At low levels, the enemy won’t live long enough to destroy the Tombstone. Under a certain health threshold, Undying’s zombies gain a huge attack speed buff. Tombstone is the nail in the coffin for many a lane, causing surprising amounts of damage to low-health heroes.Few offlaners can shut down a lane as hard as a stacked out Undying. Not to worry, level Decay as much as possible and you’ll be diving the tower with ease. You might be at no risk of dying, but shutting down a carry becomes difficult.

Decay - sometimes, you just really need to dominate a lane.

There are not many heroes with this kind of Int gain, and the enemy will wonder how you’re casting all these spells.

Given a few levels, and he will not only have an impressive pool of health but also of mana, especially for a Strength hero.

However, he is only so mana-dependent because of how darn good his spells are. One or two of the following are essential: Soul ring, Basilius, or Arcane Boots.

This hero, with some of the worst Agility in the game, has great Strength and Int gain.

Just make sure not to get nuked down! Play smart, as you would any other hero, and you might be surprised to see how quickly your enemy’s health bar disappears. The longer his opponents stay locked in battle with him, the more the power gap between them grows. The Almighty Dirge, also known as Undying, is a monster in the offlane, a zombie that eats his opponent’s muscles rather than their brains. This kind of utility is perfect for an offlaner.

Once Slardar hits level 6, there are few heroes that can escape his Corrosive Haze ultimate, which adds invaluable vision and damage amp for his entire team.

It also slows enemy attack speed, which makes up for his relatively low base armor.

One of the best CC nukes in the game, Slithereen Crush both stuns and slows all of Slardar’s enemies within a decent range, allowing him to last hit, combo multiple enemies, and escape all with one button.

Slardar’s low base movement speed is negated by Guardian Sprint, which adds 20% mobility and phase at level 1, meaning he can mix it up in the creep wave and duck out into the trees when he sees trouble.

His stun has a lower cooldown than most supports in the game this can be abused to get early kills when underestimated.

All of Slardar’s abilities have an insanely low cooldown, allowing him to trade blows with most heroes at any level.

Depending on your team’s needs, consider skipping Blink Dagger in favor of tanky items like Scepter and Assault Cuirass. When played as a front-liner, Slardar can be a huge boon for his team, tanking damage and kiting the enemy while providing constant vision with his ultimate. Historically a safe-lane carry, Slardar the Slithereen Guard has reemerged in the scene as a beastly offlaner, mostly thanks to the buffs to his Guardian Sprint and his Aghanim's Scepter upgrade. Below are the top ten offlane heroes in DotA 2. Played correctly, these offlaners can seize a gold and experience advantage over the opponent that allows them to crush the mid game and beyond. Heroes with tanking or mobility spells are most often chosen for this role in order to stay alive as long as possible. Often laning one-against-three, the offlaner is responsible for getting as much gold and experience as possible without feeding the enemy carry.
