I Foreword

Traxex, The Drow is one of my favourite DotA heroes. I am playing her since 6.71 and I enjoy every game in which I pick Drow.

Now, why would I want to write a guide to a hero, which seems so easy to operate? Well, mainly because I love playing Traxex, but also I feel that the current guides on her don't please all their viewers.

I hope you will ENJOY reading my guide to Traxex, The Drow Ranger!

II Introduction

Story:

Traxex was a skilled archer in her opressive underground homeland, the Underdark, until she grew sick of her king's evil ways and fled to the surface world. As a part of her resolution, she joined the Sentinel, bringing her excellent marksmanship to the fray. Some of her abilities include stripping magical beings of their voices, and enchanting her arrows with an icy cold. While such powers are valuable, her true origin will never cease to linger around in the judging eyes of others.

Key Playing Points:

Map: Always keep an eye on the map for any dissapearing enemy heroes. Drow is a carry. Carries are the targets of early ganks. If you will not check the map, the enemy team will spoil your early game. Spoiled early game = spoiled late game for carries.

Items: As nearly all carries, Traxex is item dependant. However, thanks to Marksmanship, she is not as bad in as Azwraith or Terrorblade, whose game is spoiled by the lack of powerful items.

Attributes [more details]: Drow's attributes are average, however, thanks to Marksmanship again, she makes up for her weaknesses. Her two strong attributes are her high attack range [625] and her night vision [1800].

Creeps: Traxex isn't a very good farmer. No burst damage, no map control, no AOE. Denying and last-hitting is an important aspect of her early game.

Skills: Drow's skills are great. Frost Arrows are one of the best slows in the game. Silence is very long and AOE. Magnificent Trueshot Aura, which gives additional ranged damage. Marksmanship is an attribute skill [like Centaur's Ultimate], which makes Traxex an extreme ganker.

III Roles

Carry: Traxex is perfect at killing lone, weak heroes. But to carry, she needs enough gold to buy items. So...always participate in team fights, kill neutrals and farm creeps, until you are ready to own.

Ganker: Drow's skills make her a nice ganker. She has a great night vision [compared to other heroes], a great slow, a long silence and a high AS.

IV Skills [more details]

Frost Arrows - "R":

A great slow with no cooldown. Low mana cost [late game]. DecreaseS enemy's AS. Unfortunatly, doesn't affect magic immune units.

Silence - "E":

One of the longest silences in the game. Perfect in teamfight [it's AOE]. Medium mana cost and cooldown.

Trueshot Aura:

A nice skill overall, increases your and allied ranged damage in 900 AOE. Doesn't lose efficiency in late game, thanks to the percentage of base damage turned into additional damage.

Marksmanship:

One of the best attribute ultimates in the game. 45 agility [level 3] translates into +45 AS, +45 damage and 6.3 armour.

Justification: Trueshot Aura is taken first, because it doesn't have any mana cost and is a neccessary skill to farm early game. Frost Arrows are taken second, because they work well with the ultimate and they won't be needed in early game, since there is no ganking for Drow at first. Silence is a must on level 4, since at that time most spellcasters will grow in power and try to kill you. Silencing spellcasters is comparable in usefulness to disabling them. Marksmanship is gotten whenever possible.
