Dota 2 - Dazzle Build Guide
0
BIO
Each young acolyte to the Dezun order must complete a series of rites before becoming a shadow priest. The final rite, the rite of shades, is a harrowing spiritual journey through the Nothl Realm, an unpredictable domain from which not all visitants return. Of those who do, some return mad. Others return with strange aptitudes. But all who go there are changed by their experiences. Driven by the need for enlightenment, Dazzle was the youngest of his tribe ever to request the sacred ritual. At first the order refused him, saying he was too young. But Dazzle was not to be dissuaded. Sensing something special in the headstrong young acolyte, the elders relented. Dazzle drank down the sacred potion and sat by the fire while the rest of his tribe danced through the night. In this ethereal dimension of the Nothl Realm, the properties of light and dark are inverted. Thus his brilliant healing light, beautiful to our eye, is actually a sinister kind of evil; and the darkest deeds are done in a dazzling glow. The elders' intuition was prophetic: Dazzle returned to his people as a Shadow Priest like none seen before, with the power to heal as well as to destroy. Now he uses his gift to cut down his enemies and mend his friends.
INTRODUCTION
Zzzzaaaappp! that is the sound you would hear when you play this hero!
Dazzle is a kind of hero that is specialized in healing his friends and keep his friends alive. His abilitites are all designed to do just that.
He have a wave of healing to heal all allies. And he also has a skill to prevent an ally from a death, And also he has a skill to increase his team's armor as well as reducing the opposing team's armor.
ROLE
STATS
ABILITIES
1. Poison Touch
Casts a poisonous spell on an enemy unit, causing damage and slowness over time, and eventual paralysis. Poison Touch mini-stuns on impact. At level 2, the slow increases after 1 second, and at levels 3 and 4, the target is stunned for 1 second after the slow.
One of the few Dezun rites used for offensive purposes, the paralytic enchantment often proves useful.
This skill is needed to initiate a gank. This skill will makes your opponent to slow down and receive some damage. Although this is not a superior skill, but it's still good to at least help chasing and also harassing the enemy.
2. Shallow Grave
An ally blessed with Shallow Grave, no matter how close to death, cannot die while under its protection.
Only a seasoned acolyte of the Shadow can properly perform the rite of preventing death.
This skill is a very powerful skill that will makes your ally immune to death for 5 seconds. While receiving this buff, even in 0 HP enemy can't do anything to kill the target. What you need to do is: immediately cast this if you see your allies are in low Hp and you feel that he will be death soon.
3. Shadow Wave
Shadow Wave heals several allies, which in turn cause damage equal to their healing in a small area around them. Dazzle is always healed by Shadow Wave, and it does not count toward the number of targets.
While it is a simplistic and routine rite among Shadow Priests, the Shadow Wave is also the most critical for success.
A healing Wave that deals some allies in the area and also damaging nearby opponents. Needed to keep your teammates alive during a teamfight.
4. Weave
Applies a buff that increases allied hero armor or decreases enemy hero armor in the target area, changing armor by 1 every second. Upgradable by Aghanim's Scepter.
His ethereal journey into the Nothl realm has allowed Dazzle to mend together the powers of light and dark, creating shifting waves of enchantments.
Increase armor of allies and also reducing enemy's armor in the area. The increase/decrease of armor is not at once but gradually.

Why take Shallow Grave for level 1? Eventually, enemy want's to get firstblood on level1, so if you meet one of those who wants to gwt that firstblood, you should immediately cast this to you or your allies to save him.
Why maxed Shadow Wave first? This is your main healing skill and also a nuke. you will need this for saving your allies and also for harassing enemy on early-mid game
Why maxed Poison Touch before Shallow Grave? im my opinion, a level 1 Shallow Grave is enough for early-mid game, a 60 seconds cooldown is enough so you can cast this everytime you see a red-Hp-ed ally. Or you may increase this to level 2 if you feel need more cast on this skill. Meanwhile, the Poison Touch is important for your team to slow down and also to set up a nice gank. You will need the DPS from the Poison Touch.

STRATEGY
Early Game
Dazzle is a utility hero, he usually needs to buy the courier for his team. And also don't forget to buy the wards. Noobs usually thinks that buying wards is not important, but that's 100% wrong. Ward is a must item for every team in DotA. You need vision from the ward to avoid being ganked by the enemy.
On early game, what you need to do is to support your partner in lane by help him denying the creeps and also try your best to keep him alive by casting the Shadow Wave and also the Shallow Grave if something dangerous happening to your ally or yourself. If your team thinks you need a bit of farm, the Shadow Wave can helps you farming faster by killing damaging some creeps at once.
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.

If that is not so dangerous, you will have the time to cast your ultimate first, it will increase your allies armor to protect them during the clash, and also it will make enemy become squishy and helps your teamd eal more damage. Also remember to cast the Shadow Wave to helps your teammates alive and maybe can damaging enemy a little.
If you sure that all allies is already 100% safe, you can be aggressive by casting the Poison Touch and start harassing your opponent.
If your team's are the one that initiate a gank to the enemy team, first is to cast the Poison Touch and Weave and let your friends to the damaging things. you can also help by attacking the opponent, although your damage is not that good, but it will helps your team to kill enemies.
Late Game
On the late game, your presence become so much more important. Your team will need a man that can guarantee a 100% insurance for the team. And that is your job to do that. You must deliver a safety feel to your allies, to make sure no one will be death during the teamfight.

Dota 2 - Lion Build Guide
0
BIO
Once a Grandmaster of the Demon Witch tradition of sorcery, Lion earned fame among his brethren for fighting on the side of light and righteousness. But adulation corrupts. With powers surpassed only by his ambition, the mage was seduced by a demon and turned to evil, trading his soul for prestige. After committing horrible crimes that marred his soul, he was abandoned. The demon betrayed him, striking better deals with his enemies. Such was Lion's rage that he followed the demon back to hell and slew it, ripping it limb from limb, taking its demonic hand for his own. However, such demonoplasty comes at a cost. Lion was transfigured by the process, his body transformed into something unrecognizable. He rose from hell, rage incarnate, slaying even those who had once called him master, and laying waste to the lands where he had once been so adored. He survives now as the sole practitioner of the Demon Witch tradition, and those who present themselves as acolytes or students are soon relieved of their mana and carried off by the faintest gust of wind.
INTRODUCTION
Lion is one of the best ganker in DotA. He have 2 kind of disables, a stun and a hex. He also have a deadly ultimate that can one-shot a low HP enemy hero until death.
You are considered a squishy hero, so don't trade blows with enemy' carries. Cause you will be death soon.
Lion is also considered an initiator for teamfights and ganks.
Blink Dagger will help you to initiate a teamfight or gank. You must Blink into near the opponent and then stun / hex him. And after he is being disabled, and you + friends must use all of your skills to kill him. that's it for the introduction of Lion.

ROLE
Ranged - Disabler - Nuker - Lane Support - Support
STATS
ABILITIES
The Demon Witch exercises his demonic covenant, opening a fissure from hell.
This is your skill to stuns the enemy in a straight line in front of you. Careful! Because of the nature of the skill, it can miss sometimes. You must place this skill carefully. You must only cast this if your you are already beside your target. That's because if you already clicked this skill from far away, the miss rate will be high. A Blink dagger may helps you into a better initiation.
You need this skill for ganking. This is must skill to chase enemies and stun them. And a stunned enemy is your friends breakfast.
2. Hex
Transforms an enemy unit into a harmless beast, with all special abilities disabled.
Lion is compelled to share his transfiguration, twisting the essence of those who oppose him.
Makes your opponent becomes Frog and can't do anything. This skill is very powerful in an initiation. You come and make enemy becomes Frog, and that's your team's chance to kill him quickly. The accuracy of this skill is better than the Earth Spike because it is a targeted spell and cannot miss. So if you only facing a single opponent, it is recommended for you to use Hex first before the Earth Spike to make sure your enemy is being disabled.
3. Mana Drain
CHANNELED - Absorbs the magical energies of a target enemy unit by taking mana from it every second.
Lesser magi are nothing more than a source of magical restoration for the Demon Witch.
This ability will drains mana of one enemy. Can be casted on ranged lane creep or some neutrals. This skill is an almost "bad" skill to take. Without this and with just +stats you still be able to cast your other skills. And with +stats is more powerful because also adds +damage and +mana & mana regen from +int, and +HP from +str.
4. Finger of Death
Rips at an enemy unit, trying to turn it inside-out. Deals massive damage. Upgradable with Aghanim's Scepter.
Lion's disfigured hand is also the source of his greatest power, capable of flooding victims with malefic force
This is your ultimate, you can one-hit kill enemy with this skill. This skill has a decent single targeted damage that can lasthit enemy hero in one shot. If your carry cannot kill the target, that's your chance to get 1 kill, with this skill, is easy to kill 1 hero in low HP, especially in early-mid game. Very good to kill steal peoples, but not recommended to kill steal a carry in a competitive games. That will make your team's carry become poor and your team will be so weak.

Why you should maxed the Earth Spike first? This is the nuke you need for early-mid game. You need this for farming, harassing, and ganking. This can also provide you with a defense mechanism, while being ganked, immediately stun the enemies and makes yourself / team safe.
Why you should not taking the Mana Drain? Well it's not a bad skill at all but it will surely can't fit the fast phase in a teamfight, it takes long time to drains one's mana. Increasing the additional Stats is a better choice because it gives more HP, more mana pool, and more damage.
STRATEGY
Early Game
Usually, Lion takes a support role in a match. Support role is role that responsible to buy animal courier and some wards. You are capable of doing that because you do not need so much farm. You are a skill dependent hero that not need many luxury items to be good.
Mid Laner
Lion can also become a solo-mid, a solo-mid er don't need to buy the wards and the courier because a solo-mid needs to be the farther in terms of farming, to be the best in maps in terms of level and items.
Last hitting and harrassing is your main priority on the mid lane. Last hitting and harassing is rather easy for this hero. That's because you have a decent range of 600. That is considered far than other hero so that you can dominate enemy hero on farming phase. You can use Earth Spike once in a while for harassing and also last hitting the creeps.
Please keep an eye on the warded place. So you can retreat when you see the enemy is coming to kill you.
Support
If you have a carry partner in lane, you can helps him with denying the creeps. Please do not last hits or your carry will become poor. If he become poor, he cannot carry your team to win the late game.
If there are enemies trying to get firstblood by killing you or your friend, you can use Earth Spike immediately to stun them, and run for your safety.
Or you can get firstblood with Earthspike. Ask your partner to do it together. Focus on a target and your team will ge tthe kill.
Please replace the Observer Ward that is already expired with the new one. The team will always needs a vision of the fog of war. That will be needed to make sure your friend not being ganked so you can saves lives. Please ask your partner to keep their eye on the warded place for their own safety.
Mid Game
Mid game is the time for ganking activities. Once you already got your ultimate, you can choose a target to be ganked. Please confirm your friend about who your target is. Then together you can focus fire on him.
Check your target ability first. So if he can become invisible, make sure you bring the item needed to reveal them. You can buy a gem, sentry wards, or dusts.
If your target is only a single target, we recommend you to use the Hex first before the Earth Spike, it will 100% disable the target. Remember that the Earthspike can miss if the target moves. And then all your friends should come too and use their ability to the target. And if hasn't die, kill with Finger of Death. Don't use Finger of Death if he is 100% death without using it.
A Blink Dagger will really helps you in ganking. Blink in to the enemy and immediately stun/hex him and kill him using right click and Finger of Death.
Late Game
Late game is the time for decisive teamfights. Remember to keep calm here. A little mistake can cost you the game. As a support, better to always replace the expired wards. That is needed to keep an eye of every enemy's move.
Here you should make a wise decision to choose between 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.
In late game teamfight, your part is to disables enemy using your 2 skills, Earth Spike and Hex. You need to act quickly by using Dagger or Force Staff if you have one, and stun / hex one target and makes him get killed before the teamfight start. You are considered an initiator-support for the team, it is ok for you to give your life if that will makes your team to win the teamfight.

This is your skill to stuns the enemy in a straight line in front of you. Careful! Because of the nature of the skill, it can miss sometimes. You must place this skill carefully. You must only cast this if your you are already beside your target. That's because if you already clicked this skill from far away, the miss rate will be high.

The accuracy of this skill is better than the Earth Spike because it is a targeted spell and cannot miss. So if you only facing a single opponent, it is recommended for you to use Hex first before the Earth Spike to make sure your enemy is being disabled.

Why you should not taking the Mana Drain? Well it's not a bad skill at all but it will surely can't fit the fast phase in a teamfight, it takes long time to drains one's mana. Increasing the additional Stats is a better choice because it gives more HP, more mana pool, and more damage.
STRATEGY
Early Game
Usually, Lion takes a support role in a match. Support role is role that responsible to buy animal courier and some wards. You are capable of doing that because you do not need so much farm. You are a skill dependent hero that not need many luxury items to be good.
Mid Laner
Lion can also become a solo-mid, a solo-mid er don't need to buy the wards and the courier because a solo-mid needs to be the farther in terms of farming, to be the best in maps in terms of level and items.
Last hitting and harrassing is your main priority on the mid lane. Last hitting and harassing is rather easy for this hero. That's because you have a decent range of 600. That is considered far than other hero so that you can dominate enemy hero on farming phase. You can use Earth Spike once in a while for harassing and also last hitting the creeps.
Please keep an eye on the warded place. So you can retreat when you see the enemy is coming to kill you.
Support
If you have a carry partner in lane, you can helps him with denying the creeps. Please do not last hits or your carry will become poor. If he become poor, he cannot carry your team to win the late game.
If there are enemies trying to get firstblood by killing you or your friend, you can use Earth Spike immediately to stun them, and run for your safety.
Or you can get firstblood with Earthspike. Ask your partner to do it together. Focus on a target and your team will ge tthe kill.
Please replace the Observer Ward that is already expired with the new one. The team will always needs a vision of the fog of war. That will be needed to make sure your friend not being ganked so you can saves lives. Please ask your partner to keep their eye on the warded place for their own safety.

Dota 2 - Keeper of The Light Build Guide

BIO
Upon a pale horse he rides, this spark of endless suns, this Keeper of the Light. Ezalor long ago escaped the Fundamental plane, separating from the other ancient forces to which he was bound within the great Primordial harmony. He is a power grown sentient in the dawn of the universe, and now rides forth in all planes at once, one step ahead of pursuing chaos, bearing his gift with him at the end of a radiant staff. His majestic truth lies hidden beneath the outward appearance of a slightly doddering old man who barely stays in the saddle. However, when faced with the challenge of chaos, or the forces of darkness, his primordial light bursts forth, and his full power is revealed, transforming him once again into a force to be reckoned with.
INTRODUCTION
Keeper of the Light is a nuker that his job is to push and also counterpush the enemy. He should do that by using his Illuminate that deal tons of AoE damage.
He also can drain mana of the enemies. Not just that, he also can restore mana to allies.
He have additional skill in Spirit mode, that is make enemy to miss on each attack.
He also can call a friend who his position is far away from teamfight area.
Very good to choose this hero if your teams focus is on pushing tower.

Why maxed illuminate first? Illuminate is your main nuks. This is what you need for harrassing and destroying creep waves.
Why maxed Chakra Magic before Mana Leak? Chakra magic is very important to spam illuminate and to restore mana for allies. This is important for early game when Ally's mana is still low and need a fast restoration.
Mana leak is skill to harass enemies, and stun him. This is the kind of skill to chase enemy that needed for mid game.
You can use this from the early game to makes enemy always lack of mana.
STRATEGY
Early Game
You have 2 options in early game.
1. The pusher type
You can harass enemies and push quickly using Illuminate all the time. (You can hide in the fog to cast Illuminate secretly) or
2. Lane support type
You can support you partner by denying, creep pulling, or even restore his mana, you can also drain enemy's mana
I believe the stronger one will be the pusher type. With this you can earn gold fast, but this strategy is not recommended for competition where you should give your farms to your carry and you must support him by not killing the creeps. Except if your competitive team's needs to push as quick as possible with your illuminate, then it's ok for the competitive.
On early game always beware of enemy's gank attempt. Your team always needs ward to spot the runed area where ganks may come from.
Mid Game
Your part is to always cast illuminate in every teamfight. Illuminate will deals lots of damage to enemies. This will helps your carry to kill enemies in an already low HP. You should also cast binding light in the middle of teamfight to make opponent to miss their attacks.
And if one of your friends is still far away from the teamfight area, you should call him to the teamfight area using Recall in your Spirit Form.
Remember to always use Illuminate if your team needs fast pushing. Illuminate is the best skill for destroying creeps waves at pushing.
Late Game
In late game you should already bought some supportive items like mekansm or Schyte of Vyse, or something else to helps the team. Remember your part in teamfight.
You have the same job in every teamfight.
1. If one of your friends is still far away from the teamfight area, you should call him to the teamfight area using the Recall
2. You shouuld also cast binding light before the clash, to make opponent to miss their attacks
3. Cast illuminate into the middle of teamfight that helps your carry to kill enemies in low HP
4. Use your supportive items, like mekans, Schyte of Vyse, Pipe.
Late game teamfight is the dependant of how the game will ends. If your team can win the teamfight. That means your team will win the game. And don't give enemy's any chance to fight you back.
ITEM BUILDS
1. You need to buy courier and wards for the team. If someone already done it, you don't need to.
Courier: 150
Wards: 150
2. In early Game, I recommend you to buy Boots of Speed, and upgrade it into Boots of Travel later
3. Mekansm
Total cost: 2306
Recipe: Headress + Buckler + Recipe
Why Mekansm? Heal for all allies in AoE, is a must for teamfights
4. Schyte of Vyse
Total cost: 5675
Recipe: Mystic Staff + Ultimate Orb + Void Stone
Why Schyte of Vyse? Very good item to initiate a teamfight. You are considered a support, and this item is one of the best supportive items you can get. Or you can use this to defend against somebody.
5. Pipe of Insight
Total cost: 3628
Recipe: Hood of Defiance + Headress + Recipe
Why Pipe of Insight? Gives barrier for all allies in AoE that Block 400 spell damage, very useful.
6. Necromicon
Why Necronomicon? You can summon 2 demons with reliable power. This demon is so powerful, and other advantage is that if you die, your demons will not automatically die so you still can play your demons if you die. This demons can helps you in pushing and destroying towers. Also helps in teamfights.
GOOD ALLIES
1. Magina
He will gain benefit for your skill mana leak that drains opponent's mana, so he can deal more damage with his ultimate.
2. Bloodseeker
He have skill that similar to your skill mana leak, he have rupture that drains enemy's hp if he moves. So if the enemy receive rupture and mana leak together, he then will lose both his HP and mana at the same time and he will be stunned when his mana empty.
3. Carries

Level 16: Spirit Form
Level 17-25: Stats
Why maxed illuminate first? Illuminate is your main nuks. This is what you need for harrassing and destroying creep waves.
Why maxed Chakra Magic before Mana Leak? Chakra magic is very important to spam illuminate and to restore mana for allies. This is important for early game when Ally's mana is still low and need a fast restoration.
Mana leak is skill to harass enemies, and stun him. This is the kind of skill to chase enemy that needed for mid game.
You can use this from the early game to makes enemy always lack of mana.
STRATEGY
Early Game
You have 2 options in early game.
1. The pusher type
You can harass enemies and push quickly using Illuminate all the time. (You can hide in the fog to cast Illuminate secretly) or
2. Lane support type
You can support you partner by denying, creep pulling, or even restore his mana, you can also drain enemy's mana
I believe the stronger one will be the pusher type. With this you can earn gold fast, but this strategy is not recommended for competition where you should give your farms to your carry and you must support him by not killing the creeps. Except if your competitive team's needs to push as quick as possible with your illuminate, then it's ok for the competitive.
On early game always beware of enemy's gank attempt. Your team always needs ward to spot the runed area where ganks may come from.
Mid Game
Your part is to always cast illuminate in every teamfight. Illuminate will deals lots of damage to enemies. This will helps your carry to kill enemies in an already low HP. You should also cast binding light in the middle of teamfight to make opponent to miss their attacks.
And if one of your friends is still far away from the teamfight area, you should call him to the teamfight area using Recall in your Spirit Form.
Remember to always use Illuminate if your team needs fast pushing. Illuminate is the best skill for destroying creeps waves at pushing.
In late game you should already bought some supportive items like mekansm or Schyte of Vyse, or something else to helps the team. Remember your part in teamfight.
You have the same job in every teamfight.
1. If one of your friends is still far away from the teamfight area, you should call him to the teamfight area using the Recall
2. You shouuld also cast binding light before the clash, to make opponent to miss their attacks
3. Cast illuminate into the middle of teamfight that helps your carry to kill enemies in low HP
4. Use your supportive items, like mekans, Schyte of Vyse, Pipe.
Late game teamfight is the dependant of how the game will ends. If your team can win the teamfight. That means your team will win the game. And don't give enemy's any chance to fight you back.
