Dota Hero Harbinger The Obsidian Destroyer Map

Dota Hero Harbinger - The Obsidian Destroyer Item Buid, Guide and Strategy. Among the small number of intelligence heroes who focus on getting a lot of powerful items late in the game, the Obsidian Destroyer relies on building up as much intelligence and mana as he possibly can. Astral Prison is a useful ability, which can put a powerful enemy hero out of the fight or save an ally from death. In addition, it drains intelligence when cast on an enemy hero, and by repeatedly using this ability the Obsidian Destroyer can quickly reduce the enemies’ mana pool, making it difficult for them to cast many spells. To know more about his character, see the post below. 

 Harbinger The Obsidian Destroyer background story. An obsidian construct brought to life through the ill conceived necromancy of the Lich King, Harbinger craves magic to make up for the emptiness brought on by the incomplete nature of its summoning. Ironically however, to devour the magic that it so desires, Harbinger must tap into his own pool of mana time and time again, expending to the point where it ends up with even less than it began with. Yet despite this, the Obsidian Destroyer is a proud servant of the Undead Scourge, and takes great pleasure in annihilating the foolish Sentinels it encounters through psionic exploitation.

4. Sanity’s Eclipse (Hotkey: C)

The Obsidian Destroyer unleashes his full potential; his mind unleashes a psionic storm able to penetrate lesser minds with terminal force, dealing massive damage to them. More crafty minds are able to resist most of the damage, but they expend most of their energies to do so, losing a lot of their mana.

Level 2 – Deals damage equal to 9x (10x*) the difference between the heroes intelligence and Destroyer’s intelligence.

- Area of Effect: 400/500/600 (700/750/800*)

This skill build allows you to accrue a massive amount of intelligence thanks to Astral Imprisonment (moreso than even Pugna if cast often enough), which in turn makes your ultimate an OMGWTFIMBABBQ AoE buttrape in team fights. The more intelligence you have, the greater the difference between your intelligence and that of your enemies, hence this skill build.

Harbinger The Obsidian Destroyer Strategy

Level 1 – 8
In the early game, it’s important you get a good start. Grab as many last hit as you can and harass with Astral Imprisonment, which will boost your base damage. If you’re levelling Arcane Orb, make sure you don’t waste it because 100 mana for a missed last hit is a BIG waste. By the time you hit level 8, if you’re going for an Orchid, you should at least have finished an Oblivion Staff and made a start on either a Force Staff or Eul’s Scepter.

Level 9 – 16
By the time you hit level 11, you would be in good shape to have finished a second Oblivion Staff. You need to farm a fair bit, so take the lane that you think you’ll be able to take. If the rest of your team take a lane, that might take the fire away from you because the other team has been forced to defend. Make sure you keep note of how many enemy heroes are defending, though, because there could be a few on their way to gank you. Once you reach level 16, you ought to be close to finishing your Orchid or have 2 of the 3 items used in Sheepstick. With spare gold you should build your Force Staff or Eul’s.

Level 17 – 25
Getting into the late game you need to finish your core items so you can take part of big team pushes and ganks, since if you have been properly farmed, you’ll be a monster with close to +200 pure damage. By this stage you should be able to leave your orb on autocast without mana worries, thanks to your items and Essence Aura. Your aura will help your allies in teamfights by providing them with a mana-replenishing edge that the other team won’t have.
