Introduction

No one has ever seen the face hidden beneath the mask of Yurnero the Juggernaut. It is only speculation that he even has one. For defying a corrupt lord, Yurnero was exiled from the ancient Isle of Masks--a punishment that saved his life. The isle soon after vanished beneath the waves in a night of vengeful magic. He alone remains to carry on the Isle's long Juggernaut tradition, one of ritual and swordplay. The last practitioner of the art, Yurnero's confidence and courage are the result of endless practice; his inventive bladework proves that he has never stopped challenging himself. Still, his motives are as unreadable as his expression. For a hero who has lost everything twice over, he fights as if victory is a foregone conclusion.

Yurnero the Juggernaut is a melee agility hero whose abilities allow him to sprint into battle and recklessly devastate enemies in an impenetrable flurry of blades.
His skills grant invulnerability and magic immunity, turning him into an unstoppable force on a hairpin. Juggernaut is strong both offensively and defensively, and deals heavy damage both physical and magical with his Blade Fury and Omnislash ultimate, but he possesses below average strength and intelligence attributes, so he does not have as much health and mana as other heroes and is vulnerable when his abilities are on cooldown. For this reason, although his abilities make him powerful even in the early game, he cannot charge into forces without restraint until farmed and is usually played as a carry.

Pros and Cons

Friends and Enemies

Good Laning Partner

- Venomancer
- Centaur Warrunner
- Lion
- Shadow Shaman
- Earthshaker
- Any hero that can do Slow or Stun debuff

Worth Hero to lane against


- Silencer
- Drow Ranger
- Any hero that can silence

Item

Starter
Tango for healing, Stout Shield for blocking damage and make you last longer, Slippers of Agility for Agility boost

Early Game
by then, you will need to have Drum of Endurance Drum of Endurance and Phase Boots to use your B Blade Fury effectively. By then, you will have upgraded your Stout Shield to Poor Man's Shield

Core
It is always better to get Aghanim's Scepter as soon as possible. Not only does it give you stat boost, health and mana, it will make your Ultimate, Omnislash very useful throughout the game. With extra 3 jumps, you will do 600+ damage more than usual.

Luxury
After you have brought the suited situational item and core item, you can sell your Magic Wand (If you still have it) and Drum of Endurance Drum of Endurance into Butterfly and Phase Boots into Boots of Travel.

Laning

When you're laning, always lane on side lane. Juggernaut is a side lane Hero and it is not recommended to lane mid lane. He depends on the side lane shop to buy his items like Phase Boots and Poor Man's Shield.

Juggernaut needs support as it will be bad to solo lane with this Hero. He needs a decent farm and to cover it, he needs a support that can harass or even set up First Blood like Venomancer for example.
