Lone Druid stats, abilities and strategy

Commands a powerful spirit bear in battle

Battling alongside his powerful spirit bear, Lone Druid demolishes enemy forces and structures. Switching as needed between ranged and melee attacks with his transformation, should he have enough time to arm and strengthen both himself and his companion, there is little that can stop them.

Strategy

Control runes with hero and Spirit Bear.

Fish for entangle by poking opponents with the Spirit Bear here and there. If it procs, you can do follow up damage with more right clicks.

Make use of catapult waves. The Spirit Bear can tank tower shots for a while.

When in trouble, consider using Savage Roar and True Form. Lifesteal or body blocks from the Spirit Bear can also help survive.

Avoid showing your hero too much, especially at the start of the fight.

You can take Roshan fairly early by yourself or with minimal help. The Bear with Me facet will help heal both the hero and Spirit Bear with right clicks.

Make sure to pick up Aghanim's Shard on your hero at the 15 minute mark. It provides a drums-like buff and basic dispel with Savage Roar.

In tough late game scenarios, resort to ratting with Aghanim's Scepter on your Spirit Bear to let it attack away from your hero.

Counter Strategy

Spirit Link heals Lone Druid every time the Bear hits. Burst Lone Druid or don't bother hitting him.

Lone Druid buys items for the Spirit Bear if he has the Bear with Me facet. If you kill Spirit Bear twice, he does no damage.

Spirit Bear does a lot of damage to buildings. Organize defense quickly.

Lone Druid is a snowbally hero and falls off as the game goes. Look to extend the game.

Lone Druid is great at split-pushing and ratting. Consider getting Boots of Travel on a core.
