Ultimate Creep Killer

You should take a Storm Bolt at least in Level 1. It's good for harasing,then you can max it or not,doesen't mater. Good item build,maybe something for agility befor S&Y.But good strat.

Then Vanguard should be replaced by Tarrasque by the late game. Also give him a Mask of Madness or at least a Hyperstone.

Does battlefury directly stack with great cleave? I know it does with magnataur's skill..

geeze...what a totally wrong way to play sven, sorry man, but your views are msiguided. Sven can take a hero 1v1 at lvl 6 easy, you should have either storm bolt and cleave, or storm bolt and armor aura. Max storm bolt asap, then use ur ult, bolt, and smack away = dead hero. sven can chase down a hero prety well, just wait for ur bolt to cd, and use it again, i like the idea of mass creep killer, but sven can kill creeps well enough, you dont need a second battle fury, interesting guide tho

I have to agree with SexualPanda.
Sven is one of the best 1v1 hero killers around really. His ult is basically a portable Divine that has a cd. Whenever facing Sven I run if he's got godstrenght on.

Not if I use medusa or if I have diffusal blade.

But really.. Storm bolt should always be maxed out first. Very useful for harassing, chasing, and for ganking.

Yeah, Storm Bolt is a very useful skill, it helps you run, chasing, and harassing enemy! But, good strat though!

Hey thanks guys! I'll keep this in mind when playing him again. . I always leave the hero killing to my team mates. Haha!

Hey you guys make Sven a more powerful hero than I thought! Thanks again.

never thought you people think you can harras w/ stormbolt w/o getting stats after storm bolt , storm bolt stats thats an ideal build even for a creep killer coz when you use GS you should have a hifher damge than usual and you can use stormbolt for harrasing never get any other skils after stormbolt just get stormbolt stats if you cant pump stats get cleave . hope i made you clear w/ using sven

Stormbolt then stats? Nah.. I can compensate stats with items. I get Toughness Aura. That 5 armor bonus really helps for pushing. Add a ring of basilius then tadaa! An 8 armor bonus aura.

bolt and toughness and doing much early game lets say its 5 on 5 people dont have that much damge to get reduced lets say at a mark of 40-60 damge nothing to get reduced by toughness i preffer stats since you can get toughness w/ ROB plus stats give more mana and gives a powerful god strenght since godstrenght gives low dmg bonus in early i think if you want tough ness get it after lvl 11 or when stats are at 6-7 since this will give you high hp high damge high mana and gives you the advantage of regenerating your hp coz 14 str gives - 1.4 hp regen then w/ rOr or ROh it gives 5 or 3 hp . s/ and w/ stats you wont have trouble farming since your damge is high plus if you use MOM it gives you extra lifesteal
get my point? i aint forcing you to my build but i highly recomend it, toughness if get only when opponents have high damge already try facing a another sven w/ this build w/ your toughness it and gonna do much coz your gs aint doing much since i have higher damge

Wrong. 14 str gives you 0.42 HP regen bonus. 8 armor is a BIG thing [creeps have almost 45% damage reduction].

Stats, as I said, can be compensated by items [bracers, sange, etc]. I'm not forcing you to go with my build to. So... Peace dude. ^_^

k cant force you w. my strat we all got our own strategies its just how we go w/ it

No, Sven is not just only creep pusher. At lv. 6 he can push and kill! Well Battle Fury may stack, but for what use? Sven's Cleaving ability's ok!

ah sven in hero killing ?? storm bolt then i go for a busher 1st...WHY???.. here's my strat.. storm bolt a hero then harass him..(dont just use GS) wait for the basher to take effect then GS and boom hit hit hit....then busher effect again..hit hit hit. (storm bolt again if needed) 2 bashers is good...4 sure GS will not be wasted...

oh by the way just a reminder..keep your eyes open for the effect of the basher (stun) and ofcourse a quick finger for GS....

If battlefury and sven's cleave stack then that would mean 85% splash damage. That's alot considering you have high or a very high attack damage for sven!easy farming and pushing probably. if i'm correct this also stacks with magnataur's splash. We don't need to argue, all we're posting here are views and the best thing to do is to accept our views and not show any disrespect. we're helping each other out here and not just to boast our skills. We're players so show some respect to each other.

um..hey dude i think u got the cleaving atk splash wrong..its only 40% wile magnataurs is 50.. nywaiiz the stat and toughness aura dependss on wat type of game ur playing..if u play 1 on 1 i prefer getting stats, and for team aura..but i guess ppl play differently and are better with 1 staratgy than another

Dude you dont need 2 Battle furies and you might think of getting HoT and Gunisoo

kamikaze.x shut up

who cares if he can kill creeps sven doesnt need to kill creeps he owns heros much easier

sven sux . he is one of the weakest hero on dota and think twice before u use it

ur making sven a crap killer with ur strategy. tsk tsk! f.y.i. sven is an excellent 1v1 hero my friend. he can even take down 2 heroes simultaneously. before popping out to ur enemy, be sure to cast ur GS then stun 'em. more likely for those agi heroes like dwarven. if ur able to stun 'em, there gud as gold!

your wrong fff Sven don't sux, you sux. You must be the weak one not Sven

Can u try this build?
Boots of travel for mor GS and SB hits
Mekansm for armor and additonal heal and armor and tranquility aura (GOOD FOR CREEPS) HEADRESS (makes it 5 hp tranquilty aura) AEGIS x2 (74% damage reduction +70% reduction from spells)
BASILIUS (+8 armor for creeps) REPLACE HEADRESS AND BASI LATER WITH 2 HEARTS (73% damage reduction 70% spell reduction 25 hp regen per second 4200+ life its like getting 2 damage for every 100 damage recieved)

take a strom bolt n stats first,its make you a real killer

so....you can only kill creeps with SVENS POWERFUL DMG
YOU CAN KILL SOMEONE WITH SVEN JUST By ADDING MoM in your arsenal
MASK of MADNESS:
Active
75%aspd
10% LIFE STEAL
15% extra dmg take(dont wory DevAura will take care with it)
15%mspd (better for chasing)

sven's the best hero at dota, especially at late, he's the best tank. this guy has no idea how to play sven, his build should be BOT, battle furry, santanic, hyperstone, heart, you can also get dagger, or rapier. there's no need to get agis at late game even. sven can take on 3 hero at once for god sake. his ulti plus rapier will gave him almost 700 dmg, none of other hero can do that.

WOOOOOOWWWWW DAMI NYO ALAM 6 NA DIVINE RAPIER NG SET NYAN WAHAHH JOWK NS SET TOL

I say that the stats + stormbolt build is the best for sven..but this should e good as a great pusher strat

Why i dont see guide here for item who will be use to SVEN...???

i disagree with the build.. great cleave is useless in early game because of its low damage early on.. Storm/stat build for me is the best build for sven.. I think only mortred can match sven in terms of damage output..

You really dont need a battle fury. madness aegis and divine is what he needs... and a tarasque... UNKILLABLE!!!

Good item for Sven is:
BKB
Aegis
Divine
= Unstoppable

Storm + stats = LOVE
This combo was made my noobasaurasrex ages ago. :) just saying if your interested.
I remeber Sven being the best 5 vs 1 hero in the older versions because God's Strength lasted 60 seconds and Great Cleave was 80% and the Damage Increase from God's Strength was 250%. 5 vs 1 was so possible

suldnt he buy a guinsoo or 2?

youre putting svens powerful ulitmate on nothing sven is a hero killer not creep killer, and you must always put storm bolt because youre teamm8s are gonna expect you to have that especially if you have enemies w/ channeling skills. Storm bolt stats???? max out cgreat cleave and toughness aura it will be a great use in hero killing
Anyway nice strat!!!
youre looking at sven at a whole new way

and i just want to comment lion heart;
great cleave in eraly game is used for hero killing while in god strenght

Treads, two Bracers, MoM, Battlefury, Heart, MKB. I don't even play Sven much, but if I get him this always wins. Last time I saw Sven with that lot - wasn't even me, cause this idea is spread.. - well, it took three Guinsoo's to kill him.

Truth to be told, not very good. I simply use mr golblin techies and place mines around a certain area.I run, they follow cableuy 600x8-15= death to any hero.

Sven is a superb tanker and hero killer as well... I prefer to max out Stormbolt then stats, great cleave is not that effective early game, low damage spread just tickles nearby enemies, why cleave when you can do "money shots"?! toughness aura can be replaced by ring of basilius early game. STATS = ADVANTAGE early game! Don't forget MoM on Sven, just threw away S&Y... Why maim, when you can STUN?!

does like the cleave from sven's skill stack with battle fury?

o and if do cleaving damage and if u have satanic does it lifesteal the cleaving damage as well?

Lolz

you need to have lvl 3 sotrm bolt in early game. coz at lvl 6 he can already by just gods strength and strm bolt

great cleave only does 8 damage at lvl 1, at level 7, ur cleave will deal 40 damage.
ur skill build is all over the place, it confuses me.

and put items there!!!

God's Strength is a nice ulti to use. I love this skill.

are u so noob...i think yes. Toughness Aura is good at start when u have low armor.For teammates,creeps at start is very useful and + your creeps will die slower result? pushing

yow.u can use battle fury if you like farming.if you like being tough,use HoT.its just that simple.fff,i think the one who sucks is u.

wheres the F*** item build????

if you have magnataur as an ally, buy fury and cleave the life of your enemies

nice

IT also sucks i think you dont have to make the thoughness because when you want ti kill a hero you creeeps will have the aura and your enemy willl see that SVEN is near

it is very sucking strat

nice i like it

hey,
i cant c the item
build and im not sure
if its my computer's fault...
but can u tell me what it is..
hehe...i noe this is kinda noobish.

ok man ang strat..
wat i dont agree is that, sven is a great hero killer. not, a just a creep killer. but, di natin masasabi ang mang yayari. kaya ur strat might be of great help. kaya i suggest, para di na humantong sa ganito,harrass opponents early in the game. have storm bolt and aura maxed. pde narin lvl 2 lng storm bolt. ull hav the edge over sa kalaban... for sure. wak lang kalimutan..batlfury+lifesteal+atkspeed+divine+divine+(aegis)
..

no item build not good at all

"Ultimate Creep Killer"
@Ser.Ator why did he need storm bolt if he just kills creeps? :P
