Hello everyone!<BR><BR>
SnarkyFox here, talking about the great class Bloodseeker. But first, a bit of a disclaimer.<br>
This Bloodseeker guide is a bit more earlygame than a lot of Bloodseeker players like, I catch my curve quite a bit earlier. About level 6-7ish. So if you are not comfortable going for broke and putting your prized K/D on the line, this is not the guide for you.<BR>
Now, for the brave of heart and strong of mind. Uh, sorry. I mean swift of arm. We are agility heroes, yes? Anyway, for any of those reasons, you went and continued. Bloodseeker is a very powerful hero that can be played a couple ways. You can be a wimpy, defense Bloodseeker that comes out of his shell at level 10+, or you can be a complete badass that by 10+, you have racked up more kills than Darth Vader. We all wish to be that annoying really pro guy in a match that has so many kills and everyone on the other team (and on his friend team because he KS's) hates. So here ya go. How to do JUST that.
Well, by now everybody has their Tangos, Shields, and Quelling Blades. Lets get started, shall we?<BR><BR>
First thing is first - stay frosty. DO NOT overexpose yourself for first blood, let some other person get it. Because believe me, you do not want to kill yourself at level one - that would be terrible and reason to lay down and cry. Just stay close enough to get XP, and dart in and grab some kills when you can - just don't get caught by a Skeleton/Wraith (depending on what season you are in) Kings odd little Hellfire/Wraithfire blast. Because that would be terrible. Really, just stay aware you are a very squishy class earlygame, and as soon as you can grab a Healing Salve for healing up after ganks. Most of the time, however, you will stay topped off because of Bloodbath and Tangos. Just get your Poor Mans Shield, and then you have permission to be a little less cautious. Really, earlygame is not a fun place for Bloodseeker, just put your head down and farm gold.
By now, you should be about at Rupture level and ready to grab some kills. Remember, for safe killing, always wear Power Treads and Poor Mans Shield. Rupture is a very powerful ability that does damage as your enemy runs from you. I've gotten a kill on rupturing an enemy and that enemy running alone! Little did he/she's poor soul realize that Rupture at level one does 20% of the amount that he moved. So, in a second against an enemy at an average of 350 move speed per second, that is 70 damage a second. And, lets say that enemy moved about 1000 movement as well as the initial damage at level one is about... 350 damage. I know, not impressive. But, at level 3, that amount of damage would be over 1000! It really gets better. Even at a low level, however, the rupture damage is good.<BR>
Another thing to get kills is remember Bloodrage. Alot of people don't like Bloodrage as much as they get silenced and take a small amount of damage every second, but I say you only have 1 other activated ability anyway - rupture. And you should have already used it! It can even add, at max level, +120% of your damage, over doubling it. It really is insane if you manage to hit even 3 hits. If you manage to get even three kills, that is crazy as it allows you to get items and skills faster to get more!
Now is for late game. By now, you should have most of your items and starting on luxury. Remember to get Maelstrom first! I know some people that don't really get luxury/situational items, but essentially here is how it works.<BR>
Get Abyssal Blade generally if you have a problem having enough damage.<BR>
Get Armlet of Mordiggan if you find teamfights quite often.<BR>
Get Mjollnir if you are killstealed from often.<BR>
Get Ethereal Blade if you find that you are defeated in 1v1s all the time. Just hit it and rupture.<BR>
A lot of people just go for Daedalus if they feel like they want more kills. It's really for people who are doing great and need a money spending item.<BR>
Get Butterfly if you need a money spending item, or are getting left by your team after losing a teamfight. This should help win a teamfight, or run if you lose. It's also just a great item.<BR>
Get Satanic if you are dying too often and/or want more damage.<BR>
And that's about it.
Seriously, thank you guys for reading. This is my first guide, and if this gets positive feedback I'm going to post another one on whatever hero you guys want! Post in the comments what you would like my next guide to be about, as well as PLEASE vote this up because I worked over an hour on this guide (Not counting field research)!<BR>
GOODBYE! SnarkyFox out.
