Qm. Conclusion

[Qa.] Ahh Banehallow. The feared hunter and chaser and sometimes tank.This build will focus on the killing aspect of Lycan because there are many other heros who can tank better with less effort. While this guide is not for noobs, lycan is a good hero for those just getting used to the game and are moving to the next level of heros.(after nub friendly ones eg. sniper)

[Qb.] Stats
STR 22+2.75
AGI 16+1.9

With a strong str gain and average agi gain, u should have much trouble with survivability. Your mana pool may be troublesome early game but later it wont matter much.

[Qc.] Skills
I will inform the reader in advanced that this guide does not contain much actual data on the skills and will just be going over what they do and how to use them. For full information on stats/skills go to http://www.playdota.com/heroes/lycanthrope

Summon Wolves
Summons 2 wolves that are under your control
There is much debate over how useful the wolves really are. In my games, I find that the wolves are situational. I believe this is a must if your soloing, and can be used to hold the lane/harass with minimal microing skills. NEVER let them die near your enemy, its free gold/experience. Also never underestimate them. lvl 4 wolves can pack a big punch and are also invis so they can be used for scouting.
