Hero Hunting Time

well written...nice guide...i would try it sometime

i like this guide.. keep it up..

Nicely done, Bloodseeker used to be one of my fave heroes simply because of his 'ninja' or rather sneaky tactics. We have a very similar item build, commend it. You also explained the usefulness of thirst and rupture quite well. Thumbs up for this one!

Thanks for the comments guys

why dagon? and when in the game do u get it?

Dagon at mid game IF facing high HP opponents. Dagon to help make sure they end up hitting the half hp mark. Rupture+Dagon, then Thirst chase.

IMO thirst as first skill is useless, you can't kill a hero while still at level 1, maybe you should get bloodbath-thirst-bloodbath-thirst-bloodbath-rapture-thirst

True enough blank_blank. Remember that at low levels bloodbath doesn't do much either. Rely on your ring for hp regen. And you're not supposed to be taking hits in the first place. But true, the actual order of thirst and bloodbath doesn't matter at level 1 and 2 :D It DOES matter by level 3, because I want level 2 thirst. Not level 2 bloodbath and level 1 thirst.

Bloodrage has good synergy with rupture. Rupture the enemy.> he stops. Cast Bloodrage and attack the hero. +80% damage is a big thing. If the enemy runs away, he gets damaged (rupture). If he stays, slash away.

Yep, correct. This is something I sometimes get earlier. As mentioned, my skill build after level 11 varies. It's either stats or bloodrage, dependant on the situation. If facing high HP opponents, I normally then get a Dagon, and start pumping Bloodrage.
However, bear in mind your targets are normally meant to be ambushed / doubleteamed. Your strenght lies in getting in that crucial first hit, then essentially bullying your opponent. Don't pick a hero you can't ambush successfully against :D

Nice build ! I always liked the hero,and you covered all the things in your strat.

Very nice guide. Bloodseeker is made to be a hero killer.

not a bad guide, but its way better to get blood bath as your first skill, even denies give you health. Both the hyperstone and dagon are a waste of money. The hypersonte is built in. Attack would be much better

MAN GREAT GUIDE! I always regarded blood seeker as my least favorite hero, and though he pretty much sucked...... WHAT AN IDIOT I WAS! I read this guide and now every game I play as Blood Seeker i come in 1st place! He is now my favorite hero. GJ man!

Oh yea one last thing, i DON'T get dagon. i think you are way better off without it and can kill heroes great enough. DMG is better than dagon in BS case.

nice. but i wud rather get sny over desolater, as if u play that build u will have a lot less life. say in a situation ur vsing a range hero wif butterfly..ur dead already, ur rupture will only do 350dmg, since theyre not moving..and y not a few bashers? if you have answers for this, itll be great..since im not too good wif seeker XD..welol thats late game

Nice, if i were you i would get a basher instead of dagon, but HEY, thats just me!

Hi folks. The Dagon is situational. It's not a must-get item. The reason I use it sometimes is when you face opponents who are very cool in the face of your rupture and just stand there refusing to move. With Dagon, you gain an additional nuke advantage that normally forces them to move or die, or stand and die.
But I do agree, in most situations, the money you spend on Dagon can be better spent on damage items instead... play it by ear guys.

Reason I don't use bashers on BS is because one basher is insufficient for permabash, you really need two. And you don't need a basher to catch people, so it's not that useful for that purpose. Two is a lot of cost and takes up inventory space. You also don't need SNY for maim to catch people. I find I don't worry overmuch about hps early-mid game, so I don't normally like SNY just for the hp boost either.

Thanks for the comments!

dagon isnt that good for him
get more damage i would suggest radiance that way if they keep on running with rupture they get down to half and if they stop u just have to hit them a few times

at least have blood rage lvl 1 when your between lvl 1-6 . use it just like silence when going for zeus, rhasta, or any disabler,stunner and heavy nuker.

desolator is my first item...

just go build a sange and yasha no nid for stygian.... at least it would give your character a little hp

here's my own BS build item:
-power treads
treads+thirst=522 movement speed!
-mkb
enemy heroes tend to use TP or BoT when being ruptured. so your counter for them is ur mkb! it's 0.1 microstun will interrupt their TP or BoT
-satanic
a very gud use. no need for explanation
satanic+bloodbath=eternal life!
-hand of midas
this item is useful early to mid game. but its very expensive. i'll give u a situation why hand of midas is a gud choice for BS:
your farming on ur lane with half hp, then an enemy hero pops up at ur back with full health! all u nid to do is just simply transmute an enemy creep and puff! ur at full health again! oh yeah ur bloodbath also works on ur own creeps to!

with these few items.. it's a "GG"

gawin ,mo na rin meka yung headress total mura lng nman eh. pati buriza na rin!!!!!!!

gawin ,mo na rin meka yung headress total mura lng nman eh. pati buriza na rin!!!!!!! parabg wala na rin gamit deso dyan eh

STOP SENDING COMMENTS IN JAPPANEESE OR WHATEVER LANGUAGE THAT IS!!!!!

I prefer mask of madness than Crystayst

Intresting strategy!

May I suggest buying the Mask of Madness after buying the Headress of Rejuvination?
It goes well with theb Bloodrage

yahh this SRTAT is very commendable...its very troublesome if your cast with rupture..it's either u die in loss of hp or u die in the hands of bloodseeker....nice..nice...keep it up and try some other combinations

Cool! i never knew how to use Strygwyr, only now, at least i got an idea, your guide really works!! Thanks, atleast i got to own my brother once..

umm i prefer sange n yasha than desolator but u guess its ok?!?

RoR and RoH?? dagon is not neccesary here cause u are a good chaser and with rupture will be good enough I prefer ww instead of dagon.

nice guide..hope to make my own..

use rupture and bloodrage on windwalkers,they won't get away

meh , i go buriza , 2 bashers a hypastone treads and satanic .. thats 600 crits lvl 18 when raged , get bath , then rage and ulti so lvl 9 u r 0 - 4 -
4 - 1 then at lvl 10 lvl rage and the ither shit, just cuz u can

Not really sure bout this but how bout just upgrading dagon to level 5. If you use it the first thing you see an enemy in mid game you would probably take half of his life away and this followed by rupture should make him run all the way.

IMO : Dagon = WTF?!!? What with that, also a MoM is Key for the fast attack speed, with bloodrage, Also The hyperstone isnt needed that much late game because you can atatck nefaster IMO with My BUILD MoM = 75%, But i suppose, Mine: Power Treds, MKB, ButterFly, Stygian Desolater, Mask Of Madness, (What ever Suites Your Situation).

Nice guide. I just wanna add the importance of Bloodrage. Silence! Its very effective against INT heroes since they can't cast spells. They will have to rely on their physical damage. Good when ambushing INT heroes. RUPTURE + BLOODRAGE = KILL! .... I don't recommend it against STR heroes though since they will also have a damage boost with that skill. With their high HP, not even rupture can help you when they stand still and duke it out with you.

hehe i like the pimpness the only thing i was thinking (ive only been playing for like a month or two so odnt take my advice cause even though im good im still a noob) is that bloodseeker would really benefit from the buriza with his speed in attacking his critical strikes would come more often and he would get kills faster and be more dominante then he already is..... but other than that it was a really good start good job

Excellent guide. I like the emphasis on hunting and invisibility. Along that line, I'd dump the headdress, because it may give away your location while hiding. And no bashers? Well, I guess if it's late and you're fighting, that's a bad thing anyway...

Dagon... Stupid decision! MaskOfMadness, Buriza, monkeyKingBar, butterfly and you are the winner! am I right!

well written... bnet player for 3 years and just started Dota in the last 2 weeks/with this guide i had experienced to be demigod .... boy it would have taken me a lot of time without this guide.. but on early game would it be useful to go to straight dagon?...

I like the strategy, problem i have is that bloodseeker is pretty weak at te beginning of the game.. i was facing oblivion and bone fletcher in 1 lane so it was hard to get gold until an ally damaged pugna and i got rapture

for 5v5 game i think HoR, S&Y, Power Treads, Ring of Health and Desolator good enough 2 make you godlike..just stay alive and DONT`T get killed on early game...BS are strong in lvl 9-11..

NICE GUIDE....

This is probably my favorite hero now i went 14-2 with him on my second try and what makes it even better if the other team has a noob with them, rupture gets you fed like crazy

Fantastic guide, i found it super useful for the early game tips. I got 5 kills becuz of it, thnx

i wil try dis

I disagree with the item build. I rather get radience bcoz blood bath works on it.
Also, u need bath early game to make you lane stayable.
Dagon is ok, but not too good. Desolater sux with BS. Getting Satanic is better.

i really xcited now.

YeaH!! that StraTegy RocKs!!!!
YOu JusT HeLped My FrieNd WhO is MasterIng the BlooDseeker!!
Thanx!!! ^_^

Dear Kayu,
Good stra. By the way are you Malaysian ?

omg, you forgot radiance. I diasagree with skill build too. getting blood bath at 1,3,5,7 is essential. In the beggining, buying a flask, tango, BoS, and 3 branches is a must. Why do u need to get hp/sec when you can get 5-20% of a creep's life? Good guide overall though. RADIANCE MAN< PLZ UPDATE TO EARLY RADIANCE RUSH (with 3 bands ofcourse )

dbl post. Ok, dagon=USELESS hyperstone=USELESS MBK=NICE!!! MoM=USELESS (mom is useless, u max anyways, no point of faster, you dont have a slow so you cant hit them alot, also, MoM means you die faster. remeber that you only gain the health AFTER you kill the enemy). Headdres=noob. Trying going around a guy when all of a sudden your creeps have a green hue over them. LOL Desolator=useless, Radiance rush then MKB or Buriza is ALOT better. Orb effect on Bloodseeker is OPTIONAL. Mention the HoM too. Its good when you farm neutrals. BS farms neutrals, sees enemy 50%-, blood rages ENEMY (lvl 1), whacks and whacks. They run? rupture. They beating you, run (522ms to run lol). Note, you shouldnt be beaten. Remeber that you can always use rupture as a little nuke. MENTION THE RADIANCE!!!

triple post... lol DONT USE BLOODSEEKER UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO DENY!!!

cOol!!!!

this strat is nice but why dagon if you have thirst to boost up your speed and hyper stone why if you exchange that to vladimir's you don't have to worry your bloodrage to your life points because you have life steal so if you have PoT,butterfly,buriza,desolator,vladimir's,
radiance this item is to cossy but if you have this you'd godlike or beyond godlike

i'd get heart of tarrasque as well to tank me up and a radiance...

but anyway, still a good build 8/10

or a sanatic instead of HoT

and then its gg

When is the best time to use rupture on the hero???

cool hero..i lov his speed

IMO bloodrage is sometimes better than stats.. During midgame when your BS is starting to become rigged, i would use bloodrage on intel/nuke heros.. although bloodrage is not as good as doom and gives them extra damage, you can use it on runners that have disable spells that can stop you from killing them...

i prefer travels to treads, but nice guide

BloodSeeker is a IMBA Hero, I hate playing against him. Nice Guide though because this is what i'll use to play him for now on. I might change a few things though.

What would happen if you Rupture an enemy and his friend Chen Test of Fates him, or he use TP or Boots of Travel, would he recieve damage?

i like that dagon thing
when im using blood seeker i use aghanims

I stopped reading when I saw Dagon, you also didn't include Midas or Radiance which are great items on bloodseeker.

assault cuirass

I dont know if someone told this but the first item I guess is wrong: Its no Ring of health. Is should be Ring of Regeneration (its for headdress right?)

Tx Bruno

u r sweetness at riting guides

My Item build for The Bloodseeker:

Vanguard
Power Treads
Basher
Sange and Yasha
Hyperstone
Heart of Tarrasque

nice guide

my item for blood:

1. power treads
2. mask of madness
3. vanguard
4. vanguard
5. basher
6. basher

then I convert the vanguards into butterfly and tarrasque.... very killer to tank heroes joke items? ahehehe...

my item for blood:

2. mask of madness

5. basher
6. basher

why do u get dagon?

this character looks pretty badass, would a heart help late game? or is this dude just not useful round that time? all the strategies ive seen say rely on ur friends and sneak attacks in

y get dagon,i find it unless as there are more item item better then it 4 blood.i wiil like to buy mom instead of dagon...having damage and speed is better then dagon

absolutely great.

Nice Guide. I like the stats build, although I was playing with him the other day, and went 18-2 with a different item build: Power Treads -> S&Y --> Stygian --> Butterfly

Then it's basically game over... though you can go for Radiance/Satanic/Assault...

i very noob and stuff

buy i think theres a mistake in th3 guide

"Ring of Regeneration + Ironwood Branch + Headdress of Rejuvenation Recipe Scroll"

and u say "Buy a Ring of Healt" and not of Regenaration

is that right?

I like the guide.
My skill build is a little different for him.
Never really thought about getting Dagon for him, maybe I'll try that out sometime.
Next time you play him, try out SnY, works wonderfully with him because you get that extra move and attack speed boost.
Overall though, I really liked this guide.
9/10

lol @ dagon
so fun to rush it.
dagon>poor hero has half his life>rupture
rinse and repeat

Make Battlefury for this dude and then bloodbath will keep u 100% hp all the time.
Also denying heals you nicely by bloodbath.
If the enemy is intelligence,then you may risk and cast the bloodrage on the enemy to silence it till u finish him.
I once was taken out that way

Nice guide u get 9/10
Great strategy man

I get build of MoM,Battlefury,SnY,BoT,Butterfly,Burizado.
May use satanic also.

Good strategy, im forwarding it on to my hubby cos he likes BS. I think he'd like to try it out.
As for myself:
I went up against blooseeker once, with a kelens dagger, got ruptured, blinked away and got away with my life (as close to death as i was), cos the bloodseeker gave up on chasing.

why dont you make an assault quirass instead of hyper stone??

but i like it i'll try this some times when i have time to play with bloodseeker

I plyd wit BS alot of tyms & tried alot of skll bilds and item bilds 4 him

3.Stygian Deso
4.A Cuirass
5.Butterfly
6.Cranium B
(P.S. if my enemy is a nuker, i use
Linken nstead Cranium B. It relli
works :D)

But during 5vs5 battles, my item build is:

1.Threads
2.Battlefury
3.Vanguard
4.S&Y
5.Mjolnir
6.Radiance
(P.S. my bild wud kill all 5 of them in
secs during their sacrificial push :D)

Well my skill bild 4 BS is:
1. Stygwyr's Thirst
2. Blood Bath
3. Stats
4. Stygwyr's Thirst
5. Blood Bath
6. Rupture
7. Stygwyr's Thirst
8. Blood Bath

ummmmm... mjioner and s any y are both orbs.... dat dnt work... and uhhh.... dagon wtf? headress?

ummmmm... mjioner and s any y are both orbs.... dat dnt work... and uhhh.... dagon wtf? headress? I prefer da build 1. treads 2. radiance 3. s and y or satanic(depends hu ur playing) 4. butterfly and mayb stck 2 mkb 4 minibash uf theres tym

well something i dont understand it why no lothars??? it makes u invis plus u get agi bonus with the invis you can kill a ton easier...

wats transmute? messgage me or sumthing plz

TRansmute turns the creep into money without having to attack...

OMG for a Headress of rejuvenation it's a ring of regeneration not a ring of health get your items straight but i can't say anyting about your build cause i can't use BS!!!...

of course,I like this guide,because my teammates ever blame me for buying Dagon.
But I like that item very much,it make sure to kill hero in complicated battle for bloodbath,or to kill the unfirtunate one in the presence of his allies. I always like to do it.

eheh never thought of dagon

i find this sucks.. i prefer my normal bs.. il need to write that strat up sometime..

yo!! its a great guide...the build can pull it off against most but as pointed out with STR heroes on full HP, ur going to have trouble anyways...free kills aren a way of the game u'kno

hey in the new maps thirst is a passive skill,the old ones u hv to activate it

butterfly...ok
hyperstone...no need it's not like you are making assualt cairass
dagon.....no way man! he doesn't need it
crystalis....if you gonna get that might as well make it into burizza
desolator...it's ok but there are better items for him. and i do know that desolator works with his final so i understand the reason to get it.

BS is the weakest hero. Sand King is the best hero.

smart,liked sore-ee's opinion to

why the noobstick? bs doesnt have any use for a dagon...

)=

so it is also ok to make radiance?

Dagon for BloodSeeker
?????
Ur Weak
Dagon Makes BloodSeeker waste his money
for buying his right item like Buriza, Butterfly, Buriza, MKB ,Power Threads and Cuirass
Dagon makes Blood Seeker weak in mid to late game...
