Introduction: .1a
Wretched Hag is based off the DOTA hero Akasha, Queen of Pain, with some subtle differences; most notably her Ultimate applying the Haunt debuff to its targets (mass aoe slow and DOT) and that her third skill, Sonar Scream, hits units that are fogged and invisible.
Wretched Hag is one of the most versatile heroes in the entire game. A strong nuking semi-carry with amazing chasing ability, she maintains relevance throughout the game, and she is one of the heroes that has the ability to step on the throat of the other team before their carries even have a chance to breathe. Should the early game go awry, she is one of the best ward hoes around.

Ophelia Guide
Friday, April 30th, 2010
the least picked hero in HoN
Post #1 deals with Ophelia’s Stats, her Skills and a few Itembuilds.
Post #2 covers her role from early to late game, which minions to get during what phase of the game, counters to Ophelia and counter warding when certain spots in your jungle get blocked.
Post #3 shows how to push towers, gank in the early and mid game, how to solo Kongor as soon as you hit Level 6 and what heroes work best with/against her. There’s also a little guide that shows how to jungle in the beginning and how to pull neutral creepcamps.
So if you check the hero usage statistics you’ll probably notice that Ophelia is only picked in 0,6% of all the games played! Is it because she sucks? Definitely not, as most of the higher tier players love her to death.
It’s because she’s probably the hardest hero out there to play right. Why’s that? Because using her to her full potential means that you need to get your microskillz straight.
Strength: 20 (+1.5)

Introduction
I thought I would write some of the information that I constantly say in games online to new players or via the in game comms. It is a joint effort with friends the guide will be updated, so if you have any piece of information you want to contribute with, feel free to post it in this thread.
Text in Red is the Heroes of Newerth item name
Text in Green is the same item but the DotA name for it.
Basics
- Don’t assume you always have to be fighting to win the game.
- You get experience for being about 2/3 of the screen width away when something dies, you don’t have to kill it yourself.
- You get gold from a kill if you make the final, killing blow on it.
- Early on, getting experience is more important than getting gold.
- Killing enemy heroes gets you roughly 200 gold and some experience.
- Dying costs you a %age of your gold, and means your opponents level ALOT faster than you. **[[EDIT 30*Your Level rather than a percentage of your current gold. So a level 4 hero will lose exactly 30*4 = 120 gold.]]**
- Press the quote key ‘ (or you can remap this in the control’s section) to show units health/mana bars above them.
- Heroes abilities decide games.
Therefore, if you don’t recognise the hero you are against in your lane, ask your teammates what to watch out for. They will tell you the nastiest things you will face.

[1] Introduction
Alright, so I’ve written a Nymphora guide before, and it was decent. This one however, I’m going all out on. Nymphora received some amazing buffs in 0.1.42, and I intend to highlight why exactly these buffs are amazing, and why I feel that Nymphora might be the best support hero in the entire game. So, say hello to the most annoying little fairy ever, Nymphora.
Nymphora has long been a protectress of Newerth’s secret beauties, its secluded glades and crystal springs. One might think that the paragon of butterflies and skylarks would have little role in the brutal carnage that has engulfed the world, but one need only see the tiny fangs revealed by her smile to know that she holds secret dangers of her own.
Slither Guide
Monday, January 18th, 2010
After a successful 1st guide I am back, this time with Slither. This guide is meant to be straightforward and to the point. I will not go over basic skills like last hitting and ward placement, however, you can refer to Nome’s guide on warding by following this link http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=4839
As the formatting of my other guide was considered acceptable by the vast majority of the forumers, I will use the same format in this guide.

Blood Hunter
Although the Hunters were members of the Beast Horde in its war against the humans,
they always preferred the darkness to the light, and were won over to the Hellbourne
with the promise of human blood. They are led by the traitor Blood Hunter, a swift and
deadly warrior who feeds on the blood of his enemies and heals with horrifying speed.

Glacius Guide by TinyBlkTears
Monday, October 5th, 2009
Disclaimer:
Glacius is an incredibly straightfoward hero. Crystal Maiden (the dota equivalent) was probably my strongest hero when I played competitively, so after reading this guide, all my knowledge of this hero will be passed on to you. That’s all there is to it.

Blacksmith Guide by Padawanabee
Thursday, October 1st, 2009
Introduction
Blacksmith is a rather unique hero in Heroes of Newerth. A melee hero with above average starting armor, strength, strength gain, and base damage, the blacksmith is actually a intelligence-based nuke supporter who keeps his team strong (or at least fast) and the other team weak. His stats and skills are each direct ports of the Ogre Magi from DotA, but as with most heroes of HoN he received a significant aesthetic upgrade with the port.
How we will play blacksmith in this guide is as an early game ganker with late game team support. His excellent starting strength and strength gain, coupled with a spell that allows for a significant speed boost, allows us to focus on intelligence and support related items without having to worry about our survivablity.
