Adaptiv[e] Strike

Level 4 - 120 + 2.6x Agility in damage or stuns the target 2.6 seconds and knocks back slightly.
Mana Cost: 100
Cooldown: 20
Adaptive strike, i am sad to say that you won’t be able to use the stun as my build focus all on agi. But the good thing is after you max it, you will see 400~500 dmg.
Morph
The Morphling edits his physical being to fit the circumstances. He can, at will, lose some strength and gain agility, or vice versa. The process is reversable.

Another skill which makes morphling so very unique. Morph his str into agi or agi back into str.This skill will be needed for you to play this build.
[R]eplicate
The Morphling has the unique ability to replicate any target friendly, enemy hero, or his own images. Although it only deals 50% damage, the hero can morph into his replication, instantly taking its position.
Level 1 - Lasts 30 seconds.
Level 2 - Lasts 45 seconds.
Level 3 - Lasts 60 seconds.
Mana Cost: 200
Cooldown: 120
Replicate, from the name you can tell it allow you to clone a hero, friend or foe.The good thing about this skill is that the replicate last for 1 mins and the clone will have passive of the hero clone.However we won’t eally be needing this.
Pros/Cons
Pros
1. Alot of stats to play around with
2. Can fit almost into any situtation
3. Adaptive strike gets more powerful as the game progress
4. Waveform does not lose it effectiveness
5. Very High Damage, High armour and Attack Speed
Unfortunately a hero this good will have a bad side
Cons
1. Low Movement speed (285)
2. Fragile
3. Mana MAY prove to be a problem
4. VERY item dependent, if you are facing a good opponent who denys you alot, it may screw your game up
Now we understand this hero better, How do you play him?

Ensure Str Points is 1 then add morph
Q:Why this skill build have no adaptive strike and replicate at early levels!?
A:Well… this is a all agi build, means that you will be converting ALL str points in AGi resulting in low health.Maxing out stats ensure that your hp will keep increasing EVEN if you convert and Stats also help increase Agi and Int.which increase mana, solving your mana problems.
Q:Replicate at last few levels? you kidding me?
A:This build is meant for taking down fast and quick. Unless you are very good with micromanaging, replicate shouldn’t be gotten. But, you can get it if you want to, changing a stat for a replicate if you think you need a passive spell or a ward (thank to remi for enlightening me)
Q:lvl 23 and lvl 24 have a dash.what does it means?
A:Dun add morph till you convert all Str to agi, or you MAY have str Points left over after morphing.
Q:What exactly does stats do?
A:Well i used to think that its for points to play around with. But now, i think stats are important. They increase MANA, something you truly really lack of. Agi and str point also help but mana really solve alot of problems.
Item build
Starting items
This starting gears should be able to help you and should provide you some help.
1.3 wraith bands <– This should be gotten after your first fountain trip.

Reason for items

2.Satanic : life steal, ability to heal while push reduce the amount of trip you have to go back fountain, useful.
3.S and Y : MS boost,which you lack of. Attack spd increase, decent str and agi boost, miam.
4.Butterfly : Stats boost, evasion and attack spd
5.Buriza : increase DPS
Q: Why 3 wraith early game?
A: it is to help to build up your foundation for later + your well needed mana for waveform.
Q: I see EoS in other people guide. Why not yours
A: I used to support EoS, but, it is really hard to farm up for. If you are confident in getting EoS then go aheda and get it.
Q: HoD???
A: Yes. I believe that HoD will be able to save your life alot of times. And will work quite well against those DPS heros who take you on. It also save on your fountain trips and you can regen back your health by visiting the NC.
Well Thats about it
Now about how to play
Strategy
Early game
IF you pick or Random Morphling, -ma to see any easy target. Look out for nukers and disablers too. Nukers and disablers are a hazard to you. If not, start of with the early game items. Get a lane (Don’t solo unless you are able to.) And my advice to you is, DUN GET KILLED.
DUN GET KILLED!!!!
. your puny health and mana capacity would make you a VERY VERY VERY VERY easy target. Nukers will rip you to shreads while disablers will… disable you. Basically i prefer the wave, hit and run method. You basically wave behind the person and hit him, afterward you run. You may think it is a dumb idea but basically that how it works. if he is on low health then you can just finish him off. If you can catch up with him. Get your 3 wraith and you should be a few inches above the danger line.
Mid game
This is the part where Ganging starts to occur, and where you start to shine. You basically continue on with wad you are doing from lvl 8 to lvl 12. harassing and killing enemies. Aim for last hits and deny. The only difference is you have a HoD now (or not, depending). You may now think , Why the heck did i get this item???. All that will change after you get morph. You morph your str to agi. leaving behind 900+ health. You can choose to go for 1000+ health or lesser than 900 if you are those daredevil types. Basically get your S and Y asap or you wont even be able to catch up with your teammate. 335 ms with BoS… pathetic..
Late game
In my last guide i didn’t emphasize alot on late game. Well, late game is the danger zone. Ganging become often, 5 man push is also frequent. basically chaos is everywhere. You now play a crucial role as the dmg dealers and chasers. You survive physical attack. spell is the only danger to you. Stun and ganging is worse. You maybe needed alot, depending on if you play well or not. if you keep getting killed, morph some points to str. Adaptive strike should be at it maximum potential. replicate should now be dealing some damage and tanker hero should have enough health for it to be worth it to replicate. This strategy cannot turn you from a noob to a pro but thats is basically what you should do with Morphling
Now time for your allies.
Allies
The heros i feel are good with you are,
Zeus. He’s able to take down most of the opponent health in early game with his spells. remember that leveling and getting stats is one of your most top priority. And he kinda make people focus all their defence on spells. leaving you a big advantage with damage.
Drow ranger. Turns disablers and spell nukers into food. Cold arrow also slow down so you can catch up with your pathetic MS and do some serious DMG.
ES. He stuns and do major dmg with his spell. a very good ally to have.
Nevermore. With his aura and your dmg… Ouch!
AM. He takes care of mana while you take care of health.His blink is useful. Int heros beware.
Bane elemental. A full time disabler, but his nightmare is quite troublesome tho. nevertheless, a good ally.
With Great Allies, comes with Enemies
Worst Enemies
Stunners - They may be your good allies but on the other team it a different story
Disabler - Same as stunner, you have have a Slow MS, you wouldn’t want to be purge or slow down, would you?
Waveform tactics
Waveform is such a great skill. like i have mention above, its a blink+nuke+aoe and definitely is a geat skill. I will teach you how to use it to its maximum potential.
Waveforming behind your enemies. This is the basics of waveform. You waveform behind the enemy to deal him dmg, forcing him to run into your creep wave or to engage you. it can also be use as a harass and waveform also eliminates the enemies creep wave, useful for chasing and killing, initiating.
Pudge has blind hook, we have blind waveform. Like what pudge players do, they try to visualise the enemy hero. what we do not need to visualise is the enemy creeps. whereas a pudge player needs to. Its better to underestimate rather than Over estimate as morphling tends to move until he can waveform to the point you click. thus sometimes you may not be able to do it as his ms is slow. Also, morphling waveform has a small aoe of 250. So the animation might look like it did not hit but it will still do dmg if the person is in the aoe. You can also use it on invisible hero. Did it once on twice on riki, killing him. Although the other team did call me a maphacker.
You can also use your waveform to escape. You can just wave up a cliff. The trick here is to waveform smartly. Waveform to where the hero has to take a big round before reaching you. thus you will be able to escape. Sometimes just waveforming straight towards your base may work. make sure thayt your teammate is near to support you tho.
Conclusion
We have come to the end of my guide, Hope that it will prove to be useful and Morphling if played properly, Will OWN!!!! I will update my guide whenever i can so good luck, have fun and thanks for reading

New Dota Hero Kunkka Captain Coco Admiral Proudmoore in Dota 6.55
The coolest skill is his ultimate, using a ghostship to hit the enemies and gives buff to the allies. His first skills is make a water blown from the ground and damage the enemies. His second skill gives you bonus damage and splash every few hits. His third skill is mark the spot,marks a hero and leaves an X in its area, after 5 seconds the targetted hero moves back to the X mark.
Here is more explanation about his skills:
Torrent Using his unparalleled knowledge of the sea, Kunkka is able to summon a blast of water at a targeted area. After 2 seconds a fierce torrent of water errupts from the ground, the stream blasting enemies caught in the AoE into the sky, dealing damage and slowing movement speed by 30%.
Cooldown: 12
Manacost: 105
This skill pretty cool, gives 120/180/240/300 damage and the torrent last for 2/3/4/5 seconds.
TideBringerKunkka's legendary sword Tidebringer is infused with the very power of the sea. Akin to the ebb and flow, Tidebringer passively grants the hero increased damage and 500 AoE cleave for a single strike every once a while.
This skill is just like Leviathan's Anchor Smash and Weaver double damage combined. Gives 15/30/45/60 bonus damage every 16/12/8/4 seconds. Great for last hitting.
X Marks the SpotIn order to make an assembly for his troops, Admiral Proudmoore targets a hero and marks its current position on the ground. After a few seconds, the hero will instantly return to the mark.
Cooldown: 60/50/40/30
Manacost: 110
Marks a hero and leaves an X in its area, after a 2/3/4/5 seconds the targetted hero moves back to the X mark with 500/650/800/950 cast range. Use this to make the blinker enemy cannot escape.
Ghost Ship (ultimate)The admiral summons the mythical ghost ship S.S. CoCo to the battlefield. Allies are doused in Captain CoCo's Rum, inebriating them for 30% bonus movespeed and numbness to incoming damage, causing them to feel only half of the pain now and half after the Rum wears off. Enemies, pirates and scurvy knaves are dashed on the rocks for damage and a brief stun when the ship crashes.
Cooldown: 100/80/60
Manacost: 150
Great skills to initiate battle and even for chasing enemies. It gives 300/400/500 crash damages and the CoCo's Rum last 5/6/7 seconds.
Torrent, pick a place, wait for 2 seconds and KABOOOM! A blast of water coming out from the ground and throw everything to the air :p
Tidebringer, great splash damage. Look at the range, even the ranged creeps get hit too! Neat skill for farming.
Ghost Ship, this ship will help you initiate battle. You feel like fighting on Pirates of Caribbean with this skill.
X Mark the Spot. Mark your target, after several seconds he will get back to the X mark. Imagine you do this to a hero that using Town Portal, after several seconds i bet he will back and say WTF?!!!
New Dota Hero Alleria Windrunner in Dota 6.55
These are her skills.
ShackleshotAlleria fires an enchanted arrow using wind magic that binds the target to an enemy unit or tree behind it.
Cooldown: 14
Manacost: 90/100/110/120
Always knocks back the target. If the target hits a group of units or a tree, the struck units (including the target) are stunned for 1.4/2.1/2.8/3.5 seconds. (700 unit cast distance)
Power ShotWindrunner winds up her bow for up to 1 second to perform a single powerful shot. The arrow travels 1700 distance, dealing damage and destroying trees in its path. The damaged dealt is greatest to the first target of it hits and is reduced by 10% with each other it passes through.
Cooldown: 12
Manacost: 90/100/110/120
Deals 120/200/280/360 damage to all enemies in straight line. The arrow has vision and knocks down trees in the process.
Windrunner Imbues her body with the essence of wind, increasing her movement speed by 50% and giving her the ability to evade all physical attacks for short period of time. Additionally, the gusts of wind around her impairs the movement of nearby enemies, slowing their movement speed in a 300 AoE around her.
Cooldown: 65/50/35/20
Manacost: 100
Say goodbye to this Imba cyclone skill, now it only gives you 50% ms increase, and 100% evasion for 2.75/3.5/4.25/5 seconds and 8/16/24/30 % slow.
Focus Fire (ultimate)Alleria channels wind throughout her body to surge an excess of adrenaline, giving her maximum attack speed on one target for 10 attacks. Damage is reduced in this state.
Cooldown: 60
Manacost: 200/300/400
Now, her ultimate has been nerfed. No longer IMBA flying unit. Now it seems to give max attack speed for 10 attacks as long as your attacking the target. Your damage get reduced on 50/40/30 % while using this skill.
She is very good at chasing and ganking. Shackle Shot and Power Shot make for great chasing abilities. Power Shot can be used to create shortcuts through trees to catch up with your target.A properly aimed Shackle Shot (to ensure the enemy hits other units or trees and gets stunned) is necessary to make full use of this skill. Windrunner makes you easily catch up with fleeing enemies. Her ultimate aim you to be a damage dealer. All in all, a fun hero. A bit lacking in damage, but makes up for it with interesting abilities. Thanks to redrach and Mr.Jag for this complete analysis of Alleria.
Power Shot! It's damages whatever it's through. It's also cut the trees. After the update, there's short delay before the arrow released.
Shackle Shot, it will 'link' two units together and stun them both, hence, shackles. It wont stun nearly as long if there is no unit near by..This is the old ultimate when she first released on the Beta version, and now it's being nerfed and changed. Say goodbye to these awesome picture below T_T I decide to not delete these picture because i like it very much, even if now it already replaced.. I repeat, this skill is no longer exist on official version.
Alleria skills, Windrunner. Look her before using it.
Alleria skills, Windrunner. After using her ulti's. Watch the sudden increase of your sight.
When you turn into Cyclone, you can still use your skill. You can hide into the tree and surprise your enemies.
I rather surprised seeing this. When you turn into cyclone, your normal attack is still working despite your invisible attack projectile. In this picture i use Helm of Dominator to make my attack visible.This skill also changed and no longer exist.
Fight in the ShadeEach unit in the target AoE loses 15/20/25/30% of its maximum health after 1 second. (600 unit cast distance)

mana pool. Duration of the buff is 5/6/7/8

Captains Mode:
--------------
Blue and Pink are the team captains. A random side starts the process(you
can customize this, see below)
Ban Time: 40
Pick Time: 60
Extra Time: 45
You start by alternating 1/1/1 in the ban phase. Each captain removes up to
4 heroes. Running out of time does not result in a random hero ban.
After that you enter the 1/2/2/ pick phase. Each captain picks the heroes
his team will use.
If at any time you run out of time, you start to use up your extra time. If
you run out and you are in pick phase, you get a random hero.
Creeps spawn 90 seconds after the pick draft phase is over. Right after the
hero pick phase ends, the 5 heroes for your team are presented with a
checkmark on them (RD style) allowing players on your team to pick which one
they want to be.
The captain that starts this process is random. If you want to give the
starting to Sentinel, type -cm 1 or -cm 2 for Scourge after the game mode is
entered.
The picks, bans, timers, etc are all presented in a board for easy viewing
by team mates and observers.
How to play Kael the Invoker
Kael the Invoker Who is Invoker? Invoker is a very unique DotA hero. Instead of the 3 skills - 1 ultimate - stats scheme, Invoker has 3 skills, 1 ultimate, 10 invoke skills, and no stats. Due to his versatility, Invoker can take almost any role needed by the team. The gameplay of this hero is unique and advanced so I would not recommend this to newbies. Forcing to do such will take you to the feeder slot. You have been warned! What are his three skills and ultimate? Each reagent gives a certain bonus when active. You can have up to 3 reagents at a given time. These reagents can be leveled up to level 7. His ultimate can be leveled up to level 4. QUOTE: Quas  Gives you 0.75 HP regen per ORB per second PER rank QUOTE: Wex  Gives you 2% increased attack speed and 1% increased movespeed per ORB PER RANK QUOTE: Exort  Gives you +3 damage PER ORB PER RANK QUOTE: Invoke  Combines the properties of the elements currently being manipulated, creating a new spell at Invokers disposal. The invoked spell is determined by the combination of Quas, Wex and Exort. Level 1 - 1 Invoke Level 2 - 2 Invokes Level 3 - 2 Invokes Level 4 - 2 Invokes Cooldown: 30 / 30 / 15 / 5 Manacost: 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 What are his ten invoke skills? The invoke skills can be acquired through any combination of his reagents. An invoke skill will be generated when three reagents are active and the Invoke skill is clicked. As of 6.50b, the order in which the reagents are selected doesn't matter. This means that Quas Quas Wex (QQW) and Wex Quas Quas (WQQ) will result to Ghost Walk when invoked. QUOTE: Cold Snap (QQQ) - [ Y ]  Invoker draws the heat from an enemy, chilling them to their very core for up to 6 seconds based on Quas. Any damage taken in this state will briefly stun them for 0.4 seconds and deal 30 damage. Triggers cooldown goes from 0.8 to 0.6 seconds based on Quas Cooldown: 20 Manacost: 100  QUOTE: Ghost Walk (QQW) - [ V ]  Invoker manipulated the ice and electrical energies around him, rendering his body invisible. The elemental imbalance created as a consequence slows nearby enemies by up to 40% based on Quas, and Invoker from 30% to 0& based on Wex. Cooldown: 60 Manacost: 300  QUOTE: Ice Wall (QQE) - [ G ]  Generates a wall of solid ice directly in front of Invoker for up to 10 seconds. The bitter cold emanating from it greatly slows nearby enemies based on Quas and deals up to 30 damage each second based on Exort. Cooldown: 20 Manacost: 125  QUOTE: Alacrity (WWW) - [ Z ]  Invoker infuses an ally with an immense surge of energy, increasing their attack speed to a maximum of 160% based on Wex for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 20 Manacost: 125  QUOTE: Tornado (WWQ) - [ X ]  Unleashes a fast moving tornado that picks up enemy units in its path, suspending them helplessly in the air shortly before allowing them to plummet to their doom. Deals 375 damage based on Wex and Quas, with distance up to 3100 based on Wex. Holds enemies in the air for up to 2.2 seconds based on Quas. Cooldown: 20 Manacost: 125  QUOTE: EMP (WWE) - [ C ]  Invoker builds up a charge of electromagnetic energy at a targeted location which automatically detonates after 2-4 seconds based on Wex. The detonation covers a 700 area, dealing up to 300 dmaage based on Exort and draining up to 400 mana based on Wex. Cooldown: 40 Manacost: 250  QUOTE: Sunstrike (EEE) - [ T ]  Sends a catastrophic ray of fiery energy from the sun at any targeted location after a 1.7 second delay, incinerating all enemies standing beneath it. Deals 75-450 damage based on Exort which is spread over all enemy units within its 200 AoE. Cooldown: 60 Manacost: 250  This is a GLOBAL SKILL! It is capable of hitting anything on the map if used properly. This skill also gives vision. QUOTE: Forge Spirit (EEQ) - [ F ]  Invoker forges a spirit embodying the strength of fire and fortitude of ice. Attack range, damage, and life is based on Exort while mana, duration, and armor is based on Quas. The elementals scorching attack is capable of melting the armor on enemy heroes by 1 each hit to a maximum of 10 for 5 seconds. By maxing Quas and Exort, Invoker is capable of creating 2 spirits instead of one. Cooldown: 70 Manacost: 200  QUOTE: Chaos Meteor (EEW) - [ D ]  Invoker pulls a flaming meteor from space onto the targeted location. Upon landing, the meteor rolls forward dealing up to 260 damage per sec based on Exort for up to 1550 range based on Wex. Deal minor residual damage to units that get hit. Cooldown: 30 Manacost: 200  QUOTE: Defeaning Blast (QWE) - [ B ]  Invoker unleashes a mighty sonic wave in front of him, dealing up to 280 damage to any enemy unit it collides with based on Exort. The sheer impact from the blast is enough to knock those enemy units back for a maximum of 1.75 seconds based on Quas, in addition to preventing their attacks for a further 1-4 seconds based on Wex. Cooldown: 25 Manacost: 200   |
