Dota 2 is a
multiplayer online battle arena video game that combines elements from the
genres of action and strategy. It was released in 2013 by Valve Corporation.
Dota 2 has a wide variety of heroes that you can choose from, each with their
own unique abilities and skills.
In this
article I will provide an overview of the best farming heroes in Dota 7.31,
what they should be played as and how to play them effectively.
Best Farming
Heroes in 7.31:
- Arc Warden
- Medusa
- Luna
- Meepo
Arc Warden
Introduction
At the moment the best farmer in Dota 2 with a positive winrate. Averages 662 gold and 713 experience per minute. This hero builds Hand of Midas every game and farms like crazy. After the changes in 7.31 his build received significant alterations, and now he's essentially trying to make the most of his active items. Arc Warden can be a mid-lane as well as a carry.
Item Build
The Arc Warden's Item Build consists of three basic items - Hand of Midas, Maelstrom and Boots of Travel. Without them, your ultimate won't contribute enough impact.
As I said, the first recommended item is Hand of Midas. A great start, which with Tempest Double will bring us profit. Don't forget to press Midas for maximum benefit.Maelstrom will give us damage, which will not be particularly reduced by
Tempest Double.And also don't forget your main way of transportation. You need to be active on the map and not to waste precious seconds of
Tempest Double. So
Boots of Travel is also a must have for farming. Dota is a very situational game where you can't do identical builds, so I will try to give advice only based on the best items.
Orchid Malevolence and
Bloodthorn is one of the best late items with an active ability. In the hands of Arc Warden and with -50% cooldown on items, this rose will show very large thorns.
Silver Edge is also a nice item on Arc Warden. Perfect for Escape or Ambush. Also, I'd highlight Scythe of Vyse for this item. Combined with the clone it would be over 7 seconds of disable.
Skill Build
10 level - Talent: Flux Range
15 level - Talent: Magnetic Field Attack Speed
20 level - Talent: Spark Wraith damage
25 level - Talent: Tempest
Double Cooldown Reduction
Medusa
Introduction
Medusa is a split farm queen. At the end of the game there is not much competition for her. Medusa is usually picked as carry, but sometimes can also be played as middle lane.
Item Build
Medusa has only a couple of important items that should not be replaced. Among them are both cheap farming items and late-game items.
Power Treads is the only choice for Medusa. With them you can regenerate mana and attack faster for a small price.
Manta Style speeds up our farming to new horizons. The item is not too expensive to ignore and gives a lot of stats. Medusa's illusions can splitpush and attack multiple targets simultaneously.
Do you have a problem with melee heroes? Do you want a lot of stats? Does an enemy regenerate a lot of health? Then we have a solution for you! Buy
Eye of Skadi for Medusa and start winning, son.
Skill Build
10 level - Talent: Attack Speed
15 level - Talent: Split Shot Damage Penalty
20 level - Talent: Mystic Snake Bounces
25 level - Talent: Split Shot Uses Modifiers
Luna
Introduction
Luna is one of the easiest carry in Dota 2, but at the same time you have to be good at understanding your opponent. The main mistake most Luna players make is that they farm either for too long and don't use their advantage, or attack when they are not yet ready. The sense of pace is important for all carries, but for Luna it is the most difficult part of the hero.
Item Build
Mask of Madness is the main farm item of Luna. Purchase and accelerate your farming speed by 100%.
Never hesitate to buy the
Black King Bar on Luna. It will save your life more than once. In unique cases it is more useful to buy
Linken Sphere, but it almost never happens in pubs.
Dismantling our
Mask of Madness into
Satanic.
Skill Build
15 level - Talent: Lucent Beam Cooldown
16 level - Talent: Moon Glaives Damage Reduction
20 level - Talent: Lucent Beam Damage
25 level - Talent: Lunar Blessing Damage
Meepo
Introduction
And lastly, I saved the most unique hero from the list for you. Meepo has a special place among Dota 2 farmers. He is very quick at farming both experience and money. However, his clones do not get anything other than the owner's stats. That's why Meepo has a very specific build that you don't want to break. Let's begin!
Item Build
The only correct boots for Meepo is Power Treads. Alas, by an evil stroke of fate, clones cannot activate Arcane Boots, and Phase Boots bonuses are not particularly attractive to Meepo.
What? A ranged item for Meepo? Yes, it is, and the explanation is painfully ridiculous. Our clones can't copy items other than boots, and so
Yasha is useless to us. Pro players have done the math and now buy
Dragon Lance as a source of cheap stats. In some cases it's worth taking 2 of them (I'm not kidding).
It is important to have the Blink Dagger (which only works on the main Meepo) for initiation.
Sooner or later Meepo will need Late Game items, so we collect
Eye of Skadi, another source of stats. Now the expensive one.
Meepo lacks any kind of full disable, so buying
Scythe of Vyse would make him a menace to all fragile enemies.
