Traxex. Aura over Frost!? LAWL!

lol. uncommonbuild but the items are great. i usually get mkb if i still hav more money ^_^

Yes, it's an unusual build, but the strategy is good. Why is S&Y bad? And also, Hyperstone can be bought late game.

Hehehe.. Two Drow strats.. It's a nice guide. Unusual skill build but the tactics are good.

What if the heroes gank on you, and they have gem of true sight, how bout it?

What if the heroes gank on you, and they have gem of true sight, how bout it?

all i can say, you just have to learn and get used to your own or upgraded build.. we almost have the same build and strat for Traxex here.. I get MKB for added damage.. HP booster? vanguard is good but HoT is better since she is a fast farmer.. nice work..

Yeah, I agree with nidoking, HoT is better...

agree with nidoking completely. never seen a traxex without a MKB. except that other guys build. i think buttefly should come before burize, coz if u have a butterfly, you can farm faster, and die less coz of he evasion. plus, buttefly is cheaper

i dont knw but dis guide..is quite unique

i build the items and skills the same way. only difference is that i like to get radiance after lothars..helps very much to farm! might take longer but thats wat nutrual creeps are for

Nice strat. i agree with your skill build, but i rather prioritize butterfly before buriza-kyonan.

This skill build is stupid you don't tend to even FARM that much later so why the hell would you get ulti then... this is really not a very good guide it makes me sad....

I like this guide, but I think something is missing.

Nice strategy..

THIS IS GAYEST BUILD EVER!!! HOW COME THIS EVER GOT IN??????? this is completely insane! no frost arrows? how do u catch people???? you wont get any kills with this strat!! this makes baby jesus cry... this makes me wana chunda ... drew .. delete this..

Corrupt_Yeti just cuz u dont agree oesnt mean u hav to flame and the stas true shot is that stats = +2 dmg with trushot it helps increase this dmg more and in the early game the arrows dont do much so save them for late game. (very unique items btw add a hyperstone 4 atk speed in combo w/ marksmanship)

S&Y is a good newb item. It's too much money for the effects it gives off. With drow, just farm for Butterfly.

I was answering Garfeild. =/

Good job man easily the best Drow strat yet especially the skill build. Frost arrows make no sense from lvl 1-9. Get ur damage up and its much better for harrasing. If u just throw in a MoM before lothars, u got the perfect drow.

@Corrupt_Yeti - You are a moron, dont ever post again plz

Does frost arrows stack with lifesteal? Because that would make MoM super good.

i kinda disagree with u skill build. first of all, the fact that u get stats first is really messed up, and second off, frost arrows are great for harrasing, not to mention farming becuz it decreases attack speed making the enemy hero slower thus making their farming much less efficient. also u should not hold off the marksmanship because that also is great for farming.

Skill build seems kinda screwed...
Drow should be one of those tip top harassers early game. putting freezing arrow soo late will screw your early game. not good IMO..

Great guide, thanks i got godlike in 2 games in a row with ur guide. fanks

Lol y would u want lotar edge in late game, in late game drow is geng liao loh replace the lotar loh=.= , here in are the 6 items u get once u have these u unstoppable i gurantee if not sue me, 1st: power treads, 2nd: Divine Rapier, 3rd: Buriza, 4th:aegis, 5th: hyperstone, 6th: hmm... can b either MKB, BKB, Radiance if u really rich get another divine 5 hits on any hero sure die 100%

I used to disagree with the skill build, but with experience i realise you need to farm early game and hit hard, and as such you need power hits over slowing hits. The -10 attack speed really isnt something thatll rattle a human opponent...and well -ms means little early game if theyre slugging it out with you. Plus the fact that she's always a brittle character, and i go stats/aura as well. Maybe 2 points into silence if they have more than one nuker.

drow funy hahahahahaha

S & Y, Sange, Mkb then Buriz

i usually have my yasha then go to my buriza

do Traxex rakky need yasha????

do Traxex really need yasha???

S&Y is good for traxex. but the item is not worth for ts price...

A hero killer, a good farmer and may do well with supporting the main attacker.

My items for Traxex are:
-Power Treads
your a chaser, you know that?! Increased AS and MS are good for you
-Radiance
your slowing your enemies... if you cant attack them then do radiance damage AND it can increase your damage to a whopping 70!!!
-The Butterfly
evasion stacks with radiance and AS increase... also a damage increase
-MKB
yeah, AS and damage = KILL!!!
-Lothar's Edge
WW to backstab or ambush enemies and additional damage and AS!!!
-Hyperstone
ROCKIN' AS!!!

summary of my items:
Treads+Hyperstone+Lothars Edge+Butterfly= more or less105% atkspd

Butterfly+Radiance=120 damage and 33% evasion, will you die???

My friends and I played, I randomed Traxex only with even treads, vanguard, radiance and eaglehorn w/ quarterstaff I was buying butterfly when my friends quit... why??? I got the first blood, no deaths, and a megakill streak...

i agree w/ aura 1st.. but i was leveling frost after every aura and got ulti at 6 and 11 for farming... thats why on level 12, i alredy had a megakill and a radiance on level 8...

Good strat... 7/10...

i know s and y ain't good. just get yasha cause maim won't stack with frost. how bout letting your crow bring radiance??? hehehe

Which build is best? This or the one I use?
Treads, Hand of Midas, Lothars, Butterfly and MKB

i dont agree with your build... only fools dont use S & Y... how could you just ignore maim effect of S & Y??? this guide is just an experimental... although the strategy is quite useful... i dont agree with you...

Nice strat, first time i used it i got 3-0 at lvl 11 ... Not imba but, enough to they left :P

Traxex is a good hero. No doubt. Slow down, ranged damage boost, sliebce, and quick killing of creeps. Still, Traxex vs Anub`Arak. Traxex dies. :)

i tried this strategy and it actually works thank you

I really suggest at least 1 level of Frost arrows early game with orb walking you could chase any hero early game with just one level.

i prefer hyper, travels, and something that gives more bonus health than +6 to srength over wraithbands and treads

perfect strategy. i love it. although, i go for butterfly first and then buriza. and i introduce frost attack a little bit earlier. helps harass and get those lucky hero kills in.

pretty unique strat..but i would start with 2 wraith band,lothars,mkb,butterfly and buriza. i think the best item for her

Replace Wraith Band with MKB if you hav more money.... Anyway, good strategy

horrible skill build

the first thing you should do is max out aura and frost. also put in ulti when you have the chance.

nice items. I use the exact same item build

bad build
>Aura+stats as your early skills = weak early game.
>it must be frost+trueshot
For farmer build>radiance+battle fury
>additional items:lothars edge

lol... e skiill build is totally messed up.. no Frost Arrow?!? tis is wat makes drow ranger so strong... totslly don't like e strat at all... btw, u nid a mkb

good build but i would switch the stats and trueshot..so trueshot,stats,trueshot. only because trueshot gives u more damage and ur ranged friends as well.Its a team game remeber

Ya I respect the fact that you like to devote extra stats to support Drow's Low HP. But I have the feeling that a few bracers would suffice and skipping stats would be a better alternative. Rather get Trueshot and Frost for harrassment and good last hitting. I also tend to get ulti at 10 and 11 for some good farmin mid game.

the tactics was nice and I understood it well. Maybe label some sections.

9/10! Keep it up.

great build i actually use this build and i always go 10-15 kills a game good build. Smart with the frost.

I would get Boots of Travel instead of Power treads, so you can teleport around to farm alot better.

nice but i would get treads, 2 wraith bands, lothars, buriza, butterfly, SnY, then MKB

frost arrows is orb effect and so is S & Y
u cant use frost arrows if ur opponent is maimed or sth.

@ lina inverse

Roflmao im laughing so hard at u saying that only fools dont use SnY.
SnY aint good for drow doestn stack and its not worth the price
i mean the only person i would get it on is sb , and it still aint that effective

Frost arrow, ,silence and markmanship is GOOD, frost arrow good for harrasing with such low mana cost, REALLY good for harrasing melee heroes, perhaps you were referring for "range" heroes? dunno, silence is GOOD for ganking, just cast silence and let teamwork do the rest and markmanship is GOOD, especially for those who had problems in farming, and i usually combined it with MoM, 2 wraithbands + PT + MoM + markmanship = easy gold, so i quite disagree with the skill build, and i think you're too underestimate those skills, its not GREAT but its damned effective

For the item build though, almost same with mine, except for the MoM that i used, and i'll replaced PT with BOT at mid/late game for better movement, and also hyperstone (hyper + MoM + butter + buriza + frost arrows + silence = ouch)

and Lothar + BoT is a good escape and chasing mechanism for Traxex

For the strategies, lack of screenies though, and no details about her silencing abilites (if you used it well, it even can be compared with Nortrom)

So overall, i can only vote 7/10 for it

-Regards-

had anyone try Traxex wit Manta Style?

BUENO ESTE JUEGO ES CHEVERE Y ME ENCANTA JUGAR EN EL GG CLIENT :XD:
Y PUES S Y CHEVERE CLARO APOYO ESTE JUEGO CLARO Y PUES NO SE

After playing this build I havnt lost once yet I change it up a bit on the items but ever so slightly

OMFG!! dude this build is awsome....ive never lost a single 1v1....ive been using it since may....uffff....in 1v1 situations, if ure enemy picks an int with pwerful nukes, make HOD....its the best...it will give u time to make bkb or other items.....let's say ure against zeus with arcane....early game, his lightning will be 100(sumtn like that)...therefore u only get 70 dmg...plus u have an 8 sec. per sec. regen.....MAN U ROCK!!!! (i just try to be flexible with the build....if ure against ints or if u need counter items..) I think wat's awsome is way u distribute stats....ure enmies will be shocked at how much dmg u deal....and frost arrows is so useless early on...

And 1 more thing...harassing with frost isnt so great early game (im still talking about 1v1).....if u have gloves or threads....2 or 3 hits would be pretty devastating...considering u have to wraith bands...and blade of alactrility...

here's wat i make at 1st (this is for dps or stregth heroes/ not nukers):
threads
wraith band
blade of alctrility
spider man shoes (the name slipped my mind but it's used for making wraith band)
1 potion

dont forget to harass....ure dmg is devastating (2or 3 hits)...just try to be ahead....u lose focus and ure screwed...

for nukers:
HOD!!!!
2 spiderman boots...
gloves of haste..
and potion...if there's enuf cash....

harass like a maniac.....1. some int. heroes don't have a decent dmg. 2. there spells wouldn't devastate u. 3 u have sick regen.

look i don't want to sound like a total noob here, but i really want to get some advise for this: if you max out frost arrows and trueshot arrows during early game instead of trueshot+stats or frost arrows+ stats, will it be the end of you? oh and nice strat guide btw, although i usually put a 1 frost arrow @ ealrly game to help in harassing.

you need a satanic for her it is said that she will take a percent of the killed creep WITH the freaking lifesteal item

r u dumb..... u get ice arrows from the begining thats what shes infamous for

nice guide

@Granbull10: Actually, I don't see a point in getting a Satanic. The lifesteal is an orb effect; frost arrows are too. If you activate frosties, then lifesteal goes byebye.

Even if you mean to use it only on creeps, I still don't understand it. Just get a terrasque and you're probably better off.

nice, thats what i do cept, i get the marksmenship when i get to 6 11 and 16.

NICE GUIDE>>>Dominated..because of you!

@Transistor: i disagree with you on the frost issue as i normally go for early ganking and slowing improves my allie's chances of scoring an early hero kill and severely weakening the enemy's forces.

would get butterfly 1st..but its a gud strat

tried it against AIs...GG

No orb effect but i like this build, stats are pretty underrated in Dota and it works

I've been using this guide, and so far my scores have been. 9-0, 5-0, 7-0. This guide is like .. GODLY. Thanks for the tips Transistor.

WOW nice guide.Works very well.But i prefer treads,buriza,butterfly,radienc,buriza
the pwnage item build :D

well done. I play drow all the time, and this strat looks very similar to what i do almost all the time. Good stuff. The stats + aura + bands really does work. I rarely see it./

chain ligthning was good
hahahah

lol..~~

nice guide

Huh!!unusual skill build but it depends on what kind of game and enemy you are facing...in 1 vs. 1 game this guide is good but in 5 vs. 5 you should give your frost and silence earlier than what you thought because it can help you and your teammates to get a kill and escape..but overall its a good guide when it comes to items..try to get MKB first before anything else..because you cant have a kill on your own if dont have a disabling items..your opponent will bring a tele and can escape...

it's hard to say this but.

i don't like your build with the skills but if it works for you then i have no intention for you to change it.

I like this items build and tactics. Only thing i would change is the skills build, following way:
1. Stats
2. Trueshot Aura
3. Stats
4. Trueshot Aura
5. Stats
6. Marksmanship
7. Trueshot Aura
8. Trueshot Aura
9. Frost Arrows
10. Frost Arrows
11. Marksmanship
12. Frost Arrows
13. Frost Arrows
14. Silence
15. Silence
16. Marksmanship
17. Silence
18. Silence
19. - 25. Stats

It is for that Marksmanship incredibly boosts farming and pushing, and Frost Arrows will be on lvl 4 by your lvl 13, what is great, as the Lothar's Edge is finished in the same time and the killing may begin.

well, i am quite surprised with your skill build in early game... I tried out your style... with AI+ as my opponent... it's really bad and a shame that I cannot support my team at first without the frost arrow but despite that I can see the result, faster life regen(drow really need this)... I think that this skill build is useful if your other team can manage the game without getting feed, but why not markmanship at lvl 6? drow is very supportive in early game... your item build is as same as mine but i prefer 2 butterfly, buriza, lothar, BoT, and Kelen's Dagger(just in case). I haven't tried this method in a real human vs human game... but it's not that bad...

I would add MoM into ure strat..then it would be sweet

wow i just finished playing it vs. an insane computer and pawned it! ahhaha
cool build up for me....

i dont agree with skill build but awesome item build and stratergy thx 4 the help =)

wow

Buriza and mkb are both good . It depends on the heroes you use. If you're using a hero that has low dmg, why would you need buriza first , x2.25, its still low. mkb helps to increase your damage, but if your damage is above 200+, buriza would help more first. But, both are good together.

shoukd you use forst arrows when attacking heros????????????????????????????
does it do less damge then a normal arrow??

great strat
but you can also choose bracers if you face nukers

well....i thought Buriza would be regarded as one of the most common items for traxex, what with her dmage and pretty nice attackspeed, Buriza sure hurts and Lothar's Edge is better then blink for she doesen have ne aoe stun toi initiate ganks with blink and the lothars gives her a nice agi boost. pretty much how i play traxex except i get 1 point of cold arrows for harassing do that if i attack enemy with cold arrow, his creeps wont auto target me. and its got 0 cd at lvl 1 neway. Nice strategies.

nice strat....here is my build

Power treads
butterfly
MKB
Buriza
HoT
Lothars/dagger/SATANIC

thats the way i play it..

why is it to late for you to get the frost arrow

frost arrow is my way of harrasing my enemy in lane...

by the way that was a good strat..i want to try that someday...9/10

wah i beyond godlike my last 3 games using ur guide,
thanks man, NOT

its a very good tutorial, but if u use Boots of travel and Frost arrows the enemy cannot run away from you :P

first giude i agree with and i susally dont good job man
realisitc and affordable

1 suggestion: u may need some hp
in this case possibly switch buriza with sny
but gj man

PLS GO SUCK MY BOLLS COZ UR GUIDE SUCK !! PLS MEET ME TONIGHT TO SUCK IT DAMM HARD HARD !!!! I WILL BE WAITING !! WOOT !!

good strategy i agree with aura over arrows but go aura, arrows, aura ,arrows instead of stats. but i get 2 wraith, then power treads, loath, mkb, butrfly or bdk.

WAT's the item build if ur on a 1on1 game?! :P

nice strategy, I shall try it too :)

thanks ,a deadly combination

when i read this strategy...im so
and i used the skill built i'ts amazing...thx

BAD GUIDE. REALLY BAD. frost arrows are so good for harrassing in lane and great for killing at early lvls with the help of a teamate.
Butterfly definitly before buriza. THe critical is a waste of moeny without Damage and attack speed. Change buriza to MKB if you think Butterfly is hard to farm for.

that is a crap strategy silence is the most over powered ability in the entire game!!

damn...amf gling^^

I always obtain 2 Butterflies before concentrating on an assault or anything....
I think buriza is unnecesary because with 2 butterflies, you get +60%attck speed, +60% evasion, and 120 damage.

I also don't agree about the lothar's edge....
Drow needs to boost her evasion and damage ASAP to obtain triple kills against nukes....

Yes lol, rather unusual build but good job with the items, keep up your work

its pretty ok but at late game sell ure wraith for a monkey king and mayb get a dmg item

S&Y is not good cuz u already have slow right? and i still thinl marksmanship is worth the points asap but good guide

MmMmMmMm no Frost Arrows? Frost Arrows is what makes Drow Ranger Drow Ranger. guide is okay, a little short, 8/10

i agree with DrowRangerTraxex
frost arrows is wat makes her special especialy in the new versions where they changed her marksmanship to +30 agility,other heroes(except those with a slow skill)would have to buy an eye of skadi to get the same effect.

Anyway for me not really the best guide8/10

rofl lawl ffs dont ever skill aura startgame, it does like +10max + damage ;/ rather get stats + frost and skill silence once just to interupt channeling spells
(etc. epicenter,freezing field, black hole)and besides, 3 secs silence is enough. btw, fine item build, just try mjollnir out :) it rox0r!

shittiest skill build i've seen in a while

ATleast put silence on lvl 1 first then max out the aura and frost arrow i agree but get a mkb and if u want another dmg item but dont get a life steal or any other orb effect for that matter cause the ice arrow is good enough ane drow is a awsome hero unless u vs some who can track u like sb or gondor or anyone with wards or gem cause then u know she dead

not bad of a strategy

Great guide! I haven't even used this character and when i follower ur guide i got 21 kills!

I don't like ur guide why don't u get markmanship on lvl six don't u know it adds 10 damage...
