Kongor Level 1

[Geomancer]

What is the best hero combination to kill Kongor at level 1? I know you have to use bear and plague to tank, but what others heroes do you use?

[Santoriin]

i always saw it done with bear, war beast for wolves, tempest to elemental one of the wolves, and often slither to ward, 5th hero being whatever

[elevator13]

Wildsoul - Bear tanks
Tempest - Meteor
War Beast - wolves for additional tanking
Nymph for heals/damage?

[Geomancer]

Does meteor actually work on kongor?

[Need]

Meteor doesn't work on Kongor (or he just regens too fast to notice it).

[noodle0117]

demented shaman works well too.
heal + healnuke= pwnage

[Kwaurtz]

Well, now that we have the proper hero's for it.

Wildsoul
Plagued Rider
Demented Shaman
Slither
Glacius(Mana support)

Wildsouls bear tanks with plague shield, demented shaman heals, slither wards.

[booner]

torturer can take impalement and do a good amount of damage to him at level 1. wildsoul+plague rider for bear tank demented shaman+nypmh for heals/mana?

[Ezrealites]

What's the point of killing kongor at level one besides the initial +200g each? It seems like it would make the team pretty vulnerable to being ganked afterward.

[RogerDodger]

What's the point of killing kongor at level one besides the initial +200g each? It seems like it would make the team pretty vulnerable to being ganked afterward.

If everyone except the fifth person (A good agil carry) leaves then that fifth person is lv5 with <50 exp til lv6.

[crayze]

Shaman/Plague/Wildsoul/Warbeast/Nymph might be the best makeup for this.. but then again none of those heroes really needs the +5 levels that badly. Perhaps swap Nymph for a different fifth, one that benefits greatly from levels.

[Trazgo]

If you can get away with a ganker as your fifth it works well in pub games, and is very fun. In dota my friends and I would do it, I would take Pebbles (Tiny) and soak up to level 5 to begin the game with guaranteed First Blood combo.

Then I'd buy boots/bottle and gank constantly since I was level 5 and they were level 1.

If everyone except the fifth person (A good agil carry) leaves then that fifth person is lv5 with <50 exp til lv6.

What kind of experience boost will occur if everyone shares the XP? Do people make level 2?

[Verix]

Way to necro...

[Dukamok]

I believe (from a long time ago in DotA) if all five stay all five get level 3.

That seems like a huge advantage. How long does the fight take? Does Krongor spawn at 0:30 with the rest of the creeps?

[Well_Shebber]

torturer can take impalement and do a good amount of damage to him at level 1. wildsoul+plague rider for bear tank demented shaman+nypmh for heals/mana?

This would make Kongor easy meat, but then you're left with...

Wildsoul
Plague Rider
Dem Shaman
Nymph
Torturer

...as your team. GG 4 intel.

[ToxicHobo]

1. Wild soul summons el bear
2. Plague shields el bear (also plague has that part of astrolobe that has a healing aura)
3. Warbeast summons el wolves
4. Plague shields el wolves
5. Temp summons elementals from almost dead wolves
6. Plague shields wolves
7. Shaman heals (also he has ring of teacher)
8. Slither wards everywhere (make sure to ward on top of the cliff to your left and right for sight)

[Shadowcamsy]

Kongor spawns right at the start of the game, so you buy your items and run out straight away, you need a good 50 seconds to kill him. Best team for the job imo is Wildsoul for bear, Androm for -armor, Slither for wards, Plague Rider for armor and Warbeast for wolves.

You get about 3/4 of the way through level 2 iirc, also you get a free token of life and gold for your team.

[Harkon]

Best team would be with duplicate heroes and everyone of wildsoul. The best match I ever had.

[rayanman]

Saw a team with wild soul and Andromeda using the armor thing do it once.

[kamonsimon]

In face, if I saw anyone pick a team include following heroes:
1.Wildsoul + Demend Shaman/Lich/Other Healer

I will have 100% order my team to check kongor at once. It is too obvious that know you guys what to do man.

Therefore, I will use currently bug to solo Kongor only.
There is a hero can solo at lv1, from take too long time, normally I will find 1 more range hero join me, Take about 4-5mins kill it, both level up to 4.

However, rest of 3 teammates are soloing in their own lane, so that we have level advanatage in ganking then

Or I will solo kongor in lv7, and up to lv9 after it, and start my crazy gank

[Bobdoyle]

Best team would be with duplicate heroes and everyone of wildsoul. The best match I ever had.

o god i just pictured all the bears *fetal position*

[Jrix]

I've been in a few games where a level 1 tempest will solo Kongor within the first few minutes. I don't know how he does it though, always been on the opposing team.

[Extreme_Cake]

Elementals.

[Liights]

Shaman/Plague/Wildsoul/Warbeast/Nymph might be the best makeup for this.. but then again none of those heroes really needs the +5 levels that badly. Perhaps swap Nymph for a different fifth, one that benefits greatly from levels.

Level 6 nighthound in pubs would be amazing..

[pungkow]

My ideal team would be warbeast (for wolves that tempest sacs for elementals)
Tempest (for elementals)
Moon queen, andromeda, or Arachna (for increased damage aura, which works on elementals too)
Plague rider for armor
and either slither for wards, or shaman for heals.

I read once that Slither could solo him at level 1. I assumed the trick was to spam Toxin Wards in locations Kronger couldn't path to, and I was adequately successful at doing this when I tried it (in the rocks directly above him, slightly to the east). But his regen almost completely shrugged off the 8x 10-ish hp the wards were doing. I don't know if there is some anti-exploit code that gives him turbo-regen when he can't path to something, but I wasn't even close to successful. I'm having trouble envisioning how Tempest would be able to do any better, with Elementals dying in 35 seconds.

[Emppu]

Yepp I'm agree with him, better get ur xp and push :D

[CHR0N0S]

PLague Rider MUST be in the team, for slow armor absolutely cripples Kongor.

[Moltreker]

How many people have seen a team take down kongor at level 1?

[Leijona]

I have. What is your point? In a video I saw it done with at least wild soul, slither and plague. Don't remember what the other heroes where.

[DImported]

I think Moltreker's point is that it is unlikely to occur in a game where people are aware that this can happen when you see Wildsoul, Plague Rider and any of the other aforementioned heroes. You may have seen a video, but it is so easy to be found out by rune camping/warding.

[Blitzl0l]

This is actually much easier than most people think.

The team needs to only consist of wildsoul/plague rider and 3 other heroes. If done right, the bear tanks the majority, then sits back with a healing potion on while your team shares a bit of dmg. Then bear finished up and you're done.

[J0k3]

If everyone stays you get lvl 2 and get back to the lane at the same time as the second creepwave.

Probably faster if you pick your heroes who are only good for killing him asap, but thats stupid.

I've done it many times, usually with DS & PR in the team


edit: kongor is veeery easy in the start of the game if the other team doesnt interfere

[Eviction]

We killed kongar at level one with
Plague Rider
Warbeast
Tempest
Wildsoul
Soulstealer - was our solo mid and main carry

What we did was lowered him right down and then left soulstealer with bear and wolves to get last hit

[ArnoldRimmer]

Question.

What is the range people have to be away before they aren't eligible for the XP?

[dilatedmind]

It might be a good idea to get arachna in there too, her webbed shot slows down kongor's attacks. Accursed's passive will give a slight 10% buff to attack speed.

edit:

just tried arachna, slither, plague rider, wildsoul, and accursed in practice mode.


This team has no stuns, but it does have 3 slows, and a root.

[Arnald1]

Best team would be with duplicate heroes and everyone of wildsoul. The best match I ever had.

Lol!

[GoldenF2P]

When I do it, I just have my team wait outside of rune sight, then rune checkers/ people in the know give up after the creep wave comes out. Then you go at rosh. Even though you took the extra 40 seconds or so to start, it still goes really fast and you end up at level 2.7+ while everyone else is level one. The gold and aegis is nice too.

[Thotor]

wildbear/nymph/plague are the 3 required heroes. You only need dps after. Done it with blacksmith and maliken as last heroes without problem.

Note that if you pause the game , you can buy your items straight away and not waste any second to rush roshan.

while advantage is good, if you are legion, you run the risk of being spotted. And as Hellbourne, you can't use an early gank (bot lane heroes will be under their tower and too far to loose time).
On top of that, you are forced to take a specific set of heroes which can be huge disadvantage.


Still it is funny to kill kongor at level 1 and have the other team wondered what happened

[Typhy]

I did it with Wildsoul, Nymphora, Jereziah, War Beast, and Demented Shaman, Just get heals/summons.

[noodle0117]

wildsoul
warbeast
andromeda (aura)
demented?
plague?
slither?

[CoS2]

When I play with my friends on pubs and we want a safe and fun win, we do kongor lvl 1 with the setup:

Accursed (Specc shield)
Andromeda ( Specc aura)
Slither ( Speccs toxic Wards)
Plague Rider ( Specc the shield)
Wildsoul ( Specc the bear)

Buy the shield for booboo and you can kill kongor and return to your lanes almost b4 the creeps even have gotten there.=)

[ruLezmaker2]

Did it just today:

Accursed (Shield of course!)
Wildsoul (Bear of course!)
Nymph or Jereziah (Heal!)
Plague Rider (Shield of course!)

Pretty easy. But don't do it if they have got an Scout who's warding at the Beginning :'(

[J0k3]

Think its possible in a 3v3 with 1k startgold? Without taking stupid picks that is

[Boblah]

which hero would you suggest stay behind, are we talkn andromeda chucks her stun and every1 b's? cept carry?

[Damage]

Wildsoul - Summon BooBoo
War Beast - Wolves
Tempest - Elementals (use on one of the wolves)
Nymph - Heals
Slither - Wards

[R0X0R]

Wildsoul - Summon BooBoo
War Beast - Wolves
Tempest - Elementals (use on one of the wolves)
Nymph - Heals
Slither - Wards

Thats bad. You dont need that many heroes. Think you will do it close. Plagues shield is just imba @ BooBoo while making Roshan (:

[Madlobster]

If you rush it as fast as possible with the basic hero lineup. at what time do you realy get the kill?

As far as i understand the best heros would be
Wildsoul with bear.
Plague with the armor
Beast at tempest for the summons
and Nymph for the heals.

Doing that lineup, and running as fast as you can from HB base, at what minute mark does Kongor fall?

[iDoPenguins]

You can look it up on Youtube.com lol.... =) I think they use, Accusered, wildsoul, Slither Nymph and Plague.... not to sure on it BUT it is on youtube...

[dilatedmind]

I don't know why you would get shield on accursed... this is a pretty small damage reduction/nuke compared to his passive, which will increase the attack speed of all heroes attacking kongor by 10%.

[Burgwald]

I used to do this a lot. It is 4 months ago though, so i'm not quite sure how good it works. Then it wasn't essential to get wildsoul, tempest, warbeast or anything like this. Wildsoul is still good, but tempest and warbeast is a no-go imo. Tempest needs warbeast in order to get his elements, and warbeast's wolves triggers the splash, and just isn't a good pick in premades imo. Heroes that is essential for killing Kongor is in my opinion one or two of the following:

- Gauntlet (Slows kongors attack speed)

- Pharao (For the mini stuns)

- Wildsoul (Tanking bear)

Imo. you need one of these, just make sure not to get 3 melee heroes since it will trigger Kongor's splash.

Other heroes that is usefull at killing kongor is imo. the following:

- Slither (For the wards, just make sure not to block your allies, eventually put them behind kongor, but still on the ground)

- Andromeda (For the -armor)

- Demented shaman (Both heal and decent dps.)

- Soulstealer (For the - armor, just keep in mind that he has bad dps)

- Torturer (Impalement damage, and a good hero later)

When you have the right setup, all you need to do is to get heroes that have good dps, get fast out of spawn, get some healing potions, 2 melee heroes to spread out the damage (use healing potions - dont get 1 or 3 melee heroes.), and buy stat items (Minor totems, mark of the novice, crushing claw etc.)

Idea for a level 1 kongor kill:

Pharao (solo bot, eventually against their tri lane.)
Gauntlet (Mid)
Silhuette (Good dps, late game, on tri lane)
Demented shaman (Decent dps, heal, tri lane support)
Andromeda (-armor, tri lane support)

[RykonX]

I can't believe you left out Gauntlet for so long. I mean, Wild Soul and Gauntlet can basically take Kongor by themselves, their only problem is damage which ANY teammates can provide.

Just did a practice mode game sending ws and gauntlet to kong, bringing him to 10% before the second bear died ( yes it took a while). just 1 more hero was needed to take out kongor, even so at a much faster rate.

[new_slang`]

Gauntlet slows him alot iirc?

[Bad0men]

-armour no longer works on kongor iirc

[Nieve]

Wildsoul (Bear) + Gauntlet (Slow)

With any combination of these.
Plague Rider (Shield)
Slither (Wards)
Andromeda (Aura)
Pharao (Mini stuns)
Lord Salforis? (His True Damage aura might be a kinda nice extra, dunno.)
Any hero with a nice level 1 heal.
Any generic ranged hero.

Doesn't work since the nerf to Slithers wards. I remember watching it a month ago or so and I'm not gonna watch it again, but incase they used any -armor, it doesn't effect Kongor anymore.

:wild: + :gaun: killing Kongor at lvl 1 before reaching 2 min mark

[Hakomis]

I've done it with friends quite a lot, usually go for a push team and go straight mid after kong with 5 people lvl 3.

Usual team:
:wild::deme::keep::rhap: :slit:/:tund:/:gaun:/aoe stun

Remember -armour no longer works on kong.

If you are aiming to immediately push then an aoe healer is almost mandatory.

Edit: If you get your items quickly and run straight to kong then you should be able to kill him before the 30sec mark. Also token usually given to keeper because he generally hits 6 before dying so he can come back and ult immediately.

[HellDive]

Uh most of the suggestions above are doing it wrong i.m.o.

Unless it got patched recently you can take Kongor with 2 heroes. WildSoul and Gauntlet. They have to go right away and will still be killing him beyond when the creeps spawn, but when they get done they are both one creep death away from level 4.

With 3 solo laners up until that point that is way better xp overall then sending the entire team.

Yes it can be done with just those two heroes, the problem is that it gives the other team more time to respond. If you can take out Kongor around the same time that creeps reach the middle then the other team will only have seconds to notice no-one is mid let alone do something about it.

:gaun: with :GlovesOfTheSwift::MinorTotem: (Enfeeble)
:wild: with :IronBuckler::IronBuckler::MinorTotem: (Bear)
:mart: with :RingOfTheTeacher::WardOfSight: (Guardian Angel)

Two lanes still get experience. You can kill him before the second creep wave, normally before enemy has time to react.

Cast Guardian Angel on :wild: and intentionally die with :mart: just before Kongor dies. Have :wild: leave Kongor pit before killing blow on Kongor. This way both :gaun: and :mart: get full experience for the kill, both being level 5 before the 2 minute mark.

Now send :gaun: and :mart: to the empty lane. If you don't win your lane with two level 5 heroes against two level 2 heroes I feel bad for you.

[dchoi]

Engi is always a good support for level 1 Kongor teams that can kill it with 4 people or less.

If he starts planting mines to the choke leading to kongor, he can often get firstblood and delay the opponents from actually being able to take action against it.

[Burgwald]

2 of the following heroes: Pharao, Gauntlet and Wildsoul is imo. essential in order to kill Kongor level 1. Also, i dont see why you would go kongor and kill him 2 man, when you can (if done the right way) kill him with 5 man, get level 2 (almost 3) and a bonus in gold before the creeps even hits their lane. This is way more safe, since the 2-man Kongor is so obvious.

[Ookpik]

The point of Martyr is to get a second level 5 hero. You basically get double the team experience for Kongor with Guardian Angel.

MacroHard you can definitely not do this with Martyr, trust me, when Martyr came out i tried this for hours in practice mode and could never get it working. Even summited it as a bug to Elementuser. (can't remember what he said but he agreed that it coudn't be done)
Great idea, but for one reason or another it doesn't work.

Pharaoh - Hellfire interupts kongor attacks
Gauntlet - Decreases attack speed with his skill
Rhapsody - Extra healing capabilities for the whole team
Plague rider - Extra defence.
Chronos - to finish of the lineup and add some carrydps.

Pharaoh mid.
Chronos, Plague bot.
Gauntlet, rhapsody top.

This line-up would have to dominate early to mid while Chronos should be able to carry late.
Good combination of skills too when communicated nicely.

It works. It took me a couple tries, but it worked. Martyr has to die while Guardian Angel is on, and Kongor has to die within 30 seconds. If Wildsoul gets out of exp range, you now have two Lv5's around the 2:00 mark. If Wildsoul stays in exp range, you have three Lv3's.

[Meworra]

Considering that Pyro can make great use of the quick levels, I'd put him in an early kongor team. Fervor as first skill, of course, for the stackable damage.

[Mankrik]

I feel like rhap/pharaoh top and gauntlet mid would be better. Staccato to get pharaoh on them, then mummies to keep them in hellfire/dancefloor. Plus gauntlet in sidelanes needs to absolutely stomp in order to remain competitive, and there's nothing about rhapsody that makes her a particularly good partner to him.

[Matsuchi]

Valks 5 seconds stun is pretty nice.

[terrorclown]

:lord: and :damp: might also be useful, if you've got someone else running most of the tank. I hardly think I need to explain why.

Anyone with a stun that Kong can't "ignore" is damn useful too. :dead: also has a pretty cool snare too, since it reduces armor as well. And lastly, let's not forget :mida: who can simultaneously heal the team and boost his AoE damage on the target while everyone's pounding the monkey.

[Nobreakz]

Wildsoul is half of the strat. Ive seen this done multiple times, you just get wildsoul and gauntlet, level booboo and gauntlets 3rd skill, so he steals kongors damage. Its very possible to do with only theese two heroes alone, and its quite easy aswell. Just make sure you spawn booboo as soon as possible, then get a iron buckler at him. Gauntlet shouldnt tank much so get the regular items of choise. If gauntlet gets ring of the teacher it gets even easyer. But i would recomend you to get homecoming stones just in case. I think you can finish kongor by the time the 2nd or 3rd wave of creeps at mid arrives. They will except wildsoul to jungle, so tell them gaunt is afk.

After this you can get heroes who have buffs, like arachna or mq (ranged hero base dmg +)(who can mid.) pharao (who also can mid.) with hellfire works great. Leave two heroes to take xp, which makes it good. Leave bobo there to tank. Slither with ring of the teacher is probably one of the best:p

I've done Kongor Level 1 just as two people: Wildsoul with bear (he got iron shield) plus Gauntlet (he took enfeeble). Kongor could barely get a hit in, and by the time the bear was dead Wildsoul could just summon another one.

Fevor gives 1damage/sec. He got 20hp/sec so 20 hits and hes regen is gone, besides, you can leave pyro as the last guy to kill him since he actually can't fail it because kong wont regen. also with a pyro level 5, and 50xp from 6 I wouldn't be glad to be the midhero against that.

Then you pick heroes who synergise the greatest in each lane and fake a remake and say gaunt afk. or something... you know..

Tort for mid maybe? most hereos should get aoe damage, and gauntlet should get with a ganker in his bot lane. Solo top: bubbles maybe?

Pretty much it, gaunt must rember to rape and build tanky!

U guys forgot about best hero to kongor at lvl1 - :phar: - choose hellfire and Pharaoh can easily tank. :)

So, best lineup:

Wildsoul, PR, Pharaoh, Slither and last can be basically anything.
Also then you have lanes put easily: pharaoh takes Token, goes solo suicide lane, wildsoul goes enemy's woods, Slither solo mid and PR + anyone left goes last lane.

Easy.

I gotta say i'm surprised none mentioned :gaun: . His passive ROcks to beat kong (- %atk spd and -%atk dmg). The ape will hit softer and slower and gaunt will hit a tad harder too.

If i recall well, I read a thread talking about kong lvl 1 with just gaunt and ws, wich wouldn't leave the other lanes empty, and would permit the other heroes to get some lvl advantage.

:warb::keep::temp::wild::deme:

1. Pick these last second in AP and fake rage at each other.
2. Kill Kongor before creeps spawn
3. Also get mid tower

4. Keeper forest, Tempest mid, solo lane Wildsoul, Warbeast/demented.
5. Start pushing together really fast
6. Farm many, many puzzleboxes and whispering helms

7. ATTACK THE ENEMY WITH A WHOLE F&¤@%G ZOO. ALSO WAR CRY WORKS ON EVERY CREEP ON YOUR TEAM GG.

You would have to sacrifice Kotf creep for Tempest + puzzlebox has cd so it's quite hard to stack 'em

Well, first of all you need to make/go to All Pick game. Picks will be Wild Soul, Plague Rider, Slither, Demented Shaman and Arachna/Accursed (I would use Arachna as 5th hero).

***Heroes/Items***

1st. Wild Soul

- Use your skillpoint to "Summon BooBoo" and use him as a tank

- Buy two Iron Bucklers and one Health Potion

- Give items to BooBoo and head out to Kongor

- Use Heath Potion if it is needed and when he(BooBoo) regenarates you will be temporary tank and get BooBoo back after regenaration (if needed anymore)


2nd. Plague Rider

- Use your skill point to " Cursed Shield"

- Buy three Mark of the Novice's, one Minor Totem and two Mana Potion

- Give one Mana Potion to Demented Shaman and one to Slither (or to who needs it most)

- Head out to Kongor and when you start fighting make sure you keep that Cursed Shield on BooBoo ALL THE TIME and on Wild Soul when/if BooBoo regenarates hitpoints


3rd. Slither

- Use your skill point to "Toxin Ward"

- Buy Ring of the Teacher, one Minor Totem and one Mana Potion (share you Mana Potions with Demented Shaman)

- Head out to Kongor and make sure you use your wards everytime cooldown is off for bonus dps(damage per second)


4th. Demented Shaman

- Use your skill point to "Healing Wave"

- Buy Refressing Ornament

- Head out to Kongor and heal tank(s) everytime when needed


5(.1)th. Aracha

- Use your skill point to " Web Shot"

- Purchase three Duck Boots one Minor Totem and two Mana Potions

- Head out to Kongor and try to use your Web Shot as much as possible, watch out your mana for running out. Use Mana Potion(s) to regenarate mana and share rest Mana Potions with your team.


5(.2)th Accurced

- Use your skill point to "Fire Shield"

- Buy four Crushing Claws

- Head out to Kongor and use your Fire Shield evertime to BooBoo when its not on cooldown


***Finishing***

- When Kongor has about 50-100 hitpoints you all get out (BooBoo can stay there for tank but make sure you press hold(H) so he won't blink away when he tries to attack) expect Arachna(/Slither but Arachna's ulti is so op against 1 levels :D). Get out of the exp gain area and let arachna get her 5-6 level from the killing blow.

- After that you all go to midle and take one or two towers. After that game continues normaly except Arachna is 6-8 level and kills all ;D OR you all go to up/down lane and get next two towers, and after that down/up -> same thing.

-After that you all should have something about 1500-2000 money+money from kills

- So, if you wanna finnish fast or PSR fast run i recommend this tactic to all who wanna have fun ;]


HAVE FUN AND PLAY WELL!

Found this guide ages ago- surely still works as well, though I haven't tested in several months.
