Dota Hero Lion – The Demon Witch Item Build, Guide and Strategy. The Demon Witch is a strong offensive spellcaster with excellent disabling capabilities. Finger of Death is an excellent finishing spell for injured enemies. Although Impale alone is a good disabling spell, the Demon Witch has a second strong disable: Voodoo. Voodoo can transform an enemy hero into a critter for a few seconds, allowing Lion and his allies time to finish them off. Lion’s spells all cost quite a bit of mana, but he can quickly regain it using Mana Drain. This spell is effective for draining an enemy hero’s mana while they are disabled or giving Lion a quick mana boost from an enemy Necromancer or Druid of the Talon creep. This hero is a good choice for newer players. To know more about his character.
Lion The Demon Witch background strategy. renegade wizard who delved deeper in studying demonic arts, this old aged archmagus was sentenced to damnation by the Dalaran council. As a last resort of escaping death, he performed a forbidden ritual and sold his soul to Archimonde’s bidding. Without trace of compassion and with a twisted mind, he seeks retribution to his comrades. He commands earth to stagger those who hinders his path with sharp spikes or siphons their will out. Never hesitating to transmogrify others to impunity nor doubtful of ripping his enemy inward out with his fatal touch, Lion like a predator loves doing it all over again.

Lion The Demon Witch Strategy
Choosing a Lane
Lion can hold both a solo lane and a dual lane. I will explain the criteria on which one should choose a lane.
Solo Lane
In a solo lane, Lion can dominate most of his opponents in a 1v1 battle. If he is alone against 2 enemies, it will be considerably harder but not impossible in all cases. Lion should go solo for two important reasons :
a. To deny a good farming and leveling of the opponent hero(es) he is facing by constantly harassing him(them).
b. To provide a roaming possibility earlier and thus assist his team more.
If your team has a powerful solo hero (Tinker, Mirana, Nevermore etc) you will want to give him the position, because Lion does not need the gold and experience a solo lane offers and is often better paired in a dual stun lane.
Dual Lane
A dual stun lane is what Lion should be aiming for. He can choose either to pair with an aggressive hero in lane and play offensively or to ease the early game stage for a weaker hero at that time (e.g. Leoric, Davion, Slardar etc). Choose as you find it is convenient for the rest of your team. Also try to balance the power between your lanes, so that one lane will not be formed of heroes like Rhasta/Zeus/Lina/Earthshaker and the other filled with heroes like Mortred/Leoric/Barathrum (these are mere examples).
Before going to your lane be sure to ward one of the runes, preferably the one that corresponds to the weaker lane of your team, so it will be safer from incoming attacks (Plant it with 10-5 seconds before the first wave spawns).
A little trick I like to use as to make sure the enemy does not suspect any warding action is to immediately use my courier to transport to the base the remaining observer ward, so it will not be seen in my inventory (that is, if I do not use it).
Also, I will not explain warding throughout this guide. Read here to learn the warding basics.
Early Game (Levels 1-8)
Do not use your ‘Impale’ to harass until you reach level 3; you may use it for a potential first blood or to save yourself and your ally from one. When you face mana dependent heroes harass them with your ‘Mana Drain’. If you want to regenerate mana, use ‘Mana Drain’ on the enemy ranged creep. If you have an offensive lane partner play as aggressive as you can afford, make your enemies back up in terror. If you have a weaker hero with you, play defensively and do your best to keep him alive (that means also sacrificing yourself for his sake). You should only focus on denying your creeps and let your partner last-hit for the gold, last-hit a creep only when you think it may be denied and your ally cannot reach it in time. Try, as much as possible, to let your ally get the last hit on enemy heroes as they are dying. When reaching level 6, use your ultimate to leave an enemy hero at a very small amount of hit-points so that your ally might kill him for the gold. Get your Magic Wand as fast as possible and work your way towards the core build. This pretty much sums all.
Note: If you are soloing, play aggressively. Last-hit and deny as much as you can, kill your enemy whenever the opportunity arises. You are playing solo to deny him the bonuses of a solo lane and you will be more offensive than him (in most cases) so profit. Do not die. Help your other lanes whenever the enemies’ solo-er does not pose a threat. When killing with your allies, again, do your best to let them get the last-hits on the dying heroes, for you will not need that gold.
Middle Game (Levels 9-16)
Now your role is to stay with your team and assist them in their kills. You can be the first one who initiates, since you have an AoE stun that is pretty easy to aim, but you should be careful and not go headlong into the enemy lines. Surprise the enemy. Use ‘Hex’ to disable the most damaging heroes of the enemy team (heroes like Tidehunter, Earthshaker, Enigma) and tell your team-mates to focus them. Use ‘Impale’ to stop channeling spells, since it has a slightly lower cooldown and mana cost than ‘Voodoo’ and ‘Voodoo’ has a longer disable time, and its priority is the key hero of the enemy. Use your ‘Finger’ to inflict fear into an enemy, for an enemy with yellow to red hit-points is always more reluctant to fight rather than one with green hit-points, use mind-games. Finish a hero with ‘Finger’ only if your team has no long range damaging spells and no one will be able to reach him. Never aim for a kill for yourself. Also, ward/counter-ward the map and use ‘Mana Drain’ on disabled mana dependent heroes.
Late Game (Level 16+)
Stay behind your team. Assist with your stun and disables. If there is a frail enemy that can be killed with ‘Impale’ + ‘Finger’ (e.g. Clinkz) kill him fast. Again, do not aim for other unnecessary kills. Watch out for the enemy carry! Disable him so he will have a hard time against yours.
