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.
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 if you have either Bear with Me or Bear Necessities facet. Lifesteal or body blocks from the Spirit Bear can help.
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 Aghanims 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 Aghanims 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 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.
Lore
Long before the first words of the first histories there rose the druidic Bear Clan. Wise and just they were, and focused in their ways to seek an understanding of the natural order. The arch forces of nature saw this, and so sought the most learned among them. Wise old Sylla, clan justiciar and seer, stepped forward for his kin, and to him was given the Seed with these words: 'When all of the world has dimmed, when civilization has left these lands, when the world is slain and wracked by the endless deserts at the end of ages, plant the Seed.'
As he grasped his trust, Sylla felt his years recede and his vitality returned. Vast knowledge burst into his mind. He found himself able to project his very will into reality and, with some concentration, alter his own physical form as well. Yet subtle whispers and cruel ears brought word of the Seed and its power to other peoples, and a terrible war crashed upon the Bear Clan. As his ancestral home burned, Sylla took his burden and fled to the wild places.
Ages passed, and time and myth forgot the Bear Clan, forgot Sylla and the Seed, forgot wondrous civilizations that rose and fell in Bear Clan's wake. For millenia Sylla has waited, waited for word from his deities, waited for peace to come to the ever warring realms, waited in exile and in secret for the end of all things and for the conclusion of his sacred commitment, preparing himself always to face and destroy whatever would dare threaten his purpose.
