Dota 2 - Skywrath Mage Build Guide
0
STATS
ABILITIES
1. Arcane Bolt
Skywrath launches a slow-moving bolt of arcane magic, dealing damage to an enemy unit based on Skywrath's intelligence.
This is your most fierceful skill on the early game. You need to always spam this skill since the earliest stage of the game and keep your opponent on low health. That way you will have more laning opportunity because as your opponent is in low health, they should not come near you and they cannot farm well so you can last hits and denies easily.
2. Concussive Shot
Skywrath sets off a long range shot that hits the closest hero within a long range. Upon impact, it deals damage and slows in an area of effect.
An auto-searching for target ability. So you click this ability, and then comes a bolt from you that finds the nearby enemy. The range is so high: 1600, So if you see any enemy on your screen, you can immediately slow down him and also damaging him with this skill. Needed to initiate a fire to the opponent, After you cast this sability, your enemy is slowed down and you can use your other 3 abilities. Also your friends can easily harass the opponent. The slow down effect can also be use on a run.
3. Ancient Seal
Skywrath seals the targeted unit with an ancient rune, silencing it and causing it to take additional damage from spells.
Silence down a target. And also gives the target a magical damage amplifier. One of your two initiating skill beside the Conssive Shot. Use the two skill combined and get the max result.
4. Mystic Flare
Skywrath uses his ultimate magical ability to conjure a precise and violent mystical field that lays waste to his adversaries. Deals massive damage distributed evenly among any Heroes in the area over 2 seconds.
Your most damaging ability. A bit hard to use because the radius is so small. So you may need a helping ability from your friend. You need a lock down ability that makes enemy can't move so he will receive a full damage from this skill.

BIO
A highly placed mage in the court of the Ghastly Eyrie, Dragonus lives a troubled existence. Sworn by birth to protect whoever sits within the Nest of Thorns, he hates the current Skywrath queen with all his soul. As a youth, high-born, he was a friend and companion to the eldest Skywrath princess, Shendelzare, first in line for the Nest. He had loved her warmly and unshakably, but as his studies took hold, his mind turned to arcane learning and the mastery of Skywrath sorcery.
Obsessed with matters aetherial, he missed the mundane signs of courtly treachery that hinted at a plot against Shendelzare, and lost his chance to foil it. When the court was shaken by a swift and violent coup, he emerged from his studies to discover his oldest and dearest friend had been lost to him. The Nest of Thorns now belonged to Shendelzare's ruthless younger sister, and Dragonus could do nothing. The magic of the Skywrath Mage serves only the sworn protector of the Skywrath scion, so to act against the Nest would render him helpless. He clings to his post, believing it to be the best hope of one day restoring his true love to her rightful place. Meanwhile, his secret is known only to the goddess Scree'auk, whose magic it was transformed Shendelzare from a crippled physical creature into an embodiment of pure vengeful energy.
While he dreams of restoring his beloved queen to the Ghastly Eyrie, he dreams even more desperately of restoring Shendelzare herself to a fully healed physical form. The duplicity of his role at court tortures him, for he is a noble and good-hearted creature; but the worst torture of all is imagining the hatred that Vengeful Spirit must hold in her heart for him.
INTRODUCTION

Dota 2 - Clockwerk Build Guide
0
BIO
Rattletrap descends from the same far-flung kindred as Sniper and Tinker, and like many of the Keen Folk, has offset his diminutive stature through the application of gadgetry and wit. The son of the son of a clockmaker, Rattletrap was many years apprenticed to that trade before war rode down from the mountains and swept the plains villages free of such innocent vocations. "Your new trade is battle," his dying father told him as the village of their ancestors lay in charred and smoking ruins.
It is a poor tradesman who blames his tools, and Rattletrap was never one to make excuses. After burying his father among the ruins of their village, he set about to transform himself into the greatest tool of warfare that any world had ever seen. He vowed to never again be caught unprepared, instead using his talents to assemble a suit of powered Clockwerk armor to make the knights of other lands look like tin cans by comparison. Now Rattletrap is alive with devices-a small but deadly warrior whose skills at ambush and destruction have risen to near-automated levels of efficiency. An artisan of death, his mechanizations make short work of the unwary, heralding a new dawn in this age of warfare. What time is it? It's Clockwerk time!
1. Battery Assault
Discharges high-powered shrapnel at random nearby enemy units, dealing minor magical damage and ministun.
Some of Rattletrap's contraptions don't quite work correctly, so detonating them proves useful as an offensive maneuver.
A DPS skill to all enemies nearby. A very good skill to cast while there is an enemy that cogged (see skill 2).
2. Power Cogs
Forms a barrier of energized cogs around Clockwerk, trapping any units that are near. Enemies outside the trap that touch a cog are knocked back, losing health and mana. Once a cog has delivered a shock, it will power down. Cogs can be destroyed by enemies in 3 attacks, but Clockwerk can destroy them with just one.
One of Clockwerk's inventions of which he is most proud is the power cog - though it is sometimes despised by his allies.
This skill is a main skill to lock down your target.
3. Rocket Flare
Fires a global range flare that explodes over a given area, damaging enemies and providing vision for 10 seconds.
What started as a festive display has become a useful scouting and bombardment tool.
A global skill do damaging enemy wherever he is. Can also useful for farming creeps. Can also useful for de push. You can also max this skill early for harassing enemy in your lane.
4. Hookshot
Fires a grappling device rapidly at the target location. If the hook hits a non-neutral unit, Clockwerk launches himself into the target, stunning and dealing damage. Any enemies Clockwerk collides with along the way are subject to damage and stunned. Upgradable by Aghanim's Scepter.
A somewhat unwieldy device, the Hookshot sends the otherwise clunky Clockwerk armor flying through the air.
Hookshot is a high skill - required ability that needs practice to can achieve 100% accuracy. This is your team's initiating skill. Remember to place a cog after you successfully hook a target.

STRATEGY+ITEM BUILD
Early Game
Clock starting position is usually in the offlane (top lane for radiant / bot lane for dire). Altough a competent player can play clock in the mid lane too. But as a starter better going the standard way which is in the offlane.
The goal of the offlaner is to get levels without thinking much about golds. Last hitting in the offlane is hard beacuse the enemy support will zone you.
The important things you need to do is:
1. Stacking your regenerative items like tangoes and salves to make sure that your health is always full. Make sure that you're not being killed by the enemy's aggression.
2. Don't forget to add some defensive items too. As a starting items a stout shield and a couple of branches will do. The branches is the preparation for a magic stick, Stout shield is upgradable to a vanguard.
As the game goes, you need to get boots and a magic stick as fast as possible. Botts is so important because with boots you can at least escape from enemy's gank.
The key to maximizing your early game is to know how to use the Power Cog. It can be a very tricky, The way you place your power cog in the laning phase can harass your laning enemy, Use it once in a while to drain their mana.
And also don't forget to spam your rocket flare. It will eventually reduce enemy's HP to a point where thay become low and makes them vulnerable,
Also use Rocket flare on 2:00 4:00 6:00 ( every 2 minutes) ..... to check rune
Mid Game
Before starting the gank pls use the smoke of deceit if you have enough money. It makes you invisible to the enemy wards.
2. Use hookshot to jump to your target, it will stun him and damaging him. If it miss then you need to wait the cooldown.
Maybe you need to count 1 2 3 and land a perfect hook.
3. If your hookshot lands on your target, immediately use power cog to trap him.
4. If you have Blademail already, then use it immediately, make sure he can't hurt you without hurting himself.
5. Use Battery Assault and Rocket Flare to finish him off
Your opponent is sure to die with this combo hppefully.
Cog last long so your enemy cannot move away and constantly can be harassed by you. Your friend can also helps by attacking the target while your enemy is trapped inside the cog.
Find as many kills as you possibly can. Make sure your team leading in kills.
Remember that the items that you are needed the most in the mid game are:
1.Blademail
By activating a blademail inside the powercog means that your oppontnt will hurt themself and can't escape a certain death inside your Power Cog with a massive amount of damage from Battery Assault and a Rocket Flare.
2. Forcestaff
In case you need to get out of the power cog you can use it.
And also useful for chasing your enemy
Late Game
On the late game, you can't act alone. Here your team needs to move as five. with you as the initiator..
The fate of the team depends on you so pls be more careful with your combo. aim with full concentration, don't miss any hookshot.
Pls smoke as five to make sure you are save from enemy's sight. And surprise the enemy with your immediate hookshot.
If your smoke stocks is empty better to stay at the base.
Also pls check roshan with your Rocket Flare.
Aiming the right target is the key to success, if there is a hero like sniper who is so squishy. he is your prime target, Aim him and you win.
Late Game ITEMBUILD Explanation:
The aim of the clockwerk on the late game is to create a massive tank which can bulldoze the enemies.
Octarine Core
1, Improve survivability which enables you to keep hooking everyone and damaging them using your spells
2. Spell cooldown reducer to makes your skill becomes so much more active than before,
Shivas
1. Reduce enemies attack speed
2. Reduce enemies movement speed when activated (also damaging them)
3, Improve your armor to make you tank
Heart of Tarrasque
Increase your health by a large amount, makes you unkillable
BEST FRIENDS
1. Nature's Prophet
After you successfully hook a target, he can come in and help you out with his right click and also his ultimate.
2. Wisp
The same as nature's Prophet, he can also come in with a friend right after you landed a successful hook.

The key to maximizing your early game is to know how to use the Power Cog. It can be a very tricky, The way you place your power cog in the laning phase can harass your laning enemy, Use it once in a while to drain their mana.
And also don't forget to spam your rocket flare. It will eventually reduce enemy's HP to a point where thay become low and makes them vulnerable,
Also use Rocket flare on 2:00 4:00 6:00 ( every 2 minutes) ..... to check rune
Mid Game
On the mid game, You must roam around the map and hunts the enemy. You have the tools to kill 1 target. Which is 1. Hook > 2. Cog > 3. Battery Assault + 4. Rocket Flare. Use it in that order. What you need to do is
1. Find a target, preferably the squishiest one. (for example Crystal Maiden, Sniper)Before starting the gank pls use the smoke of deceit if you have enough money. It makes you invisible to the enemy wards.
2. Use hookshot to jump to your target, it will stun him and damaging him. If it miss then you need to wait the cooldown.
Maybe you need to count 1 2 3 and land a perfect hook.
3. If your hookshot lands on your target, immediately use power cog to trap him.
4. If you have Blademail already, then use it immediately, make sure he can't hurt you without hurting himself.
5. Use Battery Assault and Rocket Flare to finish him off
Your opponent is sure to die with this combo hppefully.
Cog last long so your enemy cannot move away and constantly can be harassed by you. Your friend can also helps by attacking the target while your enemy is trapped inside the cog.
Find as many kills as you possibly can. Make sure your team leading in kills.
Remember that the items that you are needed the most in the mid game are:
1.Blademail
By activating a blademail inside the powercog means that your oppontnt will hurt themself and can't escape a certain death inside your Power Cog with a massive amount of damage from Battery Assault and a Rocket Flare.
2. Forcestaff
In case you need to get out of the power cog you can use it.
And also useful for chasing your enemy
Late Game
The fate of the team depends on you so pls be more careful with your combo. aim with full concentration, don't miss any hookshot.
Pls smoke as five to make sure you are save from enemy's sight. And surprise the enemy with your immediate hookshot.
If your smoke stocks is empty better to stay at the base.
Also pls check roshan with your Rocket Flare.
Aiming the right target is the key to success, if there is a hero like sniper who is so squishy. he is your prime target, Aim him and you win.
Late Game ITEMBUILD Explanation:
The aim of the clockwerk on the late game is to create a massive tank which can bulldoze the enemies.

BIO
In the Acid Jungles of Jidi Isle, poison runs in the veins and bubbles in the guts of every creature that scuttles, climbs or swoops between fluorescent vines dripping with caustic sap. Yet even in this toxic menagerie, Venomancer is acknowledged as the most venomous. Ages ago, an Herbalist named Lesale crossed the Bay of Fradj by coracle, searching for potent essences that might be extracted from bark and root, and found instead a nightmare transformation. Two leagues into Jidi's jungle, Lesale encountered a reptile camouflaged as an epiphyte, which stung him as he mistakenly plucked it. In desperation, he used his partial knowledge of the jungle's herbal bounty, mixing the venom of the (swiftly throttled) reptile with the nectar of an armored orchid, to compound an antidote. In the moments before a black paralysis claimed him completely, he injected himself by orchid-thorn, and instantly fell into a coma. Seventeen years later, something stirred in the spot where he had fallen, throwing off the years' accumulation of humus: Venomancer. Lesale the Herbalist no longer-but Lesale the Deathbringer. His mind was all but erased, and his flesh had been consumed and replaced by a new type of matter-one fusing the venom of the reptile with the poisonous integument of the orchid. Jidi's Acid Jungles knew a new master, one before whom even the most vicious predators soon learned to bow or burrow for their lives. The lurid isle proved too confining, and some human hunger deep in the heart of the Venomancer drove Lesale out in search of new poisons-and new deaths to bring.

STRATEGY
Early Game
Venomancer have the best slower in this game on level 1. You need to use this advantage into maximum potential.
Since the game start, be aggressive by hunting firstblood and harass your enemy to the max. While your enemy is knocked with your 50% move-slow, you and your friends can easily harass the target and get firstblood.
1. If you choose the push-counterpush build, you need to max the Wards first. Ward is not so powerful if alone, so you need to stack the wards until it will surround the area and become the strong tools to deal damage to the area.
Pushing towers will be easy with your wards. And also don't forget about the defensive power of your wards, it can make your enemy to retreat and cancel their push.
2. If you choose the full-harassing build, your enemy will be so annoyed of you. They will have a hard time in last hitting/denying because you will always can harass them until low HP, or get kills if you're lucky.
You can last hits the creeps but this is not your priority because you don't need much farm to be strong, your skill alone is enough to fight your enemy.
Usually your team decide you to be the support for the team, so you may need to buy some wards, courier, or Smoke for the team.
Mid Game
Mid game is the time for ganking-party and early-pushing. Usually, the ganker from each team will roam around the map try to help other lane and get early kills. Ganker like Lion or you are the horoes who should do this job. What you need to to is finding easy lane with a delicious enemy to start with. Coordinate the gank with your partner and make sure your team gets the early kills you need. Your main skill is Venomous Gale, if this skill successfully hit the target, your team can easily harass and get kills. So first you need to master the using of this skill. This skill is a stright forward skill and not a targetted skill, so your opponent can move and evade this poison. What you need to do is to come nearer your opponent and make sure it will hits your target. Once it hits the target, your move will be easy. You and your friends can then harass your target easily.
Here on mid game, you should already have Poison Nova. This is your main skill. This is one of the biggest skill damage on this game. The damage is almost sure will reduce enemy's HP to a very low condition. But unfortunately, this skill cannot kill your target, it will leave the enemy with just 1 HP and will stop reducing HP. You will need another source of damage to get the kills, you can use your own skill like Venomous Gale or your friends can do the job.
If you choose to be the pusher-counterpusher build, then you need to maxing Plague Ward first. Stacking Plague is the best way to defend against enemy's push. The damage from accumulated Plagues in an area can destroy enemy's creep waves easily.The Plague is also needed for pushing, stacks the Plague near enemy's tower and deal continuous damage to tower and the creeps.
If you are the support of your team, remember to always buy the wards and place it in a strategiuc location to see enemy's movement.
