About this build

Full guide1st Hero & Naga Archer/Dott Push

A strong timing push to hopefully end the game close to the 8-9 minute mark. The idea is a decent number of Archers with 2 Druids of the Talon in the back casting Faerie Fire to reduce armour and give vision. The Naga second brings damage, slow with Frost Arrow and, at level 2, Chain Lightning as a finisher. Buy Heal and Protection Scrolls on the way.

Easy, though you need to know how to Ancient of War creep. Ideally your first hero is level 3 when you push.
