Here's one of my Black Arachnia strats. This strategy guide can help you kill and be protected at the same time. And also some push strats.

	Black Arachnia - The Broodmother Range: 128 \| Move Speed: 313 Primary: AGI Str: 17 + 2.5 \| Agi: 18 + 2.2 \| Int: 18 + 2 Damage: 44 – 50 \| HP: 473 \| Mana: 234 HP Regen: 0.76 \| Mana Regen: 0.73 Attack Speed: 1.39 \| Armor: 4
	Spawn Spiderlings (W) The Broodmother injects her young into a target, creating immense pain. If the target is killed by the injection, spiderlings will be born. Level 1 - 75 damage, 1 spiderling. Level 2 - 150 damage, 2 spiderlings. Level 3 - 225 damage, 3 spiderlings. Level 4 - 300 damage, 4 spiderlings. Spiderlings have 350 HP, 18 - 19 Normal damage, 0 Heavy Armor, last 60 seconds. Spiderling skills: Poison sting - Deals 4 damage per second for 2 seconds and slows movement speed by 15% Spa[w]n Spiderite (autocast) - Plants a spiderite egg in enemies that lasts around 1 second. If the unit dies while infested, a spiderite is born. Spiderites have 175 HP, 9 - 10 Normal damage, 0 Heavy Armor, lasts 60 seconds. Mana Cost: 75/ 90/ 105/ 120 Cooldown: 10 Comment: Use this skill for creating pushing units, since these spiders doesn't have much damage, they aren't effective against 500+ ranged heroes or fast attack heroes and high HP heroes. This skill is also used to damage enemy units(300 damage!) and will also spawn a spiderling or more when the hero/unit is killed within 1.01 second after hitting SSling to a target.
	Spin Web (B) Spins a web which grants the Broodmother invisibility in an area, regeneration, truesight, as well as a passive speed increase. Regeneration improves per level. Level 1 - 2 allowed webs. Level 2 - 4 allowed webs. Level 3 - 6 allowed webs. Level 4 - 8 allowed webs. Mana Cost: 140 Cooldown: 90/ 75/ 60/ 45 Comment: Place the web in the creep meeting zones to stay in the web for protection and invisibility. Permanent web, but will be removed the first webs placed while the capacity is over the limit.
	Incapacitating Bite (P) Gives the Broodmother venoms which will greatly reduce the target's ability to function, and deals extra damage. Level 1 - Gives a 10% chance to miss, slows movement speed by 10%, and adds 2 damage. Level 2 - Gives a 15% chance to miss, slows movement speed by 20%, and adds 4 damage. Level 3 - Gives a 20% chance to miss, slows movement speed by 30%, and adds 6 damage. Level 4 - Gives a 25% chance to miss, slows movement speed by 40%, and adds 8 damage. Orb effect. Mana Cost: N/A Cooldown: N/A Comment: Great orb effect for slowing down enemies. Get this one after getting the Spawn Spiderling. Also get Butterfly/Radiance so that you won't get easily hit.
	Insatiable Hunger (T) The Broodmother develops a violent thirst for vital fluids. This lust greatly increases her attack damage and gives her a vampiric attack. Lasts 20 seconds. Level 1 - 60 bonus damage, 40% life steal. Level 2 - 75 bonus damage, 60% life steal. Level 3 - 90 bonus damage, 80% life steal. Mana Cost: 100 Cooldown: 60 / 45 / 30 Comment: Great buff ultimate. Increases damage and gains high % lifesteal. Use this when going for the kill, or when trying to regain HP.

Yowza!

3 By Thinker 2006-08-10

nice strag. make more plz

4 By kamikaze.x 2006-09-03

um..i rekon ur skillz shud be
web>bite>spider>bite>stat>bite etc
and i rkeon u shud get butterfly first b4 MKB, as ur ulti alrdy counts as a mkb, so cant that wait till buttefly?

5 By kamikaze.x 2006-09-03

oh, and lvl 6 wenever possible my bad lol

6 By yicong 2006-09-09

uhm can brood stack his ulti skill with satanic?? and do u think SATANIC would be usefull in late game??

7 By yicong 2006-09-09

uhm can brood stack his ulti skill with satanic?? and do u think SATANIC would be usefull in late game??

8 By dota_adik 2006-09-10

i prefer battle fury and buttrfly too. also try radiance since broodmother is invisible in the web she can farm more faster.

9 By hamed_metalz 2006-09-24

How about using basher??

10 By Lotek 2006-10-19

With Brood ive found very effective just ring of regen, boots, wraith, than going for a sange yasha, the added hp helps alot and you can own anyone early and mid with ult. Ring of health isnt a needed thing with web and most kills should come from straight melle and maybee a spider shot for finish if they actually do get away. After this save for a radiance or butterfly whichever you choose, just get both by end game if possible. Unstoppable.

11 By JoannieLee 2006-10-20

Great strat,keep it up!

12 By TheUltimateOne 2006-12-08

Shameful of you fools! Don't speak that way, but anyways. I'll reply on each one of your comments. For kamikaze, that's your build, why don't you try making your own guide? For Lotek, You're looking at a pro playing, hahaha!! Look, all of the SG's are for beginners, not for pros. Only pros comment.

13 By McGuaoMan 2006-12-12

any thoughts on a black king bar? Might be nice in conjunction with the ultimate. BKB, MoM, and ult might be pwnage...

14 By karuma 2007-02-05

i agree get butterfly fury since the more you attack faster the more faster you'll kill an enemy,especially with incapacitating bite. this is my build its just basic but its good. Threads-S&Y-Butterfly-Tarrasque-MKB-Vladimir's offering.

15 By karuma 2007-02-05

you wont need bkb since her IH gains alot of hp and adds alot of damage why bother. you'll eventually kill your enemy fast enough not to notice about an enemy's stun.

16 By sibak 2007-02-07

It's ok....

17 By NeedForKill 2007-02-08

Wheres ur butterfly???forgot or wad

18 By Nyyanks 2007-02-11

perfect guide

19 By lol_master 2007-02-14

why don't u use radiance instea of MKB as with incapaciting bite it has great odds of causing slow in a small area . i tried it and i OWNED . ALMOST NOBODY MELLE HERO CAN APPROACH U !!!

20 By lol_master 2007-02-14

NICE STRATEGY

21 By lol_master 2007-02-14

NICE STRATEGY

22 By dOtA-AlLsTAr 2007-02-14

i usually get bite over spiderlings... maybe thats jus me tho

23 By KINGtiger 2007-02-19

Why doesn't my incapacitating bite work? What is orb effect isn't it an aura? PLS HELP ME Because i love this hero

24 By niggysmalls 2007-02-19

25 By KINGtiger 2007-02-19

COME ON PLS help!!! Someone?

26 By ming_tea[bbc] 2007-02-26

Well, an orb effect isn't an aura. And I'm not sure but if you get an item like Sange & Yasha, I think it deactivates it or something.

27 By ditor 2007-02-27

28 By lilskaterboy_22 2007-03-10

34 By J-Unit 2007-03-16

what is wrong wit you people.. SNY???!??!? Its an orb effect.

Nice guide

35 By MI-Lepke 2007-03-16

This hero can take out a tower by lvl 4 sometimes.

36 By MI-Lepke 2007-03-16

Perserverance is not required .
1-bassilus 2-boots 3-powertread 4-crystalisis-5 burize-6 offering

37 By makio893 2007-03-22

Now i just want to find the best item for this hero.

..... nice .....

38 By morpheus8 2007-04-08

meh. i prefer to lvl up bite first. web,bite,bite etc.. ultimate is crucial. items: treads, b/fury, butterfly, buriza, mkb. ULTI SKILL IS NOT ORB EFFECT BUT BITE IS, for those who dont know. cheers

39 By farq 2007-04-12

i'm afraid of spiders.

40 By ralph13misha 2007-04-20

What hero can counter broodmother well

43 By rain9441 2007-05-09

slardar and bh's track work well against broodmother (cant go invis), and earthshaker's echo slam will lay to waste everything and anything that is amidst the army of little spiders. Medusa's purge ult removes broodmothers ult, so she does well too.

44 By DoomKiller666 2007-05-11

What about Sand King, can he beat this hero with sentry wards or gem

45 By tobi_z88 2007-05-19

46 By TheJuggernaut 2007-05-21

i think that your stratgey guide needs to be a little more indepth if you can make it. the item build is rather good but unfortunantely you cant buy a aegis anymore it comes by killing roshan. i like the butterfly and radiance idea more evasion increase to your orb effect. The only thing i find a very little problem with and msot poeple wouldnt consider it big is if you had a radiance lets say and you were going to invis to kill a enemy wouldnt the radiance damage get ride of you element of suprise. good guide though right to the point and i like that its not huge. if you ever do make a massive guide be sure to put screenies in because a big guide with just text is boring to read and i just skim over it and find the parts i want to read.

47 By mr_pogi118 2007-05-23

n mgiging godlike keu!! trust me!!

48 By Dashy_gazzz 2007-05-23

radienence now is not a gd idea, my as well for dr since with the aegis is like no prob...btw this is one of the few heros that can solo roshan at lv 11...
2nd point, u get a free RoH when u up the web's lv to 4, did any1 notice that?
And i really think a RoB starting is kinda dangerous. Yes u get amour and mana regen to spam ur skill. Hey wait a min, u can depassive the RoB aura now... OKie, not a prob
Well, similar to radience, at mid game, it gives u away especially when u wan the enemy to walk behind u past ur creeps when in web... they can see the vlad offering aura... well anyways, its a gr8 guide, but missing the advantages u can get from ur webs

49 By Andurill68 2007-06-13

Aegis of the Immortal drops from roshan...

Very nice !

50 By pacmanshirase 2007-06-13

awesome 20/10

51 By quadro 2007-06-26

good strategy

52 By shaman_nick 2007-06-27

Broodmother is better off by maxing out the web and bite alternatively and Hunger on heroes near Towers

Just make sure u do denying nicely from the web in 2 vs 2
Rest assured she will get the kill
My build:
2 x Wraith bands,Power Treads,Burizado,
Battlefury,Butterfly
Replace the wraith bands by MKB and HoT/Kelen's Dagger/Lothar's
Just remember to sneak up from behind only....

53 By demredona 2007-06-29

to dominate with arachnia you need attack speed and early game survivability, butterfly is the answer.how to get it QUICK ENOUGH IS the question.answer, early game ring of regen suffices with the web.DONT GO BACK TO THE WELL. TIME is an essential key to a Brood Invasion
.Brood is a GREAT pusher early game so use this advantage.Buy POWER THREADS then VOID STONE.why? MORE SPIDERS, MORE KILL, MORE MONEY. SPAM SPIDERLING ALWAYS. just do leave enough mana for your ulti. your goal is to acquire BUTTERFLY AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. FIRST THE QUARTER STAFF THEN EAGLEHORN.without the recipe you can be Godlike, with it, your BEYOND. END THE GAME BY MIDGAME!!! THIS IS THE POINT ANY OVERLOOK. BROOD IS A FAST PUSHER AND AN EARLY-MID HERO KILLER.in dota and in most other games, SPEED is the key.if there is still a LATE GAME, just buy RADIANCE, TARRASQUE then convert the void into LINKEN SPHERE.good strat anyway!

54 By mv20vm 2007-07-04

Radiance is not a good idea for brood nor SnY and vlad. SnY is orb, vlad is aura thus ambush is useless coz they will see the aura. Butterfly is a must. Beware of Gondar with desolator. Because of hero track, brood is a food..

55 By irondacha 2007-07-07

I think it's completely wrong to take spawn spiderlings before Incapacitating Bite cuz it slow the hero,cause them to miss and grants bonus dmg.So u just need to w8 in the net patiently and w8 4 the enemy to pass u ,activate ulti and attack.He's finished,he cant escape cuz of the orb and hes taking a great deal of dmg cuz of ur ulti

56 By cave man 2007-07-09

1 of the most useless guides i av seen

57 By chenny 2007-07-16

Hey! gotta ask u guys, does satanic's lifesteal cancel brood's orb????

58 By seductas 2007-07-18

You cannot farm that much in early game

59 By Zoal 2007-07-19

60 By Shimrra_3 2007-07-19

OK. I was considering making a BM guide myself so I thought I'd check out existing ones. The other one got mowed by flamers... this one was more liked.

To everyone who has asked - you can NOT get BM ANY kind of lifesteal item besides Vlads, or any other Orb Effect. Bite is much more powerful.

Now the guide... the first thing I noticed is that the skill build is almost exactly what I use. But, like many other guides from who-knows-how-long-ago, it is REEALLY small. Plenty of modern guides fit more into a single section than this entire guide (bar comments).

It looks like it works. But because of everything its missing, I'd only give it 8/10. Not bad for a guide only 1/6 as long as others though hahaa.

61 By S3rbian_Ramb0 2007-08-02

nice strategy but i fink u left out the vladimiirs offering lol

62 By Dashy_gazzz 2007-08-02

hmmm, Maxium lifesteal can be acheived with Brood.
Brood's ulti lv3 = 60%
Vald's offering = 16%
Satanic's active effect = 15%
(Skeleton King's aura) = 20%
total = 111% lifesteal

Omg... did any1 see tt??? lol, this is provided that either SK is around or Brood's orb effect (incapacity bite) overwrites satanic's passive 20& orb effect.

Pure lifesteal ownage...

63 By Pro200™ 2007-08-09

u forgot about the butterfly

64 By Ignisletum 2007-08-17

I think this strategy is bad, I can manage without spiderling at all, even then get a killing streak.

65 By k528462113 2007-08-18

I dont think MKB is suck a good idea.. i use MKB as a REMEDY only for specific heroes. i think getting butterfly first is better. also, i think you should consider putting the heroes who can compliment your hero build-up and also the heroes that can pound you. Also, instead of Heart of Tarrasque, maybe you should consider Assault Cuirass and Vladimir's Offering because it not only benefits you, it also affects you spiderlings and spiderites. well, that's all for now. ciao!

66 By k528462113 2007-08-18

67 By KenjiHarima25 2007-08-22

What heroes are best in contrdctng or killin' brood mama and at d same tym never let ur enemy make muni w/ brood mama?

68 By king-nooblah 2007-08-22

i like this strat, but you can also turn bm into a perma basher if you get butter and midas/ac she can perma like no tommarow, but thats just onther idea if you team needs bash great strat 9/10

69 By Zed™ 2007-09-02

Can brood mother win againt barathrum? i really need to now which items i should go for?

70 By shaman_nick 2007-09-09

Try this inventory on Broodmother believe me its great :
Radiance,Battlefury/Linkens/MkB,Tarrasque,Butterfly,
Burizado,Boots of travel .
I got 29 kills in 3 vs 3 allpick match.

Start by getting 2 x Wraith bands,
1 x RoR,PowerTreads early game .
Opt middle lane cast web and wait.Max out web and Incap.bite and get stats up.Harass lone heroes and stay in the web and maintain full hp and deny.
When hero comes near your tower and the tower hits him start the ultimat and
atk hero.Kill him and then surprise new victim from behind on another lane when ulti. cooled down .

71 By mv20vm 2007-09-09

Double basher is ok too!!

72 By bodo_amat 2007-09-11

maybe you can use vladmir, rather than satanic, to keep the bite working. but im not sure if it stack with bood's ulti?...

73 By john2078 2007-09-19

I use broodmother all the time and I prefer vanguard against perserverance then I go for MKB it owns just the same.

74 By vendetta003 2007-09-22

My item build:
-Radiance
-Battle fury
-Vladimirs
-BoT
-Butterfly
-Buriza

75 By cowmang 2007-09-26

probably just me since im a greedy bastard but my item build is usualy pure pk...power treads,bfly,mjollnir,cranium basher, assault currais and of course buriza. i do this strat mostly cuz with ur ult its a 60% lifesteal and when ur hitting hard and fast they f****d if they dont have a stun

76 By SaBaKu_Kyuu 2007-09-29

nice start bro
my strategy like this one also!
I have tried It in turnament and I can end the game in 24 minutes!
THX FOR THE STRATEGY..MAKE ANOTHER OWNAGE IDEAS!
ADIOS!

77 By shadowmastermk47 2007-10-06

ANNOUNCE-MENT!!!
I'm a make a new and improved guide, but I'll still derive it from this one. I'll post it before X-Mas. Have fun and stay active, DS rox azz!!
-MK

78 By zitnarou™ 2007-10-08

nice cause ur using diffrerent tactics ....every match.....

79 By Lethivold 2007-10-17

i don't really like the 3rd skill's orb effect..4 th 2st time i thought,,, i should give her the MoM 4 the high aspd..then use her ulti..ahh it feels good..but orb effects do not stacks.hate it so much

80 By RazorFever 2007-10-17

Nice Strat!
My item build is
-Power Treads
-MKB
-Butterfly
-Buriza
-Assault Cuirass
-HoT/Vanguard/Vladimir

81 By ethanboy01 2007-10-19

hahahahahhaahaha sily!!!

82 By jamesrulz123 2007-10-19

VERY NICE

83 By dwindwin 2007-10-19

i disagree with the skill build... it must be web-bite-web-bite-bite-ulti-spiderling.. because normally two webs won't do in the early game..

84 By dwindwin 2007-10-19

i disagree with the skill build... it must be web-bite-web-bite-bite-ulti-spiderling.. because normally two webs won't do in the early game..

85 By Lethivold 2007-10-22

i disagree with u dwin2,,coz spawnspiderlings is very useful for early game farming.i took the web only once,than i'll focus with spawn and web.well,,it's just my opinionWaht do u think?

86 By jo_133-7 2007-10-29

87 By 09275362090 2007-10-30

89 By alden.jacob 2007-11-13

brood's third skill won't work because of the satanic(orb effect)if you realy want lifesteal vladimir's the right item since it's an aura.

90 By whateveryousay 2007-11-17

I think it will be better if Broodmother buy a cranium basher . So she will be able to capture his enemy more accurately

91 By whateveryousay 2007-11-17

better item:
2x cranium basher
MKB
power threads
Aegis of the immortal
Buriza do kyanon

92 By polareclipse 2007-11-19

hmm i read a few comments first of all mkb must be used b4 ulti or ulti is wasted
dont get radiance, may be good for farming but you might aswell not be invisible as they can see were abouts you are for aoe spells
also get a vlad possibly because it is aura it stracks with broods ulti
very
very nice =)

93 By |V|essiah 2007-12-03

also get butter.....total ownage

94 By Jazzim 2007-12-07

No vlads or even mech...... Disgusting

95 By RapedByTheBand 2007-12-07

1. 2 stouts (creeps wont do a noticeable damage)
2. treads(agi)
3. bassilus
4. butter
5. mkb
6. vlad
7. make 1 stout vanguard
8. basher or radiance.

96 By someone_92 2007-12-09

good strati would buy a vlads for more lifesteal and more manaregen for spamming spawn spiderlings THX 4 LISTENING

97 By nourth91 2008-01-10

98 By rYeLkUn 2008-03-28

exactly..radiance and vladimir's offering makes no sense at broodmother's enemy heroes will easily knw if yur there coz the aura of lifestealing (VO)and radiance..thats a great disadvantage too..the latest build for broodmama i guess..is basher..im a broodmother user and i owned a lot of people playing dota. well its up to you guyz think i guess wat is necessary to build for brood..and oh not the orb effects one.

99 By chaoswhite 2008-04-02

i feel that you should upgrade the Broodmother's skills like this
Lvl 1:Spin web
Lvl 2:Incapacitating Bite
Lvl 3:Incapacitating Bite
Lvl 4:Spawn Spiderlings
Lvl 5:Spawn Spiderlings
Lvl 6:Insatiable Hunger

max out Spawn Spiderlings followed by Incapacitating Bite then Spin Web. this would greatly improve your game as upgrading too many Spawn Spiderlings bofore the Incapacitating Bite would only let you deal damage but when he runs away, you are unable to catch up with him without your Bite.

100 By chaoswhite 2008-04-02

What do u guys think bout that? Agree? Or disagree

101 By Encha_owns 2008-04-18

very nice keep it up

102 By Poknut 2008-04-21

Prioritize incapacitating bite
