Wildsoul Tips?

[Zakariel]

So Wildsoul has always interested me, especially since you can give items to his bear. I just had a game with him, and tried a few things out, like put the shield item on bear, along with boots, while just shoving some steamboots and a Soulscream ring on me. Really short match, so I didn't get to experiment much... I just wondered if anyone could give me a bit of an item build for them, and how i should play Wildsoul. I've heard he's a great jungler and putting Mock of Brilliance on bear is a good idea...

Anyways, anything you can tell me is an improvement on my knowledge ^_^.
Thanks, Zakkeh

dont forget to get a hatchet on both booboo and wildsoul - it really helps with farming and makes jungling much much faster.

[mf]

I personally solo middle with wildsoul, it is very easy to control runes + lane when you have a bear that can constantly harass and assist on last hitting. Also use my bear as a courier. I find jungling with this hero stupid, he might have the ability to do it but that doesn't mean he should. He is a very anooying her to verse in a lane.

[[S2]Vinthian]

Put two Iron Buckler on him and buy some Runes to start out. Then jungle and either rush Mock of Brilliance on Bear or get Thunderclaw.

When you get level 3 bear, (have lvl 3 Wild) go gank.

[noodle0117]

get enhanced marchers, not steamboots.

[Drasha]

Read my guide?

You should jungle from level one since it benefits your team a lot and you should stay in the jungle unit you have mock of brilliance and boots on booboo and boots on wildsoul. After that point focus on ganking and pushing down towers with some farm on the side. Upgrade booboos boots to enhanced marchers for the attack speed he does not get a benifit from stats. Also read my guide.

Reason why jungling is great.
You get a lot more gold then you do laning
your team has 2 solo lanes so they level a lot faster and get more gold
you can get a mock of briliance buy the 20 minute mark if you do nothing but farm and you are of average skill.

[Zakariel]

Sweet Drasha. I didn't realize there was a Wildsoul guide, and yours was very helpful.

Anyways, thanks everyone for these tips, they're extremely useful and now I feel like I can use Wildsoul with some actual skill now =P

[Pwnmanship]

All sucky guids. Just get the bear skill at the point the game starts. Also summon the bear.

Now give him hatchet and buckler. And buy like a potion or something.

Now the time the bears dies, you can directly summon a new bear.

You never have to go back town till you get lots of items.

[Padawanabee]

The first thing I would suggest is what's already been said, outfit your bear in tank+hatchet and go jungle. Try not to take too long, noone likes a 40 minutes jungle anything. 20 min rad is usually acceptable.

Wildsoul should have his ult and wild up for survivability. Try to keep him at the edges of fights while using Booboo to fight in team fights where nukes are flying around. When it's a bit safer, turn Wildsoul into fragile ranged to help DPS.

[Anari]

Use.
Your.
Bear.
(For he is OP! :O)

[Zakariel]

Yeah, I've followed a lot of what's been said here. I start off with Bear with Stout Shield or whatever and hatchet and Wildsoul with runes. Then I either farm until I have enough for a couple marchers+Gloves of the Swift, as in general I don't have enough patience to save up for a Mock =P. So far, this ends up pretty well, especially if I can manage to get Charged Hammer on Wildsoul. Pushing a couple towers mid with jsut myself and a few creep waves is so much fun ^^

[[QsQ]Sia]

hmm, after farmin etc, and get standart items (enhanced marchers etc.) and enough money i would definetly recommend you to buy brutalizer, cuz your ability wild that you have extreme attackspeed you can rlly kill all heroes in 1v1, stun from bear + itemstun (brutalizer) = enemy player over 80% of fight stunned and easy death..
problem its nice tactic if you see a person alone and can gank him...

[[E]Tripwyr]

Getting a brutalizer on Wildsoul is retarded.

Get ONE hatchet, no point getting two. Get ONE iron buckler. Put both on your bear.

Next get TWO marchers for you and you bear.

Next get TWO gloves of the swift, both for your bear. This will allow you to gank early without waiting for Mock of Brilliance.

Next build Mock of Brilliance. Once this is complete you're done your core build, and should be set until end game.

Skill build: Bear/Synergy/Bear/Synergy/Bear/Ultimate/Bear/Wild/Wild/Wild/Ultimate/Wild/Synergy/Synergy/Stats/Ultimate/Stats

Luxury items: Warpcleft -> Daemonic Breastplate
NOW you can get Brutalizer if you like
Thunderclaw -> Charged Hammer
Shield Breaker

NOTE: When you get your ultimate, use it and take the hatchet from your bear. Once your bear gets sword of the high, give him the hatchet back. Finally, once your bear gets Warpcleft, take the hatchet back.

When you get level 3 bear, (have lvl 3 Wild) go gank.

lol Iron Bucklers don't stack do they? Both are at 100% chance to block 20 damage... I suggest not getting 2.

Wildsoul tips.... uhmm based on dota.(items)

Wildsoul(Syllabear)items: Butterfly, Tarrasque, Radiance, Threads/Phaseboots, Sny, and Vladimirs. = GG

Booboo items: Deso, Mkb, Basher, Phaseboots/Threads, and some Damage and Armor Items ;D


That should work with booboo so fast and so are you you can easily pwned them because booboo has basher and mkb which means 2sec stun and some .5sec stuns then with his passive skill that is also 2sec you are nearly impossible to move

For Wildsoul you're just adding up the dmg dealt t your enemy or you can also attack other enemy when there are more than 1 hero in an instance...

Edit : get 1st and third for your skill then level your last until the 2 skills are lvl 4 then go 2nd then some stats the gg
There ya GO! > happy owning

Skill build: Bear/Synergy/Bear/Synergy/Bear/Ultimate/Bear/Wild/Wild/Wild/Ultimate/Wild/Synergy/Synergy/Stats/Ultimate/Stats

FIXED - 2 gloves is the same price, and you get extra ms with punchdagger

Also as soon as you get to level 6 yourself you should buy another hatchet, helps you farm faster.
- You can double stack 3 neutral camps at the same time for extra gold
- As soon as your bear reaches level 5 so you can use him to gank a lane, enemy should be level 4 at this point, giving you an advantage.
- bind your bear to hotkeys, I use 1 for wildsoul, 2 for bear and 3 for wildsoul and bear, you can use ctrl + 1 to bind your current selected targets to the key, then just tap the respective key to select the units. It's very handy for couriers as well.

lol Iron Bucklers don't stack do they? Both are at 100% chance to block 20 damage... I suggest not getting 2.

60% chance to block 20 damage (10 for ranged) it really isn't worth getting 2 bucklers, just get 1 for the bear. Don't be afraid to let the bear die either as long as you can resummon him. And make sure you have some health as well, because he will take a portion of it when he dies.

[[OCR]RTBardic]

Drasha's guide is really solid for Wildsoul: you should aim to have boots for both and Mock at the 25 minute mark. I've been ganked once and still had it at 25, so it's easily doable if you play safe (hopefully a support char will ward the bottom runespot for you).

My starting items are shield and hatchet, both for booboo.

One important note (I think from Drasha's guide also?) is about the skill build: Only take 2 points of the passive at first, then get Wild maxed -- it's better than the last 2 points of passive for jungling purposes.

[Juular]

You people are probably going to flame me for saying this.

I never get runes on Wildsoul. I always get 2x logger's hatchet, 2x iron buckler, and put both iron bucklers on booboo and a logger's hatchet on both wildsoul and booboo. I usually end up farming the predasaurs and dragons by level 4-5.

Then I rush Enh. Marchers (for the ias and move speed buff) and then I rush Mock of Brilliance, and by that time BooBoo is able to push towers alone with no creeps around (if I so desired).

After saving enough gold, I'll buy some tanking items for myself (and BooBoo if needed).

By that time, the game is usually over.

EDIT: I forgot, BooBoo's entangle is insane if you get lots of IAS. Stack it. Love it. Abuse it. BooBoo's proc rate will be so high on entangle if you give him lots of IAS, especially considering that S2 lowered the cooldown to 3 seconds (from 5).

As for skill build, I usually go -

BooBoo
Attunement
BooBoo
Attunement
Wild
Bear form
BooBoo
Attunement
BooBoo
Attunement
Bear Form
Wild
Wild
Wild
stats


EDIT: I also usually get Hack and Slash, and booboo(with the Wild buff + a pair of marchers) will have 522 MS. He's unstoppable with the amount of IAS he has at that point; he just chases people down, attacks them repeatedly, entangles, etc. And all the while, mock of brilliance is whittling them down.

[Drasha]

Tamriilian First not having level 3 bear at level 5 slows your farm a lot level 3 bear for entangle is worth a lot more then one point in wild.

Hack and Slash is a horrible item on booboo. Booboo can gain max movement speed from upgrading marchers to enhanced marcher which gives great stats for the price and is an amazing core item on booboo. Booboo also does not benifit from stats at all every single point of agility and str on an item is waste because he gets nothing from them. Listed all the benefits you get from hack and slash bellow. Of course if you were talking about this item for wildsoul you would get benifits from the stats but there are better items for its price.

Hack and Slash 4500 Gold
+12 Damage
+15 Attack Speed
+12% Movement Speed
15% chance to apply Crippled to attack target for 4 seconds.
Crippled Effects
-15 Attack Speed
30% Movement Slow

[snake86]

personally, one point in wild, not taking bear form early kinda works, cause range is always prefer early on, and giving yourself the option of a slight boost in atk/mov speed can mess up people's calculation. and frankly all booboo needs is atk speed, and the occasional lifesteal(from A.skull) for hp maintainence. and one thing to note is early on when chasing, always control hero and booboo seperately since booboo would always be faster and is the one with the disable.
