DOTA - Doom / Lucifer Tips, Build, Strat

(In Warcraft 3 / DOTA) Lucifer / Doom / Doom Bringer has a brilliant silence (move), when used it silences a lot more than just your usable spells and the inventory items.

It also prevents and takes away…

1. Orb effects
2. Buffs (But not all, Insatiable Hunger is one of them and you can still lifesteal)
3. Magic immunity (Note: The hero is still in avatar mode but is still silenced and taking damage)
4. Lifesteal
5. Bash
6. Critical Strikes

The 2 heroes that are 'anti-Doom' type of hero's are

Leviathan

1. Kraken Shell lessens the time Doom takes effects.

Abaddon

1. If one of your allies was cast with Doom just cast aphotic shield on him/her to remove doom.

2. If you are the one being cast with Doom, don’t worry since borrowed time will remove Doom once it activates when your life reaches 400 below.

Todays DOTA tip - from HeavenSent (a Filipino DOTA player!)

Beat Phantom Assassin One on One

Phantom Assassin as we all know is a very powerful DOTA character towards the end of the game (late game) Early on, being a melee hero, Phantom Assassin or PA - isn't extremely strong. Even mid game, if the player hasn't leveled well or bought the right items PA is certainly beatable 1 on 1 or in a group.

DOTA Tips has a post below from a well know DOTA champion regarding tactics and build against PA for winning everytime: (Remember Phantom Assassin is tough 1 on 1, but she CAN be beaten)

The choice of bradwarden against mortred (phantom assassin) is good. Now, put lothars and 2 blademills in your item build. Also, 1 x Tarrasque, 1 x Assault Curias, and 1 x Buryza will surely kill mortred (phantom assassin) 1v1. Also 2 x Blademills combined with your damage return is huge power!! Then you can stomp, wack, wack, wack, Double Edge and you can just stand there watching her dying with her own attacks! Also, heroes with permabash / stun are a very good choice as well. Something like Void's chrono rocks here!! Phantom Assassin can't do anything. If she has bladmills as well, use an item with lifestell like vladimirs or satanic to override the return damage from blademills. Good luck in defeating Phantom Assassin!

When to use the Permabash Build -

Use the permabash build when going against heros that don't have stuns of their own. When combined with a few bashers and rampage, enemy heros will have nothing to do but watch their health disappear at a moderate rate.

My suggested item build:
When you choose the hero:
Ring of Regeneration
2 ironwood branches

My best items:
1. Power Treads
2. Cranium Basher
3. Cranium Basher
4. Hyperstone (to speed up rampage and fervor, imagine how fast he could be!)
5. Stygian Desolator (this works really well on troll)
6. Buriza-do-Kyanon (for the crits)

Strategies:
NEVER CHOOSE THIS HERO IF THERE IS EITHER AXE OR ENCHANTRESS ON THE OTHER TEAM OR YOU SHALL DIE!
During early game, concentrate on farming and getting gold. Press down alt and kill creeps that are red hp if you can...When you have a Treads and Stygian Desolator at lvl 11, you can start owning.
Remember to change into Berserker's Rage at lvl 8.

My suggest item build:
when you choose the hero:
Ring of regen
2 lesser clarity potions

Best items:
1. Boots of Travel
2. Aghanim's Scepter
3. Refresher Orb
4. Guinsoo Scythe of Vyse
5. Dagon (1-5)
6. Eye of Skadi

Strategies: This is a really very early game hero. If you don't own in early game, you will end up feeding all the while later. Buy more clarity potions and spam your arc lightning and lightning bolt. Both of them have short cooldown and requires not much mp. It deals quite alot of damage, considered that it is still early game. You have to earn alot of money using your arc lightning to kill creeps. Then increase your damage and hp and mp by buying Scepter. When you get refresher, just stay at base and do wrath, refresh and wrath again. Wrath with scepter is around 550 damage, so it deals around 1000++ damage. Those heroes with low hp will be dead. If not, dagon them with a 400 damage.

Magina the Anti Mage

Magina a great hero with alot of base attack speed, very good against mages and great against skeleton king lerioc.

Try Magina with the following items: with vlads, power treads and a cranium basher - you are a decent foe on the battlefield, expecially good against mages because of his 64 mana drain per hit, and with the basher your able to stun themn and drain all their mana before they are able to think. DOTA heros mostly thrive on mana, so with Magina you are taking all the power away with heavy mana attacking.

Many DOTA players struggle with mana draining heros, but this skill along with his other abilities, manasheild:reducing all magic damage taken by 40% and blink you can easily move in and out of battles, and his ulti the one that absolutly owns all mages when they have no mana, is mana void: is does damage on the amount of of mana points that is missing on the enemy hero, so combine this win stun and the manadrain, they will have no mana and simply use your ulti, an awsome person for trying to combat certain heroes.

Dota Tip: Bone Clinkz Rigged

Ok surely everyone knows this sad little hero in DOTA, using stealth or wind walk - this little freak can pop up almost anywhere and kill almost anyone. If the Bone Clinkz hero gets into trouble he simply wind walks. Suck central? You bet.

Now, if you buy a gem or gem of true sight as they are called, you may detect this little pain in da rear hero - but his movement speed is quite huge and the little freak will use his own gem or wards to kill off your stealth detection modes.

While he is a 'cheap' hero, and one that makes his opposition nerd players want to commit suicide afterwards - he does require a good amount of skill to master. World professional DOTA players such as Heffa and Tubby (real names Alex Heffernan and Daniel Telford) give the following tips for when playing Bone Clinkz. Movement speed, and damage. If you have both of these you can win most fights and escape some you are losing.

When teams try to gank or hunt you in packs, then remember the DOTA tip: use the speed Luke! I am your father. No No, seriously - get your little scrawy butt outta there and sprint into the forest around where the neutral creeps (scourage or sentinel are)

Good Luck with Bone Clinkz and thanks for joining us at DOTA tips.

4. Dagon
5. Eye of Skadi
6. Refresher Orb

Strategies:
Once you are lvl 6 with serpent ward, voodoo, lightning and lvl 1 shackles. You are ready to kill! Firstly, find a chance to cast serpent ward when the enemy ventures with 1 or 2 creeps. Immediately cast shackles after serpent ward till the 2.75 secs is over. Then cast voodoo and whack. If he still survives, fork lightning him.
