introducing Centaur SoloMid

hello to u who seeks to try this build i have to say personally me playin this build gives me a high chance that the enemy team ragequits around the 20 to 30 minute mark
i will be explaining my build as i go along except for the starter items which speak for themself centaur is a very good ganker which is always good for mid has high nuke dmg and stuns and very high base dmg in his auto attacks his ganks can be devastating and snowball a game out of control but sometimes has a little bit of mana problems cuz of high mana cost of hoofstomp which runes and bottle solves and the runes upgrade his ganking potential even more with stuff like invis dd or haste to easily snowball a game out of control or that nice regen rune when u have just killed someone with double edge and your extremely low and thats why i like to play him mid

Standard Combo with

use your phaseboots and position yourself nicely for a hoofstomp then press double edge auto attack him a few times and if he still try's to run follow him with ult for the stun and do double edge again in very early game this can get u easy kills all around early to mid game
and always remember to try and use this combo and abuse the aoe on multiple enemy heroes and that's where blink dagger is so handy

Tranquil boots Versus Phaseboots

so what do most players buy on centaur tranquil boots which is nice since gives u heal/armor for spamming your w but the thing is once u get dmged u get slowed since ur boots will turn into normal boots after 4 instances of dmg and we dont want that imagine ur walking up to someone and u wanna q him u get slowed not because they used a spell but they did dmg and u slowed urself cuz of poor item choice so what can we do vs this buy phase boots it gives u so much more a better positioning for your hoofstomp more dmg u already have so much dmg at the start and the ability to roam the map faster while ganking which all sounds better to me then tranquil when your going solomid and people go like oh but then u dont have a heal for after ur w
well thats where urn of shadows comes in after u have killed someone with w u can heal with urn easy as that and no loss of movement speed but more speed dmg and roaming capability

Mid Game items and why ??

always every game go blink dagger it does so much for him if u dont its like imagining a slardar without blink dagger u just never do that it just compiments him in every way en preferably the blink q w ult hits with autoattack and another w with phaseboots mostly after this combo if they dont have heal they are easy dead so pick on the squishy hero's
and cuz of his aoe he can do this to multiple heroes with the right blink in
and finish off like 2 or 3 low hero's and together with a follow up from his ult and teammates nearby believe me its mostly gg teamfight then

hood and vangaurd situational every game get either one of them or both if needed just look at what the other team has and counter it pretty simple if they have lots of auto attack dmg get vangaurd and hood is just so good on him since it also lowers the dmg that his w does to himself

Late Game

heart and heart this just makes centaur a beast which he already is :P but this makes him a brutal late game beast since his strenght gain is 3.8 nowdays with the buff
which means he get a ton of health and dmg and regen then after one or 2 hearts of tarrasque u tank for your team and just use the midgame strategy as i stated earlier but this time with heart ur ulti will hit like a good dmg nuke aswell where normally u only use the ult now for either chasing running or the double stun utility from Q and ult since it has almost no dmg early game but now u can think of suing it like a extra nuke

situational

sometimes the above mentioned items will just not cut it because of a certain character what can we do well buy something different
so centaur isnt really all that scared of enemy cc but sometimes u need this to jst be usefull n mid game vs certain hero's becuae of either cainstuns or large aoe dmg nukes for your whole team and it helps to have a bkb or linkes ves certain characters like sniper, pudge ult,storm W, and much much moe single target cc or burst that could wipe u out like lik lina and lion ult and also necrolyte so do this if u dont wanna go like this in =_= in all chat cuz u just died cuz of an ult that hit u for 900 after u made urself low with double edge

afterword

this guide was more focused on the items then the actual ganking and skil justification i was really tired while writhing this so if i made a mistake u can tell me in comments and if u like the build say something in comments about what u think but be positive negative can be said to but only if its meant constructively
anyway this is my build i hope u like it and u will see for yourself why this build get people to ragequit at around the 20 to 30 minute mark (yes dota needs a surrender option :P)
have fun playing and enjoy the good moments u will get out of it

Namaste
