Strategy

Harass with Burning Spears as often as you can as it doesn't pull aggro.

On tough lanes rush Helm of Iron Will to solve health sustain issues.

Huskar is snowbally type of a hero. Do well on the lane, take an early Roshan and call for a group up.

Lifebreak dispels on cast which is particulary useful against heal reductions like Spirit Vessel.

Do Roshan once you have Armlet completed and ideally Berserker's Blood and Burning Spears maxed out.

Check opponents for heal reductions and break effects. You can itemize or adjust playstyle accordingly.

Aghanim's Scepter allows you to pick-off heroes and deals with kiting.

Counter Strategy

Someone should buy Spirit Vessel against Huskar to offset his regeneration and deal high damage.

Huskar likes to play on low HP. Look to gank him early on.

Life Break applies basic dispel. Avoid casting dispellable spells and items before Huskar jumps.

Huskar is snowbally hero that relies on killing Roshan early on. Ward and check Roshpit.

Heaven's Halberd disarms Huskar for 5 seconds and shortens Inner Fire debuff duration.

Silver Edge breaks Huskar's passive - Berserker's Blood.

Lore

Emerging from the throes of the sacred Nothl Realm, Huskar opened his eyes to see the prodigal shadow priest Dazzle working a deep incantation over him. Against the ancient rites of the Dezun Order, Huskar's spirit had been saved from eternity, but like all who encounter the Nothl he found himself irrevocably changed. No longer at the mercy of a mortal body, his very lifeblood became a source of incredible power; every drop spilled was returned tenfold with a fierce, burning energy. However this newfound gift infuriated Huskar, for in his rescue from the Nothl, Dazzle had denied him a place among the gods. He had been denied his own holy sacrifice.

In time the elders of the order sought to expand their influence and Huskar, they agreed, would be a formidable tool in their campaign. Yet becoming a mere weapon for the order that denied him his birthright only upset him further. As the first embers of war appeared on the horizon, he fled his ancestral home to find new allies, all the while seeking a cause worthy of unleashing the power his total sacrifice could bring.
