dota 2 guide

BIO
Born in a temperate realm, raised with her fiery older sister Lina, Rylai the Crystal Maiden soon found that her innate elemental affinity to ice created trouble for all those around her. Wellsprings and mountain rivers froze in moments if she stopped to rest nearby; ripening crops were bitten by frost, and fruiting orchards turned to mazes of ice and came crashing down, spoiled. When their exasperated parents packed Lina off to the equator, Rylai found herself banished to the cold northern realm of Icewrack, where she was taken in by an Ice Wizard who had carved himself a hermitage at the crown of the Blueheart Glacier. After long study, the wizard pronounced her ready for solitary practice and left her to take his place, descending into the glacier to hibernate for a thousand years. Her mastery of the Frozen Arts has only deepened since that time, and now her skills are unmatched.

INTRODUCTION
This hero is a nice support hero whose have 2 disables,
1. a targetted frozen,
2. and a slower for an area
This hero also have global aura that gives +mana regeneration for all allies.

People choose this hero to buy wards and animal courier, that's because this hero doesn't need much farm to become useful in teamfights. This hero just need to level up a bit and can useful because he have 2 disables, and 1 powerful ultimate..The weakness of this hero is that this hero is very very squishy, usually the enemy just need 2-4 hits to knock you down. You must be careful on your move.
ROLE
Ranged - Support - Disabler - Nuker - Lane Support

STATS

ABILITIES
A burst of damaging frost slows enemy movement and attack rate in the targeted area.
The air temperature around Rylai drops rapidly, chilling all around her to the core.
This skill is your decent AoE slower that helps in ganking, chasing, and on teamfights. You need to combine this ability with frostbite and Freezing Field to deal continuous magical damagae. You can also use this ability for farming, you actually don't need that much farms, but, farming is no harm.

2. Frostbite
Encases an enemy unit in ice, prohibiting movement and attack, while dealing damage per second.
Rylai channels winds from the Blueheart Glacier, imprisoning attackers in thick blocks of ice.
Your decent disabler. Disables 1 opponent. Makes the targetted enemy can't do anything for 3 seconds. Enemy also receive some damage per second from this skill. A nice skill to lockdown enemys and kill him with your friends.

3. Arcane Aura
Gives additional mana regeneration to all friendly units on the map. This bonus is doubled on Crystal Maiden.
Cold temperatures promote the essence of magic, causing Rylai's presence to allow spell usage in abundance.
Your nice skill that really helps all aliies to regenerate mana faster every second. Makes your team can be more aggressive because plentiful of mana.

4. Freezing Field
CHANNELED - Surrounds Crystal Maiden with random icy explosions that slow enemies and deal massive damage. Lasts 7 seconds. Upgradable by Aghanim's Scepter.
Once the place of her exile, Icewrack has become an anchor for Rylai's frigid onslaught.
This skill has a very high AoE damage and very useful to reduce enemy HP in teamfights. This ability will deal lots of magical damage and often kill the enemy. The disadvantages of using this skill is that you need to channel this ability so you cannot do another thing while doing this skill, you can buy BKB and activate it before using this ability so you can channel this skill and can't get cancelled..

The damage from this ability is so high. I believe the highest AoE damage in DotA. The enemy should run from the area of this skill if he don't want to get killed.

The damage can be increased if you buy the Aghanim Sceper. But because you usually don't farm that much, it is ok to not buy it.

Why Frostbite should be maxed first? Usually people choose to max Crystal Nova first because it has a wider Aoe than the Frostbite. Nothing's wrong with that. But, in fact, you need frostbite to guarantee a kill. Crystal Nova slows the opponents, but he can still do something to fightback and save himself. Frostbite will have the higher chance to kill someone because it will lock him 100% for 3 seconds in Lv.4, and deals some damages too.

Why Crystal Nova should be maxed before Arcane Aura? Crystal Nova is a nuke, nuke damage will be steady along the time, and will deal higher percentage of HP in early-mid game when opponent's HP are still hundreds.

Actually, taking Arcane Aura in early-mid game is not a bad option, this will depend on how your team play, if you need more mana for all teammates, this will be the choice.

BIO
After years on the trail of a legendary Eldwurm, the Knight Davion found himself facing a disappointing foe: the dreaded Slyrak had grown ancient and frail, its wings tattered, its few remaining scales stricken with scale-rot, its fangs ground to nubs, and its fire-gouts no more threatening than a pack of wet matchsticks. Seeing no honor to be gained in dragon-murder, Knight Davion prepared to turn away and leave his old foe to die in peace. But a voice crept into his thoughts, and Slyrak gave a whispered plea that Davion might honor him with death in combat. Davion agreed, and found himself rewarded beyond expectation for his act of mercy: As he sank his blade in Slyrak's breast, the dragon pierced Davion's throat with a talon. As their blood mingled, Slyrak sent his power out along the Blood Route, sending all its strength and centuries of wisdom to the knight. The dragon's death sealed their bond and Dragon Knight was born. The ancient power slumbers in the Dragon Knight Davion, waking when he calls it. Or perhaps it is the Dragon that calls the Knight...

Why Dragon blood on level 2? You need surivivability in early game. You need the +regen +armor

Why Breathe fire maxed first? This is your main nuke. you need it for harassing enemy heroes and also for fast farming. Because you are a carry, you need lots of farming.

Late Game
In late game, you should have maxed your Dragon Form. It is very important here, this skill will makes you become much more stronger because it gives bonus attack range, splash attack, and slower attack. You need to transform into Dragon Form before the teamfight starts.

In a teamfight, you need to stun 1 enemy, and then right click the enemy's crowds with your splashed attack.  Keep tanking the damages and focusing on dealing your splashed damage with your Dragon Form. Black King Bar will really helps you in tanking in teamfights.

I also recommend you to buy some +Damage item that makes you DPS more stronger.

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
When Verodicia, Goddess of the Woods, had finished filling in the green places, having planted the coiled-up spirit in the seed, having lured the twining waters from deep within the rock, having sworn the sun its full attention to the growing things, she realized that her own time had reached its end, and like one of the leaves whose fate she had imprinted in the seed, she would fall without seeing the fruiting of her dream. It pained her to leave the world bereft, for the sprouts had not yet broken through the soil--and they would be tender and vulnerable to every sort of harm. She found in her seed pouch one last seed that she had missed in the sowing. She spoke a single word into the seed and swallowed it as she fell. Her vast body decomposed throughout the long winter, becoming the humus that would feed the seedlings in the spring. And on the morning of the vernal equinox, before the rest of the forest had begun to wake, that last seed ripened and burst in an instant. From it stepped Tequoia, Nature's Prophet, in full leaf, strong and wise, possessing Verodicia's power to foresee where he would be needed most in defense of the green places--and any who might be fortunate enough to call him an ally.
