Main additions: Changed many hero's visual effects

Many bugs fixed
Invoker's skills cooldown is completely changed.
Phantom lancer's image is now a maximum of 5 instead of the previous 8.
Spirit lance now makes an image, obvious visual change.Doppelwalk invis time is now 8compared to the past when it was 12.
Flask of sapphire water is now changed to Healing salve with a different icon but the healing ability is still 400hp/10secs.

The main change is obviously the visual effects of skills icon and all that.

Favourite zion username

My favourite zion username is Computer (Easy) so if you ever encounter a guy on zion with this user... say HI!!

Anti mage/ Magina/ am

Twin sons to the great Prophet, Terrorblade and Magina were blessed with divine powers: Terrorblade granted with an unnatural affinity with life forces; Magina gifted with energy manipulation. Magina's eventual overexposure to the magics gradually augmented his elemental resistances and bestowed him the unique ability to move faster than light itself. Now, broken by Terrorblade's fall to the dark side, Magina answers the Sentinel's call in a desperate bid to redeem his brother. Every bitter strike turns the Scourge's evil essences upon themselves, culminating in a finale that forces his enemy to awaken to the void within and spontaneously implode. Very hurting hero than with the right items only needs the Mana Break during late game.

Mana Break

Each attack burns mana based on spell level.
Level 1 - 16 mana per hit.
Level 2 - 32 mana per hit.
Level 3 - 48 mana per hit.
Level 4 - 64 mana per hit.
Orb effect.(Care this is orb effect so do not buy items such as M'jolnir for Anti Mage!!
Passive
(Definitely the first skill to max. This skill is combo-ed with Mana Void for super damage)

(Probably the last skill to max but beware!! You will want at least level 1 on this skill so that you can escape/kill easily!)

Spell Shield

Magina channels a powerful warding magic, damping the negative effects of spells.
Level 1 - Reduces magic damage by 10%.
Level 2 - Reduces magic damage by 20%.
Level 3 - Reduces magic damage by 30%.
Level 4 - Reduces magic damage by 40%.
Passive
(The second skill to max would be this if you want to tank Int heroes.)

(One of the best damaging ultimates in the game as you can get up to 4k damage. Maximum damage I have done with this skill is 2.8k damage on Tormented Soul. This skill is combo-ed with Mana Break for best effects, you might want to ask someone with his necronomicon to burn away your opponents mana)

Item Build: 1)Power Treads(Strength) 2)Vanguard 3) Cranium Basher 4)Butterfly 5)Cranium Basher 6)Assault Cuirass

Soul keeper/ Terrorblade/ tb/ sk

Terrorblade is the twin brother of the Anti-Mage. Both of Night Elf descent, Terrorblade was drawn in by the powers of the Undead, plunging deeper into the abyss of no return, growing large, gargoyle-like wings to symbolise his breaking from the Night Elf world. Having mastered the art of image-creation and soul manipulation, he has the ability to transform into a fearsome and terrifying demonic form, obtaining the powers to hurl energy at his opponents. Large moonblades slashing, he is one to fear on the battlefield. Pretty despicable hero once he reaches lvl 6 i have to say.

Level 1 - Images deal 25% damage.
Level 2 - Images deal 35% damage.

Level 3: 107 mana, 150 sec cooldown.
Level 4: 100 mana, 110 sec cooldown.
(This would be the second skill I would recommend you to max as it can be used as a killing skill as well as an escape skill thanks to the hp bonus)


Sunder

Sunder severs the soul from both Terrorblade and a target hero, then exchanges them, carrying part of the units' life forces. The percentage hit points of each unit are switched with the souls. Some hit points must remain on enemy heroes.
Level 1 - Range is 250, 33% hit point minimum.

Level 1: 200 mana, 200 sec cooldown.
Level 2: 100 mana, 120 sec cooldown.
Level 3: 0 mana, 60 sec cooldown.
(This skill is very simple to understand even though the game's description is hard to understand. This skill is simply used when you have very little hp while your opponent has a lot. You will then switch hp with your opponent with your opponent keeping up a percentage of its original hp. This is one of the best skills if you want to get rid of centaur warchief)

Item Build: 1) Power treads ( strength ) 2) Cranium Basher x1 (3) Eye of Skadi 4) Cranium Basher 5) Heart of tarrasque/Manta style 6) Assault Cuirass

Dwarven sniper/DS

Kardel Sharpeye is a testament to his name and race. Using only his finely honed skills of marksmanship and his trusty rifle, he sytematically destroys his opponents from afar. Taking great care to aim for the most vulnerable of areas, he is capable of severely injuring an opponent, and with a little extra time, has been known to simply dispose of an enemy in a single shot. His rifle is equipped with a secondary barrel, capable of launching a short burst of shrapnel at close range, causing massive damage. This hero specialises in long range shots and killng at a extremely far range, getting up to 2500 range. A good ksing hero if you are intrested in taking kills easily without much work.

Skills:

ScatterShot

Fires a ball full of shrapnel into the air. which promptly explodes, showering the target area in explosive pellets, each doing 20-35 physical damage in a 200 area of effect.

Level 2: 120 mana, 13 sec cooldown.
Level 3: 120 mana, 13 sec cooldown.

Level 1 - 30 damage, 25% chance.
Level 2 - 30 damage, 30% chance.
Level 3 - 40 damage, 35% chance.

Passive
( This is probably either the first or second skill to max)

Level 1 - Adds 55 range.
Level 2 - Adds 110 range.
Level 3 - Adds 165 range.

Level 2 - Deals 505 damage at 2000 range.
Level 3 - Deals 655 damage at 2500 range.

Level 1: 175 mana, 30 sec cooldown.
Level 2: 275 mana, 20 sec cooldown.
Level 3: 375 mana, 10 sec cooldown.
(This is the skill which enables you to kill from a nice range up to 2500, even though it is powerful, you must have sight first before using this skill. Another major disadvantage is that it costs a lot of mana for an agility hero)

Item build: 1) Power treads 2) butterfly 3) Eye of skadi 4) Heart of tarrasque 5) Butterfly 6) Any item that you want except orb effects as this will disable your skadi (Linken's sphere recommended from me though)

(FOR HEROES TO USE... CHECK MY BLOG, THOSE ARE THE RECCOMENDED HEROES THAT ARE EASY AND STRONG TO USE!)

Razor/ Lightning revenant

Razor is lightning incarnate. It is a living being, capable only of unleashing it's tremendous electrical power to anything and everything nearby. The only indication of sentience from it is its ability to control its surges, which never seems to actually strike any it would call friend. Like its namesake, it cuts to the bone, with speed and accuracy, sometimes jumping from one thing to another. It's unnatural form gives it speed, and a thirst for blood. It is a force to be reckoned with, and only the strong dare face it. 1 special thing about lightning is that he HURTS so bad if he buys the right items...

Level 1 - Deals 60 damage.
Level 2 - Deals 90 damage.
Level 3 - Deals 120 damage.
Passive

Well this hero is extremely strong and that is why i posted it... Basically... the ultimate skill just does not want you to teleport away when leveling. After dying, when you revive you will see a lightning bolt sorta thing on your head....

ZEUS

Once a deity of unfathomable might, Zeus reluctantly sacrificed his much relished immortality in exchange for the chance to crush the sinister armies of the unholy undead. As his soul crossed into the mortal plane, his omnipotent powers withered greatly, yet not nearly enough to quell this destructive Thunder God's resolve for justice. With sheer precision, he cleanses through the enemy ranks with an impressive mastery of electrical discharge, smiting the fool hardy with formidable bolts of lightning from the heavens above. Ever vigilant in his relentless assault, the Scourge cowers in fear of incurring the fearsome wrath of the Lord of Olympia. Well before I start on the skills, I have to say that Zeus is a very unpleasant sight to behold thanks to its skills.
Skills:

Arc Lightning

Level 2: 325 mana, 120 sec cooldown.
Level 3: 450 mana, 120 sec cooldown.

Well I can only say Zeus is simply fantastic with the skills that he has. Chances of Zeus owning = 80%. Most people would not really like to team with Zeus as their kills might easily be robbed away by its ultimate skill.

Item build: 1)arcane ring 2) bloodstone 3) agahnim scepter x2 5) eye of skadi 6) boots of travel

(note: all the items are not in order)(the previous ones are not in order too)

Axe/ Mogul Khan

In the war of Humans and Orcs that occured long ago many Orcish warriors were corrupted by demonic influence and became tools of blackest darkness. One such warrior was the leader of the Half-Tribe of the Bloodied Axe Clan; Mogul Kahn. Mogul was slain by human Paladins but mysteriously was seen fighting alongside the Scourge around the time Mannoroth started to command the Orcs in the war against Archimonde. The Axe has been revived by demons and uses his reflexes and powerful blows to hunt down and seek out the Sentinels' agile warriors and cut them down to size, even projecting his lust for war onto them.

Well axe is sorta the brother of juggernaut. Pretty bastard hero i gotta say. Packs a punch. Axe is a tanker, murderer, creep farmer, neutral farmer. I've seen a guy using Axe that is lvl 16 when my enemies are only lvl 8... Pretty unbelievable... When you are on zion or battlenet, the chances of you seeing "NBCCB THIS AXE IS FKING JIBAI!!! ALL GANG HIM PLS OR WE LOSE LE!!!" HAHA pretty pathetic... on Zion this will not often happen but on bnet it'll happen more often than you can ever expect.

Item build: 1) vanguard x2 (3) Heart of tarrasque (4) Assault cuirass (5) bloodstone (6) Eye of skadi

Unstoppable Juggernaut

Slicing through armor with the greatest of ease. Whirling, dancing like a devilish, swiping foes with a flick of the wrist. Poetry in motion, slashing enemy upon enemy in the blink of an eye. Yurnero seeks perfection. Seeks to become one with his blade. All to fulfill his destiny as the unstoppable Juggernaut. This hero seems to be a brother with axe (which i will be posting later)

Level 1: 200 mana, 130 sec cooldown.
Level 2: 275 mana, 120 sec cooldown.

Well Juggernaut is well famous thanks to the fact that its extremely powerful with the right items. Omnislash is the most freaked up skill that everybody hates except the user. Same as luna moonfang, if you can isolate your opponents you are better off with this hero. Best combo i ever used was using Blade dance to make the opponent retreat and then Omnislash.


One item that is crucial for juggernaut is probably the battle fury.
This will be carried over by Vladmir offering for the lifesteal and damage aura.

goblin techies

Devilishly clever, the goblin techies, despite their small physical presence, are a force to be reckoned with. In line with their goblin brethren, the techies have the skill of laying mines in the earth, invisible to the naked eye. Also, after extensive training with the Orcish voodoo priests of Kalimdor, the Techies are adept at laying paralysis-inducing traps along with their potent explosives.

Well basically for techies.... there are 2 ways of using this hero. one is mine bastard while the other is suicide bastard. to be a mine bastard, you will need a big sum of mana and to be sure that there are no wards nor gems. suicide bastard is for early games where u max your suicide first. you pratically jump in front of your opponent and boom yourself. I've gotten triple kills with this move as compared to the mines which has a high chance of your mines being destroyed by enemies.

Comment: The spell which makes the Lich fearsome as a nuker, it is used in conjunction with Frost Nova to repeatedly bombard the Sentinel with ice blasts. This spell requires you to sacrifice a friendly creep to regain mana based on its remaining hit points. Therefore it is best to select a full-HP Ghoul (scourge melee creep) and kill it preferably before it is doing battle so that you can regain as much mana as possible. We will discuss more aspects of this spell later on.

Chain Frost (C)
Releases a jumping breath of frost that can jump up to 7 times. Frost will bounce back and forth between units that are within 750 range.
Level 1 - Deals 280 damage per hit.
Level 2 - Deals 370 damage per hit.
Level 3 - Deals 460 damage per hit.
Level 4 - (with Aghanim Scepter) - Deals 580 damage per hit. Mana Cost: 200/ 325 / 500/ 500Cooldown: 145 / 115 / 60 / 60

This skill does not have level 4... the "level 4" is only auto added after you buy agahnim's scepter. Unbelievably strong and short cooldown, this skill has the ability for players to own multiple players quick when used together with frost nova.


item build: 1) agahnim scepter 2)mekansm 3) bloodstone 4) boots of travel 5) refresher orb 6) guinsoo scepter of mystic

Luna moonfang / Moon rider

Your primary attribute is agility so buy items and recipes containing this attribute.
Try this, start with Ring of Regen then Wraith Band and Boots of Speed then a mask of death followed by a helmet of iron will (this makes helmet of the dominator).
After this all should be pretty easy and you will want to consider buy a manta style if you do not want the lifesteal anymore (consisting of diffusal blade, vitality booster)(diffusal blade consists of :robe of the magi, blade of alacrity and the recipe itself) I will explain why u should buy this item.

Lucent beam- lvl 1: 75 damage
lvl 2: 150 damage
lvl 3 :225 damage
lvl 4 :300 damage

Moon glaive- lvl 1 : 2 targets hit
lvl 2 : 3 targets hit
lvl 3 : 4 targets hit
lvl 4: 5 targets hit
(this is the main reason why would i recommend you to buy manta style and helmet of dominator...)(with helmet of dominator your life would nearly be maxed forever with the lifesteal... you can also choose to destroy your lifesteal and switch to mana burn with manta style you can take out all your opponents mana which is pretty irritating...) (manta style also grants the ability to form 2 images which last 10 seconds. This will help to grab your opponents mana away.)

Lunar Blessing [Level 4] An aura that gives friendly nearby units a 27% bonus damage to their ranged attacks. This is also a passive spell/aura that needs leveling early.
This and Moon Glave will be your primary focus as the damage will multiply fast and you will farm better naturally.

Eclipse: This skill relies on lucent beam for damage. It is like a multiply of lucent beams in 4's 7's 9's if your lucent beam is maxed, the damage for each beam will be 300, adding up to a total of 1200 damage if 4 beams (the maximum amount of beams that can be hit on an enemy) this is extremely useful if you have the ability to isolate your opponents early.

I've seen a professional get 18/2 k/d on zion before... that is why this hero is extremely famous and easiest to master...

Priestess of the moon

THE name itself sounds odd enough... however no doubt.... the power of this hero... is unbelievable. this hero is more of an early gamer, however, if you buy the right items, u will be able to thrash out other heroes in the late game. This is an agility based heroes meaning more agility = more damage. (you might want to add some strength/agility items such as sange and yasha as it will help A LOT) (sadly the dota main web is down so no pics for this hero) (the descriptions will be quick but exact though)


First skill- Starfall- summons the power of the stars falling within an area around you. An enemy of yours has a 60% chance of getting hit again once if it is within 200 aoe of the cast area.
Level 1- 90 damage
Level 2- 150 damage
Level 3- 230 damage
Level 4- 300 damage

Second skill- Elune arrow- Shoots an arrow which will stun 1-5 seconds depending on how far u shot it. (this arrow must be aimed perfectly for a nice shot or you will either miss or hit creeps)
Level 1- 90 damage
Level 2- 150 damage
Level 3- 230 damage
Level 4- 300 damage

Third skill- Leap- Jumps a distance depending on the level of the skill. After the jump POTM will gain attack and move speed depending on the level of the skill for 10 seconds.(Super skill for running away and attacking an enemy fast)
Level 1- 350 distance
Level 2- 450 distance
Level 3- 550 distance
Level 4- 650 distance

Ultimate skill- Moonlight Shadow- Turns Nightshade and all allied heroes invisible. If Invisiblity is broken, it gets restored after the fade time during the shadow duration.
Level 1 - Lasts 7 seconds. 2.5 second fade time.
Level 2 - Lasts 9 seconds. 2 second fade time.
Level 3 - Lasts 11 seconds. 1.5 second fade time.

The recommended start build is probably 4 ironwood branches and a ring of regeneration.( if you were in a 5v5 match with you choosing(not random)Priestess of the moon)Best build would be 1) Power treads 2) Sange and Yasha 3) assault cuirass 4) Heart of tarrasque 5) Butterfly x2

Combo attacks would be 1)Elune arrow from the forest 2) leap towards the enemy 3) starfall 4) chase and shoot

Thats all for potm!
