HERO GAME PLANI reach the target quickly and finish a short engagement as Fury Swipes builds up damage.
With each swipe of his claws, Ursa increases his target's vulnerability to his next attack. Capable of briefly increasing how swiftly he can strike, and able to slow down nearby prey, he quickly tears apart his enemies.
My recommendation is a starting point. We choose another position together with the team and for its needs.
I need protected farm, my item window and damage on important targets.
This is an editorial starting plan based on hero mechanics. It is not presented as a match I have already tested or a popularity ranking.
Here is my initial plan: I do my role's job first, then choose the items the team needs. I adapt the order and expensive purchases to the opponent.
Help maintain close contact and pass through groups of units.
Speeds up wave and jungle clearing for a melee hero; an investment in farm before expensive fighting items.
Changes the entry angle and lets me reach a target quickly. Damage taken can prevent its use.
Provides a window for my actions against eligible magical damage and disables. I check effects that pierce the protection.
Adds a chance to stun on attack, making it harder for the target to get out of melee range.
Abyssal Blade ↗Provides a targeted disable when slows and attacks are no longer enough.
Aghanim's Shard ↗Unlocks or upgrades Earthshock. The exact effects are shown below in the abilities section.
Satanic ↗Helps recover health through attacks during its active window; without access to a target, it is not a guaranteed save.
I do not assign one ‘correct’ minute to every purchase. I look at my gold, the next fight and the problem: am I missing mana, target access, control or protection? If an expensive slot will arrive too late, I get a useful answer earlier.
