Terrorblade is the twin brother of the Anti-Mage. Both of Night Elf descent, Terrorblade was drawn in by the powers of the Undead, plunging deeper into the abyss of no return, growing large, gargoyle-like wings to symbolize his breaking from the Night Elf world. Having mastered the art of image-creation and soul manipulation, he has the ability to transform into a fearsome and terrifying demonic form, obtaining the powers to hurl energy at his opponents. Large moonblades slashing, he is one to fear on the battlefield.


Now I believe that using carry-heroes and the like can be boring for some players especially if the hero needs time to build-up strength and buy some descent items. That's why carry heroes that are used are the ones that is easiest to build like the following:

and whoever carry hero you would like to add.

The thing with using TB is that you can watch your home team get massacred in the early rounds of the match then when you have bought your killer item/s you can really turn the game around and start hearing the computer say RAMPAGE!!!! Then if the enemy players are around you, you can probably hear them arguing among themselves and say "who the hell made TB strong?!?!?"

Now, I may sound a bit arrogant about how strong TB can be but believe me that in games where I use TB statistically 9/10 are the chances that TB turned the game around and made the enemy cry and curse out of frustration.

Before I start wasting your time about how long you should focus on the farm and other bits and pieces that you need to know in order to have your forest farming days a little bit less boring I would like to include the teammates that can help TB achieve victory a little bit easier.

For Pubgames teammates can rage from support INT and setter/stunner STR like the ff:
SUPPORTS


SETTERS


For those team games, TB can be used if the command -cm is not in gameplay mode. I really don't know the reason why some heroes are not included in the -cm but I believe that they are banned automatically because if chosen the match is automatically /gg

For the enemy heroes, TB will have difficulty if:
1. Your teammates are noob and can't accept that TB is your carry and will not support you

2. Enemies are focused on area spells, or nuker heroes like the following : where you are dumb enough to engage them when you don't have your killer items or your teammates are dumb enough to send you first when it's clash time

3. Disabler/ stunners/ aoe setters where one instant set which includes blink + area skill/ disable = gg TB:

(even with illus, you are dumb enough to use the skills knowing that illus receive more damage due to spells)



For the skill tree, i suggest that you follow this:

Hero level 1 4 6 8
Zeal
Increases your attack speed and HP regeneration. (easy aspeed increase and HP regen when farming, very important)

then

Hero level 2 12 13 14
Reflection
Terrorblade brings forth a dark reflection of all enemy units in a small area. Affected units are slowed and attacked by their reflections for 5 seconds. (for easy farming and confusing enemies when its clash time)

Hero level 3 5 7 9
Metamorphosis
Transforms Terrorblade into a powerful Demon with a ranged attack and illusions. (safety first, for those heroes that get lost in the forest. use this to kill them or to confuse them then run)

Hero level 10 11 16
Sunder
Sunder severs the soul from both Terrorblade and a target hero, then exchanges them, carrying part of the units' life forces. The percentage hit points of each unit are switched with the souls. (use your skill point only after TB can engage with enemies and having them when level 6 is useless, costs 200 mana)

Hero level 15 17 onto 25
bonus stats

For the enemies, since TB is focusing on the neutral forest you will not have any problem unless, VERY IMPORTANT, in order for you to have safe passage along your forest area always hold the top tower (forest area 2 for scourge) and bottom tower (forest area 8 for sentinel) because if the towers gets pushed in the early part of the match and your enemy is competitive (they know that you are in the forest= observer wards= no farming anymore= goodbye IMBA TB)

Now for the items that you need early on in the game. I would suggest that if you are focusing on the forest and ignoring the world outside (your teammates and enemies) you should focus on building your lategame items immediately.

Now for the starter pick items choose the following:

then focus farming for about 5 to 7 minutes would give you this


Now for the more intense items I would like first to highlight this:
I know very expensive but the greatest investment item for every game. Good statbooster + slow= sure kill
Now for the items needed for the recipe, it's your call as long as you can buy a Skadi for less than 30 mins. I know that for those progamers out there, 30mins is too much but that is the best record I had when I use TB.

Now for the rest of the items, i would suggest buying these after having a Skadi. Follow the order:
more illus= more killing power
not an orb effect for the main so maim+ slow= OUCH!!!
For the tank types where ordinary attacks are useless
then follow up the crystalis for this one
ultimate hero killer which includes killing the carry hero of the opposite team
THIS IS THE DREAM ITEM BUILD

If you can't afford the items listed, then settle for the ff:
goal is 30mins or less
immediate goal after skadi
for added slow (maim) and aspeed for TB


If still having difficulty then go for this, you can omit the skadi build for 30mins and opt for this item build which is far easier:

this is your main item build instead having skadi


I know that having so many items to buy would be very difficult because it's very expensive. But believe me having the skadi alone would increase TB killing power tenfold and the other items are just support items for TB to further increase his killing power.

Now for the forest farming method, actually there is no method I would suggest than keeping the forest clear of enemies, wards, and having the towers pushed top and bottom as stated earlier because that would hurt TBs farming mode.

Now a simple tip, for those in the senti side choosing TB, you can do this to help your farming mode a bit easier. First refer to the map then for forest area 8 you can stack the neutral creeps if you attack them around 50 sec border a minute then let them follow you in order for the area where they respawn to be free and when the clock hits the next minute, viola 2 sets of neuts for you. Then do this, pull the neutral creeps when your bottom creepwave is coming to forest area 8 (where you stacked the creeps) if your timing is right instead of 5 normal areas for creeping in the forest, you just had 6 neutral creep families to slay.

That's it. Thanks for reading and comments/ suggestions are happily taken into consideration. If we can improve the way we use heroes then its no problem. Keep playing and enjoy dota.

***I'm sorry if no videos for easier tutorial are available because this is my first time to make a guide and I always play in gaming cafes where the games are always pub hence, I can't access images or videos of replays involving me using TB.***
