Guide how to play for Slark in Dota 2.
Beginning of game.
At the beginning of the game buy a standard survival kit: Stout Shield, 3 Iron Branch and Tango. Together shield (Stout Shield) you can try Quelling Blade, if your lasthit limps. According to Hyde, the best choice clarka in terms layna will be mid — you are a ganker, this hero is extremely important to quickly obtain the necessary items and experiments.
The first item of this guide will be Bottle. Ask supports to take care of the courier, mider does not have to waste time to get their items. After botla (Bottle) we will collect Power Treads and put the attribute on the force, because 150 health in any case is more important than 8 damage, especially for the hero-Dodger. After take Orb of Venom-if enemy not died after combo Dark Pact + Pounce, we would still not would give him escape expense of slowdown with this artifact.
On mid, after obtaining the second level and studying Dark Pact and Pounce, we can behave aggressively with the opponent and even try to kill him, Slark is very strong both in the initial stage of the game and in the leitheim. Also an important point in the guide is a permanent control of the runes for dominating Clarke on line we must deny the enemy’s ability to regenerate health and mana. After receiving the sixth LVL and ultimate of Slark can easily determine the location of the wards from the enemy. To do this, we must keep in the inventory Sentry Ward and monitor the positive effect of our Ulta. If effect gone missing, and enemies nearby there is no-nearby is worth enemy ward, are posing sentri (Sentry Ward) and depriving adversary reviews of maps destroying his Observer Ward.
The midgame.
Now Slark can even more effectively cope with several enemies. For the best efficiency, in this guide we will take Skull Basher, stunning will not be superfluous. Black King Bar is the item of first importance for any Kerry — Dark Pact won’t be able to avoid disables, especially if the enemy has enough of them.
In this guide on the slot in DotA 2 we will show an alternative itembild. Here we after starting hyphenated being Shadow Blade, with which get the speed attacks and damage, and that most importantly, an additional inviz and opportunity otregenit health directly in battle. Next, we will also collect Skull Basher and Black King Bar. In this itembuild has a drawback — if you fail to implement Shadow Blade, by the late game you will have a useless artifact in your inventory, because opponents are sure to be Gem of True Sight.
Tactics in the middle of the game is simple – use combo Pounce + Dark Pact, if the enemy is still alive, then catch up with Ulta or Shadow Blade and finish.
Late game.
In the late game we will dress Slark based on the situation. But first, following the guide, improve basher (Skull Basher) to Abyssal Blade.
Slark already has the necessary damage, and now he needs to increase the attack speed. Here you should choose between Butterfly and Mjollnir. The first item will help better conduct autoattacks and add a chance to evade, and the second is similar to the attack boost, but will also give AoE damage in the form of an autoattack trigger.
Monkey King Bar is a great item if the hero already has a high rate of attack speed, which also eliminates the chance of a miss on the enemy. Eye of Skade will give slar everything he needs-a huge booster and a strong slowdown of movement and attack.
In teamfight, we focus on enemy supports, and then deal with carry. Ultimate can prozhat immediately if a high probability focus on Clarke, and as a consequence useless death. Before the start of leitheim, we could afford to go rogue and gank alone, but now we are much easier to catch, despite all our protective artifacts and escapes.
