Hello. I will post here a guide how to play with Jakiro. Its a hero who people dont pick so often because they think its not so dangerous. But i will show in this post that Jakiro is very useful hero in all stage of games.

Introduction

Its a sentinel inteligence hero.Not easy to play with him because 3/4 his spells u need to use wisely and well aimed.It can make alot of damage/disable enemy heroes and save ur teammates from death.Here is the skills he have :

1.DUAL BREATH
Jakiro's twin heads let loose an icy blast followed closely by a wave of fire, each dealing initial damage. Enemy units are both slowed and dealt fire damage per second for 4 seconds.

2.ICE PATH
Creates a path of ice in front of Jakiro. After 0.5 second, the path explodes and freezes nearby enemy units. Has 1100 range.

3.LIQUID FIRE(passive)
Straight from the belly of the beast, Jakiro slowly harnesses Liquid Fire when he attacks to burn his victims (175 AoE), and slow their attacks.

4.MACROPYRE
Jakiro unleashes a line of pulsing flame strikes in front of him. Each flame strike deals damage per second for 5 seconds, and has a 225 AOE radius.

Tips and tricks about playing :

Early game :

Pick your lane,and just try to kill creeps and to spam ur enemies with autoattack (hopefully they will get burned with Liquid fire) untill u get lvl4,because dualbreath on lvl1 is waste of mana.After that u can pretty good harras enemies because dualbreath do good damage and good slow.Hopefuly u will farm Soul Ring fast,and thats where real fun begin.With soul ring u can spam ur dualbreath more often then before,that mean more farm and more difficulity to enemies on ur lane.When u max dualbreath and liquid fire then farm begin.With those 2 skills = whole wave of creeps dead and alot of money.

Mid game : Hopefuly u will finish Lothars Edge till 15-20 minutes. This items give u great chance to push further and stay alive (enter in windwalk and escape).WIth liquid fire u destroy towers faster too.So point is push untill tower,try to destroy tower and if u see enemies coming just go little back and use Lothar and proced to next side to farm more.When u finish Boots of Travel then u become farming machine. Whenever you see enemy creeps alone without enemy heroes just use teleport to your nearest creep and start farming and pushing.If enemies coming use lothars and escaple little,use again Boots of Travel to another side and do the same thing.This combo of Lothar+Boots of Travel give u very good farm/push,survival.

Late game : If everything go well with earlier tips u should have farmed Aghanim Scepter and Hex or Shiva.And then u are real nightmare for enemies.

Combat tips :
I will explain how you use best combo of ur skills with your items.Soul Ring give u extra mana so you can spam your enemies alot. Lothars give u invisible so u have time to aim good your ulti,and when you use your ulti then you use Ice Path to froze enemies so they are trapped in you ulti and they take alot of damage,and then use dual breath to slow them. You can combine this combination with Hex item or Shiva to slow them. Its gonna be hard first time,but with good practice you will pwn all.


Wrong things about Jakiro :

1. Wrong thing is when people think he is support and make support from this hero. This hero have abbilities to be a good ganker and damage dealer.With good item build it can be nightmare for heroes.

2. Armor and Health : I saw ppl make first item on him Bloodstone or Vanguard or even Blade Mail. I think its wrong because you dont need to tank.Your job is to come from enemies back or to enter in fight last and to make some good damage and die. You dont need to tank or to fight alone.
