Demented Shaman Introduction

Demented Shaman is a probably a character that either gets banned in a draft or used quite a bit. DS's versitality is the main reason why he gets banned. He can snare, heal and basically carry a team on its back in a battle.

Demented Shaman Skills

Entangle - This skill is one of many uses, primarily used for ganking with its slow, or stopping a channel with its dual stun. The skill with first cast a ministun on the target, slow them for a few seconds before stunning them again, afterwards it deals a physical damage over time (dot) to the target for every several seconds and can not be debuffed. My strategy is to level this to 3 and finish it off to 4 in late game.

Arcane Hide - Despite what others may think, this skill is the bread and butter of saving your team or yourself and what makes Demeneted Shaman immensely strong in higher tier games when it is used effectively. This skill protects the target for 5 charges to a maximum total of 100 damage per level of all non-dot dmg from towers, bosses and heroes. So at level 4 it will protect an ally or youself from 400 dmg, that would cut a pyro's ult at lvl 3 in half before magic armor is applied. Simply said, cast this often and on as many people you can.

Healing Wave - I cannot count how many times I have recieved a double kill first blood from this skill. To most this is a healing spell, and that it is, but it bounces from target to target within a small radius. Then it either heals or damages the target depending on enemy or ally. At max level it will bounce between 5 targets doing physical damage! So that swiftblade spinning in the middle of 5 creeps isn't immune to it. Keep this in mind as I have seen many noob casters or Scout say "WTF" after trying to cast their ults on a spinning Swiftblade.

Storm Cloud - The Holy Grail of Ultimates. Storm Cloud either adds armor to your ally's or takes armor away from your enemies of everyone caught in the cloud. This has an increase effect over time. It starts off at 1 for the first second, and for each second the skill lasts it will either increase or decrease it. Storm Cloud has an amazing range on it, and is great for using right before your team runs in since it best works 10+ seconds into it.

Demented Shaman Item Builds

Starting the game with Demented Shaman, buy a courier or if someone else has get wards. Get a few Minor Totem and some mana regen, and support your carry by harrassing the opposition with Entangle and auto attacks. Your first priority should be Nome's Wisdom, followed by Ghost Marchers and Astrolabe. After astrolabe it is time to go big or go home. Get your self either Puzzlebox, Hellflower, Kuldra's Sheepstick. Played effectively this character will make or break a good team.

Strategy

Demented Shaman is a support/babysitter, he does not carry, but he does push lanes very fast with his healing wave. In teamfights he is to stay back out of the action and just constantly heal considering it has a 9 second cooldown, and entagle the people trying to get away, or get to you. Dont forget to start the teamfight off with Storm Cloud. Remember this ulti has a positive effect on your team as well as negative on your foe, so use it even if no enemies are around. Always arcane hide the first guy to go in, then after that protect and keep you carry alive. You are to be the last one out of the teamfight and should not be afraid to die to save your carry. If you can not stomach this game play, do not pick this hero as you will ruin the night of your teammates. Good luck and have fun.

Where to start with Heroes of Newerth?

Some of you may be wondering when you play Heroes of Newerth for the first time, “What are some good ‘easy’ characters I can start out with?” Well look no further. Here I will go over my top three easiest characters to learn with. They are in no particular order.

1. Arachna — Arachna is a pretty straight forward and simple character to play. She has one skill that boosts all ranged damage of you and nearby allies. Another one that temporary slows an enemy upon a hit. Her third skill gets rid of most debuffs and increases armor. Her ultimate is a spiderling that you can cast and forget about. It will slow her enemies down every hit and does a lot of damage. Arachna is easy because her skills do not require a lot of thought in their usage. Her ultimate can be casted and then she can focus elsewhere. It doesn’t take much skill to use her effectively and she is easily mastered after several attempts at playing her. Some item suggestions are Assassin’s Shroud, Elder Parasite, Wingbow, Frostburn. As long as she can stay in the back and keep hitting her opponents she will bring people down quick.

2. Moon Queen — Moon queen has a lot of powerful and very useful skills. Only two of her abilities are toggled by the user, the other two are passive. Her ultimate doesnt require any targeting as it hits random anyone in the area. Her other skill is a stun that is both powerful, has a long range, and is very effective. One of her passive abilities allows her attacks to bounce from target to target. Her other ability is an aura that increases ranged damage of allies. Just like Arachna, Moon Queen requires little thought in how to use her skills effectively. She only has to target her stun and pop her ultimate. The rest takes care of itself. Some items to get are Elder Parasite, Frostburn, Shield Breaker, Geometer’s Bane. Keep her back a safe distance and she will surely dish out the damage with her auto attack. If you want to most effectively use her ultimate, get her in the thick of things and she will end lives in a heartbeat.

3. Magebane — Magebane like Moon Queen, has only two abilities that you must actually actively use. One skill is his teleport ability. That is pretty self explanatory. His ultimate ability does damage to an enemy based on how much mana that person is missing. His aura increases his runspeed. And he has a mana drain ability which does damage based on the mana drained from the target. He has a high survival rate and is very good at chasing down people trying to make a quick getaway. He is also great on casters who have large mana pools. Once they have depleted their mana, Magebane can do massive amounts of damage. He is a pretty simple character to use.

Hopefully this will help those newbies out there. Of course the best way to get better is to experiment with as many characters as you can and find the right fit for you. Now go out there and kill things!

Happy Hunting! -EM

Introduction to Heroes of Newerth Ophelia

I know many people may be wondering, "Who the heck is Ophelia? I have rarely seen her played and I don't know one thing about her!" Well, here is the low-down on the fantastic support character.

Skills:

Nature's Wrath - Ophelia unleashes the powers of nature on a target enemy unit, slowing it. When the effects expire, the target unit will take additional damage equal to a percentage of the damage taken while the effect was active.

Ophelia's Judgment - Ophelia judges a target unit, dealing variable damage to it if it's an enemy, or teleporting it to safety if it's an ally. Instantly teleports units that Ophelia controls

Command - Ophelia takes command of a non-boss NPC's mind, gaining control of it. Units under Ophelia's command gain increased Health, Health regeneration, and Mana regeneration.

Ophelia's Touch - Ophelia's love for living creatures allows her to conjure up powerful healing magic, healing all allied heroes on the map and fully regenerating units under her command.

The skills are pretty self explanatory. Nature's Wrath slows a target and all damage done to that target is increased. This is great at the beginning of a fight or for preventing someone from getting away. Ophelia's Judgment causes damage to an enemy character or sends an allied character back to the spawn, great for saving your allied heroes lives. Command takes control of a non-boss enemy NPC and gives them a boost to life. And Ophelia's Touch heals all controlled NPCs and all allies. This is great for preventing deaths of allies and allowing them to keep in their lane to keep pushing a tower.

Items:

Ophelia is dependent on her mana-regen ability and her life pool. She can be very squishy and she uses mana like it is going out of style. Also her ultimate has a long cool-down which can be reduced by the Staff of the Masters. My suggestion is to get some Talisman of Exile, Nome's Wisdom, Plated Greaves, Astrolabe, and Staff of the Masters. This item combination will make you the perfect support character. You will be granting both life and mana regen. You can heal your allies twice, once with your ultimate and once with Astrolabe. You give your allies a good boost to armor. And then if you have the money go for Whispering Helm, this will allow you to get one more creep.

Creeps:

My perfect trio for creeps is Wolfman Commander (+30% base damage aura) Minotaur Champion (+15 Attack Speed Aura) and Vagabond Leader (+3 Health Regen Aura). This will not only significantly increase your own damage and survivability, but when you get in those fights it will greatly help your allies as well. The damage aura's paired with that of Andromeda, or Moonqueen, or Arachna will make your team incredibly powerful.

Have fun and good luck


-EM

Chrono's skills are all based on the ability to manipulate time, he is an extremely devastating end game hero, due to his unblockable ultimate. He is an easy hero to play as many of his skills provide top end survival skills ( e.g Time Leap). Nevertheless, the positioning, timing and coordination of his ultimate, plays a very important role which can turn the tides of battle.

Spells

Timeleap

Chronos teleports himself through space
and time to a target location. Any nearby
enemies are slowed.
Level 1 : Range 700, 10% Movement slow for 3 seconds
Level 2 : Range 900, 20% Movement slow for 3 seconds
Level 3 : Range 1100,30% Movement slow for 3 seconds

Cooldown: 13 seconds

Note: A very useful survival and pursuing/killing skill, a must have, at least level 1. Use this ability by clicking icon and selecting target location, it works as a blinking mechanism (Magebane flash, Wretched Hag)

Rewind

Chronos steps back through time when damaged,
giving him a chance to avoid the damage entirely.
Level 1 : 10% chance to avoid incoming damage
Level 2 : 15% chance to avoid incoming damage
Level 3 : 20% chance to avoid incoming damage
Level 4 : 25% chance to avoid incoming damage
Mana cost: n/a
Cooldown: 2 seconds

Note: MOST POWERFUL DODGE skill in game, able to dodge any attack or spell, including ultimate's.

Time Freeze

Gives Chronos a chance to deal additional damage
and briefly freeze a unit in time with each attack.
Level 1 : 10% chance to deal 40 magic damage and stun for 1 second
Level 2 : 15% chance to deal 50 magic damage and stun for 1 second
Level 3 : 20% chance to deal 60 magic damage and stun for 1 second
Level 4 : 25% chance to deal 70 magic damage and stun for 1 second
Mana cost: n/a
Cooldown: 1.5 seconds

Note: Stuns the opponent for 1 seconds, at first i thought it was impossible to permanently stun lock someone, however with alot of testing,  it shows that it is possible, not sure how it works, BUT it is possible to stun lock one guy.

Ultimate

Chronofield

Chronos creates a field of energy that exists outside of time.
All units caught inside the field are frozen, incapable of any
actions. Chronos is immune to the rift’s effects and may move freely.
Level 1 :  Range 500 lasts for 3 seconds
Level 2 :  Range 550 lasts for 4 seconds
Level 3 :  Range 600 lasts for 5 seconds
Mana Cost: 150/175/200
Cooldown: 120 seconds
Radius: 400

Chronofield is boosted by Staff of the Master

Note: Usually, the best way to perform , this essential ultimate in team fights is to go by surprise. In other words use the skill Time Leap ( Whilst Hidden in bushes) followed by Chronofield Straight away. it is desirable to catch every single enemy hero inside the CF, as it will reveal invisible units and anything caught in it. However you must be careful NOT to catch your teamates as well, Thus it is good to warn your teammates before performing your ultimate. Also, CF can be used in other ways, such as ( EVEN though you may only catch one opponent, if you cast THE SPHERE in front of the enemy, it will make the other enemies unable to get close to you).

Main ITEMS

Geometer's Bane: I MENTION this item first, cause its quite amazing, don't get it first though. IMAGES CAN WALK AROUND IN YOUR CF (ULTIMATE) ALSO, it stacks with TIME FREEZE ( THEY MAY FIX THIS) OR MAYBE It was Intended, anyways, 3 people makes stun locking INCREDIBLE POWERFUL AND EASY. BASically images can do whatever items you do and passive skills, but cannot use active skills.

Enhanced marchers: great attack speed, moves peed bonus, helps to stun lock.

RiftShard: Crit, massive dammage.

Elder Parasite: Gives bonus attack speed and life STEAL ( MASSIVE ATTACK SPEED AND MOVESPEED BONUS FOR stun lock) esstenial item ( GET THIS ASAP). AT VERY END GAME LEVELS, MIGHT trade for Symbol of RAge. Once you get Elder Parasite, its time to kill. TL in, pop Elder, and hit away, use CF to make it 100 % your kill. Repeat every time ulti cd is up. HF OWNING.

Savage MACE: NEVER MISS EVEN IN NIGHTHOUNDS Smoke. Alot of dmg.

Charged Hammer: might be your second item to get asap, great for farming and killing, complements geometers bane.

This completes 6 slots, HOWEVER PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT ON how BAD THIS GUIDE IS. I WILL GIVE YOU MORE CHOICES IN ADDITIONAL ITEMS.

Additional ITEMS.

WHOEVER IS SCEAMING WHERES WINGBOW: here it is. i put wing bow in addition items because one, he already has the best dodge skill. two, it doesn't stack with his skill, and three, his attack speed is already insane with the above items.

NULLFIRE BLADE: AGAIN WHOEVER IS SCREAMING, GET THIS ITEM IF JEREZIAH IS IN THE OTHER TEAM. if not do whatever the fuk you want, imo dont get it, but if you are gonna complain, go for it.

Once again For fans of RUNED AXE: here it is, i say don't get it cause charged hammer does the job better in terms of damage attack speed and more.

Anyways, that is all for today folks, get the 6 main items above ( WHICH IS INCREDIBLY RARE), and you can 1v5 if you chronofield all 5 in one go. if you chronofield all 3 in one go still possible to 1v5. this is a proved fact, i have done it. its a solid build. Oh almost forgot.

TO DO IT: FIRST go in with time leap. Then ChronoField, Then POP Geo BANE, then HAPPY killing. FOCUS FIRE or NO FOCUS FIRE. as long as our HITTING heroes units, they will all die.

Skill Allocation

This is again a matter of preference, SOME PLAY ReaLLY defensive, and max TIME LEAP and REWIND without getting TIME FREEZE. BUT once again, i am an offensive player. Killing is my style not surviving. Thus....
