BIO
Well may you ask, "How did this world take its form?" Why of all the worlds in creation, has this one its strange properties, its diverse and motley collection of creatures, cultures and lore? "The answer," One whispers, "lies with the Titans."
These original progenitors were there near the Beginning--if not actual witnesses to the creation, then born with it still echoing in their ears. Stamped with the earliest energies of the universe, they wished nothing more than to continue as creators themselves. Thus they bent to the task of shaping matter to their will: hammering and heating, bending and blasting. And when matter proved less challenging than they liked, they turned their tools upon themselves, reshaping their minds and reforging their spirits until they had become beings of great endurance. Reality itself became the ultimate object of their smithing. Yet, along the way, they sometimes erred. In cases of great ambition, mistakes are unavoidable.
The one we know as the Elder Titan was a great innovator, one who studied at the forge of creation. In honing his skills, he shattered something that could never be repaired, only thrown aside. He fell into his own broken world, a shattered soul himself. There he dwelt among the jagged shards and fissured planes, along with other lost fragments that had sifted down through the cracks in the early universe. And this is why the world we know resembles an isle of castaways, survivors of a wreck now long forgotten. Forgotten, that is, by all but the One who blames himself. He spends his time forever seeking a way to accomplish the repairs, that he might rejoin the parts of his broken soul, that we and the world alike might all be mended. This is the One we know as Elder Titan.
INTRODUCTION
Elder Titan is considered one of the best initiator in DotA. He have 2 initiating skill that will helps his team to initiate well in a teamfight. He also have a skill to reduce enemy's armor and resistance which will greatly increase his allies damage. He can also acquire a nice amount of damage from his Astral skill. Elder Titan: A beast the enemy should afraid of.

STRATEGY
Early Game
On early game, you should get lasthits and denies if your carry isn't in the same line as you. You may need to buy some items that will benefit the team. Last hits is quiet easy for you because you have a high base damage. And also you have the Astral Spirits to helps you get last hits by it's magical damage and also it eventually will gives you bonus attack damage that helps you get more last hits.
If you don't see any wards that will detect the enemy, you should buy it. Ward is a must item for the team. It gives a vision that preevents your teammates from enemys attempt on ganking.
Mid Game
Mid game is the ganking time! Everybody will roam around the map and find somebody to kill. It's your time to roam too. Don't forget to buy the Smoke of Deceit to hid from enemy's Observer Ward.
You have some ganking skill here. So if you want to initiate in a gank, what you need to do is:
1. Comunicate with your teammates about who should be ganked, you should focus fire on 1 hero in a gank, because if you don't communicate well you may attack the A person and your teammates attack the B person, and that is a bad gank and can lead to failure on getting the kill.
2. Prepare the items needed in the gank:
a. Use Smoke of Deceit
b. Prepare Dust, Sentry Wards, or Gem if you will gank an invisible hero like Rikimaru, Clinkz, or Nyx Assassin
c. Use the Astral Spirit
d. Use the Echo Stomp
e. Use your ultimate

On late game. The teamfight will be very intense. Beware! if your team lose a single teamfight it may cost you the game.
You should already reached high level here so you have an all high level skill and also an already high sats, HP and damage. And so does ebverybody in the map. And also with the high level, that means a long respawn time. That means that every move is becoming more important and decisive. So keep focus and also don;'t panic at every sitaution. Always think clearly and use all you have.
Here you should make a wise decision to choose btween 2 options:
1. To save money for buyback
2. To buy your next item
How to choose between those two? you may see how important is your next item. You can see it by: If you don't buy that item immediately, your team's can't compete with the enemy's power so buy it immediately, but if the item is not that important, you should save for buyback.
Your role in the teamfight is an initiator. What you need to do is:
1. Casting Astral Spirit and the Echo Stomp to make emnemy become sleep
2. Cast your ultimate
3. Use any clickable item in your pocket, you may have Mekansm or Necronomicon.
And if your team won the teamfight, you have two options:
1. You can get the Aegis for your team's main hero or

STATS
ABILITIES
1. Viscous Nasal Goo
Covers a target in snot, causing it to have reduced armor and movement speed. Multiple casts stack and refresh the duration.
Having caught a cold while stuck in the snow, Bristleback turns it to his advantage.
This skill is a great chasing skill. With stacking this skill into one enemy, you can harass hime asily because he will have a very slow movement and cannot run away.
2. Quill Spray
Sprays enemy units with quills dealing damage in an area of effect around Bristleback. Deals bonus damage for every time a unit was hit by Quill Spray in the last 14 seconds.
An enforcer's honor can be a prickly thing. So can his quills.
This skill is spammable. Deal small damage but will become a painful nuke because you always cast this every time. This will also trigger your ultimate which increase your damage to harass enemies more.
3. Bristleback
Bristleback takes less damage if hit on the sides or rear. If Bristleback takes 250 damage from the rear, he releases a Quill Spray of the current level.
Turning his back to a fight might be just the thing.
This is your defense skill to become a tank. With this skill, your body will become hard and enemy will have a hard time knocking you down. And also you will automatically release your Quill Spray if you receiva damages.
4. Warpath
Bristleback works himself up into a fury every time he casts a spell, increasing his movement speed and damage. The first stack (base) provides larger bonuses.
'Temper, temper,' his mum always chided. But in a fight, a temper can come in handy.
You get bonus damage and movement speed each time you cast any skill. So you must spam your Quill Sray and the Nasal Goo to increase your damage and movement speed.

BIO
Never one to turn his back on a fight, Rigwarl was known for battling the biggest, meanest scrappers he could get his hands on. Christened Bristleback by the drunken crowds, he waded into backroom brawls in every road tavern between Slom and Elze, until his exploits finally caught the eye of a barkeep in need of an enforcer. For a bit of brew, Bristleback was hired to collect tabs, keep the peace, and break the occasional leg or two (or five, in the case of one unfortunate web-hund).
After indulging in a night of merriment during which bodily harm was meted out in equal parts upon both delinquent patrons and his own liver, Bristleback finally met his match. "Your tusks offend me, sir," he was heard to drunkenly slur to one particularly large fellow from the northern wastes whose bill had come due. What followed was a fight for the ages. A dozen fighters jumped in. No stool was left unbroken, and in the end, the impossible happened: the tab went unpaid. Over the weeks that followed, Bristleback's wounds healed, and his quills grew back; but an enforcer's honor can be a prickly thing. He paid the tab from his own coin, vowing to track down this northerner and extract redemption. And then he did something he'd never done before--he actually trained, and in so doing made a startling discovery about himself. A smile peeled back from his teeth as he flexed his quills. Turning his back to a fight might be just the thing.
INTRODUCTION
Bristleback can be considered atanker and also can be build to be acarry hero. A tanker because he have the ability to reduce enemy's damage he receive. And he can also become a carry because he have the ability to increase his damage, and he also have the slow ability to help him chase his target.

STRATEGY
Early Game
Try to spam your skill Quill Spray once in a while. It will harass your enemy on the lane. Also don't forget to get the last hits and deny. You need golds to buy some items. And if you feel your enemy needs to be harass more, you need to cast Viscous Nasal Goo too and attack him. Beware from enemy's gank. You may buy some wards and place it on the rune spot to view if there is any enemy comes to you and you should retreat immediately if you see enemy is coming. Last hitting as Bristleback is not so hard, you have a nice early damage to do it, so keep focus and last hits the low HP creep.
Mid Game
Mid game is the ganking time! Everybody will roam around the map and find somebody to kill. So always keep your eye on the important place from where the enemy can comes up and always be careful. Always remember to replace the ward if the time is up and also always keeps an eye on the vision from the wards.
You have some ganking skill here. So if you want to also participate in a gank, what you need to do is:
1. Comunicate with your teammates about who should be ganked, you should focus fire on 1 hero in a gank, because if you don't communicate well you may attack A and your teammates attack B, and that is a bad gank and can lead to failure on getting the kill.
2. Use the Nasal Goo to slow down the enemy, and also reduce his armor
3. Use Quill Spray for every 3 seconds to increase your damage and also harass enemy with the Spray damage
4. Attack the enemy with your increased attack damage from your ultimate
5. If you fain in the gank, retreat immediately, I believe you can escape because you have reduced enemy's damage from your 3rd skill
7. If there is enemy that is run away, you can chase him with your Nasal Goo
8. Remember to push enemyy's tower after a successful gank

GOOD ALLIES
1. Carries
(Example: Magine, Void, Luna)
Early Game
Try to spam your skill Quill Spray once in a while. It will harass your enemy on the lane. Also don't forget to get the last hits and deny. You need golds to buy some items. And if you feel your enemy needs to be harass more, you need to cast Viscous Nasal Goo too and attack him. Beware from enemy's gank. You may buy some wards and place it on the rune spot to view if there is any enemy comes to you and you should retreat immediately if you see enemy is coming. Last hitting as Bristleback is not so hard, you have a nice early damage to do it, so keep focus and last hits the low HP creep.
Mid Game
Mid game is the ganking time! Everybody will roam around the map and find somebody to kill. So always keep your eye on the important place from where the enemy can comes up and always be careful. Always remember to replace the ward if the time is up and also always keeps an eye on the vision from the wards.
You have some ganking skill here. So if you want to also participate in a gank, what you need to do is:
1. Comunicate with your teammates about who should be ganked, you should focus fire on 1 hero in a gank, because if you don't communicate well you may attack A and your teammates attack B, and that is a bad gank and can lead to failure on getting the kill.
2. Use the Nasal Goo to slow down the enemy, and also reduce his armor
3. Use Quill Spray for every 3 seconds to increase your damage and also harass enemy with the Spray damage
4. Attack the enemy with your increased attack damage from your ultimate
5. If you fain in the gank, retreat immediately, I believe you can escape because you have reduced enemy's damage from your 3rd skill
7. If there is enemy that is run away, you can chase him with your Nasal Goo
8. Remember to push enemyy's tower after a successful gank
9. Remember that your spamming skill trigger enemy's magic wand so they will got the charge maxed easily.

Late game is the time for big teamfights. What you need to do is apamming all your skills. Spam the Viscous Nasal Goo into squishy enemy first. And also don't forget to spam your Quill Spray to increase your damage more. And then after that you can right click the enemy.

Dota 2 - Shadow Shaman Build Guide
0
BIO
Born in the Bleeding Hills, Rhasta was just a starving youngling when picked up by a travelling con-man. For two pins of copper, the old con-man would tell your fortune. For three, he'd castrate your pig, for five, he'd circumcise your sons. For a good meal, he'd don his shaman garb, read from his ancient books, and lay a curse upon your enemies. His strange new youngling, part hill trowle, part...something else, worked as assistant and lent an air of the exotic to the con-man's trade.
Always one step ahead of cheated customers, one town ahead of a pursuing patronage, the two trekked across the blighted lands until one day the con-man realized that the little youngling could actually do what he only pretended at. His ward had a gift-a gift that customers valued. And so the youngling Rhasta was thrust before the crowds, and the trade-name Shadow Shaman was born. The two continued from town to town, conjuring for money as Shadow Shaman's reputation grew. Eventually, the pair's duplicitous past caught up with them, and they were ambushed by a mob of swindled ex-clients. The con-man was slain, and for the first time, Rhasta used his powers for darkness, massacring the attackers. He buried his beloved master, and now uses his powers to destroy any who would seek to do him harm.
INTRODUCTION
Shadow Shaman is one of the best support hero in Dota. With 2 disables, 1 nuke, and his ultimate (Multiple Wards), Rhasta become a very strong support to disable enemy in the teamfight also one of the best hero in pushing-counterpushing with his Multiple Wards and Lightning nuke.
ROLE
STATS
ABILITIES
1. Ether Shock
Creates a cone of ethereal energy that strikes multiple enemy units.
Originally used to open shows with the travelling con-man, Rhasta's lightning display shocks adversaries in more ways than one.
This skill is Rhasta's underrated skill. Actually, I think this skill is pretty good skill with a decent damage and a multiple targetted spell.
A very good speel for harassing the enemy and can also destroy a wave of creep. 320 damage on early game will ensure a god damn damage on your foes and can easily kills the enemy.
2. Hex
Transforms an enemy unit into a harmless creature, disabling their attacks and abilities.
Rhasta often ended performances by turning himself into a chicken - now, the humiliation is shared.
Hex is one of the best Dota's disable. Your target become a chicken and can't do anything in the duration so your team can harass the target and kill him.
3. Shackles
CHANNELED - Magically binds an enemy unit so that it cannot move or attack, while dealing damage over time.
A self-defense incantation, Rhasta developed shackles after his master was slain in the Bleeding Hills.
A long disable while you must stand still while shackling the target. This skill will make your team have the time to harass and kill the shackled target.
4. Mass Serpent Ward
Summons 8 serpent wards to attack enemy units and structures. The wards are immune to magic, and have a small area of splash damage that increases per level. Upgradable by Aghanim's Scepter.
Snake charming was a big part of the Shadow Shaman's act; now Rhasta can empower the snakes to do his bidding.
This wards is very useful for pushing or counter pushing. With the massive damage output from the wards, you can:
1. Destroys enemy's tower quickly
2. Defend your tower from the enemy's push
3. Give some damage in the teamfight.
But unfortunately, your wards gives some bounty to the enemy who destroy it.

And then you need to increase Shackle and Hex.
Those 2 skills is your main disables and very useful in the teamfight and ganking,
It's up to you whether you prefer Hex or Shackle, or balance between Hex and Shackle.
STRATEGY
Early Game
Rhasta is one of the best support hero in the game, I think it will be wise if you save your money for courier and wards. Courier and wards will benefit the whole team and make sure your team can survive through the whole game because you can get your item delivered by courier and because you can watch the fogged map via Observer Wards so your team can be save from enemy's gank.
On early game, if you are the solo-mid hero, you should fight with the enemy's solo-mid. Be careful and keep focusing on the last hits. If you increse the Ether Shock first, you can harass your opponent and make him more careful about you and he cannot savely get the farms. Once you get your ultimate, you can roam and gank enemies.
You can also play Rhasta as a supportive non-mid hero which you should support your partner to make sure he can farm in your lane. maybe you can help him by denying the creeps, don't last hits too often because it will delay your friend's farm. You can also initiate a gank by using Shackle of the Hex so your partner can easily harass your target.
Mid Game
Mid game is your time to shine, with the maximum damage of Ether Shock you can harass all enemies in the teamfight with maximum damage, or with your Shackle and Hex you can initiate a gank or can disable enemy target in a teamfight And because Shackles requires you to channel the skill for several second, this skill order is the last skill to cast of your 4 skills.. And with your wards you can deal tons of damage in the teamfight.
If you fight enemies near their tower, place the wards in the place that it can attack the tower after you win the teamfight, remember that ward deal tons of damage to the tower. Wards can also be used to trap 1 target inside it, it will be painful to the target because he can't run for a long time and constantly harassed by the wards.
Also remember to buy the Observer Wards to support the team. You can place the ward in the uphill near the rune.
And because you have 2 disables, you can be a roamer to help your friend all around the map, gank enemies and get many kills.
Late Game
In the late game, your presence become more crucial for the team, you have 2 disables, so you become the initiator for your team. You can do it by jumping using a dagger and then hex a target so your partners can come and dominate the teamfight. In Dota, the one that initiate a teamfight, have the higher chance to win the teamfight. Be careful and watch closely where your target it, press the hex button quickly and win the teamfight by initiating the teamfight,
Double Hex?
Because you already have a natural hex skill, if you buy a Sheepstick or a Refresher Orb, you can double the hex and have more disables in the teamfight.
Double all the skills
With the Refresher Orb, you can use all your skill twice. And the most of it, is a double Serpent Wards, it will deal a massive damage to the tower or in the teamfight.

Dota 2 - Magnataur Build Guide

BIO
The master-smiths of Mt. Joerlak agree on only a single point: that the horn of a magnoceros is more precious than any alloy. And of all such horns, the largest and sharpest belongs to the beast they call Magnus. For half a generation, Magnus took easy sport goring hunters come to claim the treasures of his kin. Each time he would return to his cave with hooves and horns stained red, until his Matriarch urged him and all their kin to seek refuge to the north beyond the shadow of the mountain. But Magnus scoffed, having never failed to defend his people. The magnoceroi would stay, he decided, for a magnoceros does not believe in chance... nor does it ever change its mind. But when Mt. Joerlak erupted without warning, and half his kin perished in the fire and ash, Magnus changed his mind after all. The survivors pushed north, until they reached a blockade watched over by a hundred hunters armed with bow and steel. Magnus expected no less. He led his fiercest brothers and sisters in a charge against their enemies, and fought with a ferocity matched only by the fire-spewing mountain at his back. Meanwhile the magnoceros elders, mothers, and calves vanished into the drifts. The master-smiths are divided about what happened next. Some say Magnus reunited with his kin, while others claim he suffered mortal injuries and expired alongside the body of his Matriarch. Neither theory is correct. Magnus did vow to rejoin his kin...but only after seeking out those responsible for the eruption of Mt. Joerlak and watching them die upon his horn, for a magnoceros does not believe in
chance.
INTRODUCTION
Magnus is a strength-initiator hero that is useful to initiate the teamfights. All his ability are designed to initiate a teamfight. He can running while pushing the opponents and then stun them in one spot. He also have a skill t make someone get a cleave attack including himself, that skill makes him a rather supportive hero for the team, He also have an AoE nuke that is nice for early game.
STATS
ABILITIES
1. Shockwave
Magnus sends out a wave of force, damaging enemy units in a line.
This is your main nuke. With this skill, you will damaging the enemy and maybe get some farms if needed. The damage is medium, a nice skill to target everything in front of you. Although it's not so good, it is enough for you to deal some damage.
2. Empower
Gives an allied unit bonus damage and cleave on attack.
Add a cleave attack to a target, can also target self. This skill also adds some damage. A decent skill for a physical attacker that will deal a decent amount of damage to enemy. Your team's carry will be very happy to gain additional damage and also cleave attack if melee. Cast this before initiating a teamfight ( to allies and to self).

The master-smiths of Mt. Joerlak agree on only a single point: that the horn of a magnoceros is more precious than any alloy. And of all such horns, the largest and sharpest belongs to the beast they call Magnus. For half a generation, Magnus took easy sport goring hunters come to claim the treasures of his kin. Each time he would return to his cave with hooves and horns stained red, until his Matriarch urged him and all their kin to seek refuge to the north beyond the shadow of the mountain. But Magnus scoffed, having never failed to defend his people. The magnoceroi would stay, he decided, for a magnoceros does not believe in chance... nor does it ever change its mind. But when Mt. Joerlak erupted without warning, and half his kin perished in the fire and ash, Magnus changed his mind after all. The survivors pushed north, until they reached a blockade watched over by a hundred hunters armed with bow and steel. Magnus expected no less. He led his fiercest brothers and sisters in a charge against their enemies, and fought with a ferocity matched only by the fire-spewing mountain at his back. Meanwhile the magnoceros elders, mothers, and calves vanished into the drifts. The master-smiths are divided about what happened next. Some say Magnus reunited with his kin, while others claim he suffered mortal injuries and expired alongside the body of his Matriarch. Neither theory is correct. Magnus did vow to rejoin his kin...but only after seeking out those responsible for the eruption of Mt. Joerlak and watching them die upon his horn, for a magnoceros does not believe in
chance.

STRATEGY
Early Game
On early game, what you need to do is to farm if you are not as a carry protecetor. You also can become a carry. So try to lasthits the creeps and farm some gold. If you succeed at getting lots of gold, you can be a successful carry on mid-late game. Use shockwave once in a while for harassing and farming some creeps.
If you want to try to get kill, you must cooperate with your partner to can doing that. Use your Skewer first, and the use Shockwave to damaging the enemy.

Then: use Reverse Polarity to suck them and stun them. Your enemy will be damaged and stunned so your team can easily attack them. Also use Shockwave to deal damage more.
If you choose not to be a full-carry, On mid game you should roam around the maps and find opponents to kill. Come spontaneusly from the jungle and use your Skewer-Reverse Polarity to open a teamfight. Also use your right click and Shockwave. Ask your friend to helps in your ganking activities.
Late Game
On late game, maybe you succeeded in farming, or not, the matter is you should be the one who initiating a teamfight. You should use your Skewer and Reverse Polarity to initaite a teamfight.
