dota 2 guide

BIO
At the base of the Bleeding Hills stretches a thousand-league wood-a place called The Hoven, where black pools gather the tarry blood of the uplands, and the king-mage Sutherex sits in benevolent rule. Once a sworn protector of the Hoven lands, Clinkz earned a reputation for his skill with a bow. In the three-hundredth year of the king-mage, the demon Maraxiform rose from sixth hell to lay claim to the forest. In response, the king-mage decreed an unbreakable spell: to any who slew the demon would be granted Life Without End.

Unaware of the spell, Clinkz waded into battle, defending his lands against the demon's fiery onslaught. Clinkz drove Maraxiform back to the gates of sixth-hell itself, where on that fiery threshold the two locked in a mortal conflict. Grievously wounded, the demon let out a blast of hellfire as Clinkz loosed his final arrow. The arrow struck the demon true as hellfire poured out across the land, lighting the black pools and burning Clinkz alive at the instant of the demon's death. Thus, the mage's spell took effect at the very moment of the archer's conflagration, preserving him in this unholy state, leaving him a being of bones and rage, caught in the very act of dying, carrying hell's breath with him on his journey into eternity.

INTRODUCTION
Clinkz is one of the best archer in DotA. He have all what an archer needs, attack speed, damage, and movement speed, so pick this hero and be owning using this archer. Although Clinkz have damage and attack speed, he have the weakness of the majority of ranged hero, he only can attack a single unit at a time, except if you buy Manta. So be focused on one target, and after he dies, you can change to another target.
ROLE
STATS

ABILITIES
1. Strafe
Clinkz attacks with a barrage of arrows. Dramatically increases attack speed for a short time.
It's hard to say whether the blur around the Bone Fletcher are from his flaming heart or his speed with the quiver.
Increase your attack speed. This skill makes you to attack like crazy with a very high attack speed. Very nice to knock down enemy hero or towers.

2. Searing Arrows
Imbues Clinkz's arrows with fire for extra damage. Searing Arrows is a Unique Attack Modifier, and does not stack with other Unique Attack Modifiers.


Clinkz simply lights his arrows from his flaming essence for quite the destructive effect.
Add a damage to every attack. In early game, this skill is a decent skill for harassing. Use this to harass enemy hero once in a while. And in mid-late game, this skill is useful to add your damage versus heroes and towers.

3. Skeleton Walk
Clinkz moves invisibly through units until the moment he attacks or uses an ability.
With a burst of fire and puff of smoke, the Bone Fletcher was nowhere to be seen.
Makes you become invisible, useful for scouting, hunting, and for escaping. Beware, of Gem, Sentry, and Dust! You also become a decent runner with this skill, your movement speed will increase like a crazy, very good to escape, or in chasing a target.

4. Death Pact
Clinkz consumes the target friendly or enemy creep, gaining a percent of its hitpoints as max health and damage.
Sutherex' bond of life and death has become a part of Clinkz, and his old bones are refreshed with repetition of the pact on lesser beings.
Increase HP and damage by eating a creep. You also get gold from this activity.
Very good skill for a squishy hero like you because it will gives you a decent additional HP.
Also a perfect skill for a carry like you, because it will give a decent damage.
I recommend to eat the big creeps because it will gives you more HP and damage.

Why take Skeleton Walk on Level 1? You need to save yourself from firstblood attemp from enemies.

Why maxed Searing Arrows first? This is your main damage on early-mid game. You need this to harassing and killing.

Why maxed Strafe before Skeleton Walk? You need strafe for fast killing on early-mid game. Long duration of Strafe needed to destroy towers and in a long teamfight. And level 1 Skeleton Walk is enough for early-mid game.

In late game, your part is to deal damage as much as you can. Target squishy hero for easier kill. And dont forget focus. You should already have some nice items here, maybe Daedlus, Orchid, etc. So if your damage is already high, it's your time to shine!
Wait for your initiator to come and tank all the damage. Then, use your mighty attack speed and damage to demolish all the enemies. Focus on the hero one-by one. With that, you should be OWNING and win the game.

BIO
How long has it been since he lost his name?

The torn ruin of his mind no longer knows. Dimly he recalls armor and banners and grim-faced kin riding at his side. He remembers a battle: pain and fear as pale hands ripped him from his saddle. He remembers terror as they threw him into the yawning pit of the Dead God alongside his brothers, to hear the Dirge and be consumed into nothingness. In the darkness below, time left them. Thought left them. Sanity left them. Hunger, however, did not. They turned on each other with split fingernails and shattered teeth. Then it came: distant at first, a fragile note at the edge of perception, joined by another, then another, inescapable and unending. The chorus grew into a living wall of sound pulsing in his mind until no other thought survived. With the Dirge consuming him, he opened his arms to the Dead God and welcomed his obliteration. Yet destruction was not what he'd been chosen for. The Dead God demanded war. In the belly of the great nothing, he was granted a new purpose: to spread the Dirge across the land, to rally the sleepless dead against the living. He was to become the Undying, the herald of the Dead God, to rise and fall and rise again whenever his body failed him. To trudge on through death unending, that the Dirge might never end.

INTRODUCTION
Undying is a Zombie hero that considered a tanker-pusher-nuker-slower. He can raise many small zombies that can slow down enemies and dealing some damages. With his zombies, he can push quickly and destroy towers quickly. He is also a decent nuker+healer with his skills SoulRip, FleshGolem and Decay. He also can transform into a big golem that slow down enemy and do amplify damages to enemy around him. If you are a fan of Zombie Movies, Zombie Apocalypes, Resident Evil etc., this is the right hero for you. Raise the dead and call all the corpse!

This aura slows all enemy units within 750 range and amplifies the damage they take; the closer to Undying, the more damage.

STRATEGY
Early game
In the early game your part for the team depends on you and your team. Whether you want to be an annoying nuker, or a fast pusher. You have the ability to do both of those part for your team. If you want to be a nuker. you should maxing Decay and Soul Rip first, those 2 skils are your main nukes for early-mid game. Spam those 2 skills for enemy heroes and makes them uncomfortable in lane. Makes their HP become low or even kill them and get firstblood or something.

And if you want to be a pusher, you should maxed your Tombstone that can be use to block enemy creeps. Undying is one of the best creep blocker, just like Axe. With his Tombstone, enemy creeps can't go forward to defend their tower. And that makes your creeps and your team can destroy towers so fast. A trilane with Undying will guarantee 1 or 2 towers in the earliest of the game.

Although you are a Strength type hero, you should always have mana for your skills. You need to buy +mana items like Arcane Boots for your foots.
Mid Game
In mid game you should already have Flesh Golem ability. And you can use that to fight against enemies. While there are your zombies fighting with you, you will become more powerful. And also don't forget to spam decay and soul rip. Soul Rip that target foe will do damage and Soul Rip that target ally will heal.
Because you have a high pushing power, you can keep focusing on pushing and destrowing tower and another tower. You can also buy mekansm that will heal nearby allies, and also your zombies. Or, if you want to have more pushing power, you need to buy Necro Book.


Late Game
Because your skills are already not painful in late game, your part here is to tank the damage and rely on your Flesh Golem form to amplify damages. And you shoukd keep slowing opponents using your Zombies and your FleshGolem Aura. You also need your supportive items like Mekans to heal allies, Pipe to tank magical damage, or Necro Book to help team deal damages in teamfights. You can also buy a Blade Mail to reflect enemy's damage.
Using this hero, you should be brave and keep moving forward destroying enemy heroes with your scary face and big body.

ITEM BUILD
Starting Item
You need the combination of these items. Like: 2 branches, 1 tango, 1 clarity, 1 ward, 1 ring.
