CAPS LOCK WRAITH KING

OSTARION, THE WRAITH KING

THIS IS A GUIDE TO OSTARION, WHO IS THE MANLIEST HERO IN DOTA THAT DID NOT HAVE TESTICLES UNTIL RECENTLY.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
THIS GUIDE IS NOT FOR EM GAMES.

THIS GUIDE IS CONCISE. YOU WILL FIND NO WALLS OF TEXT HERE.

A KEY THING MOST GUIDE READERS DO NOT GET IS THAT SKILL AND ITEM BUILDS ARE FLUID. I WOULD ARGUE THAT THERE IS NO SKILL BUILD FOR ANY HERO THAT IS CONCRETE WITH EVERYTHING SITUATION. FOR EXAMPLE, I ONCE PLAYED A GAME WHERE EVERYONE WAS PUDGE. I MAXED FLESH HEAP FIRST, WHICH IS SUPREMELY ******ED IN ANY OTHER SITUATION.

ALL CREDIT GOES TO CRIMSONQUESO FOR CREATING THE ORIGINAL GUIDE.

THE METAGAME

DO NOT PICK OSTARION IF THE ENEMY HAS PICKED THESE HEROES (THEY ARE ***S):

EARLY GAME

SKILLS
1 WRAITHFIRE BLAST
2 STATS
3 WRAITHFIRE BLAST/STATS
-STATS ONLY IF THE LEVEL OF HARASSMENT IS VERY HIGH.
4 STATS/WRAITHFIRE BLAST
5 WRAITHFIRE BLAST
6 REINCARNATION. DUH.
7 WRAITHFIRE BLAST
8 MORTAL STRIKE
9 MORTAL STRIKE

OMFG NO VAMPIRIC AURA? THIS GUIDE IS N00b!!!!
VAMPIRIC AURA EARLY IS LIKE A MAN USING OVERSIZED CONDOMS. NOT ONLY WILL IT PROBABLY NOT DO ITS JOB, IT WILL MAKE YOUR PERFORMANCE WORSE. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR YOU AND YOUR PARTNER AS IT WILL PUSH YOUR CREEPS/STDS CLOSER TO THE ENEMY TOWER/VAGINA.

STARTING ITEMS:

SOME COMBINATION OF THESE ITEMS

LANE ETIQUETTE:
DO NOT "HARASS" WITH WRAITHFIRE BLAST. REAL MEN DO NOT HARASS. THE STUN IS WORTH MORE THAN THE DAMAGE. USE IT WHEN YOU KNOW YOU, YOUR TOWER, AND/OR YOUR CREEPS CAN GET IN A FEW HITS. IF YOU'RE LANED AGAINST A LOW HP MELEE HERO, STAB HIS FACE ANY CHANCE YOU GET.

SHOULD I HAVE A LANING PARTNER?
UNLESS THE ENEMY HAS 4+ MELEES AND THERE IS NO OTHER CARRY ON YOUR TEAM, I.E. WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING A TERRIBLE PUB, YES. ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THE PARTNER NEEDS TO EITHER HAVE A DISABLE OR BE RANGED

GANKING ETIQUETTE
HELP YOUR WEAK AND PUNY ALLIES WHENEVER YOU CAN AND ARE SURE OF A KILL. AS THE MANLIEST CHARACTER ON YOUR TEAM, YOU SHOULD ALMOST ALWAYS THROW YOUR WRAITHFIRE BLAST FIRST IN A GANK AND TANK THE TOWER IF NEED BE.

REINCARNATION ETIQUETTE
IT IS CUSTOMARY TO QUOTE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER WHENEVER YOU DIE.

MID GAME

SKILLS
10 MORTAL STRIKE
11 REINCARNATION/VAMPIRIC AURA/MORTAL STRIKE
-DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH MANA YET? IS THERE A HOMOSEXUAL MANA VAMPIRE ON THE ENEMY TEAM? IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
12 REINCARNATION/VAMPIRIC AURA/MORTAL STRIKE
13 REINCARNATION/VAMPIRIC AURA/MORTAL STRIKE
14 REINCARNATION/VAMPIRIC AURA/MORTAL STRIKE
15 REINCARNATION/VAMPIRIC AURA
16 REINCARNATION/VAMPIRIC AURA

ITEMS TO GO FOR:
ASK YOURSELF THIS FIRST:
AM I PLAYING WRAITH KING?

YES: GET AN ARMLET
NO: GET AN ARMLET

BUT I'M TOO NOOB TO ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE IT
WHAT THE ****, YOU HAVE ONE ACTIVE SKILL YOU DUMB ****.

TREADS OR PHASES

EITHER. BUT NOT BOTH DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TWO FEET. (COMMON MISTAKE) FINISH BOOTS AFTER ARMLET FOR MOST GAMES AS THE MINOR STATS/AS IS OUTWEIGHED BY ALL THE SEXY THAT ARMLET GIVES YOU.

NOW ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS, AND PICK THE ONE THAT YOU CAN SAY YES TO BEST:
ARE MY ENEMIES CASTING A LOT OF **** IN MY GENERAL DIRECTION? GET A Black King Bar
IS MY TEAM ALL MELEE BECAUSE COLLECTIVELY WE HAVE A LEARNING DISABILITY? GET A Vladmir's Offering
DO I WANT A GOOD ITEM THAT I MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE? GET AN Assault Cuirass
DO I WANT TO CARRY? GET A Desolator
DO I HAVE A PING OF 9000 AND CANNOT LAST HIT? GET A Battle Fury
DO I FEEL LIKE TIN MAN FROM WIZARD OF OZ? GET Heart of Tarrasque
DO I WANT A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF LIFESTEAL? GET A Satanic
DO I HAVE POCKETS FULL OF GOLD/ENEMY IMAGES? GET A Radiance
AM I A BALLER? GET Refresher Orb
DOES MY TEAM HAVE NO DISABLES? GET A Sange
AM I SEEING MORE RIVER/MANA LOSS ACTION THAN TOM SAWYER? GET A Bottle
AM I SEEING MUCH MANA LOSS ACTION AND WANT TO BE HARRY POTTER? GET A Magic Stick

FOR YOUR LEARNING PLEASURE, THE ITEMS ARE TIERED BY WHAT YOU SHOULD GET:

BALLER TIER

ITEM AFTER ARMLET TIER

ITEM AFTER ITEM AFTER ARMLET TIER (SITUATIONAL)

ONLY IF I CAN GET 6 OF THEM TIER


WHAT DO I DO IN A TEAM FIGHT?
1. LOCATE CLOSEST ENEMY THAT DOES SOMETHING IN THE FIGHT
2. ACTIVATE ARMLET
3. WRAITHFIRE BLAST HIM.
4. STAB HIM.
5. IF HE IS DEAD, GO TO STEP 6. ELSE, REPEAT 3 AND 4
6. GO TO STEP 1. IF THERE ARE NO ENEMIES LEFT, GO TO STEP 7
7. DEACTIVATE ARMLET.

(YOUR ACTUAL EXPERIENCE MAY VARY. YOU MAY NEED TO BKB OR REINCARNATE SOMEWHERE IN THAT AREA)

DOES SILENCE STOP ME FROM REINCARNATING?
NO.

AM I A BALLER?
DO YOU HAVE REFRESHER ORB?

I GOT A DIVINE RAPIER AFTER MY REFRESHER ORB
YOU ARE NOW BALLING OUT OF CONTROL

LATE GAME

SKILLS
16-25 WHATEVER THE **** IS LEFT

WHAT ITEMS SHOULD I GET?
CONSULT THE CHART. DO NOT GET BOTH DESOLATOR AND MJOLLNIR THOUGH. IT'S AGAINST THE RULES.

I FOLLOWED YOUR GUIDE AND I DIDN'T WIN!
BLAME YOUR TEAM.
