Ehmm.. this is my first strategy guide so its free for you to add comments. Well, this guide contains my build and strategy for Barathrum the Spiritbreaker. Barathrum can be the number one hero in a game if you play him well so we will be discussing things about confronting enemy lines. I hope you will enjoy reading my guide.. and goodluck!

	Barathrum - The Spiritbreaker Range: 100 \| Move Speed: 295 Primary: STR Str: 23 + 2.5 \| Agi: 17 + 1.7 \| Int: 15 + 1.8 Damage: 45 – 55 \| HP: 587 \| Mana: 195 HP Regen: 1 \| Mana Regen: 0.61 Attack Speed: 1.41 \| Armor: 5
	Charge of Darkness (C) Barathrum fixes his sight on an enemy and accelerates towards it. As you increase speed, you begin to merge with the shadows around you, becoming difficult to see until you stop the Charge or hit your target. Upon leaving the shadows, Barathrum shocks his opponent into an immobile state for some time. Can track invisible units. Level 1 - Accelerates slowly, 1 sec stun. Level 2 - Accelerates moderately, 1.5 sec stun. Level 3 - Accelerates fast, 2 sec stun. Level 4 - Accelerates very fast, 2.5 sec stun. Mana Cost: 120 Cooldown: 40 Comment: Never use this when you are too far away from the enemy because this skill can be noticed at the status window that allows them to stick to their tower or allies.
	Empowering Haste (H) Causes the Spiritbreaker to swing his weapon faster with higher movement speed, allowing him to deal extra damage. His presence increases the movement speed of nearby units (200 AoE). Level 1 - Increases movement speed by 2% and damage by 4% of his movement speed. Level 2 - Increases movement speed by 4% and damage by 8% of his movement speed. Level 3 - Increases movement speed by 6% and damage by 12% of his movement speed. Level 4 - Increases movement speed by 8% and damage by 16% of his movement speed. Mana Cost: N/A Cooldown: N/A Comment: This passive skill is very useful especially when you have higher moving speed that allows him to deal more damage.
	Greater Bash (T) Gives a 17% chance to bash enemies across the ground, doing more initial damage and damage as they skid. Level 1 - 25 bonus damage, 240 knockback distance. Level 2 - 50 bonus damage, 270 knockback distance. Level 3 - 75 bonus damage. 300 knockback distance. Level 4 - 100 bonus damage. 330 knockback distance. Mana Cost: N/A Cooldown: N/A Comment: A good looking attack that drives away enemies with extra damage. For me it is the most unique bash attack in Dota. Very Cool!
	Nether Strike (E) Moves you next to your target doing extra damage. if you have Greater Bash learned, you will also score a Greater Bash hit. Level 1 - 100 bonus damage on hit. Level 2 - 200 bonus damage on hit. Level 3 - 300 bonus damage on hit. Mana Cost: 200/ 250/ 300 Cooldown: 40 Comment: A powerful attack that bashes the enemy backwards. It allows u to move next to ur opponent with more dmge, if you have build up more on 3rd skill the greater the damge of your ultimate skill will do.

Yowza!

I would have to say no for the stat build. Max out empowering hast first. That bonus damage and movespeed really help. Next is Greater bash. Always get nether strike when you can. You can get charge of darkness in levels 11-14. No need for treads since you have travel. Replace it with hyperstone for aspd.

2 By wanster 2006-09-06

i thought spiritbreaker should buy basher? and imho charge of darkness should be upped at least once before lv6, confirms a kill with all the stunning

3 By KsMaster 2006-09-06

Boots don't stack and you should really get a butterfly or hyper and some basher would do good for some extra bash/stun

4 By Charles 2006-09-06

choper14 isnt this build from www.johnmall.com? The conclusion part is exactly the same

5 By drew 2006-09-06

Hi Charles, if you can point us to the exact page on that site, that would help a lot.

6 By Charles 2006-09-06

hi drew, this is the site http://www.johnmall.com/Barathrum.html

7 By drew 2006-09-06

Got it. Hopefully choper can give an explanation. A simple acknowledgement would suffice.

8 By Gman299 2006-09-06

it is very similar and also max out empowering haste first is a good idea

9 By yukino_silvermaine 2006-09-06

Oooh.
No bashers too. Tsk..

10 By zex 2006-09-07

i areee with KsMaster. get battlefury for your mana regen.

11 By choper14 2006-09-07

hey charles, i dont really know about that site. its just my friends that told me about that... sorry!

12 By GusOrtiz 2006-09-09

For me first priority with thi hero is move speed since it gives u bonus dmg. Look base move speed is 290 + 90 (boots of travel) = 380 +%10 (sange&yasha) = 380+38 = 418 of move speed, %16 of this added to ur dmg gives u +66.88 dmg . Dont get treads, save for mkb instead so u will have 30% stop magic +90 bonus dmg . +66.88 bonus from ur speed + ur bashin skill, PWNED

13 By shadowmastermk47 2006-09-09

Let me get this...
Boots of Travel
Sange and Yasha
The Butterfly
Hyperstone
Battle Fury
Blade Mail/Plate Mail/Heart of Tarrasque

I don't go for tarrasque unless the enemy(ies) is/are nukers/armor disablers

14 By nastykosh 2006-09-11

I prefer to have a power threads instead of Boots of Travel since this thread's title is "SPEEDY BARATHRUM" lolz hahaha

Power Threads, SnY, Linken's Sphere, MKB, Cranium Basher, the last item is up to you.. but i prefer to have Blade Mail or Vanguard instead of Aegis and Heart.. thats all..

*folks reading threads*
please do review what your posting in the thread prior to the title of the thread.. hehehe feel free to critize hehe

15 By aizirk 2006-09-12

buriza,try satanic butterfly is great travel boots and sny

16 By holyshit98 2006-09-18

basher is helpful foe dis char.

17 By deathseh 2006-09-27

good but try buying bashers its perfect for killng naix

18 By _noob28_ 2006-12-08

yeah u must really max out empowering haste then greater bash....... are this items good for barathrum? S&Y, Heart of Tarrasque, power threads, Bashers, Buriza and MKB

19 By yohanpogi 2007-01-27

try this, 2 circlets of nobility, 1 sange and yasha, battlefury, double vanguard, and lastly if you can buy HoT.. it is a pusher and at the same time killer..

20 By jaike 2007-02-07

try this build guys. two bracers, boots of speed, mask of madness. if you're farming right, you should be able to get these by level 11. with these, you can do kills against full hp heroes but you'll have to have full mana. 1st do a charge and when you hit him, activate mask of madness immediately. barathrum will swing like crazy while your enemy is stunned. you will at least get one or two greater bash hits. if he tries to escape, do netherstrike. result? dead enemy hero! its really fun. but dont expect the same result if youre able to get the items at around level 15.

21 By jaike 2007-02-07

22 By ralph_067 2007-02-18

hmmmm..... I would prefer use battle fury for farming!!!!!
hehehehehe

23 By Setoxsc 2007-02-18

What range does Charge of Darkness have? I read somewhere you can target an enemy all across the map.. is this true?

24 By R4G3 2007-02-22

25 By t0xicity 2007-03-02

the guide on this like: http://www.johnmall.com/Barathrum.html

it is not very good at all, infact it fails hard sorry but i feel the "break more than just spirits" guide is tops

26 By dota_gamerz 2007-04-23

Nice guide, although it's too short. Can you boost it up a little? Haha, LOL!

27 By mv20vm 2007-04-26

If your aiming for basher, make it 2. Coz you can only enjoy its total bash when you double it. Plus hyperstone to greatly trigger the chance to bash. Your opponent can barely move due to the skid/push specially if he's cornered.

28 By mv20vm 2007-04-26

In response to post #23, yes that's true. You can cast the charge of darkness to any enemy on the map. In fact, you can use it as your scape goat when an enemy is fleeing you. Just cast it on the enemy creep and there he goes, he will run fast. Just cancel it if you are sure that the fleeing hero is already far from you. It's also good when your ally is being ganked. You can be there immediately.

29 By HIV_ 2007-05-09

u mixed up the description on sange and yasha
sange says atk & move speed
yasha says chance to maim

30 By Geoffo 2007-06-02

Yo yo guys, try this build right here. get these in order

Treads
SnY
Radiance
MKB
HoT
Buriza

ULTIMATE OWNAGE. I just finished a game with that

31 By XxbOoeyxX 2007-08-11

weak!! buying treads and b.O.t, that just dont stack. b.O.t and s&y is good enough with butterfly en H.o.t

32 By Cia_ik_Lee 2007-10-06

that is a great strategy....!!!
Cool...

33 By JI87M 2007-10-24

not good

34 By akh_874 2007-10-26

2 bashers because they stack.

combined with your bash the enemies will not be doing any fighting because they will always be stunned.

battle fury is good too because of the splash damage.

35 By AXCELACCEL 2007-11-07

buy cuirass

36 By Mortal Tree 2007-11-09

a Vlad's right after SnY
helps quite a lot

37 By AXCELACCEL 2007-11-14

38 By unholydonuts2 2007-12-08

umm would cranium basher be good 4 this guy?

39 By someone_92 2007-12-08

40 By Marth 2007-12-24

I rate this guide a 1, because it overlooks VERY MANY important items and abilites barathum has. There are so many problems and bad advice, I would suggest not looking at this guide if you plan on playing barathum. You have not grasped even how his spells work. This is a much more complicated hero.

41 By thedeadly 2007-12-29

hehe cool..

42 By bitok 2008-01-21

try this guys..
treads
madness
s&y
cuirass
now, u probably wont find a hard time killing heros..and then..
divine
divine
yunlang!!!

43 By de4ever 2008-03-30

I would buy these items 4 barathrum, good 4 farming n killing:
power treads
s&y
battlefury
satanic or just helm of dom
basher
mkb
fast n deadly..
good luck

44 By csirkefogo 2008-04-21

I never buy satanic or heart for him. 2700 HP at the end of the game are enough. My build: threads, vladimir's, SnY, hyperstone, assault (or another hyper), cranium. Permastunner, fast, living tank. So forget about HP stuffs (bloodstone, tarrasque, etc) max your attackspeed and get a cranium. Noone stands in your way (or just for a while :-P)

45 By ZOMGIMBAHAQ 2008-04-27

I have an alternate build for those of you who are tired of playing a typical Bara:
BoT
Skadi
Linken
Yasha
2x bracer
With Bara I feel the need for my ult to get kills. With this build it just aint so.

46 By MadMax 2008-05-04

Barathum can easily own Leoric, poorly detailed strategy, bad item build, don't rate it, no use.
