This is our first guide so sorry if there are any mistakes in this guide because my native language is not english.Our favourite Hero is Troll. We are just ordinary high school students and pub gamers. We, NeoNi[x]1(me) and VCN2nd(my cousin) played Dota 3 years ago. We consider ourselves nowhere near pros but we are decent pub gamers. Now without any delay I present you our guide:

]Intro
In our opinion Troll is the best agi carry with his insane attack speed and insane permabash. With his permabash, he can stunlock an enemy and keep him in place. He can kill his enemies in a jiffy. Permabash occurs with luck of course because DotA is 50% luck.

Skills

Berserker's Rage

Jah'rakal goes berserk, using his throwing axes as melee weapons. He gains bonus damage, movement speed, attack speed, hit points, armor, and the Bash ability, but can only attack at melee range.
Note: This skill lets you have more hp, damage, movespeed and the bash abilty.
Note: This skill lets you switch from ranged to melee and let you have more movespeed, damage and the bash ability



Blind

A searing light blinds the vision of a target enemy unit, making it miss on some attacks.
Note: This skill makes your opponents who are DPSers miss on most of their attacks on you and watch them call you a ninja!


Fervor

When Jah'rakal engages an opponent, his animalistic nature grants him even greater proficiency in single combat. With each continuous blow on the same target, Jah'rakal gains understanding of the prey's defenses, and guides each strike with greater ease than the last.

Battle Trance

Jah'rakal unconsciously uses dormant magic to awaken the savagery of every warrior on the battlefield. Greatly increases attack speed for a short duration, and lasts twice the duration on Jah'rakal.
Note: This skill gives you insane attack speed which lets you permabash.


Skill Build
The Cookie Cutter Build:
1-Berserker's Rage
2-Fervor
3-Fervor
4-Berserker's Rage
5-Fervor
6-Battle Trance
7-Fervor
8-Berserker's Rage
9-Berserker's Rage
10-Stats/Blind
11-Battle Trance
12-15-Stats/Blind
16-Battle Trance
17-25-Stats/Blind


Justification:
Fervor is maxed first because it gives us attack speed. Berserker's rage is maxed second because it is more important than Blind. Ulti is of course taken whenever possible. I prefer taking stats instead of Blind as it gives us more health, attack speed and damage but if you're up against a line up of heavy DPSers, taking blind will be better as it will give you an advantage in terms of 1vs1 with a DPSer.

Early Items
I usually start with 2x and 3x and 1x then upgrade the slippers into

Middle Items
The Boots I prefer is rather as Phase Boots give more speed and the invaluable Phase ability to chase those who are running from you. Most opponents who are facing Troll and sees troll with his ulti runs away immediately before the Troll player can bash his opponents. That's why Phase boots is better but if you prefer Power treads, suit yourself. Then buy to upgrade it to a. The 3 branches you bought at the start can be upgraded to a. The most important is

Late Items
If you are getting disabled and focused a lot buy a then get a to later upgrade it to a. Is also good because it gives you an extra bash and damage. The yasha can be upgraded to

Tips

-As you already know that the best DPSer in DotA is Troll. So if you are against a lineup of DPSers, Troll can be a choice you should consider.
-If you are with yellow hp and see an enemy alone, run away so he can try to engage you. When he engages you, directly switch to melee and us your ulti and if you're lucky you will permabash your enemy, replenish your health by using the mask you bought and maybe get a kill but if you're not sure that you will kill him, just run.
- You can start roshing when you are level 8 already have a HotD.
First dominate an ogre magi and let him cast Frost armor on you and go to roshan kill roshan. Don't forget to take the aegis and do it alone.

Synergies

Any disabler is a good ally to Troll as opponents often run when they see troll, disablers can help you land your ulti and permabash easily allowing for a faster kill.

some of them are, , and many more.

Special Mention

Tuskarr is a special mention because Troll have a problem when getting near enemies, Tuskarr can take you with his Snowball to easily get near the enemy and stunning your opponents in the process.

Counters

You're going to be nuked to oblivion by these heroes. , ,

Other Carries

They can be more dangerous than you in late game.

Strategy

Early Game

After you grab your items go to your lane. I prefer bot/sentinel or top/scourge. Lane,farm and harass your opponents and when you are level 5, go jungling.

Mid Game

When you are level 8, mid game begins go jungling and ganking until you have all your core items.

Late Game

If you farmed well and get a decent amount of kills, you will be dominating late game and start owning your opponents asses!!! Yeah!!!

Replays

Coming soon!!!
