Ezalor - The Keeper of the Light

Er....drew, the ulti description is wrong. its the same one form echo salm i think....

You can be rich if you choose ezalor First,you must buy boots of travel and dagger of escape.You can collect the gold without afraid killed because you can easy to run!!!Have FuN

he is a guy which after farming a guin, cyclone, doe and bot den can start pumping other heroes. all tis items add up to 11,475. it seems difficult but it means u haf to kill 285 creeps (each counted as 40 gold) which means 47 batch of creeps.which only takes up 23.5 mins. i know dat u cant get every batch of creeps. but how about 35 mins? after 35 mins den can start pumping heroes liaoz.. when u pump dem gd items, dey get gd killing, dey get gd killing = gd game

gayest ulti ever, if u destroy the Ignis Fatuus, the units die lol. ur team will love u if u buy them items though cos ur skills r ultimate farming items and theres sometimes a chance of killin someone who u cant see in early game (cos people always move back a little, but not out of range when low on health hahaha)

Ezalor Is VERY USEFUL IN DM MODE ...... so useful just farm with him leveling up in the process get the item build for a hero you want...then commit suicide but dont die to ur enemy...i did it once with nevermore....very..fun..getting souls was so easy that time....good times...good times

SKILL BULID: (...) 23.Ignis Fatuus 24.Ignis Fatuus 25.Ignis Fatuus Hmmm...I think its funny,that the ONLY guide for Ezalor says "DONT USE HIS ULTI" during the whole game...
WHY???

u can use his ulti as a farmin device and illuminate as farmin and chakra magic as supportin mages. his ulti is S-H-I-T house. one dwarven snipers ulti. Boom its gone.

I killed this guy using raigor stonehoof....you know....the earthshaker
so ezalor casts ignis fatuus
then I sneaked behind him then I used fissure then enchant totem so.....by this time there are alot of corpses around so that means there are alot of liberated souls around then I used echo slam
bbooooommmmm!!!!!!!!!
instant kill!!!!
mmwwaahahahaha!!!!

ignis fatus keeps ressurrectin corpses, a smart ezalor user will buy necro

power pusher he can push two lanes at a time...

how eezalor can push to at a time??????

ezalor

i hate this hero

this one time i was agaisnt him and he got scepter and heart
IM LIE WTF?

EZALOR? A TANK
and he summoned 3 ignus's (ulti) at a time and he pushed every single lane!

its annoying

Mana leak is crazy usefull. it doesnt come with a flashy animation so people sometimes done notice it, then when they cast a spells its good bye mana!

illuminate lvl 4 can kill a lane of creeps

question: if you wind walk (lothar), go to the bloody frontline, then channel illuminate (not yet firing it), will you break your windwalk???

This hero sucks!

he can be quite useful when fightin mages though. mana leak is very, very good. ud want more items to flee with than be all offensive. my build is BoT, Aghanim, Kelen Dagger of Escape, Arcane Ring and Linkens. meaning u can flee really fast and prevent bein nuked/polymorphed while regenerating mana at a crazy speed. if u hav ezalor on ur team, u cant be counterpushed.

Mana leak then illuminate. He spells you while your channeling then suddenly hes out of mana.

@ Hunter_13 - agree... XD

i hate this hero...not good at all. i will never use him in all picks

sif ezalor is pretty cool. awesome farmer and harrasser and pusher. why would u buy an arcane ring? early game should get the first blood every time. harrass them normally and illuminate will then do 625 dmg at 910 range, first blood. thats like almost better than queen of pain's ulti except she has no channeling and little more dmg. just illuminate and chakra all day for farming's sake. good build BoT, Aghanim's, Linken's, Dagger Escape, Bloodstone if u want more health, and maybe lothar's for running away from 5 heroes about to gank u cuz ur too good.

Ezalor is a support and pusher hero, no doubt about it but if a player buys him Dagon, Ezalor will be unstoppable.

My build for this hero are the ff:

1.BoT

2.Linken's

3.Dagger of Escape

4.Dagon

5.Aghanim's

6.Guinsoo

My favorite hero to use. I once got a triple kill with him. Just make sure you know where and how far to hide. :D

i got holy shit wif this guy he rox who wan the replay add me in msn poonjon@hotmail.com

lol, on YouTube, theres a Ezalor KS'er video, he farms neutrals on the enemy side for most the game. His ally chases low hp heroes so they fall back and Ezalor charges up Illuminate so the enemy runs straight into it. lol, its crazy.

I use this guys as a pusher and support, his abilities allow him to take down towers real quick, Support allies and harrass enemies. Ive won some matches with this guy, but he needs a good team to push and win fast cuz late game he is not very useful.. actually... he suks late game XD.

only his ulti is good for destroying towers, what r u talkn about?
at early game, he should solo until lvl 9, then support the rest of the game. he cant do much afta lvl 11

This has to one of the coolest heroes I have ever seen... Some people think it's weak but this is a very good pusher! You'll be very rich if you choose this hero! Illuminate Illuminate Illuminate!!!

@lupeman

This is a terrible hero to solo. Since he is a supporter why should he need so much experience? He should be supplying chakras to his harasser ally.

Unlimited farming is ALL i can say
UNLIMITED MANA(3RD SKILL) UNLIMITED FARMING(IST SKILL)WITH MONEY AND SO MUCH MANA, THIS HERO IS EXCELLENT SUPPORT, HE CAN ALL BUY ITEMS FOR HIS TEAMMATES

THIS guy cud go well with SLARDAR's ulti
I really enjoy using Ezalor....
ManaLeak is quite annoying especially on strength heroes like Rooftrellen and Raigor even Dragon Knight...
Use Basillus Ring for extra armor aura
for your liberated souls
Use them as decoy to wipe out enemy towers.Necrominicon book cud help...
Also keep an eye on Ignis Fatuus
If it dies all souls disappear
Healing from the spirits comes in handy

Really good hero! Really good when paired with anti-mage because of Mana Leak and Mana Void combo.

best hero for killing guys who play their first dota game
i remember when i played. i got killed many times because his first ability.

nerfed :(

i got double kill @ lvl 4 today.... lol nubz raged quit as well cos they lost to eazlor. they had klinkz and ursa warrior as well. :P.

I LOVE THIS HERO!!! (does not mean im a g**)

i seriuously mean it!!!

I've lost the least no. of games with this hero(including 1v1)

No chance for int heroes (80% mana drain) damn

No chance for agi heroes (600 dmg kills any agi hero) oh god

Whoops

Just imagine strength hero without hp and mana both!!!!

though this hero could not survive late games!!! why to play late games!!!

Use every possible idea to finish the game early and enjoy the long blow of illuminate... hah

just enjoy, i sd, don't give a devil's smile.
thnx

those were my thoughts. u may add urs!!!thnx


-VeRoN

this hero gets screwed if the other guy has arcane ring and lothars though, he no longer dominates early/mid game

That may be true, lupeman. :)
However, he's a great asset.
Just that if it's less than 4v4,
my Ezalor build goes from support/pusher,
to supporter/pusher/killer. :3

ezalor is a formidable opponent for me..

When i Used him against sand king and face his epicenter.. and live with half of my life with the same level.. that is a 3 on 3 game

i duno maybe my foes are fools but he farms too much that's why he is a formidable one.. ow BTW i got 1 radiance from him in just level 6 in a 3 on 3 battle

Holy shit is this hero awesome! I've never landed triple kills and went on kill streaks with any other Hero beside Ezalor. Early game he can really harass and underlevel heroes with his Illuminate and Chakra. He also has a fast starting attack speed. Just get him some damage and maybe a tiny upgrade to speed (Hyperstone?) and you're gonna be pulling in kills. You gotta get pretty good with Illuminate, though, time it like 5 seconds ahead in your mind if catching a running enemy. Overall, hes nuts.

http://dotaguide.blogspot.com/2007/08/guide-ezalor-keeper-of-light.html

what do you think of this strategy?

THIS IS VERY GOOOD HERO IN 5 ON 5.
1. AS HE HAS MANA LEAK HE CAN STOP ANY INT HERO AGAINST HIM IN ACTUAL FIGHT
2. HIS ULTIMATE IS VERY USEFUL TO PUSHUP THE ARMY FROM ALL SIDES THATS MAKE THE ATTACKERS TO DEFEND THEM SELVES
MY COMBOS ARE
1. TRAVEL
2. DESOLLETER
3. GINSU
4. AGHANIME
5. REFRESHER
6. MKB / HEART

Can anybody tell me a good item build for him?

a nice hero. love that chakra magic and mana leak hehe ", and its fun to use illuminate ",

want a new ps3,walkman and mobile phone? go to this site, http://www.xpango.com?ref=90703599. thnks. referral id: 90703599 its totally free!

THE KEEPER OF LIGHT
Ahhhhh!!!!
Oh well my build for weak Ezalor:

Radiance Burizado
Guinsoo Tarrasque
Blademail BoT

With this u'll have abt
+(70+75+60=205)
+Chakra 28%
+Critical damage (2.75)
+35 dps Radiance immolation
==>600-700 damage in single hit
Not to mention the Radiance dps
Use Guinsoo to finish or disable...

i played Eazlor just then and the game lasted for 94 minutes, 3v3. -aromst.
my final item build ended up bein boots of travel, radiance, butterfly, mjollnir, 2 vanguards and around 7k to pocket, i was goin to buy a heart, but thought about 2 blademails (their team had a tiny who got a divine rapier, blink dagger and satanic.)

I hate this hero so much....useless hero

this hero good for pushing
,but not alone,remember he is a support hero,a sidekick,a good fefender too..

this hero good for pushing
,but not alone,remember he is a support hero,a sidekick,a good defender too..

i don't think he is useless.lvl 3 ulti can heal him fast enough that can make it a tank. but still i hate this and it sucks

ok easy Desolator Blink dagger Assault AND HEART HEART!!!!

raelly like aghanism type ezalor very powervvul pusher

Ezalor is a strong hero early game, but weakens late game so you must finish the game quick.

my items:

mekanism
arcane ring
guinsoo scythe of vise
boots of travel
kellen's dagger of escape
heart of tarrasque

my items build

boots of travel
desolator
cuirass
vanguard
hood
meka

buy refresher orb for KEEPER because ulti (x2!) really ownage with refresher orb for those in AR game or pik for fun. trust me RO and.......staff.

not greatest hero thought, DOTA could do better. makes peeps look noob lol

Here's a tip, get Eul's and cyclone the enemy. Count for one second then start casting illuminate. Illuminate hits them every time. If you get a dagon too its really good for burst damage. Eul's is also useful for the survivability.

Re 23 4everdotanoob
Our final builds are identical
1.BoT
2.Linken's
3.Dagger of Escape
4.Dagon
5.Aghanim's
6.Guinsoo
Though I'm considering subbing in shiva's guard with the new patch.

I don't understand why strategy guides say Ignus is bad. I played a game with Ezalor and between Ignus and Chakra Magic, no one could beat me.

Items are awesome with this guy though. Without them he doesn't have much of a punch.

-Radio

whats does his ulti do?!

summons a spirit with cool... skills

wtf mate lol u confused me a lil bit but good set up thz ur good healper kk ty mate hope to see some more of your woek ok bro.....merry christams

i think he wins the title for best farmer & pusher. Illuminate and Chakra magic have extremely fast cooldowns... that means virtually unlimited spam and mana.

Im a huge fan of KOTL and play him very often. I usually go illuminate and chakra then his ult and stats and dont sue mana leak. I usually get scepter, but last game i got 5 hearts and man that was the best game ever i had with KOTL. 6500 hp i could survive 5v1 ganks. I won the game for our team cause the other team all focused on me and our dps then raped the other team and we pushed for the win. It was great.

Pusher/Support Build

Mekansm
Arcane Ring
Vladimir's Offering
Assualt Curiass
Radiance
Int Treads

Killer Build:

Dagon 5
Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse
Radiance
Eye of Skadi
Shiva's Guard
Boot of Travel

Ezalor is the best support hero of all if ur not too selfish. The best way to play him is to team with a intel hero that as good damaging spells. You chakra your friend and try damaging opponents early on. U make money to buy traveler boots. When you got your traveler boots and your lvl6 u can easily manage to push both side lanes alone while all of your friends push middle. You keep teleporting yourself and your fatuus from one lane to another. Use chakra on fatuus to fill his magic. You will be making crazy gold. DONT KEEP THE GOLD FOR YOU. Ezalor is not an assassin, hes a line pusher. Feed your allies items and get ready to win the game

For item build:

Easy Farming so..

BoS to BoT

Then Arcane Ring or for low HP a vanguard.

Switch your attetnion to Blink Dagger, Sceptre, Guinisoo ( Hex or Cyclone them and cast first skill , i think it lasts for.. 4 seconds..) Linkens might be alright or a refresher for his ulti? I have played him but on 3rd time, did not make all item required.

Happy Keeping

BoT
2x Null Talisman
Mekansm
Necronomicon lvl3
ShivasGuard / Dagger

If u dont feed ur allies with Ezalor
you are a total NEWB. Boots of speed then feed. If u try to play it selfish with Ezalor you will end loosing.

this is against furion...the summons of furion will die if the illuminate charge....just think about it....

this is the GAYEST Hero in Dota

super strong early in the game..

FEEDER late game..

no matter what item you choose for him he will still be a FEEDER..

FEEDER!!
FEEDER!!
FEEDER!!

hahahahaha..

Easy Build will be:

*BoT

*Linkens

*Blink Dagger

*Guinisoo

*Dagon would be handy in group gank.

* Oh forgot, Arcane Ring or Mekky,(depending on a game)

p.s @ LeeMinwoo

he is not tat nooby because he looks pretty pro next to you...dude, actually try to play dota before having a go at heroes you can't play...

Imagine Ezalor against Harbringer!!

MANA LEAK!!!! Harbringer says Bye Bye to his "ass kicking" mana pool

Errr I'm still new to DOTA but will it works if i use

heart
skadi
power thread(int)
hyperstone
butterfly
mithril + mithril(+60Atk)
( I forgot wats the weopen name )

Its like battle type Keeper Of The Light
I dunno if it will works XD, so i ask u guys about it

Pls giv me some advise abt it.

Hehe

well ok thats fine if ur gonna be a dps keeper of the light, but no one ever is, and it probs won't work mainly because he doesn't have the agi gain or skills to be a dps hero, and all those items are expensive. So really dont bother. He's only meant to be a pusher support hero and should rarely get close to the 5v5 battles. He should be sitting on the side charging illuminate in those situations and spamming mana leak against caster heroes with average mana, and HARBINGER. Oh nothing brings harbinger's orb into rest more than mana leak. Truely beautiful. I play him as a team disabler, supporter and pusher. Best game was 5/1 which is actually very good for him. You might be thinking, wow, 500 dmg in a line? ok well if the enemy is smart, they move out of the way before u shoot it. so no straight forward kills, cuz it takes up to 5 seconds to channel max dmg.

The items u should consider would be:

BoT
Aghanim's Sceptor
Orchid Malevolance
Eul's
Guinsoo
Skadi/Desolator/Bloodstone/Linken's/Blink/Necromonicon.

Btw desolator is the one that gives +60dmg (@FreeWill)

This hero isn't bad, he just isn't a hero killer.

why.. so many noobs out here. This is my fave hero. but he IS a feeder at mid to end game. I just played a game 5v5 with him, I had Aghanim's and HoT while my teammates just have sange and yasha, they told me i was the only one enjoying. and yeah, my zeus partner was SOOOO happy to be with me in the lane.Lighning bolt every cooldown. Hero = go home always. And noobs really hate him because they do not know how to use hime. scared of atropos? mana leak. SK's burrow + epi? mana leak.

just dont let the game to be in the end game, or else you'll be everyone's first target.
imagine this :
Ezalor + Furion early game = treants + illuminate or sprout + illuminate for sure harrassment.

Ezalor + Zeus = lightning bolt unlimited.

Ezalor + Rhasta = forked lightning, net, voodoo, ALL of them.

run around, help ur team and reap in the gold. Then own some people.

Not much else to say.

my build:
BoT
mekansm
guinsoo
shiva's guard
orchid malevolence
w/e else. maybe eul's

i know probly won't happen, but who knows? he IS a great farmer.

Try skadi and see what Ezalor can do at late game, its fkin useful in gangs

oh let's see

Super Farmmer,but very soft

He's soft and easy to kill, just jump out from the tress. Surely he panicked like shit at early game coz he got no slowskill and stun, a food for me. First Blood!

imo best hero for pm games
just let him farm for insane items for a hero like void and just hold on to RoR and BoS and just let him farm like no other.
= GG pretty quick

The BEST early game hero.
last time i used him in 5v5 game i got 1st blood lvl 2
and the 3next kills be4 any1 else.

but he kinda sux l8 game :(

This hero must keep a distance from other heroes at all time, or he is easy prey. He has basicly infinite mana because of chakra, so almost no need for mana items. Build health and armor items on him. Stay away, and illuminate when neccecary. Also, you can add manna, and dmg to your allies with chakra, while destroying enemy mana, eith leak. One of the best support heroes ever.

haha!! FIRST SKILL SUX!! SPAM SPAM SPAM!! INFINITE MANA!!! one blow of first skill,, say bye to creeps!! hahaha!!! and he's good,, use first skill from forest at early game 5 v 5,, voooooooooom, opponent with low hp, say bye once u're been struck!!

use the illuminate, like pudge's hook's or mirana's arrow. use it sneeaky, and smarty. and of course good for farm dor pushing.

chakra magic is really cool.

mana leak is always imba

ignis fatuus is not so bad.
must use fully in the game.
whenever cooldawn is finished use again.
low mana cost, excellent farming and pushing. don't use on heroes.

this is the reason why ezalor is a good farmer and pusher.

but in the late game. don't play solo.

I will read a guide. don't worry.

Awsome ownage hero...follow the folowing build and u should be owning in no time

1.BoT

2.aghanims scepter

3. LinKeNs

4.necroleon (level 1 should be ok till after u buy other items)

5.Dagon

6.Radiance

Ownage hero.....very bad for mana users lol..just mana leak and boom!!!no more mana

to counter this hero..u can use:
Drow rAnGer
Raijin Thunderkeg
and any other heroes which use very less mana lol....nukers would be disabled against him :D

Another AWSOME BUILD I KNOW BOUT THIS HERO IS:
1.BoT
2.LiNkens
3.RaDiance
5.Desolator
6.Mekanism

I used this in a 3v3 -DM ....the best support items for him ever!!!
Mekansm will give armour and heal team-mates..

desolator will lower enemies armour

linkens alolows u to tank any nuker...since the first nuke will not affect you

Boots of travel will allow u to push faster or to run away if u have nightstalker or FATHER PIGGY(Barathrum) on your tail :D

Question about Chakra Magic, when it says it "restores" the mana, that means it restores it after the mana cost, so at level 1 you are really only getting 35 extra mana right?

Add my GG jelu 10

Its the weakest character so I build:

BOt Vanguard 5x

Ezalor is one of the most powerful heroes that sentinel has. .because of his creep killing and hero harassing capacity from lvl 3 . .hes the only one who can make 6 DR for leisure if he wishes . .Well what i prefer for him would be 1.bot,2.Arghanim 3.Guinosoo 4.assault,5.skadi,6.buriza
he would have enough hp to live through out and enough damage to kill . . .. gg then

This fucker is one of the most imba hero killer with 28% bonus damage ( same as that of drow ranger ) and so much items that he could build in no time why cant you kill heroes instead of supporting your allies . . . just think who culd kill him after you increase your damage and put mana leak on him so that he could use just 1 spell and then hit hit hit till he starts running then HEX him and kill . .just teleport in any lane that has solo hero and kill him . .while your fattus pushes some lan

Ezalor is STRAIGHT RAPE if u use him correctly he can farm all day with those badass lane pushes. THis is wat i usually get.

Mekanism
Scepter(and u can farm like no other)
BoT

Then THe Game is over u can throw in other items if u want like Euls or Guinsoo for escape

actually, ezalor is one of the best hero's i know of, he can farm really fast and kills very fast too. once you farm enough money, u can hit alot, and i mean alot, not even pudge can stop him.

ezalor owns on the begging of the game so if i were you i would follow my new build for him.
Try to gain money the fast as you can than rush radianca buy treads and some bracer buy guinzo skady shivas armor and tarrasque. TRUST ME ,IT WILL OWNS

i tried this hero and.. i liked it!!! very good hero against most agi/int heroes, especially if you are good at timing with the illuminate!!!

fav hero. good combination with sven. our record for fastest game was below 20 mins on a 5v5 battle. our opponents were only at level 7 when their fighting mega creeps haha

Roflmao wow yea hes a good pusher man

probably the best pusher in the game, and maybe the best farmer too!!! great skills to support but i haven`t seen him in a competitive game, if someone have a replay or a video, please show me, i want to know how the pro's use him
