This strategy requires Shadow Demon, Dazzle and Nature's Prophet
Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game in which two teams of five players compete to destroy a large structure defended by the opposing team known as the "Ancient" whilst defending their own. As in Defense of the Ancients, the game is controlled using standard real-time strategy controls, and is presented on a single map in a three-dimensional isometric perspective. Ten players each control one of the game's 124 playable characters, known as "heroes", with each having their own design, strengths, and weaknesses. Heroes are divided into two primary roles, known as the core and support.

Incoming small patch : Nature's Prophet Teleportation will now not be able to ground target the fountain spawn area. This also applies to Io relocating to enemy fountain, Techies putting down Land Mines and CM -1 armor.

Shadow Demon casts DISSEMINATE: "Whenever the target takes damage, all enemies, including the target itself if it is an enemy, within 675.0 range of the target also receive a portion of that damage. Can target enemy and allied units. " (kinda like Spectre passive). Dazzle casts Shallow Grave (invulnerability for X seconds). Nature Prophet tp's to their base. Enemy fountain damages Nature Prophet (can't die tho cause dazzle). Shared damage (disseminate) kills the enemy team. Ez clap

[@Ukulisti]

Demon man makes the teleporting man radiate damage he takes to enemies around him => The opponent's base tower hits the teleporting man, causing damage to the opponents inside their base. The pink man makes the teleporting man unable to die for a short time, so he has time to radiate the damage.

[@QWERTY-gp8fd]

the shadow demon 2nd ability caused area of damage to the enemies whenever the target is attacked. this is what caused enemies to die. the dazzle 2nd ability prevents the target from dying. this is what caused nature prophet to survive long enough to get rampage. the nature prophet 2nd ability allow him teleport to any location in the map. used this skill to teleport to enemy base. each base has fountain unit that automatically attacks enemy units dealing high damage.

[@Sombreon]

Dazzles Shallow Grave buff keeps his ally alive from death for 3 seconds. No matter how much damage they are taking, it sets it to 1 hp every time. Shadow Demon's Disseminate on ally makes it so whoever hits that hero, 20% of that damage is shared to whoever is nearby. Since the Foutain hits hard, 20% of fountain damage is being applied to all the other heros. And since Grave buff is active, Nature Prophet cannot die but its still doing damage even though he's at 1 hp already.

[@FreakyShirley]

I’m dota1 player, what is the second skill of the shadow demon? Anyone can tell?

[@BFHKevin]

Use the wiki my son.

[@Phronesis1037]

When used on an ally it works like a dispersion with a greater effect any damage taken by that ally also applies to enemies in a small aoe, 400-500, it doesn't block the damage as in the case of spec though. Secondly when it's used on an enemy, any damage taken by that enemy will also partially be reflected on his allies in an aoe of 400 or something like that.

Sounds cool, but what does a rampage really do for an SD? I guess you can play him mid and give him a head start, but most often than not he will be a pos 5.

[@Ex0rz]

You are really asking what does a lvl 1 rampage and instant lvl 2 do? Gaining over 1k gold and lvl 2 is HUGE and the enemies cant do anything on lane against SD after that. You can purchase arcane boots and just spam your poison and the enemies cant do anything. Another option is to simply buy 2 bracers and gain 190 hp plus 10 damage and just right click the hell out of the enemies while spamming poison. Plus the 250 assist gold...
