Wraith King a tricky hero in Dota2

Wrath King in Dota2 can be frustrating, especially to stay alive..LOL.  Even after Reincarnation you should know when to run into a team and fight.

Wraith king is the only hero in Dota2 who has a built in Ages (The item dropped by killing Roshan which enables you to to come back to life after death.) which makes him quite unique and a superb hero to play.

Remember, he is a carry so do not play this hero if you don't know how to 'last hit' properly and don't know the basics of Dota 2. Wraith King's spells are:

§  Wraith Blast - Wraith king shoots out a bolt of fire stunning an enemy hero dealing damage over time and slowing targeted unit down. This spell is awesome to initiate with or pick some heroes off or even slowing down enemy heroes who want to kill you and you don't have your Reincarnation ability available. Preferably only take one level of this spell till you hit level 8 then you can if you see fit level it up some more.

§  Vampiric Aura - Wraith King gives all nearby friendly units gain lifesteal. This is also an awesome ability to have if you want to jungle or if you need some healing you can level up this ability and it is great for your team. I only take one level of this till level 8 as well.

§  Mortal Strike - Wraith King gains a chance to do a massive critical strike. This is one of them most awesome abilities Wraith King has and if you have luck on your side this will also be your favourite spell on Wraith King. If you get your damage high enough with some nice items Wraith Knight will almost become like an Phantom Assassin criting the living hell out of anything close. I Maximize this ability usually out once I reach level 7.

§  Reincarnation - Wraith King becomes alive again after death and then once he is alive he slows all nearby enemies. The best part of Wraith King is this ultimate. Your enemies don't have to kill you once but twice ! Plus if you have Ages on you the have to kill you thrice. Always take this spell on level 6. Don't be shy to engage on enemy heroes even with low life, as long as you have your team behind you or just a quick sacrifice to get your health back. Point is this spell makes you the most self confidant hero there is with two lifes.

How you are going to play him is as follow:

Like I mentioned earlier don't be shy with him. If you see a team fight which you will win engage even if you are on 10% health just go for it. If you are bound to die try to run in the middle of all the enemy heroes to slow them all down once you die and when you come back pick them one by one off. Another thing always keep in mind that you have your ultimate and that you won't die just like that also remember and watch your mana. Reincarnation costs 140 mana to activate so be careful with your Wraith Blast's and keep track of that mana.

Farm hard to get your items. Nothing can beat a farmed Wraith King. And hope you have luck on your side for those amazing critical strikes.

What you are going to buy for Wraith King:

Phase Boots

Reason why you should go for phase boots is first of all for whenever you Wraith Blast a hero you can instantly get to him and be twice as fast as him. Secondly for the damage, it will enlarge your critical strikes with a decent amount.

Armlet of Mordiggian

Almost every recommend this item for Wraith King. It increases your life with an incredible amount as well as your damage enabling you to hit massive critical strikes.

Battle Fury

Awesome damage and health/mana regeneration. Plus you every time you attack you get splash damage dealing 30% of your damage in a area of effect. This means when ever you get a critical strike everyone feels it.

Assault Cuirass

This is a must get item for almost every strength hero. It gives you a lot of extra attack speed and gives your tremendous amounts of armour. Also reducing nearby enemy's armour.

Heart of Tarrasque

Another must get item for almost every strength hero. Gives you an insane amount of extra health and regenerates 2% of your maximum health per second when you are out of combat.

Satanic

Also a very good item to get for Wraith King. I used correctly you will theoretically have three lives. This item gives you a passive 25% extra livesteal on top of your Vampiric Aura and when activate another 175% extra lifesteal. Meaning every time you hit you will be almost full health.

Black King Bar

Very nice item to have for the fact that when you have this item and you activate it, almost 80% of all spells won't work on you. There are exceptions for some heroes though so just be wary.
