The Burninator

THANKS. +1 on the stacking Ancients scene. Never tried it before. But if i get my ultimate lvl2 at 11 i will not push the towers effectively so there is a special priority in leveling it. (IN MY OPINION)

Yep. Sometimes you'll even want to just max Dragon Blood, but then you'll have to match your early game build accordingly so you have that mana regen/mana burst if with Soul Ring so you can ult, stun, and breathe some fire. You still want your Power Treads and HotD though. Only that part of the early game should change.

Yah lol
Played about 8 games with him yesterday, only lost my first game, and 2 other games due to a bunch of leavers. I find it a little tricky going up against harassment in early lane until level 6. Any advice?

EDIT: Nvm. I read the rest of the comment. I did try putting 2 into Dragon Blood (second at level 4) before lvl 6 instead of maxing fire breath. Seemed to help.

He's pretty rape. One of my highest successful heroes (and I try to play a lot of heroes).


I guess you could go Soul Ring instead of Urn, but spamming Breathe Fire during laning phase pushes it for no good reason. You want to be pushing with your team so when they try to stop you, you can lay down the stun and wreck their faces. Plus I'd rather have a quick heal for 400hp for me or my teammates instead of 150 mana for 10 seconds. You'll be racking up a lot of kills/assists on Dragon Knight, having those charges helps keep your teammates pushing/in the fight.

To your second point, I'd rather have the longer stun earlier than the regen earlier. The items I chose specifically go around the skill build (which is having Breathe Fire, Dragon Tail, then Dragon Blood). I did make a quick edit saying "if you're having trouble staying at high life/alive, get this skill before Breathe Fire or Dragon Tail." But specifically leveling it and getting the regen would result in a dramatically different early game build, which would probably be in accordance to your Soul Ring instead of Urn of Shadows. But the regen is not more useful early game if they are not harassing you to their full potential, or you have a bro laning partner. In that case (which should always be the case with this build), you want your longer stun instead.

All your points are completely valid, and to any of those reading, don't be like 'omg this commenter is sooooo stoopid'. His ideas probably match with his experiences, and what you or others might experience. No build should be followed exactly to the letter as no two games will ever be the same.

For mana u should replace urn with soul ring, enables u to spam breathe fire during laning phase. also level up dragon blood before maxing stun cos the regen is more useful in early game and it removes the need for urn heal

Nice & simple guide. I haven't given him a serious try yet, but I'm looking for new heroes to try out and this dude seems like a prime candidate.
