves straight. by level 8!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH

im sorry if this is really inaccurate data i "think" this is correct. however im not sure.

@transfat.....not only are you right about that, but, correct me of im wrong, in EM would it not be even less creep waves because you level that much faster?

lol @ maxximm. I have a question, why basi if your just gonna get the void stone for euls? I usually go branches and some jangos then rush the void stone. Straight to Euls so I can cyclone, let my teammates beat them up...and then I KS.

and stats > sadist.

try using necro with aganims, radiance, deso, cuirass and linken... --->ouch..!

You should add the items to the items tab, it'd make it a lot more complete.

Nice guide. Coudld stygian be worked into this combo, for sadist?

Hi, i quite like your guide as it is the only Necro guide, but Necro is personally one of my fav. characters. I think instead of rushing Aggys as it does not make much difference till level 11 and 16. I think it is better to go Guisoo then Refresher(cheaper than aggys) and then Aggys.. with refresher and aggys you can own them easy as anything. You just need to get them below 75% hp. Good guide. 7.5/10

would a lifestealing item work to cause his DP to heal for more than 130? or are those only for melee damage?

put some images!!!!!!!!!

put some images its very bored to read but if the readers are interested! wow this is a nice and better strategies! i voted you 6 which is good enough!.

this hero is way overpowered!!! If enemy hero is under half hp it instantly dies from reaper!!! However nyc guide!

Nice job. although I prefer to build necro as a killer. I prefer refresher and aghanim's early, since double repear scythe can kill just about anything,esp tanks. Nice guide nevertheless.

Wow, No item pictures? Might want to update this man :)

put item build so easily understand it is boring to see a strategy that is not well worked out

Words words words. Add some color.

Absolutely love this guy.

I start of getting shivas guard, its a great way to farm and push. Just use shiva when surrounded by creeps and then use death pulse. Works wonders

stupid strategies! look wad you write la. cock head

Make your item build more visual or people will think that there is no item build at all

there is no screen shots, no late game item builds, no tips on good allys or bad enemies so i find the guide very thin tbh
