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!
Charge of Darkness (C)
Barathrum fixes his sight on an enemy and starts charging through all objects. Any unit that comes into contact during the charge triggers a greater bash proc. Upon leaving the shadows, Barathrum shocks his opponent into an immobile state for some time. Enemy can only see buff indicator when you are near them. Charge is interrupted if disabled.
Level 1 - Charge at 425 ms then stuns for 1.2 seconds.
Level 2 - Charge at 500 ms then stuns for 1.6 seconds.
Level 3 - Charge at 575 ms then stuns for 2.0 seconds.
Level 4 - Charge at 650 ms then stuns for 2.4 seconds.
• Target will become aware of the charge (a buff is visible in the status bar) when Barathrum is within 3000 distance.
• Barathrum will run through units and trees.
• Allies of Barathrum (and himself) will see an animation over the head of the target.
• Any unit you pass through (250 AoE) will proc a Greater Bash of your current level (nothing will happen if you didn't skill it)
• The charge stops if you click anywhere, or if you are disabled.
• Barathrum gains shared vision of the target for the duration.
• If the target dies, the charge is transferred to the nearest valid target.
Mana Cost: 100
Cooldown: 40 seconds
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.

STRATEGY:
Try to go into a lane with a melee hero, or a hero with no strong nukes like Zeus as much as possible, creep denial should always be your first priority, the creep killing is 2nd to your list. Just farm gold by killing last shots on creeps, furthermore do not harass enemy her, just be sure that you are safe and getting enough experience and gold. When your enemy tries to harass you, just fight back and always be sure that you have the advantage because of your 3rd skill. If you health is almost 1/4, just stick to your tower for regen to avoid deaths.
