1st off id like 2 say all i play r pubs, pubs of which r em, so this guide will reflect this. No clan inhouses, no garana or watever the fukk its called, jus plain ol pubs. If that bothers u in watever way hit the ol back button on ur browser.
2ndly i dont play 2 win, i play 2 have funn. Again if that bothers u c 4mentioned backing.
Lastly theres going 2 b alotta spelling, grammatical and foul language (examples would b cock, balls, shit, fukk, whores, clown dicked shitbag cob slobbers etc etc) from this point on, if that offends u, bothers u, makes u 2 wet 2 read or watever then hit the ol dusty trail now buddy.

Huskar is nota hero 4 pussys. He doesnt cloak and wait 4a ks nor cast a buttload of spells 2 kill ppl. He wants 2 get down and dirty in battles, chin deep in filth and urine. He aint scared 2 kick his own ass in order 2 kill some1. Hesa man dammit, a man man man.

Great early game harassment. No cd, no mana cost anda dot ability, wats not 2 love? It is ofcourse a double sided sword, u take 15 damage each use so watch it.

Ezily 1 of the best targeted ults in the game. Molests half the units life and basically removes there boots in 1 move. Like burning spears this is also a double sided sword in which u take the same damage (decreasing per lvl).




ima list 2 skill builds, 1 4 life leech and 1 4 fire arrows because the life leech orb and fire arrows ability do not stack.




lvl 1 Berserker's Blood or Burning Spear
lvl 2 Inner Vitality
lvl 3 Berserker's Blood
lvl 4 Inner Vitality
lvl 5 Berserker's Blood
lvl 6 Life Break
lvl 7 Berserker's Blood
lvl 8 Berserker's Blood or Inner Vitality
lvl 9 Inner Vitality
lvl 10 Inner Vitality or Stats
lvl 11 Stats or Life Break
lvl 12-15 Stats
lvl 16 Stats or Life Break
lvl 17-21 Stats
lvl 22 Stats or Burning Spear
lvl 23-25 Burning Spear

This isa balls 2 the walls damage build. Ur health will b hit hard but u will augment that with life leech 2 even it out and survive most any 1v1 or 1v2 match up. lvl 1 i usually take Berserker's Blood, +2 damage isa waste really but it sets u up 2 finish lvling it 1s u reach lvl 7. Inner Vitality is also viable but it also is quite a waste this early unless u tink u gonna get ganked like crazy or out harassed. Best choice by far is Burning Spear 4 its harassment and dot (damage over time) damage, only prob is it doesnt stack with life leech, is basically useless 2 u after lvl 6 and makes ur maxing Berserker's Blood at lvl 8 instead of 7. Husk is best asa ganker, and with this build u wanna b able 2 do as much damage at 1s as possible. Take his ult wen u can, stats r viable 4 life and mana and 2 b honest i used 2 take it over his ult, but the ult cd loweres each lvl, 15 secs maxed, which trumps life and mana any day of the week.




lvl 1 Burning Spear
lvl 2 Inner Vitality
lvl 3 Berserker's Blood
lvl 4 Burning Spear
lvl 5 Burning Spear
lvl 6 Life Break
lvl 7 Burning Spear

lvl 16 Life Break
lvl 17-25 Stats

This build isnt as ballsy as the former and is wat i started out using. It focuses more on the dot nature of Burning Spear and the regen of Inner Vitality and the items u will get. Burning Spear is gotten 1st 4 its harassment capabilities. Next is Inner Vitality 2 heal u and at lvl 3 u want the extra ias and damage of Berserker's Blood. Maxing flaming arrows will give ua massive dot (72 over 6 secs, the stack is uncapped though) but u will have 2 watch the damage it does 2 u 2. Dont b afraid 2 bone out b4 the opponents dead, the 6 sec dot will usually kill him. Hood will not reduce the damage it does 2 u (dont quote me on that) but if the opponent has 1 it will reduce the damage done 2 him by the fire. U want 2 max Inner Vitality b4 Berserker's Blood because ur damage comes from dot. Like always get ur ult wen u can and max it over the extra stats, the less damage it does 2 u the better in this build.




Im not going 2 tell u wat 2 get 4 husk, instead ill jus list items and tell u the interactions with him.

Assualt seems great with him, and it is really, but its more ofa win more item. By win more item i mean that by getting it ur probably already winning and/or itll ba waste by the time u obtain it. If the game drags out long enough though the ias and negative armor aura is great with either husk build.

Heart, get this item 4 husk. Works great in either build. I usually will get this after i finish boots. The extra life, damage and regen is everyting husk needs. Ezily the best item 4 him.

Bkb, get it vs spell casters, nuff said.

Shivas, could b cute in the dot build, extra damage and slows giving more time 4 the dot 2 do its work. Ofcourse it gives no extra damage or health so there r better tings u can buy. Gonna have 2 try this nugga out though.

Vanguard, i c this gotten alot 4 husk. Overall decent, the extra life is good, regen and block r jus gravy but it really jus puts u behind in other tings u could buy. Not the worst ting u could buy but not the best either.

Blademail, get it if melee doods r raping u.

Hood, another really good item 4 husk. The regen is dirty and the magic reduction is jus iceing on the cake. It actually reduces the damage u do 2 urself from ur ult 2. Definitely good 2 get by itself anda definite buy vs spell casters. And ofcourse u can up it 2 pipe if the needs arise.


or
Sheep and orchid, not core items but either could definitely b bought if needed. Sheep actually isnt that bad on him after uv gotten heart.
Scepter, definitely an item 2 consider. Not the 1st ting id buy but the ult bonuses r nothing 2 scoff at. A good supporting item after heart. 8 sec ult + enough regen = shitting on ppl.


or

or
Mkb, rad and buriza r all win more items in my opinion. They great items, but theres better tings 2 get b4 any of these, and by the time u farm enough 2 get um game ull b over. Radiance isa good choice 4 the dot build (bringing ur dot damage 2 312 over 6 secs) but will leave ur health horribly low. Supportive items 2 ur core if anyting.

Manta, another cute item. Ult split and start wailing on some1 could b quite dirty. Jus remember the illusions dont get ur extra damage or ias from Berserker's Blood. Another item i needa try.

Armlet, the item that at 1st glance looks 2 b made 4 husk. Extra strength, ias and damage ata cost of 35 life a sec sounds perfect. Ive come 2 find out that its more ofa win more item though. It leaves u 2 fragile if u get it 1st, but late game u could buy better tings. Still good on him, theres jus better tings 2 get.

Sounds tarded, but this really isnt that bad on husk. No extra strength which blows, but adds ias anda decent ammount of damage and its cheap. Makes him initiate ganks better and/or escape if the shit hits the fan. 4 ganks u get close enough and cloak, get next 2 them and attack, ult, go ape crazy on there asses and if need b cloak and escape/chase um down. The "backstab" damage isa good finisher 2. Best part is they wont expect it (even ina pub).


or

The best orb 4 husk hands down is life leech. Satan is wat ud want 2 work ur way up 2 and i usually start 2 make it after heart. Mask of madness extra ias is good early, but late game itll get u killed in team battles. S and ys maim, stygians armor reduction or diffusals mana burn jus doesnt compare 2 the life gain of satan. Mjollnir could b decent with enough regen, his ias would ensure alot of lightning. Skadi could probably b the worst ting 2 get 4 husk. I love skadi, but it jus dont work well with husk. Also, orbs dont stack with ur Burning Spear, so either turn it off or dont get it.


or

or
Bots r best on husk in my opinion, but any of these can b bought. I usually will get phase 1st then late game sell them 4 bots. If ur going the Burning Spear build, strength treds would probably b best.

Hand, never tried with husk (2 b honest ive probably made it 10 times total ever). Could b good, extra ias isnt 2 horrible and the extra cash could b helpful, but ofcourse u could jus blow the $ 4 the midas on watever u were gonna buy anyways. Like bracers, wraithes and nulls id rather jus go straight 4 watever good item ima want ina build. Wont hurt u but wont really help u much either.

Wand, not really needed 4 u but ive put it in here because its an item thatll hose u if u plan on fire harassing them. That fukking wand will b charged in no time so b careful if u c it.

Im nota big fan of bracers, wraithes or nulls, i tink they jus hinder u from getting better shit later on and sooner, but if u want that extra boost of life and damage go 4 it. 2 or 4 watever u c fit.

Again, nota fan of dagger either, but could b good initiator 4 ganks.

Saved the shit i hate 4 last apparently, nota big fan of bottle either, theres better heros 2 rune whore with then husk but the life and mana from each swig is good and could b used if need b.




early game

Early game, depending on wat build u chose, ur either gonna wanna last hit or harass. If ur going 4 the life leech build, last hit till the motherfukking cows come home. Husk last hits great and wen uv taken some damage ur last hitting will b even ezier with that damage bonus. Dont b afraid 2 take some on the chin 2 get that extra damage %, jus dont get 2 low. Depending upon wat u bought as ur starting items, u can ezily have mask by lvl 4 or 5. If u chose the fire build harass harass harass. Wen ur life gets low, Inner Vitality up and keep going. By lvl 6 or 7 u should b rdy 2 take on whoever ur against (especially if its 1v1). Always make sure 2 use Inner Vitality b4 u ult, if u have 2 wait 4 its cd or 4 the mana do it itll makea world of difference. Also if uv chosen the life leech build make sure u got some form of life leech b4 u ult/engage an enemy or ur fukked, ur life is jus 2 low this early in the game without ur spell and/or item help. 4 fire, dont b afraid 2 retreat and take the chance and let the dot kill them if sticking around will kill u, more then likely the dot ull do its job.

mid game

Mid game gank with ur team or farm, its that simple. Husk isa initiator so dont sit bakk and wait 4 the ks likea pussy, hit the Inner Vitality and go 2 town on ppl. Wen ur not ganking farm up, everyting thats good 4 husk costs alotta gold. U can usually handle the big ancient creeps with ease so dont b afraid 2 hit those early.

late game

Late game u should have enough items 2 not only bea tank but also bea threat. Its not unlikely 4 u 2 tank there entire team and take a few down 2 hell with u. U can solo rosh if need b if u got life leech 2. Ur ult doesnt damage him but it will drop ur life watever % u have it at and slow him (dont quote me on the slow). Jus make sure 2 lead the way in battle, dont chill bakk, u want 2 take the damage and dish out the filth.




worst enemies



Disables r husks worst nightmare. Vs, lion, rhasta, bat, bane etc stop u long enough 4 the rest of their team 2 focus fire ur balls off. Barathrum can perma stun u enough that u cant geta hit in edgewise. Poison is another bad match up, ur Burning Spears already do damage 2 u, that extra poison dont help. And lastly weaver and necro. There ults jus flat out counter urs. U ult weaver he ults and gets his life bakk. u ult necro u die. Those 2 r probably ur hardest match ups so b on ur toes.

best friends



Healers r great 4 husk. Sometimes regen and/or life leech jus wont b enough and ull need some1 2 bail u out. Ur ult slows but drows icey arrows will slow um even mo. Ogres lust is great 4 any dps hero, and wen ur all roided out with ur glowy spears itll jus b iceing on the cake. Poisons jus as good with u as it is against u, basically doubling ur dot. Enigmas malefice is also another good dot 4 u, as is his black hole.




Hopefully this guide has helped u further ur knowledge in all tings huskar, ezily the filthiest of all the ranged strength troll with serrated spears anda mo hawk heros in dota.
