Very nice guide :-)
But why never shadow blade when you have invis heroes on
Your team? Is it because the enemy might have detection?

Also I think meepo should get a special mention as an ally,
Because meepo snowball wrecks

Really enjoyed the guide though, good work

Why no one mentioned Soul Ring? I always buy one in the early game when using Tusk .. and I think it comes very handy.

the frozen sigil will also allow you to escape.... it is automatically tagged onto you and will follow you so running away with this activated makes for a much better chance of survivability...

Thanks harumage!

By the way guys, with the new dota 2 ingame guide, I am going to make one soon and link it in my guide so you guys can use it ingame! I might also make some bind config for telling your team when you are gonna snowball and stuff. I realized that does help alot if you do not have a mic. So look forward to the future! :D

I like the build a lot, and I had some fun both following your guide and playing this hero for the first time!

+1, but I am going to make the comment that you have far too many items listed. You might want to narrow that list down a bit. The boot options might as well just be "go with what you feel!" You have a lot of situational items listed, and while I liked that you explained why I'm sure it might cause some people to over-think certain situations - especially in pubs. Other than that, I gave you a thumbs up!

Good job!


Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciated! I think im gonna remove a few of the situational items because I do feel items like dagon are not too neccesary for Tusk and also remove the boots choice.

Imo,the guide is good.But,why don't you have Battle Fury included?Remember,the item is not made just for faster farming,it also gives mana/hp regen,and cheap damage.Combine that with the armlet,and the Walrus Punch.

Now this might not be true,bus as far as I know, Walrus Punch gets cleaved.


Oh yeah, forgot about that. IMO though, battlefury is expensive and I would not consider it a must item for tusk. If you are racking up kills and getting tons of gold, battle fury would be a nice item mid-late game. I dont recommend rushing it though.

Walrus Punch does get cleaved because it is considered a normal attack with a crit boost added to it.

Why does it say to always get bottle, yet you don't include in purchase order?


Well, thats because usually by late game, your bottle will be useless. Thats why I didnt show it in the complete build. I didnt put it in the early game item build because usually if there is a lanaya/pudge, you want them to get a bottle and runes instead of you.


People seem to down vote my guide without saying why...
