Furion, The Prophet

Furion takes a bit more skill than my past heroes explained. He is an intelligence hero so naturally he is harder to stay alive with, but fortunately he has an escaping spell. He can use Teleport to escape oncoming attackers. Remember that this spell takes a few seconds to cast. So you should not cast this spell with less then 20% health. If you do you are at risk of being killed while casting it. This hero has a Global Ultimate. This means he can cast his Ultimate Ability on anyone from anywhere around the board.

Traxex, The Drow Ranger

Along with most heroes, Traxex is very easy to play, considering her Ultimate Ability gives her 24 Agility at Level 1. Here are some tips and Item Guides for Traxex. And don't be fooled, just as Gondar or Rikimaru, you are entitled to being called a noob by playing this hero.

Tips
Since The Drow Ranger has so little Hit Points, Lothar's Edge is vital for escaping.
Once You enter a Late-Game standpoint, you will need to use Lothar's Edge as an ambushing item.

Gondar, The Bounty Hunter

Gondar, The Bounty Hunter, is also a very easy to learn hero. He has a windwalk ability, which automaticly entitles you to being called a "noob" for using an invisible hero. People say this because it is annoying to have to buy invisible-revealing artifacts just because someone decided to pick an invisible hero. Plus its really hard to kill them.

Tips

Also use Shuriken Toss to eliminate foes who are on the verge of escaping(Finishing Spell)

Rikimaru, The Stealth Assassin

Rikimaru, The Stealth Assassin, is one of the easiest and least-skill recquiring heroes. His ultimate gives him permanent invisibility, which is not only EXTREMELY annoying ,but he hardly ever dies. This causing him to hardly ever lose money making him very easy to play later in the game.

Tips-
Smoke Screen is very useful, it makes your enemies miss on a percentage of attacks and silences them from using spells. Your allies will not be pleased with you if you neglect to use this ability in team fights.

Ulfsaar, The Ursa Warrior.

I have been playing DotA for about 2-3 years now. It has gotten quite addictive, but Its' what I enjoy. I would call myself a "pro" but I still have bad games just as everyone else does. No one has perfect games with no deaths all the time. So for my first post, I would like to show a basic guide to the hero class of Ulfsaar, The Ursa Warrior. In my postings, I will attempt to post a build and a "How-To" to all of the 97 heroes in DotA, and nothing more.

For Starting Items-
Vlademir's Offering Recipe -1
Ring of Protection -1
Tango of Essifation-1
For Starting Abilities-
Fury Swipes - Overpower - Fury Swipes - Overpower - Fury Swipes - Enrage - Fury Swipes
(It is vital to level "Fury Swipes" as soon as possible, I would daresay it is the most rigged passive ability in the entire game.)
Leveling EarthShock last is debatable, But I see Overpower and Fury Swipes, much more valuable than Earthshock.
Item Build-
Complete Vlademir's Offering as soon as possible. With the damage from Fury Swipes, You will regenerate Life Points like crazy with each passing attack.
Next is Power-Treads-Strength(Boots of Speed+Gloves of Haste+Belt of Giant Strength)
Following that, you should get a Vanguard. Many people have challenged this, but considering the effects of your Ultimate Ability, the hitpoints acquired by the vanguard are very helpful.
(Vanguard=Stout Shield+Ring of Health+Vitality Booster)
Now for the most vital of all items. Lothar's Edge. This gives you the ability of WindWalk, which should increase the ease of killing enemy heroes by loads.
(Lothar's Edge=Quarterstaff+Claymore)
Casting Sequence for killing with Lothar's Edge-
1. Cast Enrage(Your Ultimate) and Overpower
2. Immediately cast Lothar's Edge
3. Pursue your target
4. Upon reaching target attack once then cast EarthShock (If Leveled)
[If you do not have EarthShock leveled, Make sure you position yourself in the direction your victim would most likely run to. This creates a brief moment for your victim to figure out where to go, and you to have a lesser chance of the target escaping]
Some people disagree upon the choosing of Lothar's Edge over Kelen's Dagger of Escape(Which gives you the ability to "Blink". In my opinion, Lothar's Edge is much more useful and practical.)
Game Ending Items-
Heart of Tarrasque (Messershmidt's Reaver - Vitality Booster - Heart of Tarrasque Recipe)
Assault Cuirass (Assault Cuirass Recipe - Platemail - Chainmail - Hyperstone)
[I recommend purchasing 2 Hearts of Tarrasque, this will make your Ultimate Ability give you around +400 damage.]
