Dota 2 Hero Review : Wraith King by Riza Fatansyah | Dota 2 #3

Wraith King is a melee hero, can be played as a role of carry and tank. The Wraith King's Ultimate Skill arises after its death, as Aegis of the Wraith King Immortal tool is very difficult to build. If left alive, Wraith King is very rich and ready to kill all his enemies. Wraithfire Blast skill can make a stun for 2 seconds or more, Aura Vampiric Skill for him and increasingly when attacking the opponent, Strikenya Mortal Skill is very much critical and can issue a zombie.

Biography

For untold years, King Ostarion built a kingdom from the remains of his enemies. It was an obsessive's errand, done to pass the long eternities of a monarchy that seemed fated never to end. He believed that as long as he built up the towers of his palace, he could not die. But eventually he learned that he had been deluded... that bone itself could perish. Deeply mistrustful of flesh, he sought a more permanent way of extending his reign, and at last settled on pursuit of wraith energy, a form of pure spirit given off by certain dark souls at death. Should he infuse himself with Wraith Essence, he thought he might create a body as luminous and eternal as his ego. On the millennial solstice known as Wraith-Night, he submitted to a rite of transformation, compelling his subjects to harvest enough souls to fuel his ambition for immortality. No one knows how many of his champions died, for the only survivor who mattered was the Wraith King who rose with the sun on the following morn. Now he rarely spends a moment on his glowing throne--but strides out with sword drawn, demanding a fealty that extends far beyond death.

Talent Tree

The above Talent Tree is very useful for you to play on Lane.

Last Item

• Blink Dagger : Solves another Wraith King's deficiency: mobility. It negates countering through kiting, helps with positioning, as well as moving across the maps quicker, thus increasing farm speed. Another possible trick is to instantly blink away after using Reincarnation, as Reincarnation delay and Dagger cooldown are both 3 seconds. 
• Boots of Travel : Increasing the speed of movement and very important when the team  is in a war position, Wraith King can come help with using teleport.
• Silver Edge : Reduces the cooldown of using Shadow Walk by 4 seconds and adds a break effect as well as damage reduction effect upon attacking an enemy while Shadow Walking. 
• Daedalus : Grants each attack a 30% change to deal 235% damage.
• Mjollnir : Increases attack speed and damage output. The item should be considered if Wraith King is counter picked by illusions, damage-over-time and slows, as the Chain Lightning and Static Shield are more likely to trigger against them. The item also accelerates his farm speed. 
• Desolator : Causes Wraith King's physical attacks to hit harder, especially against targets with already low armor as well as towers. With Mortal Strike, Wraith King can quickly kill squishy carries and low-armor supports in the stun duration of Wraithfire Blast. Besides, it synergizes well with Assault Cuirass from the aspect of armor reduction; Vampiric Aura benefits greatly as the aura heals based on dealt damage after armor reduction.
