Welcome to my first Dota 2 guide.
I was thinking of which of many heroes to choose from and Finally decided on my Favorite Jungle/Hard Carry hero : Na'ix The LIFESTEALER
Lifestealer Is a Meelee Strenght Hero who excels in jungling and being a hard carry mid to late game. He is very level dependent during early and mid game while being Item dependent during late game.
PROS:
1.He is a very stable jungler and laner.
2.He has a built-in bkb and lifesteal.
3.When farmed nearly nothing can stop you.
4.He becomes a beast (literally) when it comes to attack speed,life-stealing and tankiness.
5.Can be an excellent pusher in later stages of the game.
CONS:
1.Doesn't have a much needed stun until mid game.
2.Needs to not die to neutrals or enemy heroes while jungling.
3.If laning he needs a support with a stun or disable.
4.Squishy and easy to kill during early.
5.If not farmed you will be rendered useless.
The first skill build Is based on a Jungling Lifestealer.
You first always skill Feast first and max it all the way for the obvious reasons. You always rely on your lifesteal when jungling and u need that lifesteal to survive.Before u max Feast yo invest one skill point on one of each of your other abilities: Rage and Open Wounds. The order of skilling this to is not set due to them both being useful in the same manner. Always be sure to skill Your ultimate at the standard 6-11-16 due to it being really useful when trying to escape and surprise killing.When feast is maxed out you skill one of the two skills to the max. I personally max Rage first due to its duration being increased as well as being a free bkb, being the main carry makes you be the top priority when it comes to being killed during teamfights. So everyone will be targeting you with plenty of stuns, slows and disables, which are useless to a enraged lifestealer. At last you finish skilling Open wounds due to the fact that the only thing being upgraded being its cooldown and range. one can decide to max it first but it would be dangerous because of the fact that your built-in bkb and attack speed increase won't last too long, but u can still do it if the enemy team doesn't have too many nukers.
For starting items You buy tangos, a stout shield, and a quelling blade.
Tango for healing
Stout for damage reduction
Quelling for more damage
The next Item is a hand of midas but this item is optional when it comes to using it
you either rush it or don't get it at all which means you get it even before boots. If u fail to get your midas in between mins 7-9 finish your boots. For the boot choice it will nearly always be Phase boots, people often go power treads but I disagree on that because the bonuses it grants are not as useful on na'ix as the bonuses phase boots grant,with phase boots u get the phase ability that is really useful when trying and chasing and also u get that sweet 24 damage. after that you get a hyperstone, why you might ask, this hero craves for attack speed, and what other way to upgrade your attack speed than with the best(and cheapest) attack speed upgrade in the game. After this You buy a basher so you get your much needed stun, This paired up with your rage and open wounds abilities makes you a beast during mid game. this is enough to end your mid game accordingly. If the game extends, tend to get one of 2 items: A desolator or a maelstrom into a mjolnir. I always get the mjolnir first due to already having the Hyperstone on my inventory, this is done for more attack speed. However if your looking for a higher damage output get the desolator so you can finish quickly due to your high damage and excessive pushing. Then after one of the two is finished (Mjolnir or Desolator) finish the other one.
For luxury Items:
Monkey King Bar if enemy team has evasion.
Abyssal Blade for a guaranteed stun and more damage output.
Moonshard For Consuming purposes only.
Assault cuirass for more armor reduction.
For the Lolz:
Battle fury for more health and mana regen, which is never bad and the cleave does work for dessimating.
Vlad for more lifesteal since feast stacks with lifesteal.
Divine is really the best item on the game yet it really sucks being a drop on death.
silver edge for ganking.
Radiance for infesting and killing with the radiance while on a spell inmmune creep/ancient.
You always try and farm the smaller camps first, this is due to you not being the most tanky hero at the beginning, so u evade camps that include hellbears, large satyrs,the big birds and trolls in the beginning of the game.If your team needs a gank go ahead and help them with ur slow. When you get you can start killing large camps that you were unable to farm,then you start getting your items at a normal pace getting kills with rage and open wounds. Some people reject the use of Infest as a killing skill,there was a time I was really coward at the fact of teamfighting that I would simply infest an ally if I lost enough health then I would simply pop out and get a kill then I started using it not just as a skill made for killing because the damage itself when at level 16 is a lot and the fact that it is in an AoE makes it amazing, such power is so good that you could even kill meepo when he has 5 copies of him by infesting an ally and then popping out to go focussing one meepo for a kill. On 6.85u can now infest ancients, you can now infest a big bounty ancient for a free ton of gold, And not even mentioning the ton of health you will get from infesting the creep. You just need to focus on this things:
Farm undisturbed until you farm your midas.
Go get kills early.
Feed on squishy heroes.
Get your items, and then win the game. Nice and easy.
Friends of lifestealer in lane are does who can stack the smaller camps for him on early game such as hard supports. this supps Have disables, slows and stuns in most of the cases.
However heroes like vengeful spirit with her stun, attack aura and, armor reduction can help a lot, also Shadow Shaman's shackles can really help when it comes to having a great disable and stun. Lion can also help you with his huge amount of disables. Special shoutout to spirit breaker who can take you to his ganks with his charge of darkness.
Foes of lifestealer are those that can disable him early game, interrupt his farm and also kill him with many nukes during early game. Heroes like this include techies with his mines,lion with his nukes, and doom with his doom just to name a few.
