ROLE
STATS
ABILITIES
1. Boulder Smash
Earth Spirit smashes the target enemy, ally, or Stone Remnant, knocking it back in the direction he is facing. The knocked back target deals damage to all units it hits. If the target was a Stone Remnant, damaged targets are also stunned, and the travel distance is improved.
It is with the power of a mountain that Earth Spirit strikes his enemies.
Skill is a bit difficult for those who are still unfamiliar with this hero.
With this skill you can kick:
-stone
-hero / creep
Enemies whose hit by the stone will be exposed to stun and damage.
The direction of the kick is straight, then make sure your position and the position of the target is a straight line and then you can launch a kick. With the number of times you use this hero you will surely understand by yourself. So keep practicing and become better.
2. Rolling Boulder
After a 0.6s delay, Earth Spirit becomes a boulder, rolling in the direction he is facing and damaging enemy units, stopping if he collides with an enemy hero or is stunned. If the boulder rolls over a Stone Remnant, the Stone Remnant is consumed and travel distance and speed are improved, and impacted enemies have their movement and attack speed slowed.
Calling upon his connection to the land, the Earth Spirit draws loose stone to him, which forms a protective ball that he can use to roll short distances.
You will roll and will stop when there is an enemy getting hit by you, then the enemy will be slowed.
Make sure you roll on the rock so that you will roll on a maximum distance, because if there is no stone, it will be a short distance. This skill is quite good for initiating, then you will be rolling into the middle area of the opponent, and then start the teamfight.
3. Geomagnetic Grip
Earth Spirit pulls the target allied unit or Stone Remnant to his location. Enemies struck by the flying target will be stunned, and take damage if the flying target is a Stone Remnant.
Like calls to like. Even the minerals found in the blood and bones of living beings are not immune to the call of the Earth Spirit.
You can pull the rock / friendly hero at you and the enemy crushed will be silenced. Skills are good enough to start a gank or a teamfight.
When the enemy is silenced, your team can easily beat him. Also useful when your friend is in trouble and you can pull him to the farthest from the enemy who pursued him.
Stone Remnant
Call a Stone Remnant at the target location. Stones Remnants have no vision and are invulnerable, and can be used with Earth Spirit's abilities. Calling a Stone Remnant consumes a charge, which recharge over time.
Put the stone. Stone is an element of every skill you have. All of them need stone.
4. Magnetize
Magnetizes units in a small nearby area, causing them to take damage over time for a short duration. Any magnetized heroes cause nearby Stone Remnants to become energized and explode, applying/refreshing the magnetize debuff on all units near the Stone Remnant. This process can repeat multiple times. Stone Remnants are destroyed in this process. If an enemy hero is affected by silence or slows as a result of Rolling Boulder or Boulder Smash, all magnetized heroes share the effects.
Deal damage to enemies around you. With the stone, dps will increase.
If multiple enemies at the same time exposed by the Magnetize, it is enough to silence one person and the friends will also be affected by the silence. Similarly as the Rolling Boulder slow, then all enemies will be exposed to slows as well.
This principle does not apply to stun.

2. As a solo offlane.
As a solo offlaner, then all it takes is patience because it is very difficult for solo offlaner to get gold and exp.Because the enemy will do to pull his creep wave and making us not get anything. It takes patience. Do not be too far away from your tower. If there is a chance and 100% safe from a gank then you can try to last-hits.
Keep playing safe until someone is coming into your lane and gank the enemy! Or maybe you can leave your lane and gank the enemy on the other lane.
3. As a solo mid.
As a solo mid, the skills for last hitting and denying will be more needed than the other roles. Keep calm! and occasionally harass the enemy. Also, on the mid lane you will need a bottle. Bottle is needed to get runes for ganking other lanes.
Once you're level 6 or above, start to move to another lane to gank the enemy. Look for the kill as much.
Mid Game
In the mid game , your ganks will determine the success of your team . You have steady abilities, either stun or silence to defeat enemies . Before doing gank , prepare items that may be needed , such as dust , or smoke . And do not forget to coordinate the gank with your friends ,remember to focus on one target, and kill him first and then you can switch to another target . Highly recommended to chain stun ,waiting for the completion of the stun before casting the next stun.
For initiation using Earth Spirit , use the Rolling Boulder to advance towards the enemy , do not forget shortly after rolling , place the stones so that the farther distance performance. And then you can cast stun( Geomagnetic Grip) and then use ulti, and also don'tforget to use silence ( Boulder Smash ) . Ifyour combo is right then the enemy will dither and his Hp will become little, and friends can easily defeat the enemy .
Late Game
In the late game your main role is as an initiator to make some space for your teammates . As always use the Rolling Boulder to roll towards the enemy , then stun , then ulti and Silence . If all goes well, after you do a teamfight initiation, all enemies will be exposed to damage by 20-30% of their hp, besides that they will be stunned and silenced. And it would open widen the way for the carry to finish them off.

BIO
Deep amid the Upland crags and cliffs there runs a seam of sacred jade long foresworn by highland minders. From this rare material, the likeness of the great general Kaolin was carved and buried at the head of a stone funerary army ten thousand strong--a force of soldiers and holy men, jesters and acrobats, carved by crafstmen and entombed for millennia in the dark embrace of the Earth.
What the craftsmen had not known was that within the strange seam of jade flowed the spirit of the Earth itself--an elemental force at one with the planet. When the force within the carved jade found itself cut off from the life's blood of the world, it gathered its strength over the course of a thousand years and dug itself free and into the light. Now the great Kaolin Earth Spirit strides the Upland roads, fighting for the spirit of the Earth; and in times of need calls forth remnants of his buried army still locked in the loving embrace of the soil.
INTRODUCTION
Earth Spirit is a hero who is very much versatile. From stunning, slowing, silencing, and also initiating though, this hero is able to cover all of it. And with the skill that has a short cooldown, add to the perfection of this hero. Correct use of the skill will determine your success in using this hero, so first learn how to do the tricks and optimize its skills and you will be IMBA.

Why Boulder Smash taken first? 125 damage at level 1 is good to herass enemy in the lane. And if want to hunt firstblood, his stun will be needed.
Why Boulder Smash need to be maximized first? the more damage and also the decreases of cooldown which will benefit to for stunning and damaging more in the gank and teamfight.
Why increase Geomagnetic Grip before the rolling Boulder? Silence will be needed for ganking, and the increasing silence duration would trigger ganking success.
STRATEGY
Early
At the beginning of the game, your role will depend on your position in the team, whether you are here as a support, or you as a solo offlane or you as a solo mid lane?
Will now be discussed one by one on all three roles above.
1. As a support.
As a means of support in your lane, there will be a carry that will do the last hits, and here you are guarding him. In case your carry is attacked by the enemy, you should immediately stun them with Geomagnetic grip, or you can pull your friend for safety using Geomagnetic Grip.
If you want to act rather aggressively, then you can roll towards the enemy and then stun and silence him then take him down with your friend..
As a solo offlaner, then all it takes is patience because it is very difficult for solo offlaner to get gold and exp.Because the enemy will do to pull his creep wave and making us not get anything. It takes patience. Do not be too far away from your tower. If there is a chance and 100% safe from a gank then you can try to last-hits.
Keep playing safe until someone is coming into your lane and gank the enemy! Or maybe you can leave your lane and gank the enemy on the other lane.
3. As a solo mid.

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.

Why maxed Echo Stomp before Natural Order? On early-mid game, the enemy's armor and resitance are still considerably low. Better to increase the Echo Stomp to increase it's Sleep duration for initiating a teamfight.
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
Late Game
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:

Dota 2 - Tusk Build Guide
0
STATS
ABILITIES
1. Ice Shards
Tusk compresses shards of ice into a ball of frozen energy that damages all enemies it comes in contact with. If the ball comes in contact with an enemy hero or reaches its maximum range the shards are released, creating a barrier that lasts for 5 seconds.
This skill is needed to block enemy's way in your gank. So enemy can't escape from your team.
2. Snowball
Tusk and any nearby allied heroes roll in a quickly growing snowball towards the target enemy unit. Any victims caught in the snowball's path take damage and are briefly stunned; the final target takes extra damage and extra stun duration. The snowball moves at a percentage of Tusk's current movement speed.
This is your initiating skill. You may combo this skill with your friend's skill for exaple with centaur's stun. So you need to stick with your friend and roll together and then after it arrive at your target, centaur should immediatelt stun the enemy. It will so deadly to the opponent.
3. Frozen Sigil
Tusk summons a Frozen Sigil by calling upon the deepest cold of winter. The Sigil creates a snowstorm which slows all enemy units within 600 range.
This skill will slow down attack speed and also movement speed of your enemy near the sigil. The movement speed slow can be use to chase the escaping enemy, and the attack speed slow is a nice defense against enemy attack. Cast this in every teamfight and you will save your friends live because enemy will have their attack speed become slow.
4. Walrus PUNCH!
Tusk prepares his mighty Walrus Punch; his next attack will do a critical strike and launch the victim into the air. The victim will be slowed upon landing and take damage. More damage is dealt if the target is below a certain percentage of HP.
This skill is a skill to knock down enemy in the starting of a teamfight. usually, you combo this skill with the Snowball so you can punch your enemy after he is stunned by the Snowball. The 300% damage from your attack will reduce enemy's Hp by a lot so your carry can finish him easily.

BIO
It had been a brawl to remember. There stood Ymir, the Tusk, the Terror from the Barrier, the Snowball from Cobalt, the only fighter to have bested the Bristled Bruiser in a fair fight, and now the last man standing in Wolfsden Tavern. What started as a simple bar bet of supremacy ended with four regulars, a blacksmith, and six of the Frost Brigade's best soldiers writhing against the shards and splinters of almost every bottle, mug, and chair in the building. The Tusk boasted and toasted his victory as he emptied his brew.
No sooner had the defeated regained consciousness than the cries for double-or-nothing rang out. The Tusk was pleased at the prospect, but none could think of a bet bigger than the one he just conquered. Horrified at the damage to his tavern and desperate to avoid another brawl, the barkeep had an idea. As skilled as he was, Ymir had never taken part in a real battle, never tested himself against the indiscriminate death and chaos of war. He proposed a wager to the fighter: seek out the biggest battle he could find, survive, and win it for whichever side he chose. The stakes? The next round of drinks.
INTRODUCTION
Tuskar is an initiator hero that needed to start a clash. He have a skill to roll together with his friends and then knock down his target. He have a mighty punch to deal massive damage in each clash. he also have a wall to prevent enemy from escaping. And finally he have a skill to reduce enemy's speed.

Why maxed Snowball before Frozen Sigil? Frozen Sigil is a teamfight skill for late game where enemy have the high attack speed so you can slow them down. And Snowball is a ganking skill, therefore should be maxed on the mid game.
STRATEGY
Early Game
On early game, you may need some farm to buy some items. But if you becoming a support for the carry, just danying the creeps is enough. If you are the farmer, a Quelling Blade may help you get more last hits and denies.
If you see that your enemy is in a bad position, like if your team have stacked 2 wave of creeps or he is late to move from your creeps wave, then you can initiate a gank by using the Snowball to the targetted enemy hero. And then after the Snowball hit the target, you can block enemy's way to run by using the Ice Shards.
Also keep your eye on the area where enemy may gank you, so you can retread immediately fi they want to gank you. Observer Ward is needed here, so your team's support should provide it.
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 then 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 item 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
3. Prepare the gank by assemble in one place with your team because you and your partner will roll together in the Snowball. Keep in mind that you can't always roll together with your ranged carry, it will be too dangerous for her/him.
4. Cast your ultimate: the Walrus Punch so after you arrive on your target you can immedately punch enemy in the face
5. You can cast the Ice Shards to block the enemy's way and prevent him to run away.
6. Roll toward your target. if your target is too far, the ball will stop before it hit the target, so make sure the range between you and your enemy isn't too far away.
7. The time the Snowball hits your target, he will be stunned, and that's the time to kill him, so now you can straight to punch your enemy in the face. And also your partner should harass the target too!
I believe that your target should be dead now, and if not, chase him until your team gets him.
If your team is outnumbered, you can gank the enemy, and if you are less in number, do not bother to attack them. This is the Sun Tzu's the Art of War.
Late Game
Late game is the time where all the heroes should already farmed, and that's the time for the decisive teamfight that will decide who will win the match. Be careful here because if your team lose the teamfight, it may means that your base will be raxed and you will lose the game. So ask your support player to always place the wards to spot the invisible area. It makes your team can keep an eye to the opponent's movement around the map. It is better to also place sentry wards that can detect enemy in the Smoke of Deceit. Sentry Wards can also detect enemy's Ward so your team can destroy it if there is any, also remember to place one near the Roshan's pit.
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.
Now about your role in the late game teamfight. Your role is still the same as the mid game strat above. That is to initiate the teamfight. Roll together with your friends, stun your target, and then kncok him with your Walrus Punch!, an then block enemy's way using the Ice Shards. And finally knock him down using your attack.
Also don't forget to cast the Frozrn Sigil before the teamfight. It will slow down enemy's attack speed and movement speed that means a very good defensive skill that makes your teammates survive in a tough teamfight.
And if your team won the teamfight, you have two options:
1. You can get the Aegis for your team's main hero or
2. Your team can push enemy base and destrouy their buildings. Choose wisely!

Dota 2 - Bristleback Build Guide

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.

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.
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.

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
9. Remember that your spamming skill trigger enemy's magic wand so they will got the charge maxed easily.
Late Game
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.

With the more stacking of Viscous Nasal Goo, your target become so much more vulnerable. it will be good for your teammates because the outcoming damage will increase dramatically.
Remember that you are the tanker for your team. You should become the man that is in the front line of your team's line-up. And should be brave to attack everything in the way. You may also buy some survivability items like Tarrasque to increase your defense more. And if you are terribly lose the teamfight, retreat immediately.
And if your team won the teamfight, you have two options:
1. You can get the Aegis for your team's main hero or
