Earthshaker | Hero Dota 2 

Earthshaker Dota 2 - Raigor Stonehoof the Earthshaker is a melee Strength Hero with several area of effect disables, commonly played as a ganker or initiator. Unlike most Strength heroes, he is played more like an Intelligence caster hero and is almost entirely reliant on his spells to inflict heavy damage. His Fissure is a versatile spell that affects enemies in a line, used to stun, inflict decent damage, and create an impassable wall of earth for a significant duration. Good usage of this can cut off chokepoints, leaving enemies with no escape routes or preventing them from chasing after endangered allies.

Earthshaker Dota 2 - Like a golem or gargoyle, Earthshaker was one with the earth but now walks freely upon it. Unlike those other entities, he created himself through an act of will, and serves no other master. In restless slumbers, encased in a deep seam of stone, he became aware of the life drifting freely above him. He grew curious. During a season of tremors, the peaks of Nishai shook themselves loose of avalanches, shifting the course of rivers and turning shallow valleys into bottomless chasms.

When the land finally ceased quaking, Earthshaker stepped from the settling dust, tossing aside massive boulders as if throwing off a light blanket. He had shaped himself in the image of a mortal beast, and named himself Raigor Stonehoof. He bleeds now, and breathes, and therefore he can die. But his spirit is still that of the earth; he carries its power in the magical totem that never leaves him. And on the day he returns to dust, the earth will greet him as a prodigal son.

Explanation:

Starting items:

• Since Fissure's mana cost is relatively high, being only usable once with his mediocre mana pool, Clarities will help keep the mana sustained for the early-game.
• A Healing Salve and Tangos will help him survive in the lane, or can even be used to keep his ally alive.
• Gauntlets of Strength and an Iron Branch, which can be used to build a Bracer and Magic Wand, respectively, will provide a nice boost of health and damage, as well as slightly more mana.

Early-game items:

• The Magic Stick can be a good source of health and mana restoration if the enemies use their abilties often, and can even be used in a pinch to get enough mana for his Fissure.
• The Bracer gives a good source of health, damage, and mana.

Core items:

• Arcane Boots not only allows him to spam his abilities even more, but it is a good support item to restore his allies' mana.
• The Magic Wand has the same restoration ability as the Magic Stick (with 5 more max charges), provides nice stats, and saves up an inventory slot from the starting Iron Branch.
• Blink Dagger is a fantastic initiation tool, being able to severely damage the enemy heroes by blinking in and using Echo Slam and Aftershock. It can also be used to chase fleeing enemies to take them down with his Enchant Totem and Aftershock combo.

Positioning

Earthshaker's positioning directly correlates to the effectiveness of his skills, where being on the border of a fight, aiming inwards, is ideal and almost always crucial to landing fissure on the greatest number of enemy units. Common places to be are at towers behind primary farming heroes because towers hide your presence and offer the element of surprise.

Stay out of enemy range when your spells are on cooldown. Despite the immense range, damage, and utility of Fissure, Enchant Totem, and Echo Slam, their lengthy cooldowns are an exploitable weakness. Fortunately, this can be mitigated somewhat by breaking line of sight or by purchasing survival-based items such as a Ghost Scepter or Force Staff.
