Slark, The Murloc NightCrawler Guide and Strategy | Dota 6.65 New Hero

Murloc Nightcrawler
In the deepest, blackest pits of the ocean a fearsome and terrifying creature lurks. Bending the shadows to his will, few have seen his true form and none have lived to speak of it. For the shadows are his sanctuary, a place of empowerment and revitalization. Bathed in this impenetrable darkness he strikes unseen, every attack making him swifter and more powerful whilst weakening his enemy. A unbreakable leash awaits all who try to escape, leaving them at mercy of this horrifying phantom. By sacrificing a fraction of his soul, his pact with darkness allows him break even the most powerful bonds and curses. With echoes of the Great War reaching every corner of the earth, this creature, known only as Slark, has emerged from the depths to search for an ancient relic...

Agility: 21 + 2.0
Strength: 21 + 1.0
Intelligence: 16 + 1.6

Dark Pact:

Essence Shift:
Passive

Reciting ancient Nightcrawler incantations, Slark enchants his blade to steal the power and courage from his enemies. Every time Slark hits an enemy hero, he steals 1 point from all attributes and 1 additional from the main attribute of that enemy hero while Slark gains 4 points of Agility.

Duration: 15/30/45/60


Shadow Dance:
Has an active and a passive portion.

Covers himself with a dark smoke, he becomes invisible and does not reveal himself while attacking or casting spells for 5.5 seconds.

Look at World Cyber Games: DoTA and you can see who are the better players. At least in Asia, I hope Philippines will come out no 1. somewhere in the future.

REST IN PEACE RACIST..

this slark guy is really really fast.

can control the whole map. With full health (and a lone non disabling hero) You just go straight to him and whack him till kingdom come. When you're done, and you will almost always survive, just run through the jungle or the river to the next lone non disabling hero. By the time you have reached there, your health is maxed.

With fury, he farms like crazy

with heart, or satanic, he's a constantly gains back to full 2k health at his peak level at every single hero battle.

seriously...quite imbalanced.

slark - the most fragile hero
Dark Pact - well, 300 dmg like any other non-ulty skill, but he takes 150 dmg as well, so not that OP
Pounce - REMAKED so yeah, he jumps, if akasha/magina - blink and that's it, you are safe.ALSO 3,5 sec with a disable/stun will do the TRICK
Essence Shift - takes 2 point of main att and 1 point of others... only vs STR heroes it does rly big dmg(considering +4 dmg/IAS and the -38 hp from str loss)making him OWN early tanks, but later, BM - ulty and gg, Roof - ULTY AND GG and so on and so on(even OVERFED pudge can kill a slark)
Ulty - GREAT! now they wont see me(happyface) WTF?! WARDS?! DUST?! GEM?! WTF SLARDAR...GONDAR OMG!
2nd situation: yaay you can't see me you can't see me...
lina uses D&T, Tiny uses V&T(on ally hero near the center of tha mist), Magnus Skewers and Waves, NA uses Impale and Crystal maiden uses nova/ulty. WTF HAX!(slark has left the game)
3rd - 4 heroes chase slark. slark ulties - YEAH GG NEWBS!!! zeus(vs slark) ulties, slark revealed for 3 sec, slark dies, WTF?! HOW?! NOOBS! HAXORS!!!(slark yet again leaves the game)
Overall - you need ITEMS OR YOU ARE GG(magnus blink, ulty, crits 3 times for 800 dmg in splash dmg with a bf AND gg for whole team) yeah

His third skill is not imba its only TEMPORARY
If maxed out it will just last for a minute
Still he has low hp which is the key
He only gains TEMPORARY agility
which has no use for HP

Use ranged type hero. It's enugh

Anonymous said...

Slark is relatively a strong hero IMO.
I was caught up by his skills the first time I went against the hero. Damn, Int or Strength doesn't go well on him. I'd probably place this hero on the A-tier to S-tier.
Slark is a great hero when there aren't much stunners around. It's beatable, and not really imbalanced as many say. It's got a low HP and low stat growth for cripes sake.If ever the hero is still imbalanced, it is understandable since the hero is just new. The next versions will probably fix the hero so no fret. Slark is a great addition to the hero roster of the game.

Lastly, I am a Filipino by blood and damn, you Filipinos talk too much crap.You make me want to forget my roots. You guys sound stupid, a bunch of idiots. Aren't you ashamed? You're tarnishing the damn nation's name. I hate to say this, but our nation has been owned man. Be humble. Most of you are good, but not really good compared to many just because most of the Filipinos play DOTA. Besides, DIDN'T ANYONE OF YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE POSTING?! ENGLISH ONLY!
Your claims to being good aren't credible if you're trash talking in another language. No offense brothers. :)

Pudge = R.I.P Slark
Of course fisherman kills fish..duh,
One bite and lvl 4 rot = Sushi Slark
but if he has a vanguard... uh oh
fishing!!!fishing!!....fishing pala ah..
Nerubian Assasin = R.I.P Slark???
I thought Frogs eats bugs not the other way around...

Best items for slark=Madness + Basher. for those who denies this try it first.


FRom: the Filipinos that do alot of Pwnage.

Anonymous said...

For those noobs that is like my classnate his ultimate is not only for retreating, use it when on a 1 on 1 losing fight it would really be a great help. Slark best counter for = Traxex and other DAmage type,Carry,Killer,Raw damage,Item dependant(eh their all the same)hero. you will lose all that. Slark has no stat and damage limit from his 3rd skill. I got 500+ base damage because of it.

Anonymous said...

For those who think ursa isimba and axe is so weak against ursa . nooob. try berserk call then blade mail zzz. urse against blade mail ursa will be so weak.i think axe is one of best counters.

murloc isn't an imba hero at all due to his low hp.. a nice gameplay could counter this hero.. learning his abilities is a great lead againts this hero..

he is not an imba hero, he is a balanced one,as you can see his hp is quite low even though he damage pretty hard you can still counter him with the use of disables and gem of true sight! (it's only my opinion)
haha..

slark is a killer, yes, but also a walking bank account..
if he pounces at you use euls scepter/ghost scepter/disable/hex/stun him (dont forget gem/dust) then nuke everything you got on this guy..
i buy BladeMail only if its lategame coz some players tend to overdamage this character(not paying attention to its HP and always go for 1on1)..
i owned slark with my alchemist..
he pounced me - etherial+charge stun+dagon+dust/gem+SS
he runs away - stun him+poison+attack
still alive? - dagger and redo actions
my items were threads(str),dagon3,mjull,etherial,gem,dagger.. i was going to change my dagger to mkb or radiance to negate slarks evasiveness.. too bad it ended so fast..

all you need is fast hands(like what we Filipinos have)
brains(rent one if you dont have,make sure it works)
confidence & strategy(oh yeah,you guys just got your strategies from Filipino,how sad T_T)

how the 3rd skill works

Anonymous said...

Almost every hero is weak against slark because of his third skill.it STEALS attribute,weakening the enemy.so nerubian assasin is just a bug when slark manages to get mask of madness.

slark is one best hero ever,

Anonymous said...

this hero is pretty well balanced...even if he is fast at regenerating...but his hp is low...
it's bit difficult to play him at the early game since he is really weak to begin with...low stat gain to say..
easily killed by full nukers

IMBA? not at all
