Nice! How did you survive the first few waves though?

Here is how I did it. Only put points into w>e>stats.

Wave 2: Start with red heart + dark blue orb + tranquil boots. Put 2 points on w, 1 point on e (get the 2nd point later) and rest on stats. Kill one by attacking it then get full hp by running away then attack it again. Get blue heart after getting gold from first kill and hand of midas.

Wave 3: Focus kobold first. You can orb walk backward to minimize damage. Before killing last zombie get midas hammer.

Wave 4: Focus kobold first. Orb walk backward. Before killing last grave king get shoemoney's hammer.

Wave 5: Get Moonshard at start of level. Orb walk backward focusing grave king first.

Wave 6: Get hyperstone and dark blue orb at start of level. Orb walk backward focusing closest target. You can get 2-3 autos before the zombies reach you.

Wave 7: Buy protective boots. Focus red slark then blue slark.

Wave 8: Buy linken sphere. Optionally buy shiva. Just auto lifestealer to death. He will die before the next spawn reaches you.

Wave 9: Upgrade shiva to pixel guard. Put pixel guard on courier (you can buy new courier to follow you). Try dodging stun. If you are going to get hit or already hit, use pixel guard from courier to make you magic immune.

Wave 10: Use the pixel guard from the courier to block slardar's stun. Also pixel guard helps in slowing the enemy's attackspeed if you get overwhelmed.

Wave 11-Trees Waves: You need these things. Get components of divine armor (light blue orb+divine armor recipe+bkb+assault+recipe titan cuirass) then disassemble protective boots and combine the remaining components. Sell the other parts and get blink boots. Get war fury to help you splash damage to weak enemy and instakill them. Get dark soul and Spiritual core. Order is flexible.

Axe Wave: Kill small axes first. You can tank one axe hit with linken sphere. Use courier to slow down enemy with pixel guard. Blink between high and low ground to kill the big axes.

Next couple of waves are easy.

Wraith king wave: Focus wraith king. Switch to clinkz when they are magic immune. Don't let a lot of clinkz alive or they will kill you.

You can sell linken sphere as it becomes useless. Get Beastitachi's wood starting with the blood edge. The passive is useless on him. But the item is useful as it gives minibash, true strike (helps when you are low ground + ursa round 2), and evasion. Get midas fury for the BAT. Get divine core for more lifesteal, shorter blink cd, and active for divine armor.

Ursa round 1 and 2: Blink around killing them. Use pixel guard in courier to slow them down.

Nyx wave: Makes sure to only attack them while magic immune as their Spiked Carapace will 1 shot you.

At some point here you should buy 2nd courier with pixel guard for permanent magic immunity. Farm for wicked fury. Get excalibur (no need to upgrade early) or resurrection stones for the last slot. Get optionally divine soul (doesn't help you in tanking) or bahamut chest.

Next 3 waves should be easy.

Vampire wave: Blink behind him when he first jumps on you or you will get 1 shot. Stay magic immune to avoid being marked when he turns area black. Otherwise, you will have to blink away.

Doom wave: Stay in water. Stay permanent magic immune with divine armor + 2 pixel guards (get 3rd if you are bad at timing).

Asura wave: If you get unlucky with the spawns, you might die once or twice. Hopefully not. Asura is easy. He follows a specific pattern.

Spider wave: Easy just don't tank in web.

Final boss: Stay perma magic immune to prevent boss from casting spells on you. If it clones you, focus the clone. You can outrange the enemy. Once you get 10 stacks, run away till they drop.

NG+: Easy mode.

gj man. Beastitachi instead of divine crossbow, now i now what i was doing wrong. Spiritual core was also brilliant idea ;)

It might sound that Beastitachi is stupid on ranged. But huskar doesn't have an attack damage steroid for divine crossbow's pure damage. Most of his damage comes from his e. So the extra evasion and minibash will help more. The only way to get tankier is to get blood cursed sword which will delay your wicked fury. Make sure to drop Beastitachi on floor and repick it once you have midas fury or you won't get the lower BAT from midas fury (bug).

I managed to get to wave 29 same build with tiny. I could have beaten it if i didn't mess up my magic immunity (should have bought 3 pixel guard). I also managed to get to wave 28 with centaur with slight difference which I regretted later. I went bahamut heart instead of dark soul and wicked fury (stayed on Beastitachi) and blood booster instead of spiritual core. On wave 28, I could not see vampire's spell because no range increase which made him 1 shot me.

lifestealer is good too :D

am i not wrong not to see no lifesteal item or did you forget to mention it? correct me if i'm wrong. so your final build before NG+ is.
D.armor, Wicked fury. Blink boots.Divine Soul.Divine Core.and Ress stone. +2 pixels on courrier. and not using desolator/that -150 magic that look like reaper thing.
and on NG+ im assumed Asura Chest.Soul.Asura Core. not using Rapier?
well good job if i must said. well if its work,its work.
its take some time to juked around alot....

lifestealer doesn't deal magic damage. You will have to invest into mystical dagon. I might try him out.

The core path (divine core) is a lifesteal + spell lifesteal item. Only octarine core doesn't give lifesteal but all its upgrades do. The item gives more constant lifesteal than bloodbooster and void mask while being cheaper. Also huskar benefits from spell lifesteal and cd reduction (less e cd).

My final build was like you said but bahamut chest instead of divine armor. I am not sure I had divine soul by final wave. Also I used excalibur (synergies well with wicked fury) instead of ress stone in some waves I am confident I can beat without dying.

Desolator sucks if you can't make the enemy have close to 0 or negative armor. On wave 25 and 26 they have like 6000 and 4000 armor. Asura has like 4500 armor. Final wave has a lot of armor. Also the item will replace wicked fury. So you will lack evasion. Scythe of decay (-150 magic) lacks BAT and evasion. You will have less stacks and less damage from Huskar's e which is most of his damage. The item sucks until it is fully completed. Both items will delay your wicked fury which is the most important item in final waves and on NG+.

NG+ is very easy. You can build whatever as long as you have asura plate (chest upgrade) and wicked fury. My final build was asura plate, wicked fury, abyssal soul, bahamut claw, asura core, asura rapier (i got this before asura core). I just stood in the center and 1 shot everyone.

Just wanted to add how armor reduction from desolator works.

If you have 1000 armor, you have ~98% damage reduction. If you have 2000 armor, you have ~99% damage reduction. Let us say you have -1000 armor from divine desolator.

2000->1000 armor: damage increase by 2x. If you used to take 1000 sec (16min 40 sec) to kill enemy, now it will take 500 sec (8min 20sec).

1000->0 armor: damage increase by 50x. If you used to take 1000 sec (16min 40 sec) to kill enemy, now it will take 20 sec.

These numbers are approximations (displayed when you hover over armor). Game engine takes decimal into account. 1000 armor is actually 98.4% and 2000 armor is actually 99.2%. 2000->1000 armor would increase damage by 2x. 1000->0 armor would increase damage by 60x.

I just beat it with lifestealer[imgur.com] too. I have to say lifestealer is actually easier than huskar. Slight variation to build. Don't put points into e until later.

Don't buy octarina core early as you don't need lifesteal. Get melee fury after getting divine armor for the cleave. Get yellow heart before axe wave. You can tank 2 big axe hits this way. You will upgrade it to divine soul after that as you need extra range to outrange enemy. Start farming for mystical dagon. I went for bahamut chest instead of wicked fury as you don't need the extra damage until ng+ and I wasn't sure I could get it early because of mystical dagon. I would say bahamut chest is way better as it allows you to tank anyone.

Lifestealer can tank both spiders in web at the same time with bahamut chest. He can dispel the meteor in wave 26 and can remove the stacks from last boss. He can also perma magic immune with spiritual core. Still build divine core as it gives more lifesteal and more cdr for blink boots and mystical dagon.

I could have done it with 0 deaths. My deaths were just stupid mistakes. I wanted to try and tank wave 26 (the 2 that throw meteor from sky) with divine armor only. Impossible they kill you with 4 auto. I had to buyback and just attack them with extra distance from divine soul. 2nd death was swapping items and forgot that the round began. 3rd death was attacking nyx without magic immune (got 1shot). 4th death was getting hit by shadow demon's shadow poison without magic immune (got 1 shot).

solo heros-> tiny pa wk brew morphling lc. sven
YOu will only find a problem in the lifesteal round because you can't deal more damage than they lifesteal. abbadon is also good with his q to start

By lifesteal, I assume you mean the vampires from round 27. You can definitely out damage lifestealer round from round 8 with way more than that list.

You can actually kill the vampires with bahamut claw but then you will have issues on wave 24, 25, 29, and final round because they have way more than 3000 armor. You could try going bahamut claw with crossbow but it is going to take way longer on these rounds.

By the way, you don't actually need mystical dagon for shadow demon with heroes who don't have magic damage, you can alternatively get scythe of decay by then, which drops him quite fast.
It's more expensive than dagon, but the items it builds from are more useful.

talking about round 8

You should definitely not build scythe of decay. The difference is around 60k gold which will delay your bahamut chest or wicked fury by a lot. The items it builds from are definitely useless and cost slightly less than mystical dagon.

I am not sure if you realize but the infused mjollnir does almost 0 damage to the big bosses. Attack speed pretty useless as you will get maxed from divine armor. Attack damage and crit useless because no -armor or pure damage. Magic damage useless no veil until later on. The veil is also useless if you dont have magic damage spells. Even when you complete it, the item does little damage to anyone not shadow demon later on. Mystical dagon is the goto item vs shadow demon if you lack magic damage spells.

You can kill them with way more than that list. Alchemist can kill them from range. I already beat challenger with alchemist solo. Sf destroys them. Centaur outdamages them with damage return. Pudge can kill them. Most of the heroes with ranged spells can kill them.

did you do it with np post or prenerf
