2. Headshot

3. Take Aim

4. Headshot

5. Take Aim

6. Assasinate

8. Headshot

12 – 15. Scatter Shot

16. Assasinate

17 – 25. Stats

I. Early Game (1 – 7)

Start with 5x Ironwood Branch and tango (as much tango as u can buy) in 5vs5

Ironwood BranchIronwood BranchIronwood BranchIronwood BranchIronwood BranchAncient Tango of Essifation

or if 4vs4 go on with 2 Slippers Of Agility, 1 Circlet Of Nobility, And Tango

Slippers of AgilitySlippers of AgilityCirclet of NobilityAncient Tango of Essifation

At First, pick any other lane do you want. This Skill set make you safe since you have a very fast animation attack and the longest distance attack in Dota. Harass Enemy by Shoot them once/twice if they come close to your range. Don’t worry because you have a huge distance so creep won’t attack you (even if they do, they can’t catch you). The only thing you must remember is don’t waste your assasinate skill except you know what you will do after that. 275 damage in early game will cost almost a half of Agility/Intelligence hero’s health. That’s a good news. Bad news, you can’t last hit hero easily if you waste it because either the cooldown is so long in Lvl 1, manacost was a problem for Kardel since he’s an Agility hero which is lack of mana.

Your item now will be ( Just will be, in real, it is harder to farm)

II. Mid Game (7 – 15)

We have 2 case in here, where situation in the game doesn’t support you, change your gameplay.

II.1 Case 1 : Damage, Damage, and Damage

If you are such a good farmer, get Eaglehorn or Demon Edge.

Rush Butterfly or MKB after that. (I prefer MKB)

Always pick lane that you probably will win in that lane, careful for caster in this stage because your HP is negligible. Getting a Planewalker won’t delay your core item, but if your team have tanker, leave it. Assasinate every hero that have red hp bar, or yellow one. It will scary them. Farm up your money coz we want to make BoT.

Probably your item in this stage :

Monkey King BarBoots of SpeedWraith BandScroll of Town Portal Planeswalkers Cloak(Optional)

II.2 Case 2 : Spamming Assasinate and Going to Eul

If no one picking a disable/support hero in your team, get Eul to help your team cancel some channeling enemies (even if you have stun 40%, it doesn’t guarantee your attack always do that) or saving your teammate. Getting this item will make your mana regeneration and pool increase slightly. So, spamming assasinate won’t cost much mana, and you can go scatter shot sometimes.

Probably your item in this stage :

Boots of SpeedWraith BandScroll of Town PortalEul`s Scepter of DivinityWraith Band

III. Late Game 16 – 25

III.1 Continue Case 1 in Mid Game :

After getting Monkey King Bar, almost hero that you’ve found will get pain. If no, then it means you must have another damage boost item or survivability item.

I would recommend Helm Of Dominator. Lifesteal attack will make your enemies thinking twice before attacking you.

If you’re lucky you can get Satanic fast (Ussualy in this stage you can scatter some times to farm up all creep so it’s a bit easier to farm 3200). After Satanic, get Boots Of Travel will increase your survivability since you don’t have any escape items. It’s good to now waste your 135 gold everytime you go back into base.

Ussualy, It’s almost reach the end of the game so get Butterfly to push fast and become a real dps hero. But if game isn’t over yet, Buriza Will over it. Critical Attack, Long Distance, High Damage, Fast Animation. WOW. Anything else? One slot can be fulfilled by any other item that you want, Assault Cuirass, another MKB, DR etc.

Final Item

Monkey King BarBoots of TravelSatanicThe ButterflyBuriza-do Kyanon

III.2 Continue Case 2 in Mid game :

Eul had done the job right? So now get damage item. Again i recommend MKB since it’s cheaper than any other damage booster item. For the rest, item will be the same as final item in III.1.

IV. Worst Enemies And Best Allies

Worst will be high damage dealer. Your crap health will make them attracted to you.

Most of them are Intel hero.

Lina Inverse - The SlayerBoush - The TinkerPuck - Faerie DragonKel`Thuzad - The LichAkasha - The Queen of PainVol`Jin - The Witch DoctorZeus - Lord of OlympiaLion - The Demon Witch

For best alliest, i think kardel can fit with most hero but the best allies i think those who have aura damage area and stuner.

Traxex - The Drow RangerShendelzare Silkwood - The Vengeful SpiritLuna Moonfang - The Moon Rider

V. Conclusion

Long Distance, High Damage, Fast Animation are the main weapon of Kardel Sharpeye. Maximizing that will make this hero untouchable. Combining with lifesteal and critical also making him the imbaness hero. The key is on the middle stage, if you can survive that, get mkb, then your job in the future await you.

  1. It depends on the strategy of the user. It’s up to you whether you’ll be able to use your items effectively and wisely. And of course, the timing, hand coordination and tricks is very much needed.

    • Why not get deslator?
      Because it will give your hiding place away
      It’s better for the enemy to not know where you are couse you will get some auditional 2-3 hits and that could be important in a kill

  2. take phase boot … desolater… mkb … 1 beaser …..something for mana…always assinate yr enemy its somewhat harrasing..used for gankin initially or running enemy

  3. all of the items listed on top, PLUS desolator? oh, and I suggest getting headshot to max and stats to 3 before getting take aim. it’s strong. :P

  4. Congratulations, this guide finally doestn criticize in a bad way dwarven sniper, in a matter of fact this proves people how good dwarven sniper can be. I love dwarven sniper but u forgot to say that usually not int heroes are his weakness. INT heroes have low hp which dwarven sniper can easily lower there hp and then use assassinate to destroy. Mostly I freak out when my enemies pick heroes with blink, for example: faceless void, chaos knight, antimage,etc…. but ur guide is awesome and those equips u mentioned are exactly what i do but i prefer doing the butterfly before the MKB. but yes with those equips he can turn to be a tanker and a killer with no problem

  5. weak advice thats a fucking asshole advice what build is that euls??? hahahahhaha you should direct build the manta style your foes weak

  6. if you want to be a god? use this. powertread,yasha,dominator,manta,butter,satan,buriza.. why i chosen this item? because,i’m never lose
