Sylla - The Lone Druid




Lone Druid (or just Druid from now on) is a hard carry that does require a high skill cap in order to play effectively. This is due to the fact he has to farm enough for two heroes (isn't it hard enough with one?) and requires some amount of micro. He can be played in the jungle or offlane as well as safe lane. Like most carries he accels in the mid to late game with a good amount of farm, and given enough time he can become a formidable 1v1 hero and an unstoppable pusher. He is avery fun rewarding hero with practice and effort.

Lone Druid : Lore

Long before the first words of the first histories there rose the druidic Bear Clan. Wise and just they were, and focused in their ways to seek an understanding of the natural order. The arch forces of nature saw this, and so sought the most learned among them. Wise old Sylla, clan justiciar and seer, stepped forward for his kin, and to him was given the Seed with these words: 'When all of the world has dimmed, when civilization has left these lands, when the world is slain and wracked by the endless deserts at the end of ages, plant the Seed.' As he grasped his trust, Sylla felt his years recede and his vitality returned. Vast knowledge burst into his mind. He found himself able to project his very will into reality and, with some concentration, alter his own physical form as well. Yet subtle whispers and cruel ears brought word of the Seed and its power to other peoples, and a terrible war crashed upon the Bear Clan. As his ancestral home burned, Sylla took his burden and fled to the wild places. Ages passed, and time and myth forgot the Bear Clan, forgot Sylla and the Seed, forgot wondrous civilizations that rose and fell in Bear Clans wake. For millenia, Sylla has waited, waited for word from his deities, waited for peace to come to the ever warring realms, waited in exile and in secret for the end of all things and for the conclusion of his sacred commitment, preparing himself always to face and destroy whatever would dare threaten his purpose.

Build 1 : Bear Carry Laning - Items

Bear Core:





Mask of Madness - Great for staying in lane with lifesteal. Active helps with killing and chasing tenfold.
Phase Boots - Basic Damage and Chasing Ability
Orb of Venom - More chasing and killing with the slow
Skull Basher - Along with your other items, nothing will be able to get away from you.





Druid Core:





Tranquil Boots - Gives great healing for staying in lane, and if you need to heal and not break the passive, Bear can farm for you.
Desolator - Help your fuzzy teddy bear rip those enemies up with his rabid fangs!





Bear Extension:





Abyssal Blade - Skull Basher Upgrade. Lots of damage and a 1 sec. stun when you need it
Eye of Skadi - Orb of Venom Upgrade. Way more slow and good stats.
Assault Cuirass - Really good attack speed and armor, makes Bear and Druid even more tanky.





Druid Extension:





Scythe of Vyse - Gives the opportunity to disable so the bear can kill.





Druid / Bear Start :





Stout Shield - Tank for Bear
Stout Shield - Tank for Druid
Tango - Regen for both

Build 1 : Bear Carry Laning - Skills

Summon Spirit Bear



Summons a powerful Spirit Bear companion that can equip items. If the bear moves 1100 distance away from the Lone Druid, it cannot attack.

Spirit Bear does not benefit from attributes.

Bonus Health: 250/400/600

This build focuses on powering up the bear and Sylla as much as possible to get kills. It is the most blunt and the most effective. Little variation is needed ever with Druid's skill build.
