What's PD?

Most of my other guides are ok/decent. I'm starting to look at other guides to see differences and items to consider/add.
Just want to get Bristleback done properly and then look at him overtime and see where I can improve :D thanks!

btw, rad 25 mins is no longer acceptable as of the last major dota patch push the avg game time quite short. Now its like 18 mins or nope. Rad is less and less common on bear anyway, the only hero thats still get its often is a farm alchemist.


Right, I will remove it. I definitely don't like Radiance at all :B

I'm finishing up my draft for the Bristleback guide. Thought I could get Reddit's opinion, but they just downvote anyone hard regarding guides ):

Any suggestions here?

  • Ability build: Max Quil Spray & Bristleback, Ultimate at their respective levels, Max Goo last.
  • Items are the following:
    Starter: Tango, Salve, 3x GG Branches, stout shield(???),
    Early Game: Wand, Boots,
    Core Items: Treads, Mekansm, Hood of Defiance
    Extension Items: Heart. Assault Cuirass,
    Situational Items: Radiance (if it can be farmed under 25 minutes), Drums, Halberd, Black King Bar


Make sure you mention a point of Goo early. 1 point in it is great early game, but you're right in that you max it last.

An Urn should go in there somewhere. Mekansm is only good if you go for Arcane boots since otherwise you just have 0 mana for anything. Hood of Defiance isn't really core, should probably be replaced with Pipe in situational. I'm not sure about BKB being on that list, you WANT all their magic spells to hit you while you're facing away from them.

I also don't like Radiance being on that list, Radiance nowadays is more of a farming item, of which Bristleback does not need.


Right, I'll see if I can add that as a note!

Is Bristleback a ganker or Urn is just overall a good idea?

So what is his core? feels like he has nothing. I guess that's the point huh? Playdota suggests to get hood.

Already based it off an old PD guide.

Does anyone know what ability Bristleback is based off of? I'm guessing Spiked Carapace, but that also sounds incredibly imbalanced.

do you guys think lich needs a buff to be used in the competitive level?

only use i see in him is underleveling his lane by denying creeps
and he has no reliable disable and his nuke is very situational
frost armor is nice but needs something better

I think he's fine as is, not every hero needs to be "equally competitive" because everything has different uses within different metas and having everything at a similar power level would make things pretty stagnant.

Is there a bug with his speed stacks? Seems like you can only get 3 stacks as the fourth one does not seem to stick longer than .1 second.

If you cast your W multiple times, you can never reach 5 stacks and the 4th stack goes down incredibly fast.
