Blood hunter should realy solo, then roam/gank at lvl 6+ but any slower/stunner will go good with him since he can put out quite some dmg if he buffs himself with silence.

He works fine in noob pubs/pubsstomper games but when you get abit further up he starts to suck since ppl know how to counter him.

Just make sure your opponents will run when you Hemorrhage them. Usually only happens in pubs.

I'd think the best laning partner would be a nuker who can force the enemy to either run and die to Hemorrhage or stay still and die to the nukes.

My favorite thing to do is get a magmus on my team and have him ult and then cast blood hunter's ult. That way if they stay they die or if they run they die.

If you want to do that, just have Chronos whack his ult down as soon as Magmus is done with the channel. They're stuck sitting there and taking it.

I rarely ever see a Chronos and when I do they generally aren't very good. On top of that, this is a thread about blood hunter so he's asking who goes good with them. Magmus makes people run. That's his job. "RUN AWAYYYY" :)

As bh it's nice to have a legion on your team willing to work with you too with his taunt...

It's not a huge advantage like working with magmus' ult but it can get in a lot of extra damage if legion just runs around for the time they're taunted.

I wouldn't purposely pick legion because there's a bh on my team but if it happens it's a nice little combo.

However, I've found that people still don't understand bh's ult and will continue to run around with it on them so unless you're playing in 1600+ games you probably don't even need a buddy to help get them moving.

Maliken would theoretically work well with him. Lvl 6, you ulti, he sword throws/ teleports in and ultis. The guy runs around like a chicken with his head cut off from the fear taking forced hemorrhage damage. GG

Also, much harder to do, but infinitely more entertaining: You Ulti, devourer hooks. GG

Bloodhunter is a realy good hero! Even in high ranked games! cause he have 15 an ENDLESS silence and the ability to outfarm any mid hero.
His gankingpower is epic. If you farm up your radiance fast enough the game is yours!

Andromeda

most heroes when ulted will run to relative safety and stand still

Andromeda can swap them back into danger, forcing them to run even more or stand around being beat to death.

Bloodhunter + Devourer = LOLERSKATES

Hemo, they stop (or run and die early), devourer gets an easy hook on a still target, reels them in forcing to take move damage, GG.

It's a bit overkill, but hilarious.

I'm fairly sure the hook does not cause them to take damage from Hemorrhage. Most 'forced movement/blink' effects ignore it (Kraken's Charge, etc.)

Blood Hunter is a better soloer than laner, tbh. Feast lets you lane pretty well against any other solos pretty easily, and makes it so that you really don't need someone babysitting you for you to farm well. Hatchet lets you last hit easily.

To clarify, is damage from heamorrage taken from distance moved o distance moved from point of first haemorrage.

Ie if you have haem on and they run around but only in a small area will they take little or no damage.

Or is it just the ground covered by the victim, ie would they take a lot of damage if they ran away for 4 seconds then back to the point they were originally haemed at?

Any movement at all causes harm. When you get hit with that spell you need to press H (or whatever your current bind for hold is) to stop moving and to stop taking damage. Obviously, this is situational. If it's a level 1 ult and you're a level 9 or 10 strength hero with lots of health or some regen but you're standing near a tower, get out of the tower's range first. Then hold position. Move as little as possible but as much as required to stay alive.

If you're someone weak like Pyro stand still and when they come to hit you stun them and then run away when the ult stops hurting you. If you're thunder, hope that you don't die before it wears off and run.

Blink/teleportation items/spells do not cause ridiculous amounts of damage, so an alternative is to portal back to your base or blink where they can't see you and stop moving.

Against a blood hunter? That's really not going to work. A blood hunter would be able to smell you from far beyond blink range and you'd die anyway. You can't hide from lvl 4 blood sense.

With me, I tend to go solo and spend my time jungling along the edge of the river, or on the enemy side. Whenever my blood hunter smells a weak target, I can rush out for a kill. Honestly there's nothing I love more than smelling a near dead enemy hiding in his forest from across the map, then rushing in and completely ambushing them.

Not everyone notices the scent right away and if you blink off of the screen people are going to have to look for you. Besides, blinking is going to give you enough time for the ult to wear off and for you to start moving again. If you're smart you'll have a TP on you and you'll just port back to base. If you have regen hopefully you'll get above 40% quick enough for them to not be able to find you.

Him casting his ult doesnt always mean you're below half health. I've used it to force people to fight me instead of running back full health.

You take damage when you move, not when you go away from the point. So the second scenario.

A funny one is soul reaper.

Being able to instantly kill anyone at 45% hp and being able to see everyone on the map who is below 40% HP is synergy at it's funniest.

Ah, good point. I haven't seen that yet in practice but it makes perfect sense. I'll have to see if I can get that to happen.

Slither's ult is a Blood Hunter's FEAST! Slither will not finish most enemies, but a lot of them will be under 40% health while it does it's magic xD Add in a Thunder Bringer in the deal and prepare for some lulz ^^ Behemoth also goes very nicely, one well placed ult will leave lots of enemies with 20%-30% health left, ready to be eaten alive by Blood Hunter. Last but not least, Dark Lady, she can dish some nice burst damage and her ult can make Blood Hunter's hunt much safer when the poor enemies cannot help their allies.

Bloodhunter goes good with Pestilence and puppet master together with succubus or arachna :D

They make a good combo because when a hero is ruptured and low on Hp BH and Pesti can chase them and also Arachna can slow as well as puppet master .....

well in a clash Succubus could grip one and then arachna would kill one andthen pesti would Swarm another and stun and if all goes well

BH and Pesti will do the job if the run

If you get panda laning with blood hunter it's pretty funny, panda can force them to move forward (and yes him pushing them counts as movement).

It's funny as hell.

"OMG Y I DIE"

"cause pandap ushed you and you had hemo"

"OMG NERF"

Those all seem counter-intuitive.

Stuns =/= good for BH's ult.
Puppet is okay because they like to freak the hell out and try to keep moving out of puppet hold (thus making BH's ult do lots of damage).
Succubus isn't very good because she has no abilities that cause BH's ult to increase in effectiveness.
Arachna is even worse because her slows actually make BH's ult do less damage (it does damage for 60% of the distance they move; if they're slowed, they move less, thus taking less damage).

to note, Hook does synergies perfectly with hemo. its pretty fun to see someone being drag bleed to death

If you solo remember to grab Blood Feast (or whatever the name of the regeneration skill is - it's crazy good as a solo and lets you outlane a lot of heroes early on, then lets you get some pretty crazy double+ kills later if you can get farmed up enough).

The forced movement from Hook will do the 400 it normally does, but they don't take the distance as hemo damage. Neither does the force move from Tablet of Command.

It's kinda hard to run when a magmus suddenly appears with his ult already channeling (assuming he channeled before blink) because it slows the enemies. Yet everyone tries to run because it's so flashy and deadly :D

So true.

Either way, running is running. If they're inside the slow radius they're taking damage from that. If they're outside, the movement from trying to stay outside of magmus is going to deal the damage.

I still say Magmus + Soul reaper + Blood Hunter > all :)

He's good at solo. Just get Logger's Hatchet.

But since you are asking for a partner, Glacius is perfect.
Glacius mana regen allow you to spam your first skill, which deal quite an amount of dmg at lvl 1 (120 isn't that bad at early game).
It's also better than having your mana full all the time.
Glacius ulti worked with Bloodhunter silence.
Glacius ulti also worked with Bloodhunter ulti, using his/her ulti forces enemy to run away.

Heridshire

Glacius aura is global, so not really needed as early game partner. Most ranged int would do good early, I think. What you really want is to silence them non-stop for the damage, and some partner to keep them from harassing you when you are farming/last hitting.

Once you reach lvl 6, you'd better put your ult to use. Put you enemy under a situation where if you stay, die, if you run, die. Any partner that deals a reasonable damage in short amount of time will do.

However, if you have confidence and skill, go solo.

Against BH in a dual lane i'd go with healers. Jereziah would kinda nullify him, as long as he isnt silenced. In solo lanes, I think Zephyr would be good. Any int heroes would die at level 6, so better is an AGI hero that could fight back when ulted.
