Farming in Forest

I. Introduction

Since i can’t write guide once a day, because i have to do other duty as well as writing guide, so i decided to at least updated this blog once a day. Now i will post about one important things in dota, Farming. There are 2 ways to become rich in dota, Farming or ki4lling. Farming have 2 case, farming in forest or stay in lane. Which is better? This post wil tell the truth.

II. How And When we should go Farm into forest?

Number 1 – 12 : creep spawn. Spawn once a minute

Early To Mid (Living in forest? Why Not?)

Early game takes creep in 7,9 and 10 for sentinel and 3,4, dan 2 for scourge since the other spawn place creeps are harder to kill. Early game is Intelligence era so they won’t do much like spying forest because they need to control their lane especially zeus, lich warlock and other

(Mid Game, your future depend on this stage,warrior)

Careful in this stage, hero missing could be a problem for you. Ward should solve this problem.

(Sentinel)

Place with red line means place where clash usually happen in early to mid. Assume that your team dominate this stage and can protect your tower in middle lane and right lane and destroyed enemy 1st tower. If battle happens in mid lane, and you’re farming in creep 6 and 7 sentinel, then you will arrive at the right moment and help your friend. At least, 5 seconds to walk from there. Same goes at right place, in 9 and 10, it’s much closer than 8. Green for the closest distance, and yellow for the farthest.

When clash happen, leave the creep that you want to kill , helping teammate is your first priority.

(Scourge)

In other hand, for scourge , green means farthest and yellow the closest. Geographically , scourge get some disadvantage because there are 2 spawn creep place scourge farther to clash place.

Mid to Late ( still thinking of earn some money by killing those stupid stuffs huh?)

case 1: (Mid game not too successfull)
Push and farm together if you can, watch out for gangbang.

case 2 : (successfull mid game)
Get ready to booming enemy forest. You get your core item and it’s time to killing. If you want to farm, don’t get too far from your frined as they can’t help you if you trapped by enemy.

case 3: (enemy has hero that need farm as much as you, and he has better item than you)
Farm as well as you can, hunt heroes followed by 1 – 2 stuner to help you. It’s better if you hunt late game hero.

case 4 : (your team are surpressed)

Don’t stay too long in forest as your move are limited and chance of being killed in forest is high. Push as soon as possible if you can coordinate well with your teammate. It’s better push than you can’t push at all.

III. Bad side of farming in forest too long

1. Lost XP too much.

2. Lost money too. There are better gold in lane. Smaller chance of getting bonus gold by killing enemy hero.

Last hit and lane controlling is the best thing you can do. These two will help you keep your creep stay in same place and you can farm without fear of being killed.

3.Not rich, not get much xp,And not SECURE. Some heroes also farming in forest like you and if you two meet each other, only God know the answer.

IV. Items Watch out For

1. Observer Wards

=> Sight, the best item to prevent gangbang and catch enemy for gangbang too.

2. Anub’seran Watcher

=> Follow you wherever you go, high movement speed and invisible.

3. Rexxar’s Hawk

=> Sight radius > 1000.

4. Flying Courier

=> Give 600 sight. Good for spying enemy.

IV. Most dangerous hero

1. Anubarak

=> Vendetta, Mana Burn, Impale,in lvl 11 he will make Dagon or Necro, output damage dealt up to 1100

2. Meepo

=> more heroes = more problem.

3. Stone Giant

=> Avalanche and toss > 1000 damage

4.Any windwalkers hero.

They can see you, and killsteal you when your hp bar is in red dot.

5. Heroes which usually farming in forest

6. Trap Lovers

=>Dead because of remote mine or land mine, or enemy knows where are you because Lanaya trap means GG

7. Visage’s Revenants

=> Best sight in afternoon, and endless life. 6 revenants means you can’t farm at forest anymore.

8. Spectre and Bloodseeker(WARNING!!WORST ENEMIES)

=> Your HP bar getting low, Strygywyr thirst ON, Spectre haunt, Bloodseeker help to kill you, and in the end, Dead.

V. Candidate heroes which can be dangerous by farming in forest

Bloodseeker will never die in forest and please don’t say that Agility or late game heroes is useless in mid game, they have ability to push and catch enemy, such as Troll’s Endurance Aura, Strifin Dagger’s Mortred, Blink Strike’s Rikimaru, etc.

VI. Set items to Go into Forest

item Should be Bought :

1. Oberserver Wards and Sentry Wards

=> Prevent gangbang .( A must if there are Lanaya and techies in enemy team)

2. Scroll Town Portal

=> Best item to go to home or run away from chaser

Item for terrorblade (still debating)

3. Ring Of Health/Stout Shield/Mask Of Death

=> RoH heal 5 hp/sec. Stout Shiled reduce damage by 30 by 30% chance and Mask of death lifesteal 10% of your attack. Only get Mask of Death for Faceless Void, otherwise Get RoH and Stout Shiled.

4. Some Tango or Bottle

=> Bottle if no -np in game mode (type -gameinfo in game for more info)
=> Additional regen in battle, 8 hp/sec, like a temporary RoH.

5. Flying Courier

=> Bottle Courier is pretty efficient.
