    BIO
    Karroch was born a child of the stocks. His mother died in childbirth; his father, a farrier for the Last King of Slom, was trampled to death when he was five. Afterward Karroch was indentured to the king's menagerie, where he grew up among all the beasts of the royal court: lions, apes, fell-deer, and things less known, things barely believed in. When the lad was seven, an explorer brought in a beast like none before seen. Dragged before the King in chains, the beast spoke, though its mouth moved not. Its words: a plea for freedom. The King only laughed and ordered the beast perform for his amusement; and when it refused, struck it with the Mad Scepter and ordered it dragged to the stocks.

    Over the coming months, the boy Karroch sneaked food and medicinal draughts to the wounded creature, but only managed to slow its deterioration. Wordlessly, the beast spoke to the boy, and over time their bond strengthened until the boy found he could hold up his end of a conversation-could in fact speak now to all the creatures of the King's menagerie. On the night the beast died, a rage came over the boy. He incited the animals of the court to rebel and threw open their cages to set them amok on the palace grounds. The Last King was mauled in the mayhem. In the chaos, one regal stag bowed to the boy who had freed him; and with Beastmaster astride him, leapt the high walls of the estate, and escaped. Now a man, Karroch the Beastmaster has not lost his ability to converse with wild creatures. He has grown into a warrior at one with nature's savagery.

    Why Wild Axes should be maxed first? It is your main nuke for farming and ganking, also can be used for ancient stacking.

    Why Call of the Wild before Inner Beast? You need your hawk for scouting since the early of the game. You need your Boar to be more stronger and have it's slowing ability increased before you started to gank somebody.

    And Inner beast will be useful for mid-late game where the right click power become much more important, so it will be better to take it in mid-late game.

    STRATEGY:
    Early Game
    In early game you need to lasthit creep if you are not a support for your team. If you are a support, you can deny.

    In early game, it will be better to summon your hawk for scouting the area where the enemy may comes to gank you. You can place your hawk in runes area.

    You can harass enemy once in a while using your wild axes and makes them inconvenient because you will always reduce their HP.

    Mid Game
    In mid game, your part is to gank somebody using your primal Roar and Wild Axe +attack from you and your Boar. You should ask your friends to gank someone that are alone in the map. Together with your friends, it should be easy to knock down enemy if he is alone in a lane. Prepare a surprise gank from the jungle and then use your Primal Roar as your opening, after that you and your friends come and your friend should use all of his skill while you use wild Axe and then right click,
    Your Boar should right click the enemies so that his movement will be slower and you can attack them while he can barely move.

    What you need to remember:
    1. When ganking you need to focus fire on one hero. You need to communicate it with your teammate, your team need to decide which hero should be focus fire first.
    2. You may also needs smoke of deceit to hide yourself from enemy's ward.
    3. Remember to buy sentry wards, dust, or gem before ganking invisible hero like Rikimaru or Nyx Assassin.
    Late Game
    Your part is still the same that is to initiate a teamfight. Use your Primal Roar as an opening skill. After your primal roar, all of your opponent should come and then use all of their spells in the teamfight. Your part after initiating is to: Use wild axes to nuke down enemies and then right click the enemies using all your units. Remember that you have +attack speed here, so it will automatically helps your friends in beating the enemies with the attack damage.

    Also don't forget to use all items you have for example: Mekansm or Pipe.

    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 - Zeus Build Guide

    BIO
    Lord of Heaven, father of gods, Zeus treats all the Heroes as if they are his rambunctious, rebellious children. After being caught unnumbered times in the midst of trysts with countless mortal women, his divine wife finally gave him an ultimatum: 'If you love mortals so much, go and become one. If you can prove yourself faithful, then return to me as my immortal husband. Otherwise, go and die among your creatures.' Zeus found her logic (and her magic) irrefutable, and agreed to her plan. He has been on his best behavior ever since, being somewhat fonder of immortality than he is of mortals. But to prove himself worthy of his eternal spouse, he must continue to pursue victory on the field of battle.

    INTRODUCTION

    Arc Lightning is Zeus' favorite spell to use against puny mortals.
    You need this ability to farm the creeps or harass the enemy. This ability is spammable anytime you need it. You will need to spam this ability to rech a decent amount of damage, because its damage is relatively small for just a single use.

    Why Lightning Bolt maxed first? This is your main nuks, it's damage is so high 350 in early game, with just 3-4 times casted on squishy INT/AGI heroes, it will 100% kill him.

    Why Arc Lightning before Static Field? You need to combo Lightning Bolt and Acr Lightning to make your nukes more stronger.

    STRATEGY
    Early Game
    If you are a support, you need to help your friends by buy them a courier and a pair of Observer Wards.
    Because your carry needs farms, don't steal his farms. You can help by denying the creeps.

    But if you are not a support, yo can also farms too. Because of your low range, it will be difficult to last hits, you must last hit carefully. You should also harass opponent using your Lightning bolt and Arc Lightning. In early game, your abilities are very painful.

    Beware of enemy's gank attempt. You must see the fog area by using Wards. Retreat to your tower if you see the enemy that coming to you.

    Mid Game
    Here, I assume that you are already have your ultimate Thundergod's Wrath. In this stage of the game, your part is to spam your ability in any teamfights you participate. You need to spam Lightning Bolt to the most squishy enemy. You also need to spam Arc Lightning. Use your ultimate in every teamfights to deal damages to every enemy on the map.

    If you feel its necessary, you can use your ultimate to kill anyone who is too far away from your teams range to chase him. Please don't use it to kill steal the carry because he should get the golds for the team.

    Maybe here on the mid game, you should buy supportive items like eul or Schyte of Vyse.

    What you need to remember:
    1. When ganking you need to focus fire on one hero. You need to communicate it with your teammate, your team need to decide which hero should be focus fire first.
    2. You may also needs smoke of deceit to hide yourself from enemy's ward.
    3. Remember to buy sentry wards, dust, or gem before ganking invisible hero like Rikimaru or Nyx Assassin.

    Dota 2 - Zeus Build Guide

    Late Game
    Here your part is the same, that is to spam all your abilities in every teamfights. As an INT hero, you usually already have some supportive items here, like Schyte of Vyse or Eul's Scepter, you need to use that items to support your team.

    And if you decide to go Refresher, it is a very good choice, because you will have 2 times ultimate, the damage will be so nice: 475 x 2 without Aghanim's Scepter and 640 x 2 with Aghanim's Scepter. With your ultimate alone, all your enemy's will be at half HP in seconds. You also can get RAMPAGE with this ability if you're lucky enough.

    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!

    BIO
    As The Admiral of the mighty Claddish Navy, Kunkka was charged with protecting the isles of his homeland when the demons of the Cataract made a concerted grab at the lands of men. After years of small sorties, and increasingly bold and devastating attacks, the demon fleet flung all its carnivorous ships at the Trembling Isle. Desperate, the Suicide-Mages of Cladd committed their ultimate rite, summoning a host of ancestral spirits to protect the fleet. Against the demons, this was just barely enough to turn the tide. As Kunkka watched the demons take his ships down one by one, he had the satisfaction of wearing away their fleet with his ancestral magic. But at the battle's peak, something in the clash of demons, men and atavistic spirits must have stirred a fourth power that had been slumbering in the depths. The waves rose up in towering spouts around the few remaining ships, and Maelrawn the Tentacular appeared amid the fray. His tendrils wove among the ships, drawing demon and human craft together, churning the water and wind into a raging chaos. What happened in the crucible of that storm, none may truly say. The Cataract roars off into the void, deserted by its former denizens. Kunkka is now The Admiral of but one ship, a ghostly rig which endlessly replays the final seconds of its destruction. Whether he died in that crash is anyone's guess. Not even Tidehunter, who summoned Maelrawn, knows for sure.

    INTRODUCTION
    Kunka is a carry hero which rely on high splash damage from Tidebringer (and Battlefury if you have one). You need to build this hero using +damage items to make this hero become a late game strong carry.
    He is also a nuker with his Torrent and Ghostship.
    You are also a ganker with your x mark the spot because you can catch your enemy easily.
    The weakness of this hero is his attack speed. Compared than other carries, especially agility carries, his attack speed is considering slow.
    You also need to build this hero to become a tanker, maybe you should buy Tarrasque and Cuirass.

    Note:  If you want to get firstblood at Lv.1 you can take X Mark the spot or Torrent on Lv.1.

    Or if you afraid of getting firstblood at Lv.1, you can use those ability to escape from the enemy.

    Why Tidebringer should be maxed first? This ability is so good on early game to make you easier in lasthitting the creeps and also harassing your enemy with it's splashed damage.

    Why maxed Torrent before X Mark the spot? Torrent will be more painful in early game where enemy's Hp is relatively low. And 1 level of X Mark the Spot is enough for early game to can chase your target.

    STRATEGY
    Early Game
    Your job in early game is to lasthit every creeps in your lane. Tidebringer will really helps you in this stage. Tidebringer will also gives your opponent some damage because of it's cleave, just hits the front creeps, and your enemy behind that creeps will feel the damage. You can also harass enemies by using Torrents, it's fun to watch your enemy bouncing to the air.

    Always beware of enemy's gank. You must watch the river area. The wards may helps you on this. If there is an enemy incoming, you should retreat to your tower for safety.

    Mid Game
    Kunkka is capable in both ganking and farming. Your team should decide what you will become,

    1. A full  time farmer
    This strategy ensures you having good items on late game. Good items means a good carrying power. This means you will become very strong on the late game to make your team win the teamfight.

    2. A ganker who is active in ganking activities.
    This also a nice strat too becausea a successful gank campaign on the mid game, will greatly destroy the enemy's power.

    If you gank, always remember to use X mark the spot, it will make your opponent to come back in the X mark. You can place your Torrent in the X mark to make sure your Torrent hits your target.

    Remember to summon your Ghostship if necessary.

    Ghostship is an important ability to surprise gank the enemy, just come from jungle and use Ghostship to your enemy. It will surprise them. And then destroy your enemy together with your friends. You have Torrent to nuke, X mark to chase, and you also have high right click damage from Tidebringer.
