The Underated Slithereen

Nice Guide.
Great Strategy .
Shall give you a 5 for the Pictures too.

Hyperstone could be of use for Slardar as well. That is, if oyu make it into Assault Cuirass. -5 more armor from it's effects amplify Amplify Damage. :D

I THINK IT IS USEFUL TO HAVE ONE HYPERSTONE AND TWO BASHERS...

actually my slardar build is different but urs is ok too...^^
try:
heart of tarasque
boots of travel
Battle Fury
MKB
mask of Madness
Radiance

this build easily farms gold and if u get the amp[lify + slithereen crush combo use madness and bring on the whacking!!!

Ewhh... You know Aplify Damage is cost 25 mana.

Try Substituting -- Vlads With Cuirass
Treads w/ Boots of Travel
Heart w/ Radiance
They're all good

I give you a 2 for those screenshots. Your build is horrible. S&Y is useless, since you have 510 ms with treads + sprint. Bashers are horrible, since they the bash damages aren't incrased by amplify damage, and finally, your whole build doesn't solve your problems of HP when sprint is activated.

An ok guide. Kinda funny because there was already a previous guide on Slardar a few guides back. Any kinda screenies make the guide better and im glad you put in some. This gets an 8/10

dude, you cant rely solely on screenshots. sure, they are fancy addition to a guide and can be very useful to make some points here or there, but i think text should be the core of any guide. plus some of your screenies don't contribute in any way to strategy: "Here is a pic of Terrorblade getting MY kill" or "I went back and Pawned his ASS!!!!" - so what? i dont agree with your item build too. no point in getting two bashers for hero with natural bash-skill, as it stacks diminishingly. hyperstone gives better chance to stun and in the end higher damage (because of IAS).

I don't agree with your item build... Only things I agree with are Treads and Bracer. RoB and S&Y are not good items for Slardar. I think MKB is pretty much a must. You turn up your sprint, and start chase some nuker/disabler guy and you might end up dead without MKB. And about desolator... the justification of not taking it is not good imo. Minus armor stuff are at their best potential when the enemy armor is minus 3, and you might not reach this without something that lowers the armor of the enemy even further.

nice guide. U shuould write more stategies

try the new item the assault,iforgot the frst name ov it,it has attack speed,armor and negative armor to enemies so more negative armor.. easy kill...

Not impressed with this guide. First, the build: I don't think your survivability is very high without strength, there is insufficient iasp, and i don't understand why you chose RoB or Vlad's cloak. If it's armor you're looking for, chainmail would do just fine. As to the guide itself, your screenies do nothing to contribute to the guide, and skill usage tips are sorely lacking. 2/10.

great strat
please create a srtat for phantom lancer
I really want to master lancer tnx

NICE STRAT but i ussually get MKB and CBASHER because it cobines stun and damage and also speed then i go for the ASSUALT CUIRASS ... but anyway NICE STRAT !!!

Sorry, I meant BKB in the post. Not MKB.

I didnt like the screenshots at all as it just seems to be some random pics.

I also disagree that you shouldnt use amplifying damage on low-armor heroes, like int heroes and tiny. If tiny would have five armor, including his base armor, and you cast amplifying damage lvl3, his damage reduction would be at minus. That means, that tiny will take more damage than you actually make. Sure kill!

You didnt say that you could use it on roshan either, which you can. Just remember to cast another spell first as he will block the first targeted spell.

S/Y would be an overkill. hi's MS is 510 with just threads. BTW, in the later version of DOTA (6.43b), vladimirs and assault curiass doesen't stack.

@silverturk I did put that you should use amplify damage on low armored heores. There is a DO on top of it. Also if you think that SnY is an overkill then replace it with Stygian deso. That is why I put in the Main item build. Also sorry guys if the screenies suck. It was my first time to put them so I was not yet sure on what pics I should get I will improve on it in the future.

Man you I rofl.You say to farm a lot and you have just 30 creeps on level 12.Embarasing.so dont give lessons to the others when you cant farm for yourself

nice guide

SnY and deso dun stack

there is something i wanna mak sure of something .... if u were suppose to chase after someone with sprint and u tak 20% dmg. Wouldnt dat b bad if u were gank by a bunch of nuker lik Crystal Maiden. i see equally pros and cons in using dis Hero...

Those people thinking it's a great guide seriously need to start to use their brain.

Well, the pics didn't say much, but at least it shows that the maker of this guide is pretty decent with the character he is making a guide OF. And i think you are wrong on the "don't get another lifesteal item with satanic, it won't stack" well, how about vladmir's offering? i think you are thinking of orb effects and how they override each other. Vladmir's offering isn't a orb effect so it should stack.

This is not a very good guide, you can't see the screenshots at all...And the item build is horrible. Also in the screenshots you got 2 bashers? And you out them in your "Items you don't need"?

Go figure.

wtf?? wats the use of the screenshots?? just wasting ur time adding junk...and also a lack of strength so u cant tank well...2/10 not a good build

too many screenshots...
too slow loafing.......
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!

too many screenshots...
too slow loading.......
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!

what's the screenshot for dude??
you said dont get cranium.. what items did you buy?? you said to farm well.. how many creeps did you killed?? no deny?? not even one??i think you dont need S&Y just buy desolator and exchange bracer to butterfly.. i dont get vladimirs on this hero exchange it to tarrasque..well.. 4/10..

number one, he said please ignore the items in the pics, and only concentrate on the main item list. and there is the possiblity that he was TESTING items out for the guide. but none the less. i felt like the screen shots didn't say to much. and the text wasn't so informidable either. an ok guide.

Next time you take screenshots for your guide, turn off your maphack.

actually ive played him but only once in a arem but i really like to do 2 cranium bashers a mom and a blink dagger. i blink use slithern crush and mom then let the stun begin. i did very very good.

@Mantra - hey noob, ever heard of a replay? How bout you learn basic facts before you accuse other people of maphacking.

pede na din

hey when u have 2 cranium bashers, does it mean 30% chance to bash or 15/85 chance?

hey when u have 2 cranium bashers, does it mean 30% chance to bash or 15/85 chance?

For all those who're complaining that he doesn't have enough health, please note there is a heart in the item build so stop whining.

@ faceless_void - nice guide. I think you did overdo it on the screenies though. I think maybe just one screenshot showing how AD lets you see invis heroes would be enough, each screenshot should demonstrate or explain something. Also, I don't see how Furion and Gondar make it into your best friends list, gondar especially. Oh and you might want to remove aegis from your optional items.

I know you said "Ignore the item build in the screenies" but just out of curiosity, if you readily admit that there is a flaw in the pic, why did you post it???? I mean if it was like 1 item wrong, its ok but you put the screenies build as "items that are useless"!!!! And also, since you did post utterly useless screenies and plan on doing so in the future, press the ALT key so we get a better idea of whats happening and turn off maphack!!!

Also I cant see whats happening in the screenies and it takes WAAAY too long to load... Post a few from 1 battle scene and to show any confusing tactics... If you say escape with sprint, thats enough... Dont show pics of you running from a noob weaver... Text make a strat, screenies are simply decor...

Also your build... Above posts say it all...

And you somehow project the idea that having a bash REDUCES ability to perma-bash! I agree that bashers are sometimes wrong but slardar is still a good basher... You're projecting bullshit into the minds of readers...

How can you say FARM HARD and have only 30 creep kills in your screenies??? Strat pics shouldnt have -cson if you arent good at farming... Learn the art of successful bullshitting, its useful...

2/10 for effort!

SWEET GUIDE DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7/10 havent tried it yet o.O

@ The Lawyer™ - Look carefully at the screenshots. You will see that in the top left the 'Map Info' button is grayed out. Now engage your thought processes and ask, "Is it that way in a normal game?".

Now look in the bottom right corner. Upon careful observation you will immediately recognize that ZOMGWTF SLARDAR HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REMADE!!! Instead of Sprint, Crush and Bash he has PAUSE, INCREASE SPEED and DECREASE SPEED, WOW that's SOO IMBA!!! Slardar can also turn the Fog of War ON and OFF.

Now in case you STILL don't get it, I'll state it clearly. Firstly, the screenies are from a replay and secondly, I love taking the piss out of noobs who accuse people of maphacking.

(Yes, by noobs I'm refering to you)

usually i rush deso then curicass then bashers ...anywyas i give 7/10 ..so-so guild

usually i rush deso then curicass then bashers ...anywyas i give 7/10 ..so-so guild

This Hero is underated? You've gotta be kidding...

To all those who think that I maphacked, look I took them in a replay so the map is really on!!!! Compare it to the other strats with pics!!! Their maps can see the whole place!!!! Don't call me a maphacker damn!!!
@The Lawyer - successful bullshitting??? WTF are you talking about??? The only Bullshit I know is you knowing the difference between a replay and a real game.
@kAEm - thnx mahn for clearing things up appreciate it.

@kAEm

Gondar and Slardar....

Slardar and Gondar have chase skill.
Slardar and Gondar ulti provies armor reduce.
Slardar has decent damage but stuns longer, with gondar, mini stun but lots of damage. Goes together pretty good considering you have two things that can stop channeling. or disable.

For Furion....
He does have trees...i guess makes easier for slardar to catch up to him, but then again, if the range is enough for Furion to cast, then Slardar can catch up to him pretty easy. Don't forget that its 5.25, so if you non blinker/WW-er, then you can take on two heroes.

Also good combo. First, Sprout to get into position, Slardar STUNS, then AMPLIFIES, furion then converts nearby trees into creeps, creeps hitting hero with minus 15 armor OUCH!

Um....taking a look at the best allies part...

You said all have abilities to STUN for long time...Roof trellen has stun? Furion? etc? i think you meant "hold in place" or somethin like that . mebbe you could elaborate a little bit on the other heroes cuz like KaEm i had troulbe figuring out how some of the heroes could go pretty well with Slardar. Example, Dark terror. If you are thinking Chronosphere....Chronosphere not only freezes everybody in AoE, but it freezes people who go INTO AoE after it has been casted, so Dark Terror=NON TEAM PLAYER .

Mad strat bro my mate at work just told me about how awesome this hero is so i just used him ....... i had a simmalar build to what u had and it rocks i would only change your bruiza to a MKB but yeah you hit the dot for this strat ........!!!!! P.S u are so right about checking ya surroundings when vsing heroes u can still easily get pawned by alot of heavy spellcasters such as zeus and slayer but that can be reduced as well by a hood of the curious if u need the damage reduction...... and the hp regen helps too......

For those flamers, look, getting a guide up isn't easy, even if you have a very strong point to put across, at least do it nicely!

I've noticed lots of effort put into this guide however a few things i would like to point out :

1) Slardar's Role in the team. I think u neglected this part, his role is primarily to dive into battle, stun the living waters out of everyone, gets focused to death - pray hard ur team kills everyone else b4 u get killed

2) Blink/Crush - Something that you need to include (screenies if u wan - remove some of those less important ones) and its vital to anyone good slardar

3)Necrominion is a ok item for slardar (not bad) just - fine - average - item . Reveals more invis units and ups ur MS a considerable amount . Mana burn always owns and lvl 3 necrominion is another mini hero by ur side. Also minor synergy with ur stun (Requires quick fingers) and nothing escapes your wrath - altho i repeat again, its better to leave it to ur support/int heroes to get them (could use the + int more)

4) OVer emphasis on amplify damage - its a simple skill to isolate out the hero that you & your team wan dead in the time you unleast your stun . Its not a skill that allows you to one-click kill everythhing so just keep it simple (remove the screenies and just show how it reveals a lvl 16 sa or someone under ww - go to replay , fix sight on urself , that pt where amplify damage reveals the hero, click on that particular hero and show the "WW" icon below - Suffice)

Overall great effort for this guide!

7/10

Tip, Update a bit. Getting to a point with less screenshots is preferred. Frequent mention of "I can see invis thanks to amplify damage" can be done with 1-2 screencaps.

To everyone, please remember to know what you are talking about before you post it. Wrong choice of words can earn you minuses in credibility, or respect, so to speak.

Cool stategy

Its a definition error... Im simply not used to these terms... I simply meant turn your fog of war off, that will show that AD gives you sight of your enemy...

I would have replied earlier but last time I heard, you had to make a reservation 6 months in advance with your ISP to simply view the strat!

And why do you pick the most irrelavant topic to make your defence? Oh wait! My mistake, I should have seen it coming aftr seeing the topics of your screenies!

And you cant hope to keep this defence up much longer... Too many complaints... What are you going to do next? Change the heading from "Underated slithereen" to :underated slithereen strat"?

And I guess the items in the screenies are different cause someone else played and you just took the pics? I mean the results and success cant be counted on when the build is different... There is NO proof that the given build works from your screenies...

(Just in case anyone thinks otherwise, this is a reply, I am not flaming)

Anyway, I wont be checking for any more of your replies cause I have more exciting stuff to do like homework and sleeping..

nice one!
i love Slardar a lot!
he's one of the 'gods' at high level

Screw you Lawyer

1 on 1 lina vs sladar who's gonna win? lina have a refresher orb and guinsoo and sladar have cuircass and buriza

sorry dude but i did not agree with ur item build..but anyway nice strat

what's wrong with u guys ?
i think he's writing a great strat.. if you don't like his strat or doesn't match your criteria u shouldn't flaming on him..

my slardar build :
two bracer
power threads
hyperstone
hood of defiance to counter heavy nukers, or go straight to tarrasque


nicely done void !

STRATEGY RANK:MONSTER KILL! Interesting idea to get asault cuirass for this hero....7/10

do you think desolator, pow treads, 2 tarrasque, assault curiass, and buriza is better? (vladmirs wont stack wit desolator, it mite not work...)

Ya that item build would do fine. You could also change one HoT with BKB so that you got avatar.

tsk... tsk... tsk... what a poor strategy... deso and SnY cant combine... desolator wont work if you have yasha... i give you 3points

5 for strat. 5 for pix

Any hero can be a best friend and worst enemy. It is not necessary, as you have not considered the player who may,or try not to team play with the certain hero in your "best friend list". I just feel that the "these heroes are good with your hero" and "these are your worst enemies" is included too much in guides.

@adamns I put there, "If you don't like...then get deso." I said to choose either one.

I like the guide but the pictures arent very useful, its just another b4 and after, b4 they were redzoned after they were dead, b4 they were full health after they r permastunned. its all very good but try to get better pictures, and if that means pwning with slardar for a week straight then do it! i will give u 9 10

my strat..
vanguard
treads
sange
b.fury b4 lvl 16
then depends on whether u need to help tank or help kill

Nice Guide and Strategy
i give 9/10
just don't combine sange and yasha en desolator they have orb effect

Nice Guide en Strategy
i give you 9/10
jusy remove vladimris and make it battle fury

you didnt recomend a basher, thats weird...

I think your build is good but i have my own build..

Power Treads
Desolator
Assault Cuirass
Vanguard(Mid Game)
then Heart of Tarasque
Aegis of Immortal(6.41 below version)
Divine Rapier

OR change Aegis & Divine
to Buriza and MKB or Double MKB...

well....i like sladar....but i like his sprint more than his crush...its useless if you just stun and let enemies run with the last hits.. lvl 10 master sprint ?too late for me..

there sure are a lot of morons here who don't know how to read, the screenshots show you how to use your skills, don't mind the items in the pics, screw you lawyer

As I told in my former comments,if your hero has some skill and there exists and item that amplifies(or related to) that skill,build it!if the related skill is your ulti(level 4 skill I mean),you have to build it!!!slardar is a good example for this thesis:his ulti is directly related to "styglian desolator".do not hesitate building it.Also do not built bashers or SnY since you have slithering crush and sprint.Also you must build assault cuirass since it has a -5 armor aura.In my opinion best equipment for slardar is:

-Power Treads
-Vangard
-Styglian Desolator
-Assault Cuirass
-Vangard / Hood of Defiance (depending on your enemy's line up,if there are int heroes use Hood,otherwise second vangrard will be sufficient)
-Scroll of Townportal

bashers plus assualt = lots of bash, i always get 2 bashers and hyper 1st with him...it gives like 55% bash chance

nice ..

but..MoM in early game is very useful for this guy..
i prefer SPRINT before you take slitherin crush lev 3..

lev 2 slitheriin crush is enaough..

sprint maybe better..

nice bro...

i dont think that slardar can be a life stealer. that was such a waste of money.

@asmodean
why not get bashers? their a great item. and as u said it amplifies/relates to one of your skills.

i think sange & yasha will not stack with reduction of armor by stygian. I have try play with bloodseeker and it doesn't reduct armor when you have s & y
I think its a bug or maybe its true

bashers are great with slardar...all he needs is 2 bashers, travels, hyper, and maybe a deso

Great Strat. Just owned 12-0 1v1

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPAM MY CRUSH?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPAM MY CRUSH?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPAM MY CRUSH?

my items when i play on slardar : threads,MoM,basher,basher,desolator,cuirass ...why u say that bashers aren`t good on this hero ?with my item build u are a perma basher and u can own every hero (exceptions:darkterror,troll)

lol, in ur replays, how come you have cranium bashers??

slardar isnt meant to be a permabasher...

sandman, hes not a good permabasher because he doesnt have fast aspd unless you boost it...but thats just a waste of gold...


much better to get dmg like deso, buriza

I like this guide. I just made a Levi guide, and highlighted synergy with Slar. I woulda mentioned synergy with *this* Slar, but I didn't see your strat until after my guide was done.

I think people going with bash on slar need to realize that his *natural* bash is as good as two bashers on any other hero. So, once you get treads and Assault (like this guide says), you essentially get a permabash.

Just remember, you have the FAST!

@Respect, I think that's why he mentioned that Slar isn't very good in a team capacity. He's a tank, but can't take a lot of damage. Instead, he has hunting/chasing skills and a lot of bash/stun (??). Furthermore, he has armor reduction?? He's built much more like a hunter/AGI hero. Levi or Leoric are simply much better at soaking up the damage. Unlike those heroes, it's quite possible to lose with a good Slar on your team, because he has little to do with the actual teamwork. Of course, monster hunters have a way of really putting the hurt on, so in the end he can do what BS can do so well if he owns.

Great guide, 8.5/10, because the screenies actually detract from the guide. They do look very nice, but they seem to be the highlight of the guide, instead of the actual guide. And, everyone else is going nuts over them too, in a not-so-good way.

Oops, sorry for double post, but I just thought of something else - Slar should probably be played like N'aix or Mortred - they don't engage like tanks, but are much more suited to engaging RIGHT AFTER a battle has begun. Tanks like Levi, Axe or Leoric can soak up damage while the smaller heroes that pack a punch go in for the kill. In Slar's case, this works very well, because if there's even a chance your side may not win, he can come in, stun everyone, and AD/chase off the biggest threat. This would require your team to be able to hold its own for the couple of seconds it would take to say that a battle has "begun", but no more than that. Faceless is absolutely right - AD and armor reduction in general is hugely underrated, and Slar's -15 is some of the best in the game.

dude great guide except i can't clearly see the screenies so much...hehehe can ya enlarge it a bit?

any wayz great guide 9/10

man... you said to deny like hell.. But in your pic yo denied none...

So much flaming! You don't deserve this much flaming. Good guide, although a little bit messy :P Here's a good example on good use of screenies (although some of them are only to brag):
http://www.dotastrategy.com/strategy-1931-SUPERTECHIES.html

Notice the fancy explanations on the screenies and their cropping.

Btw I love your faceless void strat too =)

your item build is same as me

vlad offering can stack. it is not an orb effect =]

good good very good

ur already at max speed with sprint sny wont make u any faster
also getting an extra hyperstone or two after getting assult instead of bashers is a better choice

if i will use him, i will make these items:
1 Basher
2 Basher
3 Buriza
4 Heart of Tarrasque
5 Boots of Travel
6 Sange and Yasha
7 Satanic
8 Assault Cuirass

Nobody would kill you!!!

maim and corruption wont stack
it depends of place which effect u´ll get

@timelocker
maim and lifesteal wont stack
if u have lifesteal u get no maim

LOL maphack

Nicely done.Great guide.
You covered up most of all topics related to
Slithereen guard.
Great job.Nice one faceless_void

hmmm...you say dont get bashers but in your screenshots you clearly have 2 bashers in your invent...wtf?

i like it alot... makes sense him not being a perma-stunner.. great guide, 9/10

loved the guide got a 10-2 died in early games and rite after getting beyond. a 5-1 ้how un fair is that? all permabashers too.

does basher stack with bash ability??? plz answer me

can u get minus armour??

i tried the build. it works perfectly for me. Another way to use this hero. nice!!

This strat worked beautifully.
Perma bashed like fucked.

10/5.

GReat Strategi........

Hmmm....I'm new to DotA so I cant play so many heroes properly....However Slardar was my 1st and favorite hero .I don't really agree with the way you play with him.However it's your oppinion.I just wanted to post the way I play with slardar(iteam build).I think its the ''traditional'' 1 In the start I take a RoR and treads.After that in the mid game I make 2 bashers and finally a stygian...If I have any more money I buy a monkey king bar (which most of the people dont like). I rly like bashin and bashin plz tell me your oppinion about all this without bein too hard.As I told u I'm new in DotA
P.S:no I don't wanna write my own strat guide as most of u say in these cases lol.

How would that Deso orb intermingle with the miam of Sange

1. Sange and Yasha
2. Twin bashers
3. Burizah
4. Boots of Travel or Power Threads
5. Vladimir/HoT
-------------------->>>>GODLIKE!!!

i was jus wonderin y in ur pics it shows u with bashers and in ur items not to get it said u shouldnt get bashers? so i was jus wonderin about that :D

thanks just what i needed

My Slardar gets:

Battlefury
Mkb
SangeYasha
PowerTreads
HoT
Burizado

I let Bash skill take care of the rest

i have a question?
if you cast amplify damage on a illusion hero(like phantom warrior)then he use an illusion spell will the amplify damage will be gone?
-please reply asap-

sorry am wrong its phantom lancer not phantom warrior sorry

Illusion spell meaning doppelwalk.

As I said when he becomes invis. you can still see him. As long as you activated Amplify Damage

m agree with 'guide maker',,this hero is a "DEviL",,with"LOW MANA COSTS AND LOW COOLING DOWNS",but 'he' os so rarely goes to the battle field.Is S&Y And stygian stacks?Ouch m no sure.but if it stacks than u give slardar a cuirass,,,,,,,, i think..."UnBeaTAblE".slardar can kills other hero be4 it killshim.Nice guida man

no bashers?
i tried 2 n i worked quite well i guess..

any1 can tell me why not?

MoM isnt optional item,it is a must for slardar and other permastuners,and also in the items not needed u included:cranium basher but on some of your pics in your items were 2 of them,for a perfect permabusher 2 craniums are needed

u said not to get bashers, but u have them in ur screen shots...

u said not to get bashers, but u have them in ur screen shots...

Guys, plz stop, just listen to what he says, instead of his pics.

what! 2 orb effects, try using batlefury over deso, s&Y? nah try satanic replace vlad

I think S & Y and RoB r nth.. U shouldn't gt'em. U also dint mention abt if u r gang banged with sprint on.... ( U r traped in btwen the opponent heroes)

hi there !!!!!!! actually i've been playing him most of the times........i've been wondering if my builds sucks........my build is........bracers for early game n also treads.......last hit n deny then get BF(easy farm,mana regen,hp regen).......then i'd get a HoT.......next hyperstone(assault curass if i farm well)........then the rest slot i go for MKB.........n y SnY ?? this guy already has 510 ms with treads n lv 4 sprint ? tell me. n about my builds, do they suck ? comment pls !!!!!

u get vlad then treads then basher then deso then basher then assualt cuirass

panget namn ng guide mo!!!!!

I agree with all the things except S&Y cause with sprint you have the max speed. And yasha dont add speed on max sprint. So a desolator is a must for slardar with +60dmg and -6 armor.

Arcane ring

Hyperstone

Power Treads

Stygian Desolator

Battle Fury

BKB or MKB

I think it is better to use STYGIAN DESTROYER except for VLADMIR"S OFFERRING.....but i give 7/10 score..

Wow deso + cuirass + ulti rules!!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmp,. pangit.. i like to build desolator and assault than your build up item...........!!!! bolok mas haud pa si sheen...

i would take sprint earlier

he is Good Damn

i'll vote for deso... in the mid game or earlier as well

I'm pretty sure satanic can be used with Vlad.

You forgot To add Barathrum to good friends list, He's Everybodies best friend and most people's worst enemy!

Your screenies don't help very much... But you did put in quite alot of decent effort into this guide. The only thing I disagree with you in is your item build. Slardar IS A PERMABASHER. Without that ability, he's just an empty shell. Imagine faceless without his bash. And try MKB too for slardar. 9/10 for your guide

niec guide but item build i giv 3/10. why you need SnY for? you already hav sprint and bash skill. why not deso, bf, heart and buriza?

wtf??? lifesteal items dont stack??? wen i use this hero i get
hyperstone if i can upgrade to assualt cuirass cuz it makes u faster and give negative armor to opp
battle fury for mana regen
HoT for damage and hp regen
vlad for regen of mana and hp and the life steal
satanic cuz it does stack with vlad and u get bonus damage and lifesteal
and boots of travel...i find this hero very easy to farm with so u can easily get these items

oh and also if ur gonna go for bashers just get six cuz its worthless if u already have a built in 1 that helps more....but i wanted to add 1 more if possible get a lothar its amazing wen u sneek up and crush and apm damage and hack away

aghanims would be better!!!!!

Yeah, very same with how i play with this hero... But, Cranium is ok if u dun' want to increase ur attack speed with expensive items like butterfly, but u wanted 2 bash ur enemies until they die... A linken is useless too... He don't need mana & hp regen... I prefer BKB

does 5 hood of defiance work?.... i tried it once on slardar.... kinda funny

very nice strategy. i never got kills with this hero before, now he rocks. he fall on my top 5 heroes

I think is one of the best of his kind!!!!

Thanks For The Guide...

this guide is awful. ill make one soon - and the screenshots will actually be me playing, not me taking pictuers of someone elses replay.

that was a nice guide! i love it!!! LOL

power tread
Sange&Yasha
vladmir
buriza
butterfly
assault
and if the game extend HoT

decent strat, sorry but i dont agree with ur item build, heres mine
1.hood (if needed)
2.powertreadz
3.heart
4.assault
5.satanic
6.ditch the hood and get divine rapier, your now unstoppable

nice guide tho, but in the conclusion (maybe its late game section) i do not recomend to ppl to actually get blink dag/skadi, those are a waste of money and blink dag can easily throw u off, otherwise nice strat, 8/10

great gude, even though I play Mortred and would kill Slardar, based on your guide. However nice guide I think my brother will use this. He plays Slardar so, >o< him.

this guy is cool

my build .

threads
fury
desolator
assault cuirass
hot
buriza

try it .

I agree with Wishmaster about the BKB. But then again that depends on who your enemies are.//also you should consider getting HoT a little earlier! Otherwise you will have a big problem with your HP and the +20% damage taken.--->try a little harder with the screenshots nex time ! 6/10

no basher

Great Strategy....
Nice pictures....
But i think there should be more text...
Don't you...???

ok this guide is good...but i cant believe u didnt include bashers 2 bashers will give u 55% to bash with his bash ability. And btw if u can cast your ultimate every 10 seconds u dont need a really expensive item like assault cuirass.

nc strategy
cool pics
nc ownings

10/10

Perfect build is:
Treads(Str)
Vlad's
Stygian Deso
Assault Cuirass
Heart of Tarrasque
Buriza

A basher is not useful for him
25% is enough
Because you can chase with 510 ms with lvl 4 sprint

very nice strat

this guy is insane midgame with a desolator, sprint > crush > amplify and watch eat hit take away 20 percent of their hp, hehe

I love slardar.

10/10 great item build!!!

bad ass

NICE STRAT
10/10
