So you just randomed Shadow Shaman and you've only got sixty seconds to learn how to play Shadow Shaman. What will you do? Never fear: this is DOTA in :60.
Shadow Shaman is support. Help the others to win. Buy tangos. Deny creeps. That sort of thing.
Never go 1v1, you will get owned. Only attack an enemy if he or she is... bleeding from the head.
Shadow Shaman has four magical powers.
Zappy!
Zappy!
Zappy!
Zappy!
Chicken!
That's right, he turns bad men into chickens. Start with one level of chicken in case you have to beat someone to the first rune. After all, chickens are slow.
Then, max the zappy.
Oh, here, let me hold that for you. What's up!
And now for the big ulti. Enfuengo! Eight snakes at your beck and call -- perfect for defending or demolishing a tower.
With zappy you obliterate the creeps, with chicken you escape a 1v1, with hold you -- well -- hold things, and with snakes you destroy worlds.
So what about items?
He's slow as dirt, so get some boots.
He's intelligent, so get some smarts.
Arcane Boots and Aghanim's Scepter are most popular, but if you want my advice, focus on Blood Stone and Refresher Orb.
Blood Stone's 200% mana reg is the perfect gift for the man who loves chicken. And why Refresher Orb? Because you know what's better than eight snakes?
SIXTEEN SNAKES!
What's uuuuuppppp!
Thank you for watching this video, good luck with your match, buy some branches and the courier!
