Here is the suggested skill build:

C. Skill Build

1. Geostrike
2. EarthBind
3. EarthBind
4. Poof
5. EarthBind
6. Devided We Stand
7. EarthBind
8. Attribute Bonus / Poof / Geostrike
9. Attribute Bonus / Poof / Geostrike
10. Geostrike
11. Devided We Stand
12. Attribute Bonus / Poof / Geostrike
13. Attribute Bonus / Poof / Geostrike
14. Attribute Bonus / Poof / Geostrike
15. Attribute Bonus / Poof / Geostrike
16. Devided We Stand
17 - 25. Attribute Bonus / Poof / Geostrike

Brief explanation to skill builds:

1. Geostrike is for the bonus 15 damage. It really helps in getting last hit. The reason i only level it for 1 level is because I seldom use the slow anymore after i got better with EarthBind The slow is no longer needed. But if u are not confident with your EarthBind or if u are still new, i would suggest that you at least get Geostrike up to level 3 at least, so that your prey won't be able to get away easily, and at the same time, increase your accuracy in netting with EarthBind where u are hero hunting.

2. EarthBind is maxed ASAP for it's range. with 1250range, u will be able to net unaware enemies with easy, while allowing the rest of your clones to continue netting the enemy, and catch up to the enemy and land your hits.

3. Poof is taken at level 4, right before u get your 1st clone at level 6. 1 level is enough just for the teleportation. When u have 3 clones or more, u can start maxing this skill, for some killing, as well as farming/pushing. More will be discussed later.

4. Devided We Stand , taken whenever possible, shouldn't be any question on this.

C. Item Build

Recommended Item Build:

Starting items:
1 ring of regen + 2 iron wood branch

1. Mekasm
2. Valdmir's Offering

Late Game Items:-
1. Power Threads
2. Reaver / Orge Axe

3. Reaver / Orge Axe

4. Reaver / Orge Axe

5. Assault Cuirass (if non of your teammates have it)

Brief explanation to item builds:

1. You start with a ring of regen + 2 branches, to help you stay on lane.

2. your next most important item will be a Mast Of Death. The reason for this is because with it, you will be able to farm neutral longer without having to go back to heal.

3. Once u have your CORE items (Mekasm + Valdmir), you can farm neutrals without having to go back anymore.

D1. Skill Analysis

1. Control.

First of all, let me go thru how i control my meepos with the Ctrl key. I would always keep the meepo which i am controlling at CTRL+1, while the rest at CTRL+2. That's it. I only keep 2 groups of meepos, nothing more than that.

Let's say, i am sending 2 meepos to farm neutral, and another one to stay at the lane and farm, I will group the 2 that is going to farm neutrals as CTRL+2, while the one in lane will be CTRL+1. With this in mind, most of the time, i will be concentrating on CTRL+1, while CTRL+2 will be only used to attack on neutral camps.

But, when i wanna go hero hunting, or when I'm being attacked, i will quickly group ALL meepos in CTRL+1. By doing this, it grants be easier access to all the meepos.

Well, that's just my choice. If you have a better one, feel free to stick with it. :)

2. EarthBind / Hero Killing.

Here's the part for Hero Killing. With 1250range, you can easily throw your net even before the enemy can notice your existance. I would suggest you start doing this only if u have at least 3 meepos (level 11). If u don't have the confidence, then it's better to wait till u are level 16 and have 4 meepos.

1. 1st, keep all your meepos under CTRL+1, and then take a DEEEEEP breath.

2. Find a good timing, then command all your meepos and right click (attack) on the enemy hero.
3. While your meepos are approaching the enemy, quickly click "E", and click on the enemy hero for the net. You should be able to do this before the enemy can even notice your existance.
4. Now, click TAB. This will focus on the spell on your next meepo, while still maintaing control on all your meepos.
5. Click "E", and aim at the enemy hero again. *Spliack*, you enemy is being netted again.
6. Continue on step 4 -> 6 until enemy is dead.

Most of the time when i threw my 2nd net, my meepos would have already caught up with the enemy and landed my 1st hit. If u have Geostrike level3 and above, you wouldn't have any problem catching up with the enemy even without throwing any nets, as the enemy will be moving like a snail by then.

3. Poof / Hero Killing / Creep Clearing.

Poof is good for clearing creeps fast. There are many usage of poof. Let's go thru 1 by 1.

Clearing Creeps
1. Put all your meepos in CTRL+1.

2. Click "F", click on the meepos which is surrounded by enemy creeps (yes, it is possible for the meepo to click poof on itself)

3. click TAB, this will focus spell on your next meepo.

4. continue on step 2->4 until all meepos are poofed.

Hero Killing
I do not encourage you to use WindWalk+Poof to kill heroes while I really don't like the idea of wasting 3000+ gold just to get a item which doesn't benefit meepo much. But if under any circumstances you managed to get an "Invi" rune, or u managed to get yourself invisibled by spells (Treant / Miranda), do not hesitate to use this to create havoc on the enemy team.

Some times, when u are farming alone in the neutrals, or when you are a single meepo farming on a lane, and the enemy sees that there's only 1 meepo farming on a lane, and think that u are an easy prey to them, and wanted come up and kill you, DO NOT PANIC. DO NOT RUN AWAY. This is what you should do.

1. I believe most of the time when u are being caught, u will still have 2 CTRL groups. For this case, we will have to go thru group1 and group2 for all the poof.
2. Click "1" to select all the meepos in group 1.
3. Click "F", then click on the meepo which is with the enemy hero (U can use the minimap and click on it. It's faster by doing that instead of using the Actual screen)
4. click TAB. This will focus spell on your next meepo.

5. Continue on with step 3->5 untill all the meepos in this group has used the poof skills.
6. Click on the wonded meepo, and run him back to base.

7. Now click on the 2nd group of meepos, and do the same thing.

8. Now, if the enemy is still alive, proceed on with the EarthBind/Hero Killing procedure.

4. Overall View.

Now that you've learnt the EarthBind & Poof method, there're still some tips for you that might help.

1. Do not forget that you still have a Mekasm with you. When one of your meepos are in red, quickly press F1 and then click at the Mekasm.

2. When engaging your enemies, always keep an eye on the 4 meepo hero icons on the top left of your screen. The top most meepo being F1, follow on by F2, F3 and the last one being F4. When u see any meepo are being targetted, for instance, the 3rd meepo on the top left screen is being attack, quickly click "F3" and pull him back.

D2. Walkthrough by game stages:

D2a. Early game:

The way i play meepo is to out level the enemies ASAP. The most groups i have at any one time will be not more than 2 groups, where 1 group farming at the neutrals, while the other, on his lane. This can be achieved once u have your 1st clone at level 6.

1. Make the meepo on your lane as CTRL+1. (i prefer to choose the clone as this one, as most of the time, i will be focusing on it, thus, i can make sure that it doesn't get hurt/die so easily)

2. Make the other meepo that farm the neutral as CTRL+2. (which most of the time for me, will be the REAL meepo.)

3. The reason I send the REAL meepo to farm neutrals is because he is the only one which can carry the ring of regen and the Mask Of Death on early stage, thus, he won't need much attention from u. All u need to do is just to click at him, and order him to auto attack the neiutrals. He will be able to regen by himself thru his ring + Mask.

4. At anytime if ur meepo is heavily wounded, don't be hesitate to send him back to the fountain.

D2b. Mid game:

Mid game is where u have 2 clones (Level 11).

At this stage of game, I personally would still like to farm hard, unless the opportunity of killing a hero arrises.

Around level 12-13, Usually, i would have gotten my Valdmir's Offering + a Headdress Of Rejuvination. With this 2 items, I would put the REAL meepo + a clone(CTRL+2) to farm the neutrals, while another clone farming on his own lane(CTRL+1).

At this stage, you can easily go for the Ancient Creep Camp if u like to farm. You shouldn't have any big problem leveling up faster than your enemy if everything goes well.

D2c. Late game:

Late game starts when u read level 16, while the rest of the people are still at level 12 or 13.

This is the time where u have 4 meepos, and your CORE items are all readily available (Valdmir's Offering + Mekasm).

Go solo Roshan. YES. you heard me. SOLO roshan. All 4 meepos should be there. Attack roshan, and don't forget to pull back the one which is being attacked. When all the meepos are equally wounded, click your Mekasm.

Collect your Aegis, and now, go farm in the ENEMY's neutral camp, and start hunting for enemy heroes ..... help in ganks ...... and kill kill kill.

If no opportunities arrises, send 3 meepos (1 REAL + 2 clones) to farm the Ancient, while the other clone farm on your lane.

E. Conclusion

Meepo is all about out leveling the rest. Do not feel discouraged if u still can't get it right the first few times, be it on the outleveling part, or with the netting skill, or with the Multi-tasking skill. Practice makes perfect. Play it more, and sooner or later, u will get the hang of it, and u will definitely like him :)
