Ok. As i promised some of you guys that i'm gonna come up with more newbie-user-friendly hero guide, here it is, the Sniper. :)

Ok. Let's take a look at the stats first before going any further.

ScatterShot (C)
Fires a ball full of shrapnel into the air. which promptly explodes, showering the target area in explosive pellets, each doing 10-35 physical damage in a 200 area of effect.

Level 1 - 8 Pellets.
Level 2 - 12 Pellets.
Level 3 - 16 Pellets.
Level 4 - 20 Pellets.

Headshot (O)
A shot to the head deals bonus damage and stuns for a short duration.

Level 1 - 30 damage, 25% chance.
Level 2 - 30 damage, 30% chance.
Level 3 - 40 damage, 35% chance.
Level 4 - 50 damage, 40% chance.

Take Aim (E)
Passively enhances the range of Kardel's rifle.

Level 1 - Adds 55 range.
Level 2 - Adds 110 range.
Level 3 - Adds 165 range.
Level 4 - Adds 220 range.

Assassinate (T)
Take time to draw a bead, and then deal a large amount of damage to the target at a huge range.

Level 1 - Deals 355 damage at 1500 range.
Level 2 - Deals 505 damage at 2000 range.
Level 3 - Deals 655 damage at 2500 range.

ok. 1st question. Why do i think sniper is a newbie friendly hero? Basically, the answer lies on all his pros:-

Pros
1. Long range hero

2. Easy farming spell
3. not much micro manage needed

Cons

1. Low Health

2. Slow

Ok now. My build here is not the most powerful damage hero killing type, nor is it going to concentrate on spamming your spells 24/7. It's a hybrid build of allowing you to spam your spells as when needed for farming/hero killing, while at the same time, keeping you safe and alive on countless occations. Let's go thru the skill build and item build now.

Early Game (lvl 1-8)

Skill

Some people up headshot early (for the extra damage), some people up take aim (for the extra range for safety purposes). I opt for stats (+2 to agi/int/str). Reason behind is, it gives you the extra health neede to sustain more injuries, while at the same time, giving you enough mana to spam your ScatterShot to earn easy money on creeps, thus, allowing you to obtain your items faster. This is crucial. And so, this is how the skill build looks like

1. ScatterShot

2. Stats

3. ScatterShot

4. Stats

5. ScatterShot

6. Assasinate

7. ScatterShot

8. Stats

Item

You need to out level your enemies, as u really relly heavily on your stats to survive and to create chaos. In order to do that, u need to stay on your lane for as long as you could. How to achieve that? Easy. Start of with a chicken, then go to your lane. In a 5v5, u have just enough money for a chicken. Once u get the chicken, go straight to your lane. Just right about the 1 wave of creeps are spawned, u have enough money to buy yourself a sobi mask. Get it. USE YOUR CHICKEN. Your next item should be Void Stone, and then Robe of Magi, and Staff Of Wizardy to complete your Eul's. During the journey, if you get any damage, just use chicken to buy health potion, and send it to you and consume it. :)

1. Chicken (225)

2. Sobi mask (Once u have the money) (325)
3. Void Stone (900)

4. Robe of Magi (450)

5. Staff Of Wizardy (1000)

*IMPORTANT*. I believe during lvl1-5, you should be harrasing your opponents with scatter shot, or hit him with your normal shots. Try your best to get him damage below 300hp. Use as much of your scatter shot and direct hits to achieve that. Just right before you you are about to reach lvl6, direct your chicken to get you 1-2 clarity potion. Normally, enemies will no fall back when they see that you don;t have enough mana to cast your Assasinate. This is the most important point. Once u reach lvl 6, pick up the clarity potion from chicken and consume it, beware not to let your opponent see it. Once you get enough mana for the assasinate spell (175), cast it. Even if you dun get the first kill, it will experience deny your opponent, thus giving your the edge on leveling against him. You still win :)

Mid Game

Skill

Ok. Mid game, you should be aiming to farm/kill heroes. Check out on each enemy heroes on your map. When u see heroes with low hp, try to set up a gang bang with your ally on that lane to get the enemy hero killed. Go in together, draw a few shots, and finish of with your assasinate. You should know what hero you can charge right in, and which one that will rip your ass apart. Experience will tell you that.

9. Stat

10. Stat

11. Assasinate

12. Stat / HeadShot / Take Aim

13. Stat / HeadShot / Take Aim

14. Stat / HeadShot / Take Aim

15. Stat / HeadShot / Take Aim

16. Assasinate

From level 12-15, it's actually your choice of upgrading your skills. It actually all depends on what you want. If you are looking for more damage, then go ahead with HeadShot. Take aim gives you the range, with lvl 4, your range will be at 750, the longest in DOTA history, even the tree throwing the stones can't reach you. :) Still, i have to say this, Experience will tell you which spell you need to upgrade. Trust your instinct :)

Item

As for item wise, I believe if you have been chased a lot by your enemy, u have particularly used up all your cyclone charges in your eul's. Therefore, it's now high time for you to get another mean of excape, the Lothar Edge. After you've got that, complete your Eul's to Guinsoo for More Spamming of ScatterShot + Assasinate.

1. Blade Of Alacrity (1000)
2. Claymore (1400)

3. Lothar Edge Scroll (1400)

4. Robe of Magi (450)

6. Quatter Staff (1100) -> Becomes Oblivion Staff with your Sobi Mask

7. Guinsoo Scroll (900)

Final Stage (lvl 17-25)

Skill

Skill build from here on is judgemental. It's either Stats / Headshot / Take Aim. Experience. Hahahahahaha :D Upgrade your skills base on your intuition.

Item

From now on, It's basically up to you to get what you want. I have a variety of choise over here that you can choose from.

1. Monkey King Bar

2. Crystalys / Buriza

3. Eye Of Skadi
4. Sange & Yasha

Farming Skills

Easy for Sniper. Just stay back, be a coward. DO NOT go head on with your enemy heroes. Stay back. Wait for creeps from both party to engage and u opened 2 fires, then cast your ScatterShot. I can 100% Guarantee that you will get at LEAST 2 creeps per wave. I normally get 3-4 creeps, and when lucky, i get ALL. imagine. 50gold per creep, 5 creeps will give you around 250 gold per creep wave.

Hero Killing

There's no way you could kill a hero with a single snipe. People are not that stupid u know? What i can say is, use your ASSASINATE on hero whenever it's cool down is ready. Wear his hp down. The cooldown on your ultimate is the FASTER in dota history. Spare your scatter shot for farming.

When you are gang banged, quickly cyclone/sheep any of the hero. and run back to your fountain like a bapuk (unless u have confident in killing them). When u have your lothar, turn on your lothar and run. That if the reason why u should use your assasinate from afar to thin away the fat hp of your enemies before they come close to you. It will make your killing much more easier when their hp is lower. Cappish ? :)

Well, basically, that's all about it. Happy trying, and shoot if you have any questions. Comments / Flammings are welcomed with WIDE open arms :)

	Guest @ Thu 26-11-09 04:04PM YOU FOCUS MUCH ON KARDELS FARMING ABILITIES NOT ALL THE TIME KARDEL SHOULD FARM HE ALSO NEEDS TO KILL... KARDEL SHOULD BE VERSATILE TO KEEP HIM ALIVE AND TO KILL SOME HEROES AS WELL SKILLS: TAKE AIM HEADSHOT TAKE AIM HEADSHOT ASSASINATE TAKE AIM HEADSHOT TAKE AIM HEADSHOT STAT ASSASINATE STAT ONWARDS AND ON UR LAST LEVELS USE UR POINTS TO SCATTER SHOT ITEM:(RANDOM ORDER) THREADS..SPEED AND AGI SANGE YASHA..hp DAMAGE BUTTERFLY..atk spd dmg DOMI..LIFESTEAL (why not satanic?? ANSWER its expensive and its unholy rage is pretty useless bcoz of its short tym and it doesnt have much difference) MASK OF MADNESS...so kardel can go one on one (dont worry about the 30% more damage you can kill your enemy before your HP is gone) SOUL BOOSTER..hp AND mP KARDEL IS USELESS WITHOUT HIS RANGE THAT MAKES HIM STAND OUT AMONG HEROES YOU CAN DESTROY TOWERS WITH JUST YOUR NORMAL SHOT (when you mastered take aim)

	sELipAr_jEpUn @ Thu 24-09-09 02:18AM item -Power Treads -Vanguard -Sange and Yasha -Lothar's Edge -The Butterfly -Eye of Skadi(final item)

	noob garena dota player @ Mon 01-12-08 04:19PM but for me, if there are 1 or 2 people chasing u, u could kill at least 1 of them , without dying...

	noob garena dota player @ Mon 01-12-08 04:13PM i love ur farming tactics, but if u are up against some good players, they will have something that could counter eul . so u get lorthars.

	Guest @ Mon 24-11-08 04:10PM 86% of online statistics are made up on the spot.

	cyp @ Wed 20-08-08 01:51AM Take Aim and Headshot for Kardel was the popular build and used by many DOTA players. Your skill build was a pusher/farm type. With this he can farm much earlier than the normal yet popular killer build of Kardel (HS and TA). Only a professional (and not those wannabes who can't experiment items and just go for the usual bandwagon style) can successfully make it with this kind of built. BTW, you can't kill this hero with this build because of his escape mechanism items (Lothars, Guinsoo, Skadi later on, then evaded attacks by Butterfly). And when he use Arcane Ring for extra mana flow, spam Scattershot all you want and your opponent don't have anytime for denies. I used this build even before I've seen your guide and I can own with Kardel big time with it. Nice build sir! Keep experimenting!

	Dota phil champion @ Wed 06-08-08 03:23PM yur so dumb kardel is only take aim and headshot and last the assasinate..and its items are desolator,cuirass-you need it cuz kardel is so soft!!!,the butterfly and heart of tarrasque...that is him!

	red @ Tue 15-07-08 01:13PM kardel is an agility type of hero..so you should focus on increasing his agility and damage...so for me.. 1. butterfly-for attack speed 2. buriza-adds damage and critical 3. assault cuirass-armor & attack speed 4. satanic/helm of dominator-life steal 5. mkb-damage 6. power threads/agility

	noypi @ Thu 17-04-08 02:38AM PALAGAY KO TOL! PANG AI NGA!!! DI NAMAN SGRO TANGA ANG MGA PLAYERS!!!.....PARA MAKILL LANG SA ITEM NA YAN..... LOL!.....

	lionel319 @ Mon 28-01-08 09:39AM yes u are and that is why if u have an eul with u, that will safe your ass.

	Guest @ Mon 28-01-08 05:02AM i can't do anything with your suggestion......cz i'm the meal for every body,especially spirit breaker.....

	sky lapcheong @ Sun 16-12-07 09:24AM ajhay: easy la, all u need is BF, heart, radience, Assault Cuirass, Powertread, Buriza, Sure Owning. Guarantee

	Ajhay @ Sun 16-12-07 07:07AM hey wat about all items & stats of King Davion the Dragon Knight ? Post it! :P

	@ Sat 15-12-07 06:08PM my built is completely different from this ... i can farm sufficiently without using any mana at all ... and i dun take scattershot at the beginning ... i took the other 2 skills to harrass hero ... which is better than keeping yourself in a safe range ...

	sniper @ Fri 14-12-07 07:11PM no time la not clear enough meh?

	ghr23 @ Fri 14-12-07 11:52AM better give screenshot

	Miguel @ Mon 19-11-07 08:28PM Stupid item build!!!

	!xobile @ Tue 30-10-07 01:10PM Guest : English pls...

	Guest @ Tue 30-10-07 11:41AM bobo!! di marunong

	Guest @ Tue 23-10-07 06:21PM Dwarven Sniper has incredibly low damage. Second only to Goblin Techies. The best thing he is for is for: 1. Harass 2. Kill Steal 3. Chase 4. Range towers Also, I would get him Lifesteal, Eye of Skadi and Hyperstone.

	net @ Wed 17-10-07 09:48AM HEY,,,ONLY AI'S CAN BE KILLED WITH THIS ITEM..HAHAHAHA WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PLAYERS NOOB LIKE YOU???? HUH!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING? F**K YOU!

	SwishaHouse3 @ Wed 15-08-07 06:13AM at least this guide's item build isnt so shitty btw @SS r u a fuckin moron sniper isnt a movement speed hero dumbass if ur looking for one go to sb

	@$$ @ Sat 11-08-07 07:06PM That's awesome.But I think u should buy something that would increase movement speed :)

	fuck_noob @ Thu 09-08-07 02:30PM kuck ou bitch!

	Guest @ Sat 21-07-07 10:31AM i mean 500 lol

	Guest @ Sat 21-07-07 10:30AM yep...this strategy worked...when im playing with AI, ill try it tonight with real players, i liked how u regen mp very fast, but the dmg wasnt really enough, lothar edge is really good, you can hide, wait for the opponent player to drop below 5, use your lothar, get into his face, and assasinate lol. well made guide

	Dennevhyn @ Tue 17-07-07 03:01PM Very good! Send me some tips in my e-mail, dennevhyn_31@yahoo.com. Thanks.

	Guest jp @ Thu 05-07-07 12:14PM Your build and items on the dwarven sucks..dwarven is one of the most amazing hero on dota all stars..dwarven should have treads..MKB..buriz...sange and yasha...butterfly...divine..hehe..you should focus on head shot and take aim..dwarven is not a pusher type...its a hero killer..dang youre wrong

	Bill @ Tue 12-06-07 11:33AM Worst! He he he. I think At the start of the Game, Buy ultimate orb, sobi mask, ring of protection, and boots of speed. Level up with scatter shot.

	Guest @ Fri 18-05-07 10:04AM Think your post is VERY GOOD, only ppl that havent tried SS will tell u that is bad for farming. Give u advantage against your opponent by killing his creeps so he needs to fall back especialy if its a melee one. Strange that someone would write those nasty words about someones opinion, but than again there r some sick fuckers in this world. One thing is that that much mana reg it may be too much cause u can start with dmg items earlier and use that to start pawning enemy players face to face. Lotars is a good choice for a start. And for the morons (they will recognize them selfs), just give it a one honest try with this tactics and ull see. There r many different ways to skin a cat.

	T1DuZ @ Fri 11-05-07 03:42AM U got the skills wrong! First TA and Hs first and ATR til u get ulti..Max HS and TA, SS is the last u take(only for defending towers..Sort of)...in the begining u wan to be safe u know..And the only thing u need is lothar, skadi and kelen dagger..And dmg stuff if u can afford..

	wtf @ Sat 21-04-07 11:32AM For me sctter is the last skill i will put on cause it dosent help me a lot. so i would prefer to master headshot and takeaim then stats.

	Kardel Sharpeye @ Fri 20-04-07 03:02PM This guide is a waste of time trust your instincts???? If I do that why at the first place I need this guide.. Your fucking wasting my time

	DONT SHOOT! @ Sat 14-04-07 09:36PM I MEAN SONG...

	DONT SHOOT! @ Sat 14-04-07 09:36PM I HAVE A ONG FOR U..FUCK U,ITS TRUE,SNIPER WILL KILL U,UR A BLOODY GAY THATS WHAT I WOULD SAY,NOTHING PROVES ME WRONG COZ UR JUZ SO GAY!!!!PS-UR A FUCKING BAPOK WITH NO BALLSSSS!!!R U SURE U HAVE DICK?U PROBABLY HAVE A DAMN PUSSY!!GO TO THE DOCTOR AND CHECK LA!!MAYBE UR DICK IS TOO SMALL!!!

	DONT SHOOT! @ Sat 14-04-07 09:32PM wth?u think sniper is that bapok?i can do double kill with scatter shot on bloodseeker and magina!btw i played unbapokly and i still could kill em!and i didnt die...juz die laa mother bastard of all fuckers!!!!

	davor @ Tue 10-04-07 01:12AM ghdfh

	Guest @ Tue 03-04-07 12:02PM Is it true that dwarwen is weak when his oponent is juggernut?

	Guest @ Sun 01-04-07 07:35PM Uhhh, your guide is pretty bad. You don't want scattershot in the start of the game, because you want to stay safe and farm near your tower. When you're killing the oppenents creeps to fast your're pushing towards their tower which is good for them. It doesn't improve you're farming significantly either, you can get Hand of Midas and farm some neutrals every 100 seconds, which is better than scattershot because it takes less mana which you need for assasinate.

	lukman @ Mon 26-03-07 09:31PM PS: how to use hero killer DONT USE SS WHEN GAME STARTING,it use just for deffen the towers

	lukman @ Mon 26-03-07 09:21PM item for hero killer, why not printed

	Sharpi @ Wed 14-03-07 05:57AM YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO USE SNIPER!!!!! why do you even bother writing a guide??

	craty @ Tue 27-02-07 11:17PM i play it like this: desolator busher sangajasha hyperstone

	irwanyzan @ Thu 15-02-07 02:53PM Cool method of using Kardel. Your item skill is so damn good. I won fighting my brother! Cool!

	Guest @ Mon 05-02-07 08:24PM Wow nice advice, buti think you should do like this 1. Scatter Shot( Since you have less mana so you must take the remaning scatter shot after lvl6 bacause in thatlvl you can already buy euls...) 2. Headshot 3. Take Aim 4. Head Shot 5. Take Aim 6. Assasinate 7. Scatter Shot 8. Head Shot until you lvl of scatter shot take the other skills.

	Raito @ Sun 04-02-07 09:01PM The way my sniper build is as a killer same time no coward thoughts is this manta style power threads monkey king bar butterfly / hyper stone (if your enemy has a lot of Mana) cranium basher (x2) that's all

	Jesus @ Fri 02-02-07 09:34PM hehehe aztig kaso wrong spelling ^_^ peace...

	Guest @ Mon 29-01-07 06:26PM The way my sniper is you want the range and the scatter shot is to only farm because during hero killing ur scatter isn't goin to do anything! so 1 lvl on scatter and max headshot and take aim and his ulti should be bloody abused to the max! 30 sec cool down is bloodly mad! if scared of running out should get a basilus first.

	lionel319 @ Tue 23-01-07 03:58PM reply toh han keong: u have your cyclones. :) use it to save urself.

	Toh Han Keong @ Tue 23-01-07 02:04PM a qop at lvl 6 can easily pawn sniper. blink in, poison+scream+wave. sniper can't tank those damage

	XZY @ Tue 16-01-07 11:49PM Nice dide

	divineR @ Tue 26-12-06 04:14PM wrong skill bult !!!! 1.TA 2.HS 3.+ 4.TA 5.+ 6.A 7.TA 8.+ 9.+ 10.+ 11.A 12-15.HS 16.A 19-21.+ 22-25.Ss

	sAtuRn @ Tue 26-12-06 08:46AM oh i forgot...then invest on butterfly...for the last slot...be imaginative(MKB!)

	sAtuRn @ Tue 26-12-06 08:44AM for kardel i use sange and yasha then skadi...buy plate mail then invest on 2 hyperstone

	Guest @ Sun 10-12-06 10:25AM thks for ur guide^^

	jiN @ Mon 04-12-06 08:33PM Here's my item list for kardel 1.Heart of Tarrasque (because of kardel's low HP) 2.Butterfly 3.Boots of Travel 4.Linken Sphere (for your SCATTER SHOT) 5.Buriza-do-Kyanon 6.Monkey King Bar ------ It's up to you how to use him. ------

	jiN @ Mon 04-12-06 08:24PM hey you're a bit out of your league to put an INT item for an AGI type like sniper. you should rather build up sniper as a killer. my advice is,take up (2)HEADSHOT/(2)STATS/(1)TAKE AIM/ASSASSINATE..All of you should take a look at Kardel's shot.It does not have any color. right? that's because you should use Kardel's range and pure damageto secretly damage your enemies.then get nearer if the enemies HP gets low or is YELLOW/ORANGE.ALways check the enemies HP.Then you should know what to do with your ASSASSINATE.

	Guest @ Mon 27-11-06 08:22AM I really liked the guide, thx.

	Strength Play @ Sun 26-11-06 02:55AM no need scatter shot la.just lothar skadi and kelen dagger

	Guest @ Sat 25-11-06 01:45AM manda mas foros px:)

	Guest @ Sat 18-11-06 11:19AM you should get head shot and take aim first. Screw the scatter shot, and you should get mask of madness, treads 2 wraith bands (untill you get something better) hyperstone and butterfly.

	Guest @ Tue 14-11-06 07:44AM If you don't like the guide then shut the f*ck up. No one wants to hear some whinny 16 yr old running his mouth.

	Guest @ Fri 03-11-06 06:50PM Why spam assasinate? The cooldown is not that fast and Sniper does not have a lot of mana. Furthermore, I'd rather had Skadi/Deso, Buriz, Lothar, BoT, Aegis + S&Y so that I just WW and backstab them. Assasinate should only be saved when the enemy hero is running away and is too fast bcos he can just hex/stun you. Then u waste 1 assasinate and a lot of mana.

	HAXOR @ Thu 02-11-06 08:57AM HEY U SUCK PENIS WID SNIPE!!!!! get range 1st at beggining

	jk97 @ Tue 31-10-06 10:28AM hey guys this website is a speacial website it has a way to play and a forum

	Guest @ Tue 31-10-06 06:27AM sniper pro u saying that skadi aint good id rather have him fucking slowed then him running away in 3 shots lol lothars are nice cuz hes gonna get the shit ganked outta him

	Van13 The Great @ Fri 27-10-06 07:43PM Items For Kardel This Is For Those Who Ask: Power Threads Satanic(to Keep you Alive) Butterfly Sange And Yasha(to create a good chaser) Hyperstone(To create a killing Machine) Eye Of Skadi(for Towers)

	Sniper_Pro)( @ Fri 27-10-06 07:39AM ImO your skill build is what screws it up early game, sniper is a frigile hero and with scattershot early your gonna be pushing into their tower when you should be hugging yours. Some of your items are all wrong too, one advantage of snipe is his imba attack animation, if you get skadi your element of 3 shot surprise is gone. Second MKB/bashers are not very good for snipe, he already has a mini stun and if your not gonna use an item to its full potential, dont get it.

	Guest @ Thu 26-10-06 10:52AM Idiot

	Nblufire2 @ Wed 25-10-06 04:45AM ok snpier os for noobs its not hard to know that u get range first and heastho first tehn ults after they gone u get the scattershot to defend and farm duh i always get treads, sny, and skadi. for running away i might get a lothars but sny and skadi is good okfag?

	Phantom Zero @ Fri 11-08-06 09:57PM u miss some shots because u are on the lower ground "or" the opponent has a/an item/skill that will make u miss e.g. butterfly/dark terror's skill (not very familliar w/ the name coz i dont use hime so much)

	Phantom Zero @ Thu 10-08-06 09:01PM I agree That scattershot is a waste of skill point in some games in DotA... Its Only Gud for Pushing And FArming or Simply... To Go Easy money to buy expensive items For me i Only Fill it in Lvl1 And the rest is stats and Take Aim in 1-6 then max out the passives in 7-11 and stats later so i only use i guess stats at lvl4 then rest of skill is passive and max scatt in late games I only max out scatt in early Games if I want to experiment Something (eg. using a chicken to kill a HERO!!!)

	Phantom Zero @ Thu 10-08-06 08:53PM I think your hybrid build wont do gud always coz stats at early game makes the sniper weak and specially on his starting range fo 550 u cant chase a fleeing hero I usually do at lvl 1-6 is 1: Scattershot 2: Stats 3: Stats (Range if not Avail.) 4: Stats 5: Stats 6: Assasinate I agree in using stats at early game to unleash His ultimates "Full Potential" but at least place take aim at least on lvl1 to compete for range heroes w/c ussually has a 600 range

	Guest @ Thu 10-08-06 07:27PM Please if your going to use him to kill heroes I suggest unsg take aim and head shot first, it allows you to harass your enemy hero from afar especially on 1on1(though Kardel is a supporter) my build for 1on1 is dagon 4 linken s&y yasha power treads mkb burize then skadi effective for pushing and killing heroes

	Guest @ Sat 29-07-06 06:43AM I am sorry, but I disagree with your build. Mastering scatter shot in the early game is completely useless. It will only waste your mana and ruins your usage of the ultimate (Assassin) when you need it. And for all the people here who played sniper before, you guys all know that scatter shot is very unstable, sometimes it might do a great deal of damage to the creeps and the enemy heroes, but sometimes it just do none. Also, sometimes after you use scatter shot, it will lower the enemy creeps to low HP, but your opponent can simply deny the low HP creeps and you get nothing after all. (I am not trying to say scatter shot is bad, it is definitely one of the best farming skills in the game, but that’s during the mid or late game when you have enough mana). Take Aim should be the first skill to master in the early game; it is the essential skill for sniper. This is the skill that will help you harass your enemies and being able to stay in the back the same time. Remember, sniper is extremely weak and slow in the early game, and people often want to get first blood off of him. So he needs to stay in the back and use the advantage of long range to take lead in the early game. (Especially to the melee heroes, just simply deny and hit him when he tries to get money by doing the last-hit). Also headshot is very important too, once you master this skill, you will have almost half of the chance doing 50 bonus damage to your opponent, plus the mini stun is really annoying and can at least give you the opportunity to hit the enemy again.

	SlayerXXX @ Sat 08-04-06 11:41AM It depends also in ur enemy... Of course kardel is one of the strongest and clever heroes but still there are heroes who can kill him. Ur items should also depends in your enemy.. In my opinion the items that u have suggested is worth "killing"

	SlayerXXX @ Sat 08-04-06 11:41AM It depends also in ur enemy... Of course kardel is one of the strongest and clever heroes but still there are heroes who cal kill him. Ur items should also depends in your enemy.. In my opinion the items that u have suggested is worth "killing"

	SanDPrinc3 @ Wed 05-04-06 10:21AM hi lionel.. i think your build rocks... but how about hyperstone dont u recommend it?

	FF_Dr@gon @ Mon 03-04-06 01:27PM What do u think about this build? Take headshot and take aim til lv4 (lv6 take assasinate) at early game, it will make your enemy heroes disturbed, why not take scater? It's wasting mana. For farming, you can use last hit to the low hp creep. About item, I suggest skadi, power treads, hyper stone, lothar, divine, and burize. It's 99% guaranteed.^_^

	Guest @ Wed 22-03-06 05:11AM u are noob

	Guest @ Wed 22-03-06 05:11AM u are noob

	relixus @ Fri 17-03-06 09:09PM i disagree with some of the guides.. this item would kill anyone - power threads-buriza-aegis-lothars-butterfly-soul booster... sniper is an agi type.. instead of buying yourself intel items for your mana ill go with soul booster.

	DeDKId @ Tue 14-03-06 04:14PM Nice guide!But why don't you use Aghanim's Scepter?(for faster cooldown) or a refresher orb for instant cooldown?

	REIKKO @ Thu 02-03-06 07:18PM the best item for kardel are powertreads+skadi+2 hyperstone+ butterfly+boots of travel (For kardel is a slow type hero) basher is useless becoz it will only lessen the chance of bash by 20% when long range characters are using it. if you wanted to be a hero killer pick take aim and hero shot... and at least a scattershot to farm.

	All_Star_Killer @ Fri 24-02-06 07:14PM help help

	All_Star_Killer @ Fri 24-02-06 07:11PM Who in Here IS Using Leviathan can somebody tell me whats the best equip for leviathan?

	newcomer @ Thu 16-02-06 04:28PM Thnx for the guide, now i can own ppl with my noob skills

	daphiel218 @ Tue 14-02-06 09:29PM no guys, lione;'s kardel build is the best among the rest, for me eye of skadi users on kardel are beginners, kardel's assassinate at level 3 has only 5 sec cooldown. So the point is, when ever u spotted a hero, use assassinate even his life is full, especially on low lifed heroes, 1 assassinate surely makes his life yellow, thus it will make him/her go back or still fight, then fire assassinate again, boom ! you dont have to worry about your mana bcoz of guinsoo. scatter shot is the BEST farming tool for kardel, it should be taken at level 1.

	Guest @ Thu 02-02-06 02:04AM i think only 2 bashers stack not 4

	Queen @ Mon 30-01-06 11:38PM It think it's bad guide. You needn't take scatershot. But you need take headshot & take Aim. You just need to buy powertreads, Eye of Skadi & 4 cranium basher. And you will be killer sniper I have good program for earning money. Sign up in www.coolaffiliate.blogspot.com

	bennylim @ Sat 28-01-06 03:27PM gong si fa chai!!loll

	All_Star_Killer @ Fri 27-01-06 08:45AM YUNERO SUCKS HES THE WEAKEST

	e10 @ Fri 27-01-06 08:45AM All_Star_Killer sucks

	All_Star_Killer @ Fri 27-01-06 08:43AM for me the best equipments for kardel is the Linken Sphere for regen and to help blocks spell and the butterfly,hyperstone and the buriza if you complete that im sure you will win 100% whoever your opponent is BECAUSE KARDEL ROCKS!!!!!

	All_Star_Killer @ Fri 27-01-06 08:42AM for me the best equipments for kardel is the Linken Sphere for regen and to help blocks spell and the butterfly,hyperstone and the buriza if you complete that im sure you will win 100% whoever your opponent is BECAUSE KARDEL ROCKS!!!!!

	All_Star_Killer @ Fri 27-01-06 08:39AM for me dwarven sniper is one of the best because of his extra ordinary long range he can shoot at the towers without the towers reaching him

	Guest @ Fri 20-01-06 01:44AM even so i woudlnt get S&Y with sniper seeing as how skadi already costs around 7k gold and by the time you get it it's already almost over so i would consider getting 2 bashers or lothars instead.

	lionel319 @ Thu 19-01-06 05:08PM Guest: Skadi is not considered Orb on range hero. And with Skadi and S&Y, you can still achieve the invisible bullets. There's a trick ;) when u have skadi and S&Y, drop both on the ground. Pick up S&Y first, then skadi. You will notice your bullet is invisible, but still have the slowing effect of skadi. Cool huh ? ;)

	Guest @ Thu 19-01-06 02:17AM Chezkulpak why would you get sane and yasha AND skadi for sniper when both of them are orb effects?

	bennylim @ Mon 16-01-06 03:46PM loll..really?

	Guest @ Sun 15-01-06 05:16PM Dwarven sniper is the best i killed 20 heroes in an hour

	bennylim @ Wed 11-01-06 08:01PM lol..okayss..

	lionel319 @ Sun 08-01-06 06:39PM reply guest: Yupe. I've seen people have 2 cranium basher build on him with a hyperstone :) reply bennylim: Read the guide :) If u read it, u will know what to buy, and how to play him :)

	bennylim @ Sat 07-01-06 12:52PM hyperstone??eagle horn?buriza...hmm...monkey king bar?? >.<

	bennylim @ Sat 07-01-06 12:48PM hey..can u teach me...wat to buy..the best for sniper??;)

	bennylim @ Sat 07-01-06 12:47PM lol..thx alot!!

	Guest @ Sat 07-01-06 04:01AM Can I make to him 2 Cranium Basier;

	lionel319 @ Fri 06-01-06 06:28PM reply bennylim: Yes. Hyperstone stacks. 1 hyperstone gives you 55%, 2 will be 110%. :)

	bennylim @ Fri 06-01-06 04:29PM and i wonder...why people dont like to use sniper??

	bennylim @ Fri 06-01-06 04:28PM yea..im new :D..shiper rocks man...bone clinkz suks..i olwyas killed by my friend bone clinkz..heyy cna i ask u all quest?? er..if u buy more than 1 hyper stone..does it hav any effect?or still the same??please tell me ;D

	Chezkulpak @ Tue 03-01-06 08:23AM Skadi rocks... Try this final item build: (Not in order) Skadi Hyperstone Hyperstone Hyperstone Butterfly Sange and Yasha Now, your Sniper rocks! =)

	Monstar05 @ Mon 02-01-06 02:24PM BEST HERO IN MY OPINION

	cent @ Sun 25-12-05 04:44PM tell me how to use the Death Prophet

	lionel319 @ Sat 24-12-05 09:42AM Guest: to create null, u need :- 1. Mantle of intelligent, 2. Circlet of Nobility 3. Scroll of Nujll Talisman

	Guest @ Thu 22-12-05 03:03PM wut is needed to make nul ??

	lionel319 @ Mon 19-12-05 06:36PM aol: You still have the edge. You can shoot him from afar. with your 770 range, his hp will be half gone before he can come into melee range on you. :)

	aol @ Tue 13-12-05 10:20AM i think the hardest hero to go 1v1 is the slitherin guard because of the bash and stomp and sprint and amplify damage. hehehhehehe....

	lionel319 @ Mon 12-12-05 09:13AM joywin: There's no such thing as BEST hero. Each hero has a counter to him :)

	joywin @ Thu 08-12-05 05:09PM which is the best hero

	lionel319 @ Thu 08-12-05 10:58AM Guest: At 770 range, you wouldn't be able to leech experience. We don;t want that to happen. :) That is why, if u wan, just get to level 3 "take aim". I can see that you build is a pure battle sniper build. It's very good against a team of no disable, due to the fact that u don't have any items for escaping bangs. Your hp is very low too, due to the fact that u never up your stats, at the same time non of your items gives boost to your stats. All of them are damage intensive.

	Guest @ Mon 05-12-05 05:27PM i would consider take aim a very important skill to have early game. at level 4 your range would be 770 with take aim. thats enough to shoot even ranged enemies from behind your creeps that is a great advantage in early game. along with headshot dealing extra damage from time to time its very great at harassing. as for items i would suggest monkey king bar + hyperstone + mask of madness + basher + threads + butterfly. the headshot stun + basher stun + monkey bar stun is so deadly that before enemies start hitting your , they are already at half hp cause of your fast attack speed and stuns

	WTF TFT SUX @ Sat 03-12-05 12:14PM How can this be, there are no fix versions yet.. make it fast, we are so indulge on this game and your not trying the bests in you... shame though, how about giving me $500 on my account =)

	achew @ Wed 30-11-05 10:41PM ddcat: Yupe. 5sec cooldown. :) Exactly !!! :)

	ddcat @ Wed 30-11-05 08:49PM at level 3 (almost instant cooldown), 2 assasinates will kill a bone clinkz with full hp. and you can do it from far away.

	lionel319 @ Wed 30-11-05 02:50PM mut: he IS indeed an Agility hero la :p

	mut @ Wed 30-11-05 02:48PM lionel319 : I will. But I prefer agility heroes for the time being.

	lionel319 @ Wed 30-11-05 02:36PM mut: If you hate it, other's will too. So why dun u try him ? :)

	mut @ Wed 30-11-05 02:32PM Damn shortie... hate his assasinate... :P
