1. Foreword

I made this guide as, well Troll Warlord is my favorite hero and there are decent guides here. But I decided I shall make one guide that shall be updated regularly and add new builds when they become viable. To make it the ultimate Troll Warlord guide.



2. Introduction

Troll Warlord is famous for permanently bashing his opponents untill they die if he's farmed. He, like Bloodseeker , Windrunner and many others dominate pubs as rarely will people in pubs gank the troll warlord when he is int he jungle unless they have a ganker hero.. You like stun-locking people until they die? Well this guide is for YOU! Read on!

Tip: ALWAYS gank Troll Warlord in the early game.



3.When to pick Troll Warlord

-When you're playing in a pub.
-You love to stun-lock people
-When They have a few or zero stunners
-When you like Mindlessly killing Neutral creeps for at least 13 minutes

When not to pick Troll Warlord

-In Comp games ( NOT a good idea. )
-They have lots of stunners
-When there is a ganker is in your opponent's team, They will gank you in the jungle which results in a fat ganker and a useless troll.

4. Skills

Berserker Rage

Ability Type: Toggle
Targeting Type: Instant
Ability Hotkey: G
Jah'rakal goes berserk, using his throwing axes as melee weapons. He gains bonus damage, movement speed, attack speed, hit points, armor, and the Bash ability, but can only attack at melee range.

Nothing to explain. It just gives you a melee form and a Ranged form


Blind

Ability Type: Active
Targeting Type: Unit
Ability Hotkey: D
A searing light blinds the vision of a target enemy unit, making it miss on some attacks.

Jah'rakal's "Signature" move, only useful in laning though.

Fervor

Ability Type: Passive
Targeting Type: N/A
Ability Hotkey: F
When Jah'rakal engages an opponent, his animalistic nature grants him even greater proficiency in single combat. With each continuous blow on the same target, Jah'rakal gains understanding of the prey's defenses, and guides each strike with greater ease than the last.

Caps at 100% extra attack speed this skill allows permanent Bashing and it's also the reason why Jah'rakal is known for his attack speed.

Battle Trance

Ability Type: Active
Targeting Type: Instant
Ability Hotkey: R
Jah'rakal unconsciously uses dormant magic to awaken the savagery of every warrior on the battlefield. Greatly increases attack speed for a short duration, and lasts twice the duration on Jah'rakal.

Global attack speed increase, makes permanent bashing even easier!

6.Items

Starting Items:


Core:
or



You should have your core items before 20 minutes and once you have them, You have completed your "training" in your jungle and you are ready to rape some faces. If all your enemies are hiding, go jungle, get fatter.

Notice: Once you get your helmet of the dominator, Drop your quelling blade. It's just a waste of slot now.

Post-Core:
or
Your engaging tool, get one of these. Which one? You decide. One of these is a MUST


Provides Damage , AS and Evasion, What's not to love? This Luxury baby is a must if you can afford


Increases your dps by a pretty big amount for it's price and extra MS. This Cost-effective item is optional.

or
Going Vladimir's? Then pick any of these babies up, I prefer Diffusal Blade though. IT's a MUST to pick any of these 2 babies up if going vlad's.


DPS increase.. This baby is pretty much a MUST


Don't you just RAAGE! when your prey lands a stun on you and escapes?
Well with this, You can kill a whole team (Provided you are fat). It's optional but highly recomended.

or
Upgrades for Yasha. ONLY and i mean ONLY get these when you got nothing else to buy and you got yasha.


Epic Life steal, Good upgrade for your helmet of the dominator. GET IT when you got cash.


For Motred and people who lots of evasion.

Rejected items


Helm of the dominator gives damage and armor and only has 2% less lifesteal, Also with battle trance, You don't need the berserk it gives. Not to mention helmet of the dominator can be upgraded to satanic.


This is dota 6.69c. You need to update your version if you think this is a good item to have on troll.


If you wanna get this... Get Yasha instead.

Remember to leave comments about the items!

7. Allies/Enemies

Good Allies

Stunners/Disablers/Slowers


They Stun and you go in and bash. Easy as that.

Special Mention

He: Time Walk, Whack! and Time Lock
You: Go in, Battle trance.
Opponent: Permanently bashed to death.


BAD Enemies

Stunners/Disablers/Slowers


Chain-stun just KILLS you.

Special Mention:

Remember Your best buddy? Well He's now your arch nemesis.
He's Fatter than you? = You're dead
You're Fatter than him? = He's dead (Provided you have kelen's Dagger or lothar.)
Same Fatness? = Whoever engages first = Winner.

Make sure your teammates and you don't feed him and You're going to be alright.
