DotA 2 Guide: Batrider in the jungle
The hero Batrider can also be played in DotA 2 right at the start in the jungle. In this guide, we will show you how it works.
Prepare the batrider for the jungle
With his "Firefly" skill in DotA 2, Batrider does enough damage to the neutral units in the forest. Skill this skill first. Buy a healing ointment and a "Ring of Protection" due to the possible damage to increase your armor value.
- Now run to your closest runespot from the forest and wait for the game to begin.
- If the rune appears to you, take it. It will help you survive in the forest and kill the neutral units. This applies above all to the illusion and double damage runes.
- If a regeneration rune appears, only use it if you have little life and mana points in the forest. If you use the rune, you will get a full regeneration. If an invisibility rune appears, it makes little sense for you.
- If the rune appears on the other spot, notify your teammates immediately.
Fight with Batrider in the jungle
The neutral units spawn 30 seconds after the start of the game. Start with the weakest creeps - these spawn right next to bot lane.
- Try to "stack" them first. This means that they fight two neutral camps instead of one. Attack the neutral units at 0:54 and run to the left as far as possible. The creeps will follow you and new neutral units will appear in the camp.
- Use "Firefly" and fly over the neutral units. As a result, they suffer damage and are killed. Use your healing ointment if necessary.
- You receive a certain amount of gold for each unit killed. Invest this directly in items and have them brought by your courier. Invest in the "Tranquil Boots" first. These have the passive ability to quickly regenerate life points.
- Be careful not to come into contact with enemy heroes. During the early levels you are an easy target and can be killed quickly. This costs you time and gold - your opponents also receive additional experience points and gold with every successful attack.
- The so-called "Mud Golems" are immune to your ability. So don't try to kill them.
Skill Batrider for the DotA-2 Jungle
- Your most important skill in the jungle is the "Firefly" skill. This does enough damage to kill the light neutral units. Over time, this skill gets stronger and you can attack the big camps. But be careful: there are two exceptions - the "Mud-Golems" just mentioned and the Ancients near the Middle Lane.
- Reinforce your hero with the "Sticky Napalm" skill. This ability slows down neutral creeps and enemy units, causing additional damage. This skill will also make it enormously easier for you to kill the units and thus gain experience points and gold.
- At level 6 you get "Flamming Lasso" and from level 8 Batrider learns the ability "Flamebreak". Both skills are suitable for attacking enemy heroes and so on.
More tips
- After you have purchased the "Tranquil Boots", save your gold for the "Blink Dagger" item. This will help you to take enemy heroes out of the fight.
- If no one in your team buys "wards", take on this task. Nothing is more annoying than dying, since enemy heroes were never seen coming. The 150 gold hurts you less than a certain death and lost gold. Place the wards at the entrances to your jungle.
- Always pay attention to the lane that borders your jungle. If there is a fight and you are close by, don't be afraid to get involved. However, pay attention to your life points: With a few life points you are again an easy target.
