Help with Enigma?

I am looking for someone to coach me through efficient Enigma jungling. I want to be able to *consistently* hit lv.6 at 5 minutes, and have either a mek or blink at 8 minutes. If you can help me out, feel free to reply on this thread or add me in-game.

Well since that you are DotaFire already, why don't just look at the guides here?

An early level of Midnight Pulse will allow you to cut down trees (move around the jungle faster). Putting the midnight pulse between two camps and dragging the jungle creeps into it will increase your farming speed.

4)

A professional Dota 2 player, named Zai is a really good Enigma player. If you ever get the chance, find a replay of him playing Enigma and watch.

5)

Zai gets a 300GPM if none of his camps are blocked. I gauge this as the "maximum" farming speed in the jungle. Watch your replays and see if you get the same GPM.

6)

Knowing if the enemy blocked your camps will help you farm. Practicing some sentry warding positions should help. (If not, replays)



Lastly, you should be getting a Black King Bar (Depending on the lineup) instead of a blink first.

Oh yeah I almost forgot, getting a high GPM also depends on luck of creep spawn. If you get mud golems.... might as well go to the opposing jungle.

No no no, Mud Golems are very killable, just make sure you don't lose an Eidolon in the adjacent camp and Midnight Pulse the adjoining trees to get there faster and secure that ****! If you have a few levels in Demonic Conversion you shouldn't have any problems at all, but lvl1 does the job fine.

For goodness sake you *can* solo Rosh with them, some Mud Golems shouldn't be scaring you.

I did not know that was possible.

I've never tried it, but i have been reliably informed. Careful micro, stepping in yourself when needed, and he drops. So say the elders.

That^^^ relies on some serious RNGESUS blessings though and the micro is ... intensive. one bash or fail replicate and your ****ed.

it basically a

"Perfect Storm" situation... everything must go perfect for it to work.

Hence the initial "*can*".

Yeah, this is why i haven't tried it. It's a case of risk vs reward. Obviously the reward is huge, but if pretty much anyone walks past and notices you, you are doomed.

May go into a lobby tonight and give it a go. See how close i can get.
