Dota 2 - Slark Build Guide
0
BIO
Little known to the inhabitants of the dry world, Dark Reef is a sunken prison where the worst of the sea-bred are sent for crimes against their fellows. It is a razor barbed warren full of murderous slithereen, treacherous Deep Ones, sociopathic meranths. In this dim labyrinth, patrolled by eels and guarded by enormous anemones, only the vicious survive. Pitched into Dark Reef for crimes unknown, Slark spent half a lifetime without kin or kindness, trusting no one, surviving through a combination of stealth and ruthlessness, keeping his thoughts and his plans to himself. When the infamous Dark Reef Dozen plotted their ill-fated breakout, they kept their plans a perfect secret, murdering anyone who could have put the pieces together--but somehow Slark discovered their scheme and made a place for himself in it. Ten of the Dozen died in the escape attempt, and two were captured, hauled back to Dark Reef, then executed for the entertainment of their fellow inmates. But Slark, the unsung thirteenth, used the commotion as cover and slipped away, never to be caught. Now a furtive resident of the carnivorous mangrove scrub that grips the southern reach of Shadeshore, Slark remains the only successful escapee from Dark Reef.
INTRODUCTION
Slark is a hero that move very fast. Slark is the real runner in DotA. If you don't have a decent chasing skill, then you can't never reach him. Not just fast movement speed, he also have a jump that can faster his movement for chasing a target or for escaping.Slark also can steal the opponent's stats with each attack and make him stronger while making his opponent weaker. He is considered a carry that will be stronger for late game teamfights.
ROLE
STATS
ABILITIES
1. Dark Pact
After a short delay, Slark sacrifices some of his life blood, purging negative debuffs and dealing damage to enemy units around him and to himself. Slark only takes 50% of the damage.
This is your nuking ability. Deal some damages to nearby opponents around you. A good nuking skill for farming and harassing on early-mid game. The damage is considered high for early game and you can hurt squishy heroes with it.
Farming with this skill, you will deal AoE damage to enemy's creeps, this will faster your farms.
And for nuking heroes, you need to be near your target and damaging him.
This skill also removes buffs such as poison, track or if you already activated this skill and then get stunned, the stun will be removed immediately.
2. Pounce
Slark leaps forward, grabbing the first hero he connects with. That unit takes damage and is leashed to Slark, and can only move a limited distance away from Slark's landing position.
This is your jumping skill. With this skill, you will catch the enemy and also can be use to escape from the enemies. 1 enemy in front of your jump will be leashed and cannot run away, and that's your chance to harass him.
This skill also deal some damage that useful to harass your target.
3. Essence Shift
Slark steals the life essence of enemy heroes with his attacks, draining each of their attributes and converting them to bonus Agility.
Steal enemy's stats with each attack. On the late game, this skill is so fierce, because you will get so many stats quickly and make your enemy hopeless.
Like you get 30 Agility in just a few sec or something, and this stats boost will really increase your damage and attack speed so you can carry your team into victory. And your enemy will have his stats reduced and become weak and squishy.
4. Shadow Dance
When used, Slark hides himself in a cloud of shadows, becoming invisible (attacking, casting spells, and using items do not reveal Slark). Passively, when not visible to the enemy team, Slark gains bonus movement speed and health regeneration.
This is your main skill. With this skill, you can sneak attack while your body is surrounded by smoke. And if your enemy don't have true sight or AoE skill, they cannot attack you so you can act freely.
With the additional movement speed, your mobility will increase so you can chase or escape from danger quite easy.
You also gain a massive HP regeneration. You can fulfill your HP quickly using this skill.

STRATEGY
Early Game
On early fame, because you are the carry and needs lots of farm for buying the good items, so you need to farm as much as you can. Try to last hit every creeps on the lane, maybe Quelling Blade will helps you.
Always be careful of ranged or nuker heroes harassment on early game, they are like to harass you because you are squishy and will be dangerous on the late game if not being shut down on early game.
If your team want to get the firstblood, you should use Pounce to leash the enemy and attack him and nuke him using Death Pact, and also your friend will deal the damage too.
Mid Game
On mid game you should already learned Shadow Walk. With this skill, you will get very high mobility and can escape or chase enemies easily. Not just that, you also become invisible but still can attack the enemy. This is your main skill for the game. Always use it in every situation on the match. Mobility is what you need to gank, farm, escape, or killing.
In the mid game, if you want to gank, use the Pounce and leash your target and make him cannot move. Then you can attack him easily and also nuke him using Death Pact. Your attack speed is considered low on early game, maybe you need mask of madness to increase your attack speed, this item is so good because it gives attack speed, lifesteal, and also movement speed, that's all what you need to carry the game.
You can also use Death Pact to avoid being stunned because the stun will be removed immediately.
Late Game
On late game, what you need to do is: Be brave and focus attack on single target and not attacking the creeps. Focus is the first thing to remember as a carry, if you are not focus and attack the creeps, you will waste your time.
In this stage of the game, you should already have high attack speed to destroy your opponents. With the high attack speed, you will be able to gain maximum agility and stealing many stats from your enemy. With this, you will be so strong and can carry your team bravely.
Pounce is still useful here, with this skill, you will leash a target and make him easy to attack. And Death Pact can be useful to remove all buffs and make you still healthy for the fight.
If you already have Bkb, use that! This item will provide maximum defense from magical attacks, really helps you to survive in the hard teamfight. And also if you have the Battlefury you will have cleaving attack to demolish all your opponents.

Dota 2 - Nyx Assassin Build Guide
0
BIO
Deep in the Archive of Ultimyr, shelved between scholarly treatises on dragon cladistics and books of untranslatable spells, there is an ancient tome of entomological curiosities. Compiled by scholars, the book describes the telepathic talents of the zealot scarab, a strange species of social insect with abilities unique to all the seven planes.
Unlike most grubs of his colony, Nyx Assassin did not arise from metamorphosis with the plodding thoughts and blunted appendages common to the worker caste of his kind. For his was a special transformation, guided by the grace of Nyx. He was the chosen one, selected from the many and anointed with an extract of the queen goddess herself. Not all survive the dark blessing of the queen's chamber, but he emerged with a penetrating mind, and dagger-like claws--his razor sharp mandibles raking the air while his thoughts projected directly into the minds of those around him. Of all zealot scarabs, he alone was selected for the highest calling. After his metamorphosis, he was reborn, by grace of Nyx, with abilities which shaped him for one thing and one thing only: to kill in the name of his goddess.
INTRODUCTION
Nyx Assassin is the real ganker. All his skills are designed for ganking. He have invisibility. He have stun, and usually, he is equipped with Dagon for instant kill. He is capable of fast killing with just about 5 seconds. He is one of the best solo kill hero for early-mid game. He also have mana burn that can reduce enemy's mana and make enemy can't spam their skills. If you are a big fans of fast killing, then choose him!

And you can use this in ganking because it will stun / disable your target. And in the teamfight, you can use this to disable the enemies. Stun is important for teamfight. With the enemy stunned, your team can hit them comfortably.
2. Mana Burn
Destroys the target hero's mana equal to a multiplier of its Intelligence, and deals damage equal to the mana burned.
The tome in Ultimyr describes one scarab with the ability eat away at the mind of lesser beings.
Burn enemy's mana based on his Intelligence stats. With the increasing of this skill, it's just decrease the cooldown and not the multiplier, but remember that on late game, the INT stats of your enemy is high and of course the damage will be high too.
3. Spiked Carapace
When activated, Spiked Carapace reflects and negates damage dealt to Nyx Assassin (max once from each source), as well as stunning the source of the damage.
While their carapace is relatively thin, it's guarded by a retractable field of razor-sharp spikes.
This skill is your defense skill, with this skill, you can relfect enemy's damage and stun your attacker. You need to activate this and if the enemy attacks you, he will receive his own damage and being stunned. A good skill to defend yourself to not being damaged or killed by enemies in ganks or in teamfights.
4. Vendetta

The scarab kills for the glory of his queen.
This skill is your main ganking skill. You become invisible and ready to find the weak opponent. This skill gives you bonus attack for your first blow from your invisibility. Very nice to start a solo kill, remember that you are one of the best solo killer in DotA.

Or you can use this to get firstblood too, stun them and attack together with your friend.
Why maxed Impale first? This is your main nuke, you will need this for ganking, farming, and killing or early mid game.
Why maxed Mana Burn before Spiked Carapace? You need your Mana Burn to be spammable. If this skill is already on level 4, you can do 2-3 times Mana Burn per teamfight.
And spiked carapace level 1 is enough for early-mid game, and can be maxed late for your defense in the teamfight.

First is to use this skill, and then followed by your stun and mana burn and then use Dagon and right click until your target dies.

Why take Impale for level 1? You need Impale to escape if enemy wants to get firstblood by killing you. You need to stun them and run.
Or you can use this to get firstblood too, stun them and attack together with your friend.
Why maxed Impale first? This is your main nuke, you will need this for ganking, farming, and killing or early mid game.
Why maxed Mana Burn before Spiked Carapace? You need your Mana Burn to be spammable. If this skill is already on level 4, you can do 2-3 times Mana Burn per teamfight.
And spiked carapace level 1 is enough for early-mid game, and can be maxed late for your defense in the teamfight.
STRATEGY
Early Game
On early game, if you are a support for your carry, try not to steal the last hit from him. Deny is good, denying will reduce the gold and exp from the enemy. Use your Mana Burn once in a while, this will reduce enemy's mana and make them can't spam their skill. Impale is useful for stun your enemies. This can be use to find the firstblood or just to harass them. Impale also can be used to farm some creeps. Use Spiked Carapace to defend against enemy's attack. If they are chasing you, immediately activate the Spiked Carapace and make them stunned.
Mid Game
This is your time to shine. I believe you already have the Vandetta here. With this skill, you will gank everybody and will find some kills on the mid game. This kind of kills is important because if your team is leading since mid game, it will be likely to be owning on the late game.
Choose 1 target to start with. Ask your friend to help you in this gank. And then use the Vandetta - walk to your target - and stab your target. And after that you can use Impale, and mana Burn. Better if you have Dagon because it will guarantee the kill for you.
Mid game also is the time for the first few teamfights. Always try to use the Impale on al least 2 enemies. This will disable 40% power of the enemy.
Use Mana Burn to INT hero and hope he will loss many of his mana.
Remember to always right click one enemy and make sure you are useful in the teamfight.
Late Game
On late game, your power is not as powerful as mid game. But still you should doing something for your team. Impale is your main skill here. You should try to get at least 2 enemies in your impale.
With the right Impale, your team can get the advantage in the crowds of teamfight, like: they are all disabled and your team can easily harass and kill them.
Remmeber that now your Mana Burn has reaching it's maximum potential and now deal tons of damage to enemies. And the low cooldown is important for you to deal lots of damages in the teamfight.
Cast this skill to the INT hero of the enemy. They (INT hero) have high INT and will feel the more pain of this skill.
Also use Spiked Carapace to defend and this skill will also stun one of the enemy.
After winning a teamfight your team have 2 options, to push or to Rosh. Thaose 2 options is both good choice. Just need to choose it base on your leader or based on vote.
