Early Game (Level 1-6)
Skills:-
1. BurrowStrike
2. Stats
3. ButtowStrike
4. Stats
5. BurrowStrike
6. Epicenter
Items (485):-
Things to get before you leave for your lane for a 5v5 game ... 1. circlet (185)
2. Glove of Strength (150)
3. Sapphire water (100)
4. Clarity Potion (50)
GamePlay:-
Very easy. Take any lane. I prefer getting a solo lane for bottom if I'm sentenial, and top if i'm scourge. Remember. You're a melee hero. Behave as one. Just go in for the last hit. Do not use your burrowstrike now, except some rarely exceptional case, e.g.:- enemy hero comes within your tower's range. Your main goal now is nothing more than to level up as fast as possible to level 6.
Hero Killing:-
This is what i follow. It works most of the time for me. 1. When you are at level3 (having level2 BurrowStrike), cast it on your enemy, then quickly run back. 2. When you are at level5 (having level3 BurrowStrike), cast it on your enemy again, hit him once/twice, then run back. 3. Find a good timing, stay out clearly from your enemy's sight, consume your clarity potion. (so that you will have enough mana to cast your burrow-epic combo when your ulti comes) 4. When u are at level6, do this combo:- BurrowStrike-Epicentre, and give chase to your enemy.
Most of the time, 9 out of 10, i will get a kill.
Mid Game (Level 7-16)
Skills:-
7. BurrowStrike
8. Stats / SandStorm
9. Stats
10. Stats
11. Epicentre
12. Caustic Finale
13. Caustic Finale
14. Caustic Finale
15. Caustic Finale
16. Epicentre
Items(485 + 3035):-
5. Bracer (185)
6. Boot Of Speed (500)
7. Void Stone (900)
8. Mystic Staff (1000)
9. Robe Of Magi (450) --> Eul's Sceptor
GamePlay:-
You can ask someone to look after your lane, and go hero hunting. Look for heroes with no nuke or disable (as your ultimate is a channeling spell, and if u get stunned/disabled during the casting 2 sec, you're doomed). If it's a big fat high hp hero, you won't be able to kill them with a single burrow-epic combo. I suggest that you burrowStrike him once/twice and hit him a few times, before you pull of your combo to get a sure kill.
Hero Killing:-
After you've got your Eul's, you have another way to kill heroes. Same rules applied. If possible, don;t got for stunners/disablers. This is how you kill them:-
1. BurrowStrike
2. Hit 2-3 times
3. Cyclone them
4. Wait below, hit him once when he lands, and quickly burrowStrike again.
5. Hit him 2-3 times.
6. If he's still alive, cyclone him up again, and do the same procedure.
Farming on Creeps:- Once you've got your Caustic Finale, farming will be as easy as A-B-C. I pressume that by this stage, you should have got your Eul's. When a creep wave come, target the range creep, and burrowStrike it. (You will stunned all of the creeps). Attack the range creep, and when he dies, he will get exploded and causes damage to the melee creeps. Choose the lowest health melee creep and attack. When he dies and explodes, you will get the WHOLE creep wave. Isn't that easy ?
End Game:-
Skill:-
17. Stats
18. Stats
19. Stats
20. Stats
21. Stats
22. Stats
23. Sand Storm
24. Sand Storm
25. Sand Storm
Items:- 10. BKB (If your opponent comprises of a lot of stunners/disablers)
or
10. Linken Sphere (If the opposite team has only one stun/disable spell)
or
10. Complete your Guinsoo (If there's no stunners/disablers)
11. Heart Of Tarraque (This will be your final item)
If the game still doesn't end, then you will have a variety of options here. You can go for Boots Of Travellers for lane pushing. With your BurrowStrike-Caustic Finale, clearing creep waves should be easy for you. Or you can go for MKB for extra damage and attack speed. If your team needs you to tank, then get another Heart Of Tarrasque. Whatever items you get, just remember, DO NOT GET ANY ORB EFFECT ITEMS, as this will cancel off your Caustic Finale.
Game Play:- You start to notice that your Epicentre's function is gradually wearing down. It doesn't kill enemy as easy as before. As for this stage, most of the time people will be gathering in the middle and push hard.
- if your team has a tanker, he will be the one entering the battle first. You, the 2nd. When he enters the battle, and all the enemy cast spells on him, this is your turn. BurrowStrike, Avatar(If you have BKB), then Epicentre. The rest of you teammates should pick up the finishing job.
- if your team do not have a tanker, i suggest that you be the tanker. Once you get your heart Of Tarrasque (or 2), you can start tanking. Same tactic. BurrowStrike, Avatar(if u have BKB), then epicentre.
Hero Killing:-
This stage of game shouldn't be concentrated on hero killing. Pushing is your ultimate goal. Stay together with your team. Help them. Use your cyclone/BurrowStrike to save yourself and your ally. That's all. Till then ..... Enjoy ~~~ :)

El_Toque @ Thu 24-01-08 01:32PM
I could honestly go through every guide on this site and utterly fix it. Get fucking CAUSTIC FINALE with burrowstrike first. Thats how you fucking harass a hero, lasthit something. Also, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE KELENS??? It helps with the epicenter but DAMN does it with burrowstrike basically makes him a chaser. Also, BKB is usually a reatarded item to get unless you're against rhasta lion AND CM. If you're entirely concerned about disables get a Linkens. When you use MKB if you dont have a Kelens everyone will just run away from you. and wait while you do NOTHING and waste you're avatar time. Honestly play some dota once in a while before you write a guide...
sky lapcheong @ Sun 16-12-07 09:17AM

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Y NO RADIANCE UR MAKING DIS HERO WEAK!!!!!111
ParangGila @ Thu 23-08-07 12:17PM
i think u should lvl-up sandstrom first... from my exp playing Dota, sandstrom is very important and powerful when you counter a lot of creeps and also get rid of the heroes...
my favourite combo:
sand strom(until enemy hp becomes half or below)
burrow strike and then epic center... for the sure kill heroes buy danger of escape and teleport to the heroes when he get away...
suck a noob guide...
play more..a noob wont farm like this...
u can farm like this in a noob game..
in pro game..its hard for sandking to solo...
mind it ...NOOB!
this is great advice,but i was wondering if i should go for guinso first or refresher orb. cos every time i solo pudge, i need 2 epicenters to kill him.
I've just been letting everything pass me by lately. I've more or less been doing nothing. Not much going on lately. I can't be bothered with anything recently.
Wonderful and informative web site.I used information from that site its great.
