>>> My Skill Build <<<

Earthshock

- Quite a good skill to slow enemies.
- I max this after I had maxed Overpower and Fury Swipes.

Overpower

- The first skill that I will max.
- Very great in dealing damage.
- Great combo with Fury Swipes.

Fury Swipes

- One of the strongest Orb effect in DotA.
- I will max this after I had maxed Overpower.

Enrage

- Not a bad ultimate.
- It cost no mana and has short cooldown.
- Sometime I use it to farm.
- I learn it whenever I can. (level 6, 11, and 16)

Bonus Attributes



I start adding this after I max all my skills.

>>> My Item Build <<<

Power Tread (PT)



Boot of Travel (BoT)

- Either PT or BoT is good for Ulfsaar.
- If rich, get BoT, or else, just get PT.

Wraith Band



Bracer

- I get Wraith Bands and Bracers at early game.
- They help quite a lot in early game.

Vanguard



- Helps Ulfsaar a lot by tanking damages.
- Also has slightly combo with Enrage since it boosts HP.

Kelen's Dagger of Escape

- Good for Ulfsaar to kill enemy.
- Also a great tool for escaping.

The Butterfly

- Most people get HoT instead of Butterfly.
- I prefer Butterfly since it boost 60 damage for all time, and also increases attack speed by 60%.
- The evasion effect is great too.

Heart of Tarrasque (HoT)

- Great combo with Enrage since it boost HP greatly.
- Boost the survivability of Ulfsaar too.




Sange and Yasha (SnY)



- Orb effect does not stack.
- But its great in boosting movement speed, damage, HP and attack speed.

>>> Why I do not get other items <<<

1. Monkey King Bar (MKB)?
- MKB's mini bash has reverse combo with Fury Swipes.
- It is better not to get this item.

2. Buriza-do Kyanon?
- Buriza's critical effect has reverse combo with Fury Swipes.
- Again advised not to get this item.

3. Lothar's Edge?
- Well, cost benefit wise, it is better to get Kelen's Dagger.

4. Black King Bar (BKB)?
- Yeah I do get it if my opponents has some disablers.

5. Battle Fury?
- Sometimes I do get this.
- It helps in farming.

>>> How I play <<<

- In the past, this hero is my worst hero.
- I always lose (90%) when I use Ulfsaar.
- That time I always max Earthshock before Overpower.
- It is a wrong way to play I guess.
- After I changed my build style to the one above, I do really well with Ulfsaar.
- Ok, here is my play style with my new build...
- I start with a Boot of Speed and some Tango.
- I will get my Stout Shield at top and bottom lane's new secret shop.
- Normally I backstab and successfully kill the enemy hero who is in my lane.
- The combo is, first, I hide in the forest.
- Then I cast Overpower, walk to the back of my enemy and activate Enrage.
- 5 attacks in short period of time (thanks to Overpower) and if I already have Earthshock, I will use it after the 5 attacks from Overpower.
- If enemy isnt dead yet, I will chase him and use Kelen's Dagger (if I already have it).
- Then again I attack (must attack first, to refresh the duration of Fury Swipes) and cast Earthshock.
- This hero is the best Roshan killer.
- I normally kill Roshan at level 11 and then keep hunting Roshan when it revives.
- The combo is, I use Overpower before I reach Roshan.
- Start attacking and let Roshan stun me.
- I only activate my Enrage after I got stunned, so not to waste the Enrage effect.
- Do not use Overpower immediately after waking from stun. Or else you will lose the cumulative damage from Fury Swipes.
- Note that, I normally have Vanguard and Power Tread before I hunt Roshan.
