The meta in Dota 2 is not standing still, looking at ESL One Kuala Lumpur, you can notice one trend. is becoming more and more of a priority for professional teams, and soon this effect will spread to pubs as well. It is better to be ready for the appearance of this hero in a large number of matches, or start playing this bloodthirsty berserker yourself. Let's take a look at the Huskar build and how to win on it. All statistics were taken from the site Dotabuff.

Lane selection

In order to reach its full potential - it should go exclusively on the center line. Yes, there are some people who take it on the easy line and on the difficult line, but often it is a very bad option.

Why the midlane?

Because it is very important for Huskar to have a high level and fast starting artifacts. In addition to having a high level, our berserker needs to play first and impose the game on his opponents. Huskar is very weak in the catch-up role.

Choosing artifacts

— What is the optimal starting purchase for Huskar?

At the beginning of the game, it is best for us:

  • Gauntlets Of Strength x3

  • Tango

  • Faerie Fire

  • Observer Ward

— What are the important artifacts for Huskar?

The important artifacts for Huskar are:

  • Armlet Of Mordiggian

  • Heavens Halberd

  • Black King Bar

  • Aghanims Scepter

The first thing we need to do is to buy Armlet of Mordiggian as soon as possible, and the best way to collect it is from Blades Of Attack to successfully lasthit enemy and allied creeps. We buy Boots Of Speed after Armlet and in 70% of games we don't upgrade it. Halberd is also a very good choice of artifact for Huskar, as it gives him very important stats, and the active ability becomes a nice bonus. BKB is also a very important artifact in most matches, but unless the enemies have nasty control and a lot of magical damage, the bar of the king can be ignored. As for the scepter, it will help us to turn off one of the enemy heroes at the beginning of the fight, which with the right targeting can win the fight in seconds.

Good selection of artifacts for late game:

  • Aghanims Shard

  • Assault Cuirass

  • Monkey King Bar

  • Satanic

  • Overwhelming Blink

  • Heart Of Tarrasque

    Ability Selection

    Often, the choice of abilities looks like this

At the first level, we need Inner Fire to successfully lasthit an enemy ranged creep. Talents are learned after all abilities have been learned.

Talent selection

Huskar talents are not particularly useful at level 10, so ignore them and prioritize our abilities. At level 15 it is better to take damage to Buring Spear if you managed to dominate. The rest - as written below.

Good and bad match-ups for Huskar

Huskar plays very well against melee heroes, the unpleasant for us will be heroes that have save abilities or very unpleasant control.

How to win on Huskar

Huskar — dominance hero. In order for the game to end with the fall of the enemy throne, it is important to win the lane and impose the enemy tempo. It is very important to get Roshan, which Huskar has no problem doing with the acquisition of Armlet Of Mordiggian. Do not forget, you must play first, also give instructions to the team when you are going to go to press and fluff the opponent. It is very important not to play too much and remember that every death for Huskar - distances you from victory, look for only favorable exchanges for yourself and do not play relying on luck. Gather information from the map and act on it.

Gameplay -Miracle on Huskar

Watch how a professional player plays the lane stage and what he does in the game.
