I.Introduction:

Although the Earthshaker is a strength hero, his real power lies in his spells. With a well-placed Echo Slam, Raigor can single-handedly level an entire team of enemies if they are foolish enough to bunch together. His Fissure spell is very versatile. While it deals decent damage along with a stun, it also creates an impassible wall of rock for several seconds. A skilled Earthshaker can use this to his advantage, blocking enemy movement and trapping hapless foes between a rock and a hard place. Enchant Totem gives him a significant damage boost for one attack, and his passive Aftershock ability causes a minor stun and damage effect under him every time he casts one of his spells. Although he is one of the more difficult heroes to use to his full strength, he is also one of the most deadly heroes in skilled hands.

II.Background Story:
In the barren-lands, tales spoke of tauren sages reaping the essence of dirt. Their consciousness melds with the brown beneath them. The loam becomes the conduit of their mental thought and reality. These warriors were feared for they could summon massive ruptures at their mere whim. So tremendous was their power that their magic leaks out of the earth violently with every spell. Sadly these sages mysteriously faded from the land. When the World Tree was threatened, couriers searched for these mighty ones but found just one. A young adept, Raigor Stonehoof, seeks battle to weave new tales of these shamans.

VI.Item Build:

-Boots of Travel would be a great item for ES but you will have to need to farm well.
-Out of my experience Arcane could also be a good item because it gives mana and most of my friends,teammates and other Dota players prefer it too.



-This item can easily help you commence your combo and that is Echo Slam with Aftershock, make sure to aim the ulti in good shape so your combo would be more effective.
-Blink can be used in many ways like when your chasing an opponent or when you are the one being chased.



-With this your Echo Slam will get better effect so you can have a better chance to finish off your opponent.
-Echo Slam will become very useful against groups so aim it at the middle for a direct hit.



-What ES needs is mana,Bloodstone could give +400mana and +200 mana regeneration.
-Bloodstone could also give him Hp and regeneration to make him solid.
-Correct me if Im wrong but this item is questionnable because it works at my previous fights with mana regeneration but I now replaced it with Bloodstone.



-This is the most important item for ES because of disable to finish off your combo.
-Always get this item and never doubt it because this is what ES needs.



-This item is optional to your enemies if you really need avatar for magic immunity.
-If you really cant stand a chance to their skills then you need magic immunity.


-If you want to give ES extra solidness, HP, armor and attack speed, you have your two choices over here. (These items are also optional.)

VII.Allies

-These are your allies who can help you bring back escaping foes and initiate your ultimate combo.
-Vacuum,Xmarks the spot,Swap , Toss and Hook.

VIII.Enemies
Mana Drainers


-These are the ones who makes your mana problems worse and you know you dont wanna lane with them.

Silencers

-With these guys as opponents you wont be able to activate your combo or a single skill at all.

I have played a lot of games with Raigor and he is a great hero with a very effective combo ulti, he is now one of my favorite because all of the fun games I have played with dominating skills and rampages(once or twice a game).Thanks for all those who supported me and helping me to make this guide.
