if you dont 1shot people with your junada yet, you could try to just go for the jinada hit while shadowwalked and THEN track them ...it gives them even less reaction time and disables Blink Daggers before the opponent can react.

If you are really confident in your burst you can even save your Track for right just before they die. If you have to chase a hero for a while though, cast it fairly early, as it gives a nice MS boost.

Thanks for the responses... I'm assuming then the Bonus Damage from Shadow Walk adds onto the Crit from Jinada, or vice-versa...

yes it does, you can also use a trick where you hit the enemy while you are still in the fade time so you get the bonus damage from shadow walk twice. becouse attacking in fade time doesnt break invis.
i think its only possible with level 1 and 2, 2 being a bit harder becouse of the shorter fade time.

Will have to give that a go and see if that works. Would be mean more harass for the enemy Hero's :)

Saw something quite different the other day. Was on the top lane for Radiant, as BH and had a PA with me. We came up against a lone Weaver which meant the missing enemy Hero was Clinkz. He came out of hiding at lvl 7 when PA and I were only lvl 4/5. I'm assuming he was jungling like mad.

Question here is, is it advised to allow a BH to jungle from lvl 1... or does he not have the necessary skill set to do that and can this be compensated with a few different start off items.

Oh and once Weaver (also lvl 7 as he didn't compete for XP and Gold) joined Clinkz, we lost the tower as they were level ahead.

Regards

Bounty hunter cant jungle becouse creeps are quite strong in dota. You either need minions, chen enchantress enigma, AOE spells, batrider axe darkseer. Or lifesteal, lifestealer bloodseeker. Although the last 2 are not reccomended becouse they cant support.

So the clinkz wasnt jungling.

Is it possible he was just using his Invis to hide and was there in the Lane the whole time?

PA can actually get last hits pretty well with use of her dagger ability. Overall its a cheap/safe way to get last hits.

I would say try Jugg. Cause even if you fall behind on him and a semi carry has to take over; he can still be of use with his healing ward.

I think Axe or abbadon are excellent starting melee heroes, abbadon lives forever and can just shield himself and tank all the nukes. Axe is just really tanky, just rush a blink, blink in and Q on the enemy and they will die, also can easily lvl 1 jungle. so yah, play Axe
Do as I say, not what I do
