The Tanking Satan Sladar

Type 2 : The Tanking Satan Sladar


Good build if your team lacks a tank, also gives you great activatable powers for tough situations, also use this if its your first time with slardar and u have trouble with surviving.


- A tank's beloved early game item, regardless of the late game items you will get, a bracer is a must.



- You're a melee hero, and bound to get some harassment early game, use one at 50% to avoid getting killed.

Now your starting gold (5v5 game) is all spent. get to yer lane!


- U'll notice how annoying it is to be real slow, probably gonna miss a kill or 2. Get boots of speed on ur 1st trip back to the fountain.
(You can get this before instead of bracer)


-It's called the "Tanker" build eh?




-With no S&Y you need extra speed to make sprint max ms, if you don't care that much about speed then just get treads.The teleport ability only makes you at different places faster, so you have sprint & teleport to be anywhere at anytime.


-No MoM needed now, tank remember?




-[Reason for getting this item]



-The armlet is just great. In the previous build I couldnt incude it as the -30hp/sec would be actually a thing to worry about, but as a tanker with lifesteal it almost matches your regen.


-Like Balanar, you are weak at farming massive pushes very fast. (unlike axe, juggernaut, Invoker, and other heroes that have imba aoe spells) So radiance is recommended for farming like hell, you can choose to get it earlier as it really helps farming for the rest of the build with ease. Also a damage item hehe..


-Another heart would be overkill, so just reaver is good to evolve HoD into this beauty.
(Unholy frenzy is IMBA!!)


End items :



Very very nice build, now u're invunerable to creeps and very hard to kill for heros with 4.5k hp WITHOUT activating the armlet which gives an extra 25 strength. Well we're done with the item builds let's head off to strategy.






I didn't want to say this before in the builds as it's common.
Both builds are way too much money to spend, but you should have it, ive done it.. not impossible.
The bracer in each build can be sold off and replaced with a skadi.
(S&Y should be sold for skadi or maybe there's a way to arrange in inventory to just remove maim)
its a good item for boosting everything, and the cold attack makes you un-escapeable,
Or aegis if you're the most important one on your team.
BattleFury is also a good option for the damage and cleave,
Depending on the situation.
(No BattleFury if you have radiance.)

-S&Y gives great buffs' it gives IAS, damage and the MS you need to be max ms when sprinting.


-Complete Strength treads.

- Suppose you are chasing Razor... he's not that weak so the chase goes longer, Suddenly venge pops out, BKB bitchez! without it u are either forced to run away or die. Not mentioned in the tank build because you will be able to shake off any damage with all that str.



-Even more IAS! and the armor decrease combined with amplify is -20 armor.

- Luxury to boost your hp.

End items :

At this point you should be unstoppable, chasing with no fear of disables or anything, maim ensures getting the kill. There will be no escaping you.

Slardar - The Slithereen Guard-Review

Introdution

After a millennium of being trapped under the raging waters of the Maelstrom, Slardar rose from its chaotic depths with his brethren to serve the mighty demon lord, Illidan Stormrage.

Fanatically devoted to his cause, this Naga fought valiantly along his side until he succumbed to fatal wounds in the heat of battle. Salvation finally seemed within grasp - that is until his fate became intertwined with the grim reach of the Lich King.

Reincarnated as a soulless beast without emotion, Slardar tears through the enemy lines with inhuman speed, striking them out cold with mighty blows, undeterred in his quest to fulfill Nerzhul's every whim.

My Opinion

Before I played bnet at all, I played DotA in local games. I discovered how to play Slardar on my own, created my own item/skill build & Strategy.

I didn't even know that the forum existed..
It was really a shock to see such a good hero be used so badly on bnet, so I decided to write this guide. Let's talk about Slardar, I thought all str heroes were purely tanks when I was a DotA noob (we all were at some point), but Slardar is more of an early damage dealer WITH a nice base str and str gain to support his "rambo"... his skills give great ganking potential if used correctly, which isn't really that hard.

Hero stats overview :
• 300 MoveSpeed
• 21 Strength +2.8
• 17 Agility +1.9
• 15 Intelligence +1.5

Leaving you in the end (no items or attribute bonus) with: 88 Str 62 Agi 51 Int


Skill Description

Sprint

Slardar increases his movement speed dramatically, but takes 10% bonus damage.
Lasts 25 seconds.

Level 1 - Increases speed by 10%.
Level 2 - Increases speed by 20%.
Level 3 - Increases speed by 30%.
Level 4 - Increases speed by 40%.

Cooldown: 45 seconds at all levels.
Manacost: 50 at all levels.


Sprint is one of the best skills in dota which can really make your enemies hate/fear you if used correctly.



Slithereen crush


Slardar slams the ground, stunning and damaging nearby enemy land units.
Slows enemy units by 20% for 2 seconds afterwards.

Level 1 - 50 damage, 1 second stun.
Level 2 - 75 damage, 1.5 second stun.
Level 3 - 100 damage, 2 second stun.
Level 4 - 150 damage, 2.5 second stun.

Cooldown: 8 seconds at all levels.

Level 1: 80 mana
Level 2: 95 mana.
Level 3: 105 mana.
Level 4: 115 mana.



Needless to say, this skill is great. Not many heros have an AoE stun that good. It's your bread and butter and is to be maxed as soon as possible and used to its full poetential. It's an offensive spell and good escape mechanism with Crush&Sprint combo.
Also your only quick farming skill.


Bash
Gives a chance that an attack will do bonus damage and stun an opponent for 1 second.

Level 1 - 10% chance per attack.
Level 2 - 15% chance per attack.
Level 3 - 20% chance per attack.
Level 4 - 25% chance per attack.

Passive
One of the sexiest bashes ever. I still like barathrum's bash but its only 17% or something.. its 25% chance that your attack will stun for 1 second, combined with a good IAS item its too good to be true.


Amplify Damage



Amplifies physical damage against enemy units by reducing their armor.


Also reveals visible and invisible foes.

Level 1 - 5 armor penalty.
Level 2 - 10 armor penalty.
Level 3 - 15 armor penalty.

Cooldown: 10 seconds at all levels.
Manacost: 25 mana at all levels.

Your key to doing uber damage from early to late game. It's useful in stand-off's with other melee heros to give you the edge or just making the poor Int hero ur gonna gank even more vunerable and do nearly twice the damage on his already low armor. The more fun use is revealing invis heroes that rely on their invisibility to survive (Clinkz, Gondar, Rikimaru, etc.) and keeping an eye on your enemies in the lane so they dont slip away and gank a teammate without you knowing.
