Starting items

Bottle

Early game

Logger's hatchet, Steamboots

Mid Game

Frostburn, Abyssal Skull, Whispering Helm (+ Puzzlebox is VERY GOOD for Tundra)

Late Game

Shrunken head, Behemoth's Heart, Mock of Brilliance

Strategy:

-If enemy has plenty of HP try to lower their HP first with a Piercing Shards or two (you should bring an ally anyways) Remember to attack with pig constantly as long as the enemy is near the waves. Position your hawk around a reasonable way of escape for the enemy hero which could in effect be a way for their allies to counter-attack.

-Start with Avalanche, and order yourself and the pig to attack the hero. At level 1, Avalance will give you 3 seconds to attack the hero, that's not as good as a level 3 Avalanche but it's still plenty of time to get some hits down from you and the pig or any other allies. Use Piercing Shards as soon as you get near them to start attacking. If they run and you feel you may die if you chase with your pig, use Piercing Shards again.

-Always start your combo with Avalanche. This skill offers very effective side effects that would be otherwise be useless. Avalanche not only stuns the target but also slows all units around the path of the roar. If you use it as a finishing move you would be wasting the precious 4 second stun.

-Use Piercing Shards to your advantage. When ganking, or planning a kill, go behind the trees, use Piercing Shards to chop through the trees and arrive unexpected. Surprise is a key element for Tundra.

-Always have a hawk near you or at a rune. Either roaming/patroling a forest near your location or scouting escape/help routes from your enemies. Try to position this so you can see the runes as well. Move your hawk as you move.

New hero Tundra this week and new features

2010-06-09T01:37:00.004+03:00

S2 has just announced that new hero Tundra with his two pets will be released fully by the end of the week. By their own words Tundras pets will help him gain vision and slow enemies.

S2's Maliken is also hinting for new DotA imports, Admiral possibly?

"we continue to bring all your favorite heroes to the game, ARGGG matey. *hint hint*"

Good news doesn't end here, another feature "Report A player" function is on the way. Personally for me this is a feature I've been waiting for. Perhaps we've now got a counter for nerd-kid rage?

"One last hint of a new feature we're putting the polishing touches on is a "Report A Player" function in game. We have set up a system of rules for conduct and will strictly enforce those rules through the community policing itself. We will mercilessly clean up the behavior of our community. The trend of griefing and abusing players will stop through player reports, review of game logs and replays, and suspensions and bans for inappropriate behavior."

This stuff is worth waiting.

Starting items

Early game

Logger's hatchet, Power Supply, Steamboots, Ring of Sorcery

Mid Game

Shrunken Head, Savage Mace

Late Game

Elder Parasite, Behemoth's Heart

Strategy:

- Activating Instability when you use your Ultimate is a very strong combo for 400 Magic + 400 True damage!
- After using storm spirit run up to your target and smack him with instability. Then pound him and finish off with your Ulti (can be caculated precisely since its true damage). Save Grapple to cancel chanelling spells.
- Unfortunately you can't do anything else but this.
- Btw, i don't recommend using instability with grapple, as it is very easy to miss with that, wasting 2 spells.
- You can also use Instability defensively. When you have 3 Charges and activate it, it will ignore all slow effects, allowing you to escape.

Early game

Power Supply, Post Haste

Mid Game

Frostfield Plate, Null Stone

Late Game

Behemoth's Heart, Frostwolf's Skull

Strategy:

- In the beginning you should usually not put Take Cover on autocast and use it manually to dodge spells. Later you can put it on autocast. Unless you have very high APM to actually use it effectively.
- Shellsurf, Teleport -> Song of the Sea -> Kelp Field is a very strong gank combo starting in midgame.
- If you have a Portal Key you can use Take cover to let the 3 second cooldown on PK wear off and then blink away safely.
- Try to initiate next to the caster heroes to silence them asap.
- Bubbles is very flexible and fits most lineups and thus is most of the time a solid pick.

Early game

Logger's hatchet, Power Supply, Ghost Marchers, Ring of Sorcery

Mid Game

Shaman's Headdress, Frostfield Plate

Late Game

Behemoth's Heart, Null Stone

Strategy:

- One of your biggest strengths is to gank a hero with your minions then instantly go on and push that lane with the remaning minions. This puts extreme pressure on the other team and is very effective with Plated Greaves and Abyssal Skull.
- Pick up corpses even when you reached the cap. They will still give you 25 HP each!
- Regurgitate can be used as a cheap heal. With Corpse Conversion on level 4 it will regenerate 150 HP from those 6 Corpses for just 100 Mana.
- You can move while casting regurgitate. So you can activate it and run after an enemy to catch up / let your minions catch up and slow him further.
- Always try to get at least 40 Charges before using your ultimate.

Late Game

Behemoth's Heart, Shieldbreaker

Strategy:

- Your ganking prime time will be after you reach lvl 6, first use uproot, then use Rotten grasp from the woods, use clearcutting through and willowmake the crap out of them. If enemy does not die from autohit, then oakbolt(uproot throw) and autohit again.

- Clearcutting is your main escape tool

- Rotten Grasp has 1300 range, use it for your benefit!

- Use uproot's throw to slow your enemies.

Early game

Mid/Late Game

Ghost Marchers, Staff of the Master, Behemoth's Heart

Strategy:

- You have to hit with your Ultimate in every teamfight!
- With Portal Key: Position yourself outside of the bulk of your team - preferably hiding behind trees or on higher ground - but in range to blink in. Then: Activate Ulti > Wait 2 seconds > Blink in the center of the enemy team > Walk a bit to position yourself perfectly while Eruption continues > Lava Surge to stun/kill/escape (> Steam Bath).
- Without Portal Key: Lava Surge in > Ulti (Opponents will try to stop your channeling though!) OR Ulti > Wait 2 seconds > Lava Surge in (Safer but no guarantee to hit in time in the right place!)
- Once you have Volcanic Hammer level 2+ you can Lava Surge a Creep Wave, hit the ranged creep and then hit one melee creep for a full wave of gold.

Early game

Logger's hatchet, Whispering Helm, Steamboots

Mid Game

Shrunken Head, Insanitarious

Late Game

Daemonic Breastplate, Behemoth's Heart, Riftshards

Strategy:

- Your job is to initiate battles with Sword Throw and Possession and let your team follow.
- When farming your ancient stacks use Sword Throw on cooldown and also don't be afraid to use your Ultimate. It has low cooldown and the splash helps a great deal, especially if you happen to get 3 dragon camps.
- Keep Enchanted Flames active as soon as you get Whispering Helm. The lifesteal counteracts the damage you take. Whenever you drop below 25% hp in team fights, switch to Life Essence and machine-gun you life back up. You are very, very hard to kill in Possession form with Hellbourne Zeal maxxed out.
- Remember you can use Sword Throw to escape ganks. Throw the Sword into the Forest, blink and TP out.

Early game

Mid/Late Game

Shieldbreaker, Behemoth's Heart, Portal Key, Daemonic Breastplate

Strategy:

- Flight makes you one of the best TP- and Counter-Gankers. Always carry a Homecoming stone and be ready to teleport-gank the other lanes.
- Focus on your farm during midgame. Your usefulness will skyrocket once you get Shrunken Head.
- Try to have a stunning/slowing babysitter with you (Demented or Witchslayer for example). This will create enormous lane domination for a carry/babysit lane!
- Always remember that your ultimate will reveal the position of the unit; also on otherwise invisible heroes. Use it on fleeing enemies to prevent them from juking you.

-You are support/semi-tank!

-Fire shield removes slow and other debuffs

-As a support on teamfights don't use cauterize on enemies, just heal your buddies!

Strategy:

- You're alway the first hero to go in!
- Hellfire > Ulti > Wall of Mummies preferably on casters to take them out asap and prevent them from pulling off any channeled abilites or spells with casting time.
- Keep map and rune control (Wards!) to keep your bottle filled and ensures you to roam/gank even longer. This means you have to buy Wards from time to time in pub-games.

Early game

Abyssal Skull, Steamboots, Shrunken Head

Mid/Late Game

Insanitarius, Behemoth's Heart, Brutalizer, Daemonic Breastplate

Strategy:

- Read the Section for Core items to understand the use of Whispering Helm. This makes Warbeast actually useful before he spent 30 minutes in the jungle.
- After obtaining Whispering Helm don't stick to the jungle. Go gank and help out. In the downtimes you can still farm the jungle of course.
- In case you were wondering, you can still solo Kongor at around level 9-10 even without Abyssal Skull. Just get 2 Health Potions and use them while your Dogs tank.
- Remeber to dominate an additional creep whenever your helm is ready. A Skeleton King along with 2 Minotaurs around the 25 Minute mark will make you pretty much auto-win every 1vs1 fight.

Strategy:

1. Tidal Pull will be very good depending on who you are laning with. Just run alongside enemy to slow them.

2. Buy the Portal Key as soon as possible!

3. Ultimate (Whirlpool) is your bead and butter. Always be aware of how much mana you need for ultimate + teleport. REMEMBER: You can trigger the ult by pushing the key again to suck people before the time has ended.

4. After you get portal key and items for survivability (shaman's headdress, behemoth's heart), get support items.

Early game

Mid Game

Sacrificial Stone

Late Game

Frostfield Plate, Barrier Idol, Behemoth's Heart

Strategy:

Electric Shield + Energy Absorption allows you to farm creep waves very quickly. Use this to get your SacStone asap!
- You can remove a variety of buffs and debuffs with Cleansing Shock. At the start of a match take a couple of second to think about which different spells you are able to cleanse considering your current opponents.
- The most important Buffs/Debuffs to remove include: Protective Charm (Jeraziah), Sol's Blessing (Jeraziah), Corrupted Conduit (Corrupted Disciple), Poison Spray (Slither), Flaming Hammer (Blacksmith), Ice Imprisonment/Tundra Blast (Glacius), Death Boil/Unholy Shackles/Life Void (Hellbringer), Haunt (Hag), Contagion (Plague Rider), Snot (Armadon), Roots (Keeper), Swarm (Pesti), Brute Strength (Hammerstorm), Dark Blades (Dark Lady), Zeal (Dark Lady), and some I forgot
- Looking at this list you see that you are an excellent counter to Jereziah, Hellbringer, Dark Lady and Hammerstorm. Strongly consider picking Electrician when playing against one of those heroes.
- Also note that Cleansing Shock deals 600/800/1000 Magic damage to enemy summoned units. Malphas has 900/1200/1500 HP.

Mid/Late Game

Post Haste, Barrier Idol, Staff of the Master, Behemoth's Heart

Strategy:

Getting the Hooks off can be very hard and requires a lot of practice. If you have problems hitting them, try running up to the enemy, activating decay and hooking them as they try to flee. It works pretty good.
- You can activate decay even when you are casting your Ultimate. It will not interrupt the channeling.
- You can chop down certain trees to create a nieche in the forest where you can hook and block the enemy hero so they can't escape even without you using devour.

- You can't do much early game. Stay in your lane and farm. Don't charge on enemies, it is very dangerous to do early game! Your priority is to stay a live.
- Use stampede to save you the TP gold if you want to move back to your lane (charge a creep from the fountain/from another lane).

- With the slow of level one flick you are not guaranteed to land your cannonball. Try to anticipate where the enemy is running or wait a second for him to start running before you cannonball.
- With level 3+ flick you are pretty much guaranteed to land cannonball if queued after flick.
- When ganking a lane use flick/cannonball on one hero then switch to the other hero and face smash him while your team mates finish off both heroes.
- Cannonball can be used as an escape skill. But don't use it to just "blink" away as you will be stunned after you land. Use it to jump up/down cliffs or into the forest where the enemy can't reach you.
