III. Strategy

III.1 Early Game

Get 3 Tango + Stout Shield. You have to stay in jungle at least until level 6.

Stout shield helps you to block damage and combined with Kraken shell, i think there should be no serious damage can go through your armor in early game. You can see my jungle guide to farming in forest here. You should go into creep camp 10 and 7 only if you’re sentinel and go to creep camp 4 and 2 if you’re scourge. Try creep pulling if you can do so, if both of the easy camp still empty, then help your lane to carry your teammate.

Get Perseverance to Stay in forest longer and help other lane with Ravage or Gush.

This is a good start for you in level 6/7.

III.2 Middle Game

Gush work well with gank. Ravage deals massive damage in huge area, about 1150. Get Power Tread/BoT if you can manage your money. Save it for Dagger to initiate battle.

OR

III.3 Late Game

Be a tanker and get your Assault Cuirass. You’ll swinging around in the field in a short of time. Target Item :

Get battlefury to make enemies confuse whether your attack is Anchor Smash or Battlefury cleave.

Alternative Item :

- Guinsoo : Hex, help with ganking. Reduce damage come from dps hero

- Refresher orb : Dual ravage, free stun 4.50 sec, but this is wasting item.

- Radiance : AoE anchor smash combine with this = suck

- Battlefury : Explained

- Satanic : Lifesteal + Tanking Item

IV. Worst Enemy And Favorite Friend

Friend : ANY OTHER AoE Disable

Mass disable = mass death

Enemy : DPS hero.

I don’t think you can handle those hero.

V. Conclusion

- ALWAYS come as initiator.

- Tank tank tank. Get HoT.

- DPS item is suitable for you. So use it.
