Huskar The Emo Kid

Even if the game stretches long. You won't be able to farm a assualt and skadi and your other expensive stuff

ITS An ok strategy but the only thing i disagree is the burning spear u kinda need the burning spear. also can u tell me if u get money when u get an assist

I agree with coconut warrior. Its not a bad strategy but whenever i play huskar, burning spear is a skill that is incredibly helpful.

hmmm....if I remember correctly this did not get the vote from me. Nevertheless I only have this to say:

I do not like stacking the Lifesteal orb with autocastable orb effects, and moreover, I object to neglecting an autocastable orb effect skill because all of them have proven to be very useful. Burning Spears exist for Huskar for a good reason - to give him a reliable powerful source of damage that is lacking for many strength heroes.

(Continued)

Putting the Lifesteal orb on Huskar means he cannot do the "orb-walking" anymore - that takes away the excellent aspect of Huskar. Moreover the usefulness of B Spears is buffed because now nobody can use Kelen Dagger to blink away.

Items are okay enough but items alone do not make the hero. It is unnecessary to level up B Blood so early - Huskar does not need to take damage to have damage, Spears can do it. Few heroes tank damage early game anyway.

This is not the most viable Huskar strategy.

But don't be offended - I'm offering my opinions without any prejudice.

it's an alright strategy The lifesteal I dont agree on myself. Burning spear is important due to it's stackablity and pwnage of weak hp'd hero's at the same time his stat's arent enough to support his heal as well as it would be later on in the game. level Heal once and just level up burning spear to level 3 add Bersker blood and ulti and thats a pretty even out leveling build

This is my exact build...except for the armlet i rush for satanic, skadi. Your guide lacks when and how armlet synergizes with Huskar...but GG (good guide) 9/10

Creepy how this uses the exact itembuild I get...

@ caspian = Berserker's Blood gives you the damage of a Burning Spear plus attack speed; and keeping oneself that low improves the power of Vitality and you will receive less damage from Lifebreak. Getting Satanic and Skadi and utilising both more so than any other hero outweighs Burning Spears.

Compares to Greedy's Huskar... nearly the same, his is three times as long and has tactics, but yours has screenies.

Continued...

i like the build. those are also the items that i will use on him. but as what the others commented, you should upgrade BS earlier. It is also viable with this build. you just have to select an orb in the appropriate timing.
I suggest use BS when you have high HP. and use lifesteal when you need to regain your hp. Definitely you cannot use BS al the time, so its time to switch to another orb.

IMO, theres not actually a lot in here. Take out the screenies and this guide is really about as long as older and extremely short ones. You need some more guide in addition to the screenies (which I will add don't really show that much).

I do know for a fact that this strategy works.
I really just can't look at this without automatically comparing it to the other Huskar guide... its good, you put effort in, but it needs more work. 9/10.

i still cant understand why most guides cut out burning spear, when its a good source of DPS

this is simply Greedygood's strategy but shorter and not better. but yes, i love burning spear that the fact they owns. tell me why am i wrong. BS actually is better than blood early, and you dont need to get hit till 40%hp to use it

6/10

btw, call me noob ,but i get meka+armlet for huskar

i usually use burning spear...
but your guide is great...
btw, add me in yahoo: paolo_ejercito_69@yahoo.com...
need to ask you some wueestions...
thanks...
rate it 9/10

i get spear to harass early then move onto blood, in the end there is the same result but i agree skadi + satanic is the way to go.

only 2 levels of spear tho, its enough to harass

Burning Spears is a very good harrasing skill and I dont think you should leave it out. It has 0 cooldown so you can get 1st Blood at an early level and make your opponent go back to the fountain.

Burning Spear is a great skill since ts damages stack...I dunno bout u man..

@ counter_force(x)
you noob!!! getting meka + armlet...i do tat build oso...does tat make me a noob too??? ha2
since huskar is not dependent on mana, y not giv it meka. Plus, it gives an instant boost to hp, plus benefit aura 2 ur allies.
Aft tat i gt AC...(previously, i wud gt dagger 4 myself...until evytin changed in 6.50, n der goes my fav item)
reaver + skadi??? reaver?? i might consider...but skadi again??
ur bounty could be use for better purposes.......

mayb techies with lvl 4 suicede should b added 2 ur worst enemy also ^^ lol

mayb techies with lvl 4 suicede should b added 2 ur worst enemy also ^^ lol

sry double post up der...accidentally click on it...ur item section is lacking...overall fairly good guide. pls edit a litle b4 i rate k 7/10 at the time being.

mek is very good ,you benefit fro everything it give;

armor, regen ,stats and its cheap. IMO, it is situationally better than vanguard, 70% of the time

and oh, upclose of the NS scene shocks me, guess he builds NS without fear and void

Were you like playing against AI? Never heard of a NS which actually loses to huskar. And since this is a new guide, I doubt you can have much excuses for excluding bs outta your skill build. True. The damage sucks. It's still extremely useful for it's dps. Great thing is that in the new dota versions, blink dagger won't work if you're attacked in the last 3 seconds. That means they can't blink away. So bs doubles as a disable at the same time. You need a bit more explanation in your strategy.

Great effort though. Your screenshots don't help very much, but well... effort's there. 7/10

Burning Spear works well with Berseker's Blood. Easy kill for Huskar.

Your guide never explained how to use lifebreak which should be used as an initiator.

Another thing that I believe is that burning spears will benefit you alot more than stat bonuses even if you are using this build. Huskar doesn't need an orb like skadi his lifebreak will allow you to chase and the huge in bonuses from skadi is just wasted. Burning spears gives you alot of DPS which stats could never make up for.

yes as of what ~fwii said

I am just going to ignore all Burning Spear related comments, I could care less.
Relevant comments... yes, there are no Lifebreak tactics in here...

nah, i still think bersaker is a lot better than BS, and stats help a lot as well, thoughBs is good early game, it s pratically useless late game, not only that, there are some idoits who thinks they can haress him early game and get away with it, i almost get first blood when that happens XD

only main problem i see here is this is a heck like greedy guide, though greedy is undenibaly better, 8/10

actually BS is a great skill all along if youre good with it. for slow, id rather rely on life break

7/10 because,
why will u use the satanic with skadi? are u nuts? skadi is really expensive and so do satanics are LOL ur a nub and better use 1st skill and 2nd skill first before the 3rd noob

wow, flaming is fun?

@cfx LOL xD

hmm.. yeah you did miss out on how to use life break. 5 secs. slow is enough to get a kill with BS tho.
and this guide is pretty much similar to Greedygood's guide. lmao! its only got screenies :P

you might wanna update this. :D

*not voting for now*

We have the same build, nice guide.

This guide looks eerily familiar, even with the same rating...

@Caspian:

I must say I remain unconvinced. I still don't see the benefit of putting more than one skill point into Spears. The synergy with BB/LB/IV is great, but Spears early game doesn't fit into that. It also doesn't fit into late game...Skadi will ensure you'll get one or two more hits that will more than out-damage Spears' burn. It's also a great disable for your team.

i like it. it is pretty much waht i do. i get boots, then armlet, then HoD, then finish treads, since i get BB and IV so i have BB to give me ias. i totally agree with everyone. spear is a great source of dps. but i find that satanic is so much better. i used to get spear cuz i get lot's of kill's w/ it from the dot. but mid game-late you need the life leech. ive been able to fight someone w/ me at 60% hp ult then armlet then vitality and life steal saves me so many times i think it is better

Like everyone i do disagree with the burning spear! I really think that its important early-late.
My normal build for this hero includes
1)buy boots
2)stout shield and head to lane
3)farm up vanguard
4)2 Bracers
5)rush for a heart
6)and then a buriza
7)from there my main build is complete! now for optional items.
Assault curitass, 2 more hearts, Linken sphere, I would go for the hearts though XD

I don't really like getting the orb effects on Huskar, his spears do well enough. Plus theres really no need for skadi because his ult slows them way better than skadi would.

Ok, the lifesteal Huskar build... Very good, I'd personally scratch the Armlet, but it is YOUR guide, (and I know it works), so it's ok...
Well, it's a nice guide, on the items... However, the game play part is lacking imo... Your strat is basically early game all over to the late game section... You...farming...
You don't really explain what huskar should be doing mid game except for farming, and, frankly, you're losing on the fun of him... That's the time to kill dude...
Continued...

i love burning spears...when enemy get them. They are usually very very easy victims.

You are a gank initiator to the extreme... The Life Break ENSURES a kill, just go with an ally, come up from behind trees and life break... Preferably a tank or something, because it will deal more damage...
And late game, you should stick to your team, not "distract" while your team pushes... You'll get yourself killed, and then your team will follow... If you are with your team, and help them, it will be a lot more effective...
6/10

(oh and, Huskar is the Nightmare of NS.. just try and hunt)

Similar to the other Huskar guide except the items lol. Not bad but you'll never be able to farm a EoS, Assault,and Heart without either HoM or superb farming skills. You should add bracers to that build or else you're food early game. Besides that, they provide all-around stats and give you enough mana to use Inner Vitality often without having to use Clarity Potions. But it's your build so w/e lol.

That Riki must of been a noob lol! GJ at killing him, he deserved it

not bad: 7/10

i like its burning spears...n i dun like to buy orb effects items for him..juz buy 2 HOT

thank you very much for this strat.
I never really know how to skill this. but this wil help.

I think ure wrong. Why not burning spears?? If there is some skill.. there simply is usage for it! And Burning spears has GOOD USAGE IMO! Especially stacking harras early is heavily imba to your enemies.. more usefull than Berseker's Blood which is better to take AFTER spears and vitality (both on 4 levels).

And what I just cannot understand is Skadi ? Wtf why Skadi .. i didnt try it .. true ..but is simply dont understand.

Nice guide i really liked the clips.Too be succesful u just need half hp and then when u fight inner vitality to keep the hp up! I love playing huskar!

nice one!

nice one!

expensive dude but over all nice... but wont ur team ates cuss at u for getting skadi and sattanix, btw is buring spear an orb effect?

Skadi is to help you not waste Life Break... When enemies start becoming tougher, those 5 seconds aren't going to be enough... And you'll be wasting your ultimate... That's where Skadi comes in.. 20% slow plus Life Break, is pretty much a dead hero...
And Burning Spears is an Orb, and it overrides every other one... So, if you plan on getting it, don't get orb effects...

Liked the other one much better.

well good strat but though you understood how to put photos why didnt you put more of them anyway thats a nice one as a beginning keep it up me da fist one to write comment hehehe

i really think that u should get the burning spear n juz discard Satanic..
instead, why don't u buy 2 or even 3 tarrasque??
it'll help u to regen ur HP plus gives u more str and of course emphasize the healing ability of inner vitality..^^

i thing that it does compensate the lifecost caused by burning spear..^^

oh...
and i rather build this hero as a tank..
not hero killer..

wow...ur such a noob
life leech is okay with
husk but that isn't the
best DPS for him....
noob

yea, this is a pretty good guide
i go lifesteal crazy like you have here
but i use burning spears early game and i start off by getting two bracers and a vangaurd before i get lifesteal

err... you seriously needa improve on this strat. No ideas whatsoever on how to hero kill. and zero explanations on how to use huskar's ulti

I don't agree with your skill build.Burning spear is needed for harass and early game kills.But anyway, nice item build,same as mine.

7/10

@greedy
i suggest you try BS more than 3-5 times. there was actually a thread in DA that says BS is imba with all other huskar's skills. i didnt like it much early since it gives no slow, but its really nice once you get life break

to all who are saying huskar is da only range str hero well he's not, his an agi hero

@62
buy yourself a spectacle, and read

Str: 18 + 2.4 | Agi: 20 + 2.4 | Int: 18 + 1.5
@63 well look whats higher str or agi?

@Counter_Force[X]
ok ok your right i look at the heroes section 4 str heroes.i'm wrong wrong your right always

@Counter_Force:

1)
Huskar - Sacred Warrior

Range: 350 | Move Speed: 300
Primary: STR

The fact that you agree with #62 reduces your credibility.

2) BS is only good for a short term game. I actually state as much in my Mek build on my own guide. Long term, BS, and LifeBreak, simply isn't enough to kill high level heroes.

3) With BB, you will kill within 5 seconds of Lifebreak early-mid game, with or without BS. As stated, late game, you won't kill jack with it.

nice build HOWEVER...
i suggest you take one level of Burning Spear at level one for orb walking.
Herassing without creeps atticking you is a big deal for just 1 "skill waste".

@myself and Counter_force:

Oops, scratch my #1. Sorry, didn't see who posted #65.

dont let the game progresses then. huskar is no late gamer with his state of needing to be 40% hp to be greatly effective

instead of satanic better buy another HoT

All these Pro-Spears comments are identical to the ones in Greedy's guide and from the same people. Guess where to shove 'em please. That is all. No need to repeat what we already heard... or counter them with the same arguments...
I have spoken.

Saying that burning spears will lose it's effectiveness later on doesn't mean you shouldn't learn it or max it out. A Gondar doesn't skip toss just because it loses effectiveness late game. He needs to own early too and 2 levels of BS or no levels of BS won't be enough. A level 4 BS deals 60 damage per second after 5 stacks which isn't hard to do. By Lvl 7 not many heroes can compete with that kind of DPS if you max out BS first.
To be continued

Even at late game +60 DPS is still pretty good, much better than frost attack or lifesteal. Lifesteal isn't needed, kill the opponent fast and you won't need it. In team battles lifesteal doesn't help your survivability much. Disables and focus fire will kill you just as fast. You can alternate frost and BS by manually casting BS and alternating it with normal attacks. Lifebreak is already a good slow to begin with so why not use lifebreak instead of making a skadi?

i mas burnin' spear at early game to nuke'em all. didnt like it sorry

I totally agree with fwii..
its big nonsense for me .. u like to buy a diffusal blade for Brood Too?? or do u like lifeleech for magina? almost the same thing as getting skadi and satanic instead of BS. If u used BS sometime u should know that when u stack it to the full it damages enemies pretty bad early giving u several kills EARLY. Remember good early game strat and item building.. will make u great latelly.
And... wasn't this strat supposed to be ''an dps hero killer oriented Huskar'' ?

Well, the fact is, that unlike Gondar (as your example), Huskar doesn't need BS to own early... Early on, the extra damage and ASPD BB gives you is overkill against ANY hero without an escape skill...
The only real advantage I see on Burning Spears early on is that you're able to harass... melee heroes... Everything else will still over harass you, spears or not... And by lvl 7, the DPS given by lvl 4 BB is insane...

Why is everyone debating BB and BS so fiercely for early game? If your goal is early game dps then just get both. You can do just fine early game without inner vitality.

Nice man

@raxxar
not true. you need to be under 70%hp to use most of BB,making you a potentially aimed guy, but not BS. BB is a good skill but IMO, it suits mid game more, or just skip vitality like the dude said above me

i dominate every hero with dis inventory:
1.2 bracers
2.power treads(str)
3.HoT
4.Butterfly
your owned!!!!!!

i feel that EoS INT bonus is wasted on huskar who has only 1 activatable skill, but suits you

Worse enemy, but also my personal favorite ally. Necro + Huskar = 1 kill every 80 seconds. I played with a friend that way, and Centaur left after being victim of this strategy 3 times in a row.
10/10. Good job

i like the strat, only if dps is of the question, my item build for huskar is :
BoT,
Cuirass,
Skadi,
Satanic,
Buriza,
Tarrasque.

The buriza satanic and skadi stacks in the same hit, and i have about 2500++ life.

wat du yu think?

@Raxxar

Without BS you won't be able to attack enemy heroes without triggering creep agrro and staying in low health to make the most of BB will only leave you vulnerable to nukes. I can't imagine a huskar owning early without BS.

Your guide skipes dmg items, which i belive it sucks. He NEEDS buriza, needs it, cuz without it, he cant do s*it, so skip armlet, cuz it's not so helpfull,and instead buy hand of midas.

@fwii:

Huskar cannot own in many lane scenarios early game. Although BS can harass, you'll find it much harder to do than with Viper or etc. Although the way the animation for BS makes it much, much easier to harass, the inferior range and the fact that it hurts Huskar as well makes him vulnerable to all but melee heroes, preferably those without nukes, which is a very small list.

i agree with caspian,,nice guide though..

@Greedygood

Huskar has above average lane control. Who says Huskar can't take on Viper? Huskar can take on Viper with BS before Viper reaches level 5. After that point you'll problably out level him. How would skipping BS make things easier?

I really think BURNING SPEAR is a must! It is a great harassment skill and you use ORBS for it. Anyways here is my recent build:(ALL STR EARLY)
1.Buy 2 bracers(sell), POT, BKB, HOT, CUIRASS, HOT,Last Item depends on U(I go 4 Roshan or HOT).
2.(skills)IV/2BS/IV/LB/IV/BB/IV/BB/LB/BB/2BB/Stats/lB/Stats
3.(killing tips) Don't mind casting BS early it will damned youre opponents. If he dare confront you, fire away with BS and w8 till ur life gets 50% below and cast IV and if he runs LB him.

BURNING SPEAR CAN OWN INT AND AGI HERO LVL 1 + ORB WALK I DO THAT MANY TIMES WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY??? BAD BAD AND I HATE EMO :) AND MY BUILD

1.POT
2.BKB(HEAL+BKB+LIFE BREAK(FREE SLOW-WHILE HEALING NO COST AT ALL)
3.HoT(LIFE BREAK=PAIN)
4.Buriza(BERSERKERS BLOOD)
5.Curirass(SPEED)
GG

burning spear owns!

Hmmmm....nice strat....I want to try armlet on huskar cause i usually make for him skardi first....i ll see

Never seen or heard a Huskar killing a Balanar... That's just strange, what AI version were you playing with... Sorry but this guide really sucks... You didn't explain how to use your ultimate and how the armlet of mordigan works... Item build is also atrocious... Very expensive for nothing... Giving this guide 1/10

Well I can't agree more with this strategy. I use this strategy to a Tee, and it always wins out even if you start out ruff, burning spear is good but you do need the life steal late game becuase your going to be fighting 2 or 3 heros and you can't tank them without the lifesteal, satanic and regen you can rally 3 hero no problem aslong as there isn't more than one stuner at a time. 10/10

I'm surprised you didn't mention MoM for Huskar.
Anyway 7/10, mostly for effort.

what do you think about changing the boots of travel whyt a cranium basher? i tried your setup a few min a go and it was realy nice

what do you think about changing the boots of travel whyt a cranium basher? i tried your setup a few min a go and it was realy nice

@ a*kiichi = you clearly have no idea what you're doing. Lessee, Lifebreak does damage equal to 40% of THEIR CURRENT HP to them, and equal to x% of YOUR CURRENT HP to you. Therefore, getting a Heart just wallops YOU more when Lifebreaking. Yes pain, pain for Huskar.
And then... if you hate emos, what would you get Burning Spears for? They're far more emo than Berserker's Blood.
And finally - Berserker's Blood and Buriza make absolutely no sense. What on earth is your point?
Continued...

...continued...
Everyone who thinks Burning Spear early is better than Berserker's Blood early, and that Burning Spear late is better than Lifesteal-Frost late - you obviously haven't tried it.
Unfortunately this guide lacks the explantions of all these things. I recommend reading, or in some cases re-reading, Greedy's Huskar guide.

wow..just want to comment to those who says burning spear is badly needed....

ok ok...me too i though it was one great harrasing skill...but after i tried this strategy..it was really correct...you wont even need it to kill...

i even took on a centaur..at lvl8(both of us) 1on1 without any help


and you could farm for all those items...but i'dd prefer MKb radder than heart.coz enemies would simply teleport away when ever i anked them...


i got... 33-0 kills...when i used this srat..no joke

ummm this is good for me because when i use huskar i never use fire arrow xD so ty but i think u set the item build a little expensive almost no one could farm that if anyone at all

i see no reason not to put 1 point in at level 10 and one at 15

late game spears are useless

thanks to all for commenting my guide rather you like it or not, I understand a lot of people dislike the whole not-getting-BS thing but the ias from bersekr blood compliments not only the satanic's life steal but it covers for AoM's life drain.

Burning Spear IS good for early game. But I can guarantee it will be useless vs your enemies mid to late game

Greedygood's strategy was awesome. But I wanted to make this strategy guide because of AoM. And I did not like the strategy of meck for huskr

heres what i have to say about BS

own early, = better mid and late. you can heavily harass someone with BS, i dont see why would you ever skip it. it is his lane control ability and it allows you to get somewhat sure kill once you get level 6, same scenarion as of viper when he gets viper strike. BB is wayy to demanding to be useful. nukers will come for you, DPS will come to you and once you get disabled, its bye2

thanks to all for commenting my guide rather you like it or not, I understand a lot of people dislike the whole not-getting-BS thing but the ias from bersekr blood compliments not only the satanic's life steal but it covers for AoM's life drain.

arg sorry for triple post, computer whackin out

also the inventory i have listed last with all the expensive items are because just incase the game does stretches on... those are some of the items you might wanna think about getting.

I'll just remind you now (before someone else does) that the meka in Greedy's strat was an optional build rather than the main one.

Now... more multi-cursed anti-Burning Spear reasoning. Berserker's Blood gives you the same damage on an attack, plus attack speed. It does not cost additional HP. When you Lifebreak, you cut down your hp, and your Blood is maxed. Alternatively, with Spears instead, you Lifebreak then demolish what little health you have left even faster than THEY do.

Continued...

And THEN, its mid game, and two things happen:
a) Spear becomes useless as some have said.
b) You get your hands on Helm of the Dominator.
No Spears please. Try it.

yeah burning spear is much better early gmae than inner vitality if it stacks well it acts like axes battle hunger which is awesome.HELPS U FARM HEROES EARLY GAME

this is quite good.

but in my opinion, life break should be followed up by a really high stacking damage. so, maxing out burning spear is not a bad idea. as soon as the damage stacking is enough, change your orb effect into lifesteal so that you will regain some hp you lost.

somehow your lifesteal effect won't be beneficial though, it won't give you back your hp that much. it's getting confusing for you. so i really prefer maxing out burning spear

You would see what he meant if he actually explained the tactics involved here...
@ creator = put in tactics or I will request to change my rating from 10 to 6, it needs tactics and I only understand because I already use the build.

Turn on Armlet, run in on 80% or something, Lifebreak, they're on 60% you're on 60% (or similar), you have full Blood and Armlet on. Between Treads, a coupla Bracers, HotD, Armlet, and Blood, you deal about 250 a hit.
Continued...

Between Armlet, Treads, and Blood, you have a huge amount of attack speed. Between Vitality and your Lifesteal, you gain about 100hp a second. If your hp gets any lower, you'll get even more hp back from Vitality.
Oh and this is around lvl16. Not lvl25, really low. Your items only cost you 7k gold or so. This is pre-Satanic and pre-Skadi.

right, this is what i dun understand.

hopefully he'll update a tactic soon.

sieg heil adolf hitler

does the skadi and the flame spikes work together?

Huskar doesnt need to own early on? Lol, all the enemy has to do is to get a nice little item called Lothar's edge and i'd like to see what huskar's 'overkill' skills can do

this guide is no different to the other Haskar guide. all you did is add a new item build everything else is pretty much the same to the other guides

=/ this strategys alot like greedygoods strategy and doesn't really explain the giant advantages of your ultimate ... plus, burning spears is a great early on harrassing skill, fb everygame because it stacks, but i see the effort in this strategy..7/10

Update it and explain more of his synergys and especially his ulti because u didnt say ANY WORD about it.
Also in your screenshots u say u owned nightstalker but u didnt do that all by yourself. Centaur Warchief stunned him first for you as i can see and it does also a huge damage.
...
...
...

skadi?! hmm.... i think that's too over rated..

k... good guide for the most part.
Except he is not emo! he is just brutal

and
for those of you who use burning spears.. get a heart. perfect item. But if you dont. Satanic all the way. Then get the rest of the items. another heart i'd say if you dont use the spears.
or skadi would work nice with satanic if you use them
(in my opinion)

Nice strat and to all those who think bs orb is better than lifesteal + berseker's blood . .just try it out atleast .It owns : the bonus dps along with ur lifesteal and heal will make u very hard to kill unless they have perma disables . .well in that case teamwork counts more.I have actually played huskar this way unlike so many others who are commenting here and he really is unstoppable . Only thing is i would not make mordiggan but go straight for skadi or radiance .

Great strategy, 10/10, exactly how I play huskar. I would perhaps add a skill point of b spears to get the ability to orbwalk

I used the build as was suggested by you ( sort off :P ) max out berserkers blood 1st i stayed on 70-80% ( played with quiet a lot of nukers ) and didnt get back to my lane untill i had farmed up 2.5k about lvl 8-9 then i started jungling and defending waves getting my EOS on lvl 14 by about lvl 18 i got my HOT and lifesteal wasnt really necessary since the only one who had quiet high dmg was riki but the vitality would never get me under 40% Final build : 2 Bracer PT (STR) EOS HOT Linkens

nice strat dude!!! i lke it!!

Lifesteal on huskar is the worst thing to get. Skadi is even worse, why get a 7k skadi when you already have a good ult with a low cooldown? Huskar just needs HP and Armor with a bit of attack speed. Get an SnY, Threads, Assault Cuirass, Buriza, and 2 Hearts. GG. Lifesteal is not needed on Huskar, that is why he has his heal. armlet of mordiggan is an okay item but he looses a lot of HP so maybe getting a heart before it would be good enough.

I tried this strat tonight and had the best game of my life. At first i thought it wasn't good because of the spear thing, but this strat works great. Thanx for this strat!!!

yeah... I'm also using the same build.

the problem is yes EoS-satanic is better but for the cost? its unbearably hard even with midas. and for a hero that is meant to own mostly mid and early, leaving spears as main DPS source isnt practical

look good . I am posting a new hero soon. I wait your comments

@~fwii:

Polite and articulate as always...I only wish others with dissenting opinions could be as civil...

Anyway, I meant to say that Huskar's new casting animation and range makes it much easier to harass...it used to be that enemies that walked out of the 350 range would cause Huskar to proceed fully with the attack animation, only to not throw a spear...very very annoying...continued...

...But, Viper and Drow not only have an orb, but a crippling slow as well, which gives them a potential kill. Huskar even if he orb-walks will more than likely only be able to harass without the final blow. Spears also drain his life, making Huskar more suceptible to nukes. What exactly is your early-game skill build? BB and BS? Early-item build? 10 tangoes and a RoR?

nice going!

dude nice build but dont u think its really expensive i mean its ok till satanic etc but EoS and Assault is a bit too much dont u think???

spears doesnt drain as much as BB does, it mostly takes about 9hp or so, since its magical anyway

the use of burning spears is optional and depends on what hero is on your lane.If he is a nuker,spellcaster or strong damager that can easily outdamage you and out-dps you do not use it.but on heroes like jarakhal and such u have the advantage when u have BS but u dont necessarily have to maxed it.

@Greedygood

I get 2 sets tangooes and mass Gauntlets and my skill build is BS + BB. I don't see the point in getting Vitality early game, you won't really need it since you already have tangooes anyway. Unlike Viper Huskar is blessed with a 0 cooldown orb at level 1 making him able to walk earlier. Burning spears can finish off the enemy since they can still deal some damage for 6 seconds. BTW I'm glad they fixed the casting animation problem it was very annoying.

as what ~fwii said
the old cast animation problem was when huskar wanted to throw a spear(orb walked), the animation acme out but no spears right?

@fwii:

That was the main reason I originally gave up on BS. Admittedly, it's a lot more viable now, but I'll still contend it's a lot harder for Huskar to own than with Viper or Drow. If those two wanted to, they could deny even the opportunity to run, whereas Huskar with his inferior range and lack of slow would be able to inflict good damage, but land that killing blow a lot less often. So my experience has been. Finally, I still say that BS is more or less useless late game.

3 Things:

1) @Counter_force: Yes.

2) I almost put one rank into BS out of habit, but no more than that. It's not bad early game against certain (i.e., weak melee) lane combos.

3) BS is bad late game compared to other orbs. Impetus, and especially Arcane orb, outclass other orbs in sheer damage. Huskar's is very weak in comparison, and personally (beating a dead horse) I opt for more useful orbs like Skadi/Satanic. If Skadi could stack with BS, great, but it only can with Satanic.

isnt EoS an orb effect? does it stack with satanic?

Lifesteal and EoS can be together...
wen u used it u have lifesteal and frost attack it works...

what does IMO mean? and what is stacking(referring 2 BS)?
BTW gud effort

The DPS on spears is very good, and the fact it hurts your opponent even if you're not attacking them is VERY useful at all times in the game.

When & if the target decides to run, if you have burning spears, it'll be too late. The burning spears will kill 'im as he runs. IMO, Burning Spears are indispensable early game. And with the item build you have, you're going to need some stopping power so you can kill heroes. 6/10

Lifebreak and Skadi is plenty of stopping power if you ask me...
Skadi-Satanic question - Satanic is an orb, Skadi MELEE is an orb, Skadi RANGE is NOT an orb. Therefore, Satanic stacks with Skadi RANGE. Spear doesn't work with either.

nice work camindar i like this guide...

I hate your skill build, If I were you I will get Burning spear Early and get inner vitaly mid-game, just buy Perseverance or two ring of regeneration..You don't need lifesteal, just buy Burrizza-Do Kyanon!!

^ mana regen is pretty much wasted. and what are you gonna form with pers anyway? you trash kid, you really do

not bad ill try it later..!tnx ^_^

BS a) Delays stats which make IV stronger.
b) Bad synergy with ulti, first you drop 40% hp then you deplete more by using BS.
c) Range too short to harrass effectively early game against a good player.

As far as I see it, everyone is assuming they are playing against noobs who will let them harrass, and not harrass back, or just stay out of Huskar's way.

Also please stop saying I killed so and so character. Any character can kill any character, it's the beauty of dota.

cont...

With your guide, as has already been stated, it's too similar to Greedy's guide, and not detailed enough.

I don't agree with AoM. It doesn't add any stats and early on huskar needs the stats for IV. It also delays Skadi which is needed mid game when characters can survive your ulti's slow.

I'd also get Skadi before HoD as stats are better than lifesteal as they not only boost IV, but also give IAS, better regen and hp, more mana for IV.

@post above
IV gets better the ore hp you lose, your statement is nothing

causes you to lose more hp? IV settles that, and hp is not even much

range too short? then how are you going to harass without it? you're gonna lure creeps FYI

none of your reasonings to delay BS is acceptable

MavsWorld is right that it synergizes poorly with the ultimate. Spears' main use is early on and IV isn't as good at that stage.

AoM gives you +25 Str +40 damage and +25% attack speed, when turned on. At the cost of 30 hp per second, which you mostly gain back from lifesteal with your additional damage and attack speed, and your additional boost to IV from the bogus Str.

Why am I considering posting a Huskar replay about why I am right lol.

@MavsWorld
The damage you deal to yourself does not compare to the damage you will deal and if the opponent does try to fight back he'll only trigger creep aggro thus making him take more damage. BS on the other hand won't trigger creep aggro. Having inner vitality doesn't give you good lane control, a Mortred with 6 ring of healths will still feed badly in a good lane, Huskar should harass and keep his opponents back, that's how he achieves good lane control.

1 out of 10 first huskar is no emo if he was emo he would only kill him self and 2 you don't need an eye of Skadi or a Satanic the Assault Cuirass is a nice touch tho and that is all for now

CHANGE PLACES!!!!!

@ Fwii: I have never had problems harrassing without BS. With BB it doesn't matter if you get hit by creeps. If the enemy attacks back he draws your creeps onto him, and losing a little hp isn't that important as it just makes you attack faster.

IV isn't effective enough early game to make up for the damage you and the enemy are inflicting on yourself.

@ Shimmra

Just tested out AoM. It works really well, and lets you farm quicker, so I retract my previous statement.
Post vid :) .

"i hardly have difficulty using BB to harass"
well i do, zeus keeps hunting me. the problem with skadi+satanic is mainly hard to farm and kills much of early game and mid. neglecting BS as main DPS source is not something i do. a stack of BS is better than relic

i dont get it because once gotten mask of dominate you can master burning spear using the life steal on mechanics and inner vitality.
that will heal him once you are dying though i agree with the bad enemies but not skadi,cuirass and armlet.
well you cant disagree with someone who already made it.
thanks for atleast the nukers!
well see ya
better on next time i hope??????

for burning spear, you put "you can use it on your opponents to save them from ganks too",

you mean allies right?

I can never figure out how to use this hero. He's probably the only hero I have no freakin clue how to use. Even when I cast inner vitality on myself, I still die. Ahhhh gosh. And lookie at your build! All you had was a helm and threads. It doesnt even add to your str stat and yet you survived NS? That's really odd

I got most of these items... ages ago... and the game ended up in a 1v1, I was against Nightstalker, who was at least as tank as I was due to items etc, and it was night, and he had bashers. Permabash Nighstalker, at night, 1v1. This build beat that.

Like this strategy.........has good explanation on how to play. However the late game items like assault and skadi seem quite unlikely. 8.5/10

@CaminDaR:

Are you going to update your guide on how to use life break? Because honestly, I've no freakin clue whatsoever as to how to use this emo kid

when huskar came out, he became my favorite new hero, due to the fact that his advantage is others' hell...

@double0seven

here in the philippines, you CAN actually buy a cuirass, a skadi and a satanic in one game... not -rich, greedisgood or even -wtf, just fair game...

and the new item AoM just made huskar more killer...

and i dont usually consider BS that useful... id rather get a AoM-Satanic combo to maintain my Hp to about 49-50%... and i usually get BB before vitality...

N1C3!

dude wtf i thought u couldn't get more than one orb effect or is this coz he ranged?And wats the best lane for huskar to go in?????

@rockista100
That's because here in the Philippines we usually like to prolong a game too much. The games I usually see are farm fests where people spend more time neutraling and farming over ganking. Since we usually put -np in our games, it's very easy to farm without worry of being ganked.

so thats how kira fared relic in 12:00 mark

wtf?, hello.., orb effect!!!
and all u need is 6 heart of tarasque then GG...
lol

i disagree with life steal!!!
coz it dosent fit his berserkers blood)

so hope seen some updates...

I love this guide when I used Huskar and followed your skill build except for the item build. I rocked in the end game I had 18-1 and the one is because all 5 heroes ganged up on me and when the game ended i had 4 HoT and 1 satanic thanks now Huskar is my fave hero now.

Good strategy. And i love the name haha

Very informative and a helpful insight.
Thanks very much.

i find burning spear useful for little hp people. they could get away but when u use spear they could die halfway to the fountain

Nice strategy...

I'm getting my 10 changed to a 6. Honestly... needs work. Many have asked for Lifebreak tactics and you do not do anything, nor has your 'fighting section' appeared in the guide like you said. And its short. And no tactics really. Etc. You're neglecting the guide!

ok, well i did add a fighting tactic part to the guide but for some very odd reason its not coming up so ill just type it here in the comments and maybe ill try to insert it into the guide later on

the only time you honestly have to use life break is at the start of a gank to reduce the most amount of hp (since it goes by %) the rest of their hp should be taken care of from the extra DPS you get from BB since you also have low hp since you life breaked him. Ill add this to the guide once i can.

This guide is really good! You don't need burning spears, it's better without. You gain more from the lifesteal. And what concerns the items... it's not too hard to get those, went pretty quick for me (was a really good game, took over 1hr), had Power Threads, Satanic, Assault Cuirass and Eye of Skaadi. Although I would change armlet for MKB and get HoT last since you're already pretty pumped with hp from Satanic and Eye of Skaadi. :)

get the necessary items.
heart,threads,vanguard,buriza = GG^^
effective build but cheap ^^

When i played i screwed zeus 3 times in a row..... but i think it was because i had 2 HoT......

lol

i think your strategy isn't good because i am very good huskar player and i always use the skill burning spear at the early game and when i cast it early the enemy loses much hp cause of the skill. I think this is the key for the early game for huskar to can exp and have some kills because you can push back your enemies and sometimes kill them with the effect of berserker's blood

@UP

wrong, i thnk u arent good enough, burning spear = mid game ++, btw. this build sux 3/10 most expensive i ever saw u will never go to it in multi (speicaly 5v5)

i dont understand how this build is expensive, if your looking at the last inventory picture, im saying thats what your DREAM items would be, and thats what to go for if your really late into the game and need ideas.

the core items are AoM, treads, satanic.. which is not asking much if you know how to last hit creeps

btw iv tried editing the strategy many times already to insert a fighting strategy in the late game section, but it just wont update. PM me telling me how to update it and i will.

also my new account name, for anyone who wants to talk or wants to contact me about something is LabRat @ Azeroth.

And if you question this strategies effectiveness you can always email me requesting a replay or two of me doing this strategy (and raping ofcourse :P)

so you mean we dont have to get that awful 6k EoS, or that awful 6k satanic?get real. he's saying satanic+EoS is too much

LOL, counter force, just because the items are expensive doesn't mean they are not suitable for that hero.

surely EoS has very expensive peices. That doesn't mean the frost attack and life steal effects arnt effin amazing.

If what your looking for is an alternative item build for a huskar who is doing rather poorly in the game, i suppose you can get MKB instead of EoS.

but saying you shouldnt get a particular item because it is too expensive is just...well... no offense but, its noob.

burning spear is NOT frigging useless
it stacks 5 times! that's 60 damage per second for 6 seconds....
assuming u jsut keep walloping him, u get that 60 damage bonus....and when he runs.he still takes damage....
recommend hyperstone to increase his attack speed....

n cast his ulti first thing.....
a 25lvl centaur warchief with 4k hp wld immediately take a 1600hp hit....
boost ur hp REGEN with HoT. I don't care if he takes a larger wallop frm that ulti...that's only 25%. Remember that healing 1st skill? use it...and with ur insane HP regen frm ur being a STRENGTH hero and ur HoT, u'll recover way faster thn ur poor enemy...
o yea....u can also go 1 on 1 versus melee heroes....hsi armor and hp rocks...tht's all

Hey! good work with your guide, except for the eye of skadi (a basher would be better) and the part of the guide named "the emo kid" (emos sucks, and you know it )

it is exaktly what use on huskar the items are wery good but...i suggest u need 1 burriza to do more damage and obtain the extra hit points from the kritikal kos u stay 60% of then time in low hp sou u need something to boots your hp suddenly and that is buriza ,take the kuiras of bekous he has already has 10 armour from satanik and aom and he needs 2 take damage in order 2 get bonus damage and IAS from BB anyway its basikaly simple yet wery efikient nike job

Dude burring spear is one of huskars best spells. I rate this strategy 1/10 because ur saying spear dosent work with skadi and u want to go that 2nd. THATLE BE MAD LATEGAME...Spear is a great way to keep ur health low and can stack for massive dps. I find the best build for huskar is max spear first, regen 2nd, then passive last. Item build is treads to ARMLET. Then for the rest just get hearts. ARMLET COMPLETLY RAPES ON HUSKAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1- Ofr the start, i guess ignoring burning spear is ok...but I never play huskar without using it, especially to harass and far early-game (yes, I use burning spea t farm, choke)
2- You need a god alies list, which should include ever hero with an unbalanced stat gain. Pudge or Brad or Roofie with huskar= never ever ever die

I just posted a new strat for husk but i'm just wondering is mkb good for huskar?

burning spear is essential for me. especially at level 1. i was in killing spree by level 2 because of the spear hehehehe!

more of a masochist than an emo.. hehehe ;-)

does satanic and EoS stack..?

err.. in that second picture about the NS, why is riki at the top instead of huskar eh?

@dreak7

Yes satanic and EoS stack......or at least with ranged heroes they do

but the two items are orb effects..

my build 2 hyperstones power treads bracer and HoT. 11-2 before host kicked >.

I disagree with your items...does satanic and the eye of skadi stack together??? but anyway...I'm gonna try this hero at a 4v4 with my friends...I hope we win...gud strat though 9/10

my build for huskar is:
-2 tarrasques
-lothar's edge (for added movespeed, atk speed and to backstab unsuspecting victims and then use ur ulti)
-satanic
-boots of travel or power treads
-hyperstone or maybe i'll go for the cuirass

you still need ur burning spear at the start...but when you are already able to build helm of dominator, don't use your burning spear anymore...

huskars spear is really strong at least in early game, i wouldnt play without it

Umm..yeah, no one gets Inner Vitality first, you'd do better with Burning Spear & Berserker's Blood.(No idea why you want to get spear last o-o) Also, lifesteal is bad for Huskar, you already have Inner Vitality PLUS you WANT less hp so Berserker's Blood actually comes into effect. Skadi? I don't think so. Overall, I totally do not agree with this guide. 1/5

@Unkn0wn

Even if you DO get HotD,(which I highly do not recommend), you can still use Burning Spear, it's just that you will have to manually cast it.

IMO, lifesteal isnt a good idea... what makes huskar powerful is beserkers blood. so, the less hp huskar has, the more powerful huskar is. when you lifesteal, your hp will almost always be full. so berserkers blood is notfully utilised... when being attacked, just use inner vitality at half or 1/4 hp to make sure your hp doesnt drop to low and die

you is very noob no take regeneration 1º and you take the fire arons in last lvls aff NOOB

I read the comments.. Many here arguing about that BS v BB thing.. hermmm.. IMO, why dun we try his skill build? And we are the item build except to that EoS.,
Power Treads (str), HoT, AoM, Satanic - my build
But EoS is a good choice also, ('coz of its slow effect)

AHHHHH,no burn spear? hard la

rofl my nubie build is to get 2 hearts, s&y, assault cuirass + treads. thanks for the help. but isnt the armlet melee only?

rofl my nubie build is to get 2 hearts, s&y, assault cuirass + treads. thanks for the help. but isnt the armlet melee only?

I tried Huskar with Vanguard, HoT, 3 bracers and Str Treads, that's all. Owned everyone! The regen from the HoT and Vanguard cancels the autocast burning arrows 15 hp cost (cause it's 16 hp regen/sec). Try it!

skadi and satanic will mess up his burning spear!

yes on the armlet thou

burning arrows added to his skills in end game??? GAME OVER for you...try to give him 3 bracers at begining power treads and dagon ...u use ulti shoot him few times with burnin g arrows and then just BAM...agility or int hero on mid is over and you get your gold

err...am i seeing things..or is the part about u using huskar to own ns changed to u using sa to kill ns...

That strategy is SUCK! if u do 2 bracers 1 ring regen will be better

it's super weak, don't you think about it

you should buy vanguard in the early game

do SatAniC anD skadi stocks???

By Jaycee_072694 2008-05-07

does SatAniC anD skadi stack???

Absolutely! EoS IS NOT an orb effect for ranged heroes.

This build sucks a lot, I dont know why it is 4/5 It should be 2/5 or 1/5 Even if u had like 10 kills, You wouldnt have enough gold for this before 1:30, You should start thinking about something cheaper, and EoS ? WTF?! I think Life Break is enough noob

it was forgetable and stupid for me

skadi i dont think so..

NOOB YOU HAVE 2 ORB EFFECTS
SATANIC AND EYE OF SKADI!!!AND FUCK EMO

putang ina ang hira naman...poro ang galing ng strategy

it`s impossible because satanic & eye of skadi stack. Also your items are dream. Very expensive. For my huskar middle game boots,vanguard,hood & maybe 2 bracer it`s enough.

After this Huskar is tank. Also you use innr vitality & go for killing
