Anub`arak - The Nerubian Assassin

get the dagon, and dont spam stun, spam mana burn, THATS WHY U HAVE IT!!!

vendetta got upgraded
Level 1 - Deals 225 backstab damage. 10% movement speed.
Level 2 - Deals 375 backstab damage. 15% movement speed.
Level 3 - Deals 525 backstab damage. 20% movement speed.

Yea this hero is cool just spam mana burn and annoy the crap out of people.

mages can kill this hero with ease~ but their movement speed need to be 400+ and/or slow/stun enemy cos the ulti is invisibility so they can sneak up from behind.

Theres a bug in Nerubian... When Vendetta is activated, then MoM's frenzy while invisible, vendetta gets disabled

@ VALIANT
Its not a bug

i personally think this hero is WICKED SICK, i mean it can combo ( 525 + 260 +300 = 1085 dmg combo, and it you dagon it, 1485) plus a stun and able to leak mana from the enemy PLUS A SNEAK ATTACK INVISIBILITY, and PLUS 8 ARMOR, LAWLERCAKES, this is all melee's attacker's enemy

"a noob arak"... int and melee heroes hate him... nuff said

use 2cranium basher and power threads then m'joulnir then vladimir and buriza then anything that you want im sure even brad warden wont stand a chance

Lol Newbie, Ok Perfect build?
Power Treds
Dagon
Satanic
Butterfly
Butterfly
Battle fury

get arcane ring abuse use skills... sure kill for every hero you encounter

why do peps love dagon for nerub i prefer him with basher, treads, battlefury, SnY , butterfly , and assault cuirass

hey MoM vendetta bug guy Valiant are u a
newbie??? how long have u been playing

best hero meele vs meele buy battlefury vladimir battlefly powertreds Blade Mail Arcane Ring and spam mana burn stun and use the ultimate to atack not for escape and arcane ring with this tactic you are INVINCIBLE is me preferate hero

annoying owning

get lothars, u use it when they see you and they all like O SNAP HE GONNA USE VENDETTA! so they retreat and they come back after a while and then u use vendetta and then they like zomg wtf how u use vendetta twice? mana burn hurts early game and is quite spammable so unload ur nukes on him right away so mana burn has no effect blad mail and carapace work quite well together and impale is a good nuke with a decent stun throughout the game

if ur facing melee agi heroes just get
3 blade mails
1 heart or satanic
theyll fully kill themselves in secounds with 100% melee dmg return (best for killing those late game heroes mort, stealth ass, etc)

One of the best counter for melee heroes.. INDEED

wicked sick!@#!@#

thus Spiked Carapace stack with the melee return item?

ive killed him with azwraith, pudge and faceless b4 :)

For Anub'arak:
Power Treads
Sange and Yasha
The Butterfly
Battle Fury
2 Bashers

anubarak is a great hero for 1-1 battle ... at early playing, send him to middle lane and get basillus for mana burn... wait until level 6, no one can surpass him
coz of mana burn in level 1-6 even great harraser like zeus or lich then after that buy 2 ironwood enuf for doin a single combo vendetta-impale-manaburn,
then after that hunt for enemy, combo then n get back to base to reload our ammo dont forget buy a portal, save ur time, then aim to buy battle fury coz anubarak isnt good farmer, at late game his combo didnt work well again so buy item that enuf to overcome our enemy

Dagon lvl 5
Power Treds
Butterfly X2
BAttle Fury
Deso

srry for the double post but yeas u can get those items
and ull stil have gold left over

its really hard but once u get dagon lvl 3 its gg cuz no one can take u

what combo is the best for this hero!!!!!!

lol you burn others mana by burning 115 of ur own

you lose 115 mana but you burn your enemies mana which means that he has 260 mana lost and u did 260 damage

Impale, Mana Burn, Vendetta and then backstab them, normal atk then dagon wen ur unable to chase any further

Hood of Defiance and harass by spamming manaburn. Then your nearly immune to all spell casters and melee heroes. At late game, the spell casters will have a high mana cap and won't be as effective. You could try Necronomicon if your good at macroing.
Such a tank when you buy him armour at late game as well, but hes supposed to be a DPS hero.

item of my choice

BoT
Bottle (can get rid of it in midgame)
Dagon
Hex
Necronomicon Book
er.. other slot figure tat out urself.. haha =X

can nerubian assasin defeat barathrum 1on1

th best item for this hero is;
1.power treads
2.blade mail2x
3.vladimir offering
4.eye of skadi
5.butter fly or assault cuirrass

my favorite hero,..
at the start of the after getting to lvl 4-5 you can kill a melee or int hero,..by the mana burn your opponents wil lose the mana they need for they're combo with 2 mana burn,..they're almost no mana lft,..after this impale,..then mana burn,..but at the start of the game i prefer u have an arcane ring,headress of rejuverration.

Wah! Wah! Wah! This hero is like... almost perfect! Get him a Power Treads, SnY, Butterfly, Eye Of Skadi, Radiance and Assualt! This hero now OWNS!!!

dagon is useful, consider gettin sange n yasha since he is an agi hero. good strategy 4 kills is:
use vendetta a while away so they dont c u. then backstab then impale. you should be able to get a few hits in. by now thay should b on low health, so spam mana burn until you get the kill

Does backstab work when the enemy hero has truesight?

my personal build:
1. desolater: you need it to deal an added damage to backstab..
2. dagon: use it to last hit an enemy..
3. treads/BoT: doesn't matter which..
4. battlefury: you're going to need this if you want to farm effectively or at least gain extra damage to your attacks..
5. assault cuirass: why? every agi type heroes need enough attack speed to finish off enemies.. plus it adds alot of armor to add with spiked carapace.. i dont recommend blademails coz anub already has dmg return.. buy blademails ONLY if you're confronted with lots of melee heroes..
6. at this point any other items will do.. like arcane ring, another battlefury.. butterfly or MKB.. even radiance or HoT if you like..

comment if you like..

well... I believe the NA is one of the strongest 'casters' in the game. I always went arcane ring, treads, sny, bkb, battlefury, and then dagon... he is a monster w/ that item build. All of his powers are basically low cd and really not bad of a mana cost. I find that w/ this build I can still dish out massive damage, but I can also harass and be a great team player. This series of items make me deadly through-out the whole game, and not very weak against anybody in early, mid, or late game. If you are pro and you play this build, you are sure to pwn.

My fav "HERO" ...........!!!!!1!!!!

Nerub is Crazy!!!

this guy can beat the living jesus aut of centaur with his mana burn

i usually use for him, in late game this:
1. PT
2. S&Y or Skady
3. battle fury
4. butterfly
5. butterfly
6. assault cuirass

is one of the best counters for stunners with low mana, like centaur, rig, sven etc.

3 nukes (pretty much) instant win...

It's all about the vendetta and mana burn.

all you need is 2 blade mails and 2 vanguards and one heart or satanic and then its GG

all you need is 1st 2 blade mails and 2 vanguards and one heart or satanic and then its GG

The idea is to seek and destroy . . . find, punish and kill!

*Power Treads
*Wraith Band x2
*Dagon 5
*Battle Fury
*Sange and Yasha

this guy ROCKS! his skills are like crazy, and his stats are awesome...their like perfect. some ppl would call this guy IMBA but to me hes GG.

i want to use NA against PA whats a good build versing PA and do not mention the blade mail build please.

anub'arak triple kill in mid game!

Don't Mess With this Guy!

He's Truly An Assasin!

He got Almost everything The Strength The Invisibility, stanner, and manner drainer!

What else can you wish for?

Promise the best item for Anub`arak is Arcane Ring and Dagon 5

Treads
SnY
Dagon
Basher
Basher
Hyperstone=====> Cuirass

It says ult lasts 60 sec. . .? and cooldown is 60 sec o.o? that means u can activate ur ult, wait about 55 seconds, atk your enemy, wait about 3 seconds, and use ur ult again =]. or the duration of the skill at the top might be wrong dont hate me

umm whos a good hero to use against nerubian? my friend only picks him and im not sure who a good counter hero is

well hes a really annoying hero to face off against early and mid game. His late game relies heavily on how well he did on early and late game. Depending of the skill of the player you can pwn them with obsidian destroyer's astral imprison. I would say dragon knight would be a safe bet because dk only really needs his stun, and later when nerub's burn becomes obsolete you can shrug off the mana lost. Also his nukes will be semi ineffective against you because your a str type and you have high regen i like to go bfurry with Dk so hp and mp are no real problem for me just need 100 mp to stun him when he gets cocky or nto it doesnt matter much with DK.

If you've got a Buriza are you then abel to scora a crit with vendetta? it would hurt quite a bit..

Umm lol.
Treads (AGI)
Dagon
Satanic
Butterfly x2
Battle Fury.
So i am agreeing with GaNkStA

my layout...

null talisman
dagon
battle fury
monkey king bar

(satanic and fly could switch depending on game)

eventually switch talisman for treads


what you think?

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM GUAM

hmmmm...

one of my favorite...


just build him dagon for early games... thennnnn,,,,,,,,,, battle fury, butterfly and buriza... what a great item building...





Happy new year pud d.ay from Cebu, PHILIPPINES...

simply one of the most annoying heroes, whether solo or team play. With just a Dagon, boots and Arcane ring, you can OWN the field...

pls here are the true items for him...

power treads
battle fury
stygian desolator
dagon 1(DONT MAX IT!)
butterfly
monkey king bar

then ull see what a TRUE assasin means!

what about this???

1. power treads
2.vlad´s (mana reg+hp reg+lifesteal=can´t be wrong can´t it?)
3.S&Y
4.basher
5.basher
6.monkey king bar

a build for those who like to permadisable your opponents

@mooe
I do not think it is a good idea to mix bashers and mkb. The mini-stun of mkb will cancel previous bashes. Therefore, you should replace the mkb with a butterfly.

try him against tiny

to mooe:

mkb cancels basher

oh shit
sorry
i forgot this... but butterfly is a good idea

usually i buy a battlefury 2 farm faster 2 get other items such as dagon, butterfly n mkb

ohh yeah 2 kill, use ulti manaburn impale whack whack whack manaburn chase...impale whack pwnage

dude, i got this guy's armor to 32 with some plate mails and chitinous armor skill, but i stil took damage from creeps hitting 21-25.

NA+dagon+refresher orb+skadi+butterfly+power tread.... try it... opponent will be sreaming!! as they become wicked slow....huhu... gg playa add me ericongq

whats the best items for this plz tell me

balanar davion raigor tiny can take this guy
actually it all depends on the user

erm..does blade mails stack wit Spiked Carapace?i'm just a noob hus dying to noe..

My build
Elu
Boots
Yasha
Treads
S&Y
Blademailx2
*Tanking or High Damageing Item Here*

Elu's give you enough mana and some nice movespeed as well as a handy disable. You see 2 hero's one with half hp, Vendatta in, attack elu the other guy stun, attack finish with burn. With his combo damage it should only take a couple seconds

knowing that anub is a backstaber
its better if u ur build is
1.treads
2.assault cuirras
3.desso
4.basher
5.basher
6.radiance

this build is sure 2 kill knowing ur attck speed is fast hitting the enemy hurts already by the aura of cuiras and the negative effect of deso 2 the opponent,already being killed by the attack having also the effect of bash
making the opent useless 2 run or fight

kung my comment sa buil ko paki comment sa fwendster ko i2 rakionmaster2006@yahoo.com

...third time playing...chose anub'arak...1885 dam in 3 secs...GOD LIKE...sweetest words iv'e ever heard... i am new to this game but my strat for anub'arak is to get
1.sobi mask
2.void stone
3.power treads
4.sobimask
5.dagon (5)
wat i did to totally pwn people in 3 secs was venngaurd 565dam,then impale stunning and dealing 300 dam mana burn for 260 then dagon for 800 dam. i managed this in 3 seconds dealing a total of 1865 dam! good against anti mage cause he doesnt have a chanse t blink

soz guys i ment ( venndetta ) anyways u'll prob be wondering void stones? sobi masks? this is because i recon anub'arak's damage relies on his mana. with 200% mana regen and 1885 damage on a 60 second cool down he is perfect for ambushing nukers or anyone with under 2k health. it helps if they dont have life stealing becuase when they finally get out of stun they will probably run bacues they down to lik e10% hp but if they have life stealing and attack u ur dead cause i spec him for nukes

Definitely my favorite hero
Dagon 5
BoT
Lothar

you can get between 5 hero's kill the weakest one and get out with lothar

vendetta + impale (if possible stunning in the direction of a few more heroes) + hit a couple times + dagon + mana burn + lothar

you can assassinate the weakest link in the herd

if the game is all melee

this guy is great

just finish 5 or 6 blademails

hahahaha

Item Build:
Power Threads(Agility)
Vladimir's Offering
Battle Fury
The Butterfly x2
Necronomicon(Upgrade to Level III)

@ muhamadali2006

Don't get Assault Cuirass for
invis characters. your enemies
will know u r there because if
they r smart then they will see
the -5 armour aura. Your better
to get mana regen items so u can
spam mana burn etc.

use vendetta first then attak after that impale then mana urn then attack

If ur goin against mostly melee(mainly str) type heroes i suggest geting 2 blade mails. They're pretty cheap and and can stack with ur spiked carapace. For ex. when i played ursa he pretty much killed himself from return damage even though i was perma stunned.

While the vendetta-impale/burn combination sounds really good, I think your opponents are idiots if they don't buy any sentry wards / true sight by the time you reach level 6.

I find it unbelievable to get a kill in early game ON YOUR OWN (i.e. before level 6) especially with your low mana base. Unless, of course, the opponent is an idiot again.

Also, while it's plausible to kill AM with the vendetta-impale-burn-dagon combo IF you have the element of surprise, AM is actually one of the

few characters I'd stay away from, especially if he comes with Necros. ZERO mana against AM not only makes you vulnerable with no disables / escape skill, but it'll only be a matter of time before his AS outdoes yours, or he'll use his ultimate.

This char is GREAT! he has no absolute weaknesses and does amazing damage. Plus, if mana burn is spammed (as it better had be) then casters or heroes with high damage skills are SoL

I agree with jnutse and he didnt even mention the fact that AM has spell reduction that turns your deadly nukes into a simple irritant. While you can beat AM with your damage return and some Blademails, I would not search for a full health AM with plans to gank him.

What do you think about giving him the same build as void's :

-power threads
-mask of madness
-basher
-basher
-butterfly/buriza

seems to me that void's combo (time walk + chronosphere) is a lot like nerubian's vendetta + impale.

- treads (agi)
- S&Y
- Vlads
- Battlefury
- Butterfly (Long game in order to get)
- Radiance (impossible to get unless REALLY long game)

Item Build:
Power treads(agi)
Radiance
Battle Fury
Dagon 5
Cuirass

böcük böcük uuu waa

If i have 2 Blademail on this hero , will Ihave 100% dmg return ? and this works only for melee enemy heroes no ?

1.Dagon 1 DON'T UPGRADE
2.Guinsoo's
3.BoT
4.Necronomicon 1/2/3

what is the weakness of this character?

It's this hero a early-mid game hero or a late hero ?

It's Manta a good item for him ? mana burn + feedback + feedback from your clones = NO MANA

when Im playing 1v1, against a meelee hero, with this hero, i make 5 blade mails, and treads. Not a chance in hell to hurt me, + hitting me results in 140% damage returns. Killer stuff.

thegunsliger, if he uses skills or something like dagon shiva's guard or summonables he will not get damaged by melee dmage return

@ supaplecs - manta is ok - not the best cos ure ulti is designed to be sleathy

getting SnY to increase MS and health or Mjolinir is good for damage

My build in apem game
2 circlets, 4 tangos, lesserclarity potion

Farm and get in order:

Witch one is better for Anub'arak ?

anubarak sucks have a friend who use anubarak and he always lose!!! sucker

perhaps because your friend isnt experienced, or your opponents are too strong. perhaps you could help him eh?

I wonder why there is no strategy posted for this hero...

I just used this hero and went 28-6 with him. OMG he's pwnage.
My build:
Treads
Battlefury
Manta Style
HoT
and if time allows get assault curaiss and lastly butterfly OMG pwnage

let me tell you a trivia about anub` . he is also an anti mage ^^, why? do this,
use a int build, use dagon. when you weild this item in lvl 11. anyone who walks through your path can be disoriented. ^^. impale(300dmg)+manaburn(260)+vendeta(375dmg)lvl2+dagon(400dmg)
see what i mean? what int hero would have a hp exceeding 900 hp in lvl 11? see what i mean? not including lvl gaps if you abuse your skills during lvl 7-lvl 11. (if your enemies are all str dont bother its useless)
thats all^^ peace

what are the best item for this hero???

i never use this hero before

dagon on this guy is imbalanced.

Lvl 11 w/ dagon: 375 (backstab) + 300 (impale) + 400 (dagon) + 260 (mana burn) = 1325 dmg.

IMO this guy needs a serious look over. His stat gains are well balanced and he has more nukes than most int heroes. He is a retardedly strong killer between the levels of 7 and 16.

Anub Arak is one of the most powerfull heroes in dota ,so my build for anubarak is:(1v1-2v2-3v3)
1.Power Treads
2.Blade Mail
3.Blade Mail
4.Vladimirs
5.SnY
6.Buttefly

(4v4-5v5)
1.Power Treads
2.Battle fury
3.Butterfly
4.Sange Yasha
5.Vladimirs
6.Radiance

power treads
dagon
blade mail
b fly

is desolator useful with this hero?

Here's My item Setup:

Power Threads(STR) - for movement and atk spd. Why Strength? a little life boost

Linken Sphere - mana and health regen for skill spamming. the bonus stats will also improve your atk speed, health and mana pool.

S&Y - maim, movement and atk speed, these attributes are very useful specially when chasing heroes. you can replace this with EoS but that's damn harder to complete compared to S&Y.

Butterfly - Evade, damage and atk speed

2 MKB's - atk speed and damage

He can annoy anyone except Ulfsaar

Even with his spiked carapace, The return damage is too low... Plus, Ursa has a low base damage. It only gets higher with the subsequent stacking of the swipes. Enrage and swipes wont come back since they are skills not normal attack damage

anyway, my build for Anubarak
Dagon 1
Boots of travel
Battle fury
vanguard
Desolator
Either Cuirass or butterfly depending on the situation

In a combo , you'd deal about 400 + 525 + 260 + 300 = 1485 excluding base dmg.

@ dropsofice, cool I didnt know that man thanks for sharing (no sarcasm, im serious) But yea he can piss anybody off just simply by mana burning them I cant go a game without getting cussed out using this guy....

this char ia a beast: items: null tailsman so u can spam mana burn n impale, two wriath bands, power treads (agi)Vladmiris offering and dagon or burakzon or w/e its spelled. That basically is GG, combo: vendetta, mana burn, imaple n then dagon or any order that seems to fit the situation. This is a great hero hunter, but not a good tanker

This guy is soo maddd

my build

treads
sny
vlads
butterfly
battlefury
dagon

love this hero

hey guys im new here so can i ask 1 question can the mana burn can damage

lol yes read more carefully on description!!!
