Top 5 Mistakes to avoid in order to get better at Dota Underlods (beginners Guide )

Hakunah matata every one !

I am new here in Dota fire. I knew about it because of the tournament. Sadly i wasn't fast enough to register. Anyhow the Dota underlord thread seems to be empty so i decided to share with you guys my top 5 mistakes to avoid in order to improve in Dota underlords. I hope you will like it !

For the people that don't feel like reading through threads. Here is a youtube video i made about the subject ( altough i recommend you read the post, just to laugh at my stupid writing mistakes)

1 : Stop trying to win when you have no lvl 2 + good synergy

At the start of the game , You should either be Win streaking Or lose Streaking and nothing in between , Their is literally nothing stoping you from analysing your oponnents boards , your board and figuring out if you can beat them or not. As a rule of thumb , If you do not get a lvl 2 by round 4-5 Just go for a lose strick , You'll be better of Trust me. Health is a ressource so use it to leverage your economy to the mid game , it is best to take a small 40 Hp loss in the first 10 rounds , than to find yourself lose streaking in round 25, where the damage is way higher.

Also Don't Spend Gold leveling up Before the mid game , unless you are going for a win streak.




2-Stop Rerolling Before 50 Gold

Don't worry about Board control in the early Game! It doesnt Matter believe me. Your opponents that are going for rerolls are going to have stronger boards , that is true. All you have to do then is to lose streak ... The gold they use for rerolling Disapears into thin air , yours however is safely kept , generating That sweet sweet interest Gold. Gold in this game is the ultimate ruler, Only it will decide wheter you are going to be losing or Wining your games. So for starters , focus mainly on Your gold Management Game.

If you need to sell a unit to hit an interest goal , do it by all means.

3- Stop Buying Before the Batlle Starts.

Basicly , The game registers Your gold total at the start of every fight. So if you wait until the battle starts before buying those Two 5 gold gyrocopters , you will save 1 gold of potentially Wasted Interest.

You can use this When you are either at 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 Gold.

You can also use it to level up so that the next pack You open is higher Level.



4-Stop going into the game without A plan ( i don't mean you should force a build. But Know your standards)

Before the game starts , you should have in your mind 2 - 5 Builds that you might be doing.

Spy on your ennemies to see what they are picking , See what your first 3 items are. See what picks are offered to you.

By Round 20 - 25 You should have made up your mind between 2 Builds


5-Stop Picking the same heros That your opponent have 2 Stared (4 cost + heros)

Did you know that the heros you are picking in the shop are not infinitly Generated ?

There is only a fixed Number of heros , And you Share them with other players. So if you see that someone has A level 2 / 3 gyrocopter or tinker , Just forget about it and go for something else instead.

I hope You found the guide helpfull !

Great tips, thank you for posting! :)

There are usually players that don't make it to the tournament even though they've registered. If you're in the Discord around the time the tournament begins, you might receive a spot! :D

Thanks for your kind reply !
I would love to see things moving in this thread :) , Dota underlord is a great auto-chess game (the best on in my opinion). And the game certainly needs the help of its community !
I will be present in the discrod server , hopefully i can get in !
