Early Game:

Levels 1-9:

Aim:

Just like most other heroes, your aim is farm and possibly get some kills. In fact, there's a cool way to get an awesome, early first blood (will be mentioned later).

Items (starting, finishing and reasons):

If Picked (good choice) (plus sign refers to "if randomed" (you lucky bastard)):

(X2 ) (activated courier)

Why Arcane Ring over Ring of Basilius or , Void Stone because they will only give you mana regen, which will lead to the following events: Use mana - wait (regen) - use mana. Whereas if you get Arcane you also get extra total mana and an immediate mana replenish so the events = use mana - use mana - immediate replenish - use mana - use mana, these events are much more active and rewarding.

Magic Wand? a lot people say this item is useless but i have my reasons, and here they are: as I emerged a regular player of dota, I decided that early stat adders (eg:Bracers or Null Talismans) (for most heroes) are a waste of time and money and i'm better off rushing my core itmes at this stage. So I get a good substitute that still adds SOME stats and gives you a minor heal that has saved me quite a few times during my time as a gamer.

Flying Courier? because it is a great way to continue to participate in the action while something else brings you any of the items you need, wether it be for recovery of continuing your builds.

Urn Of Shadows is an optional item to get instead of magic wand. this item gives you mana regen which WILL help in farming for the arcane. Plus the healing ability is pretty good, just activate and stay away from heroes and towers (creeps don't cancel heal). Another useful benefit is the early enemy harrasment from the active 200 dmg ain't bad especially on fragile ints and agis. Also 6 str which give you a small edge in early survival and the extra 6 dmg (from stats) might even help you grab the last hits on creeps and heros. However, if you plan to get this item I recommend getting at least 1 extra Ironwood Branch (preferably 2) (sell once you grab arcane), so that Raigor can have a bigger mana pool. If you accidentaly turn the Sobi Mask (part of urn) into Ring Of Basilius (starting items include Ring of Protection) don't worry you can just use the circle of power to disassemble it. In fact I actually recommend making the Ring of Basilius so that you can stack the mana regen with a supportive armor aura for an early supportive role (teamates will love you for this - and may repay you later)

Early First Blood:

This Process is easiest if you're Sentinel. If you're Scourge it will still be possible but much harder. When you have picked/randomed, buy your items and head down bottom lane (top for Scourge). Camp next to the first tower from your base. When the games starts and the creep wave starts moving, block it as much as you can, slow it's journey to your second tower. If you blocked well (since bottom lane for Scourge is quite hard to block creeps) you should meet their creep wave just after your second tower and right before the break in the trees (entrance to jungle). Once you get there, just creep around your tower and try to get into a good spot to cast Fissure To trap tem. NOTE: aim at the ground behind the enemy hero/heroes. Aim the fissure so that they have no escape without heading towards your tower, you, or your teamate. After that just hit them as much as you can. If you did all of those things well, the kill will be ensured, either by you, your ally, your tower or your creeps. If you don’t get the kill don’t feel too bad you still get some extra gold for assisting so great, plus that kill probably looked pretty awesome and made you feel pretty cool infact it might have even the opponent ragequit (happened to me numerous times). WARNING: if you don’t get the kill the first time, don’t try the EXACT same thing again (most will learn from your mistakes and be much more careful and make doing this again very, very hard). But don't shy away from doing a similar thing (blocking the enemies' escape).

VIDEO EXAMPLE:

Farming:

Like I said earlier, your aim is to farm. Aim for last hitting creeps and try to minimize hitting the creeps. To do this just give your hero a countless amount of “move” orders while you wait for the creeps’ health bar to go red. If you are someone like me (too lazy to repeatedly tap alt to check health bars) just open the options menu, hit gameplay and tick the box that says “always show health bars”. If have trouble keeping track of your mana and do not wish to have to glance either up or down (mana bar top left or mana numbers middle-left down), you can follow this link: http://www.dotastrategy.com/forum/ftopic28111.html and follow the instructions to install a function that enables showing of a mana bar under the health bars (which i told you how to enable)

Killing (heroes):

With Raigor, early killing is actually rather easy. Just make sure you have either a high damage ally or stunner nearby (or better yet a tower). Create a block (or a stun if block is too hard) Make sure you aim at the ground, don't aim at the hero. So that you can create an absolute spot for the Fissure to appear. Once blocked/stunned just pour on as many hits as you can and score the kill. If you don't get the kill and FISSURE wears off (no longer blocking) just use Enchant Totem to trigger aftershock, stun them and hopefully (with the extra damage) finish them off.

Also, be sure to use the tips from the video above to plan your moves and seal the fate of your enemies with numerous traps.

Early Killing:

Surviving:

During early, you really don't want to die and fall behind (in farming and levels). To stay alive you want to minimize the number of times you are hit (in general). In order to avoid being hit just constantly give your hero "move" orders. By constantly moving, you will not only make thier creeps focus on your creeps and not you, but you will also have a higher chance of making someone miss (I belive).

Items to buy as you progress:

If randomed rush your Flyng Courier if you picked then rush Magic Stick (courier after the magic stick since Magic Stick can be bought in side shop). Once you got either one of those items just farm for your Magic Wand Then go for Arcane Ring. If you get many kills, you shold be able move on to Empty bottle and Boots of Speed. Since you have courier make sure to exploit it well. Use it to bring you salves, clarities and tangoes when you're in need and just participate in your farming as much as you can. Try not to miss any of the action (stay in battle) and mazimize your farming.

Early Game:

GAME START:

First start off by buying the basic items you'll need in the early game.

buy boots of speed and Tango of essification i advise you to buy 2 pairs.

Or start buy buying null talisman and sobi mask or if able make it into ring of basillius for added armor and mana regen. you'll need the mana to bully your enemies. you dont have to worry about being stunned at early game because you have kraken shell to start of with (it removes negative buffs occasionally remember?) but dont get careless or you'll end up being dead too bit early.

LANE SCENARIO:

Start leveling in the left lane. Because creeps respawn faster there. Practice denying your creeps. dont worry too much about killing creeps because you'll have more experience than you're enemy hero if you deny your own creeps well. tidehunter's attack has a 1 second delay so time your attack well in denying.

once you reach level 3 you wont have a problem.

KILLING STRATEGY:

If your enemy gets too close gush him. and move in and attack him twice if you can then quickly move out. That'll give your enemy the impression not to underestimate you PLUS it'll hurt in the early game because your enemy's armor isnt that high and tidehunter's str is high to start with.

when you reach at least level 6-8 buy perseverance and claymore IF ABLE because i managed to buy it this early by also farming NPCs (the monsters around the map) imediately it'll help you in the later part of the game. if able buy Energy Booster to increase your mana. if you're able to buy the arcane ring recipe do so. (i know you're worrying about the ring of protection , What i advise you to do is disassemble it in your Circle of power. (its in the center of the four taverns where you are for example you are in at the sentinel side , your circle of protection is located in the center of the four taverns, south of your fountain. you'll know its yours if you click the circle and no name is displayed eg. Player 1, Player 2 put your ring of basilius in the circle by dragging it and placing it there and click disassemble icon. it looks like this ) i also advise you to buy a animal courier . it'll help you to access shops without worrying about your leveling up. this is your priority. Use tango of essification when your HP reaches 400.

ADDITIONAL TIPS:

Dont spam your gush skill for starters its because you only have little mana to start. You can only use about 2-3 gush spells at the early game. Concentrate on denying your creep first. Dont go for the kill yet till you reach the level of 5-6. By this time you'll have the ravage skill at your disposal to finish off your enemy. And if you still have sufficient mana left and you can't get too close to your enemy use gush. Always conserve your mana for the last hit. And if that doesnt work you'll still have enough time to get close to your enemy and hit him a couple of times.
