Alleria - The Windrunner
In the valleys of Winterspring, deep within the verdant glades of the Forest of Trees, an elf with the power of the wind makes her home. She joined the Sentinel as a free agent shortly after the War of the Magi. Favore by the Goddess of Wind, Alleria received many blessings. Her arrows fly straight and true,piercing all enemies in a line. She can lace her arrow with wind and bind enemies together by creating ethereal shackles. Her footsteps are hastened by the currents of air. It is known that she can dispatch enemies at blinding speed by releasing a flurry of arrows. She is indeed a worthy enemy of the Scourge.
Now you will see my Alleria guide to win the game. She is a good gankers, good cheaser, have a good strength growth. She is fun to play. With her skills [Shackleshot, Powershot, Windrunner, and Focusfire] she will be hard to ambush or kill.

ALLERIA ITEM BUILD
How to Play ALLERIA
Early Game
Go for solo lane and start to gain cash. Get whatever items you want, everybody likes buying different things. Than go for Bracers, Strength Treads, Void Stone and Helm Dominator to stay in a lane for a long time.
Mid Game
Finish Guinsoo. You have more power now but it is still not your time to shine, so becareful and gank with allies, use your Powershot to end running heroes or you can use this startegy : when you see enemy hero with half HP, come with Windrunner use Focusfire and when they start to run use Powershot to finish. If there isn’t any gank going on, farm with Powershot and normal attack. Dont forget you have Guinsoo, use it as much as you can!
Late Game
This is your time to shine! Use Windrunner to come behind and slow than FocusFire Shackles when start to run (when get near tree) and dont forget disable with Guinsoo, your job now is to gank no tank no push just gank, in this part of game use your Powershot only to farm you will hardly get to finish someone with it now, nothing more to say just be careful and gank everyone you see.
I believe this guide not that perfect so if you have any suggestions, write your suggestions on the comment. Thanks. Have a good game.

This is a good guide. I have used Alleria with many other item build. So far; the item build i find very effective to gank or tank are as follows:
Early Game: 2 Null talisman and Healing salve. She is not much of a heroes at the beginning and can easily be killed by any melee char. So, in order to farm effectively and wisely, her first skill to be activate is Powershot. Use Pwrshot to farm away from tanker heroes (if need to). This is in the early game. Concentrate on farming.
-once you reach certain amount of money, build Phase Boot. It will give her armor+16 damage+ 70% speed. At this point, you must activate Windrunner skill (you will see why this is important
).
Then Proceed to farm quickly and build Orchid of Molevolence (adds: 20 Intelligence+30% Attack Speed+225% mana regen.) -> Prior to most of her skills she will need a lot of mana. If not OM build Eul Scepter which will boost her speed 20% and 100% mana regen + cyclone + 16 Intelligence. Which ever you may like.
Middle to Late game’s:
If you have OM/ Euls Scpeter and Phase Boot, already, you will notice you can assist in tanking and ganking if you play your cards right! No Kidding. I was on dominating mode already at this rate.
Additionally, you would be wary of your Hit points. You could add orb effect to your attacks by building Sange which also not only adds maim attacks, but adds you HP to 16.
You have 2 option now at this level, to either proceed to build Sange+Yasha (Yasha - 16 agility+ 15 attackspeed and speeds) OR, continue farming and build Eye of Skadi.
Next, add you attack damage by either building MKB or, BDK.
Max damage can reach up to 209 to 225. She can be a tanker at this level, still you must be careful not to get trapped, and pawned. Use Windrunner to escape attacks(evasion) and use Shackle shot then Focus fire up close, then Windrunner to escape/evade.
I pawned Axe 5 times using this tactics :)..
Thats my share. Still I do believe she can be equiped with many more items like Shiva guards to to add her intelligence+damage.
Cheers!

uhm. i have been playing alleria for a few times with using a lot of combinations.. i found out that you can make alleria a real hard to kill dps by giving her linken. you can make her a real devastating ganker dps by giving her orchid. my build usually goes like this..
start off with 1 sobi, 1 gg branch, and 2 sets of tangoes.
farm ur self up until u get orchid. start your ganking after u get an orchid. windrun behind the enemy, shackleshot, orchid him, focus fire. if he flees, powershot him.. it is a sure kill for agility or int hero.
go build ur self a power tread strength to get some health.
then go for desolator.
the game should be finished when u get a deso.
the fourth item should be either mkb or buriza, i found buriza is better than mkb coz u got a really great damage output rightnow.. [with orchid and desolator, u get yourself a crit of ~600-700..]
hope u like my alleria guide. lol

I seldom play alleria but I think alleria is more of a killer than a support hero..semi support i guess because she’s a int hero you can go for guinsoo but my item build for alleria is…power treads-lothars-guinsoo-orchid-buriza(you can combine buriza with helm of dominator pumps up your surviving ability lolz)you have a choice to build satanic or just go for damage(well i always go for damage lolz) =p

i love alleria much. the skill is really great. almost every skill that alleria have, have a multifunction, uhm not almost, every. you who like alleria would agree with me. skill 1, shackles shot, this is the most great skill. its can stun your enemies 3,5 sec in lv4. usually, the skill that stun the enemies takes much time to cooldown, but alleria just 9 or 10 sec. you can stun your enemies often, but there is also have a compensation, you need tree or enemies creeps behind the enemies to succes. yes you can use it to escape or killing. skill 2, power shot, you can farming from the safety place with this, you also can harras your enemies from safety place, just like kill two birds with one stone, you get money, also injuried your enemies, and the last, you can kill enemies who run from you. skill 3, windrunner, there is 3 function with this skill, first, of course escape, second, chase and third, battle, duel. while you use this skill, you cannot take damage from physical attack for 5 sec, if already lv4.but only physical attack, not skill. what a great skill. skill 4. 2 function, killing enemies and destroy tower. with alleria, you can be more easy to destroy tower. not believe? try it.
and i want to give a tips for playing alleria.
here is the method to kill enemi in the early game. you need power shot and shackles shot. from the far, just harras the enemi, i think with 2 or 3 powershot enough to injuri your enemies, if the enemi not use healing and still approach you, you can smile now, this is killing time. move forward dan use shackles shot. when stun, just keep attack, i believe if the enemies not die then must be very critical, if enemi trying to escape, relax, you have power shot, just shot and…smile :D. i kill lich in lv 7. use your powershot wisely, you can harras you enemies while enemi cannot damage you, even touch you. thats why, im not like bracer in the first game, im concentrate in attack, mana regen. well hope its usefull

Im practicing Alleria for nearly 1 month and this is my item build up.. I’m always targeting this item.. ” Maelstorm” After that im concentrating on how i can make my hero like superman,,, MAN OF STEEL HAHAHA
by The6thMessenger, on March 6 2010 @ 8:10 am
my build is:
3 null talisman
power treads int
blades of attack
2 tango
broadsword
crystalys
mask of death or blades of aclarity x2
helm of iron will or robe of the magi
helm of the dominator or diffusal blade 2
ultimate orb
void stone
mystic staff
guinsoo’s scythe of vise
ultimate orb
ultimate orb
point booster
eye of skadi
demon edge
buriza-do kyanon
messerchimisdt’s reaver or not
satanic or diffusal blade 2
Mystic staff
plate mail
shiva’s guard
note, at some point, sell the talismans
final build:
Satanic or diffusal blade 2
Buriza-do Kyanon
Eye of Skadi
Guinsoo’s scythe of vise
Power Treads int
Shiva’s Guard
note: if agi or str,i recommend Satanic, but if in, i recommend Diffusal Blade 2, if you god focus fire with Diffusal blade, it will wipe their mana clean, if with satanic, you will gain a lot of hp.
use shacke shot, and other item skills before focus fire, so it will not be canceled, while on focus fire, when hp is below 50% use wind runner to make them miss.
by Finch, on March 31 2010 @ 11:26 am

by dota_adik, on January 24 2011 @ 11:47 am
why not get focus fire on lvl 6 and why not get shackles on lvl 1. I prefer treads, butterfly, buriza, orchid, satanic, lothars
by Dota.A+, on January 27 2011 @ 7:37 pm
Primary items wud be a bottle then using powershot to attack creeps and heroes then treads, linken and dominator at this point you are a killing machine. End of game items wud be treads, linken,buriza, guinzoo, satanic and cuirass

by theosneil, on January 28 2011 @ 2:07 am
hey you number 27 comment you are so noob guinsoo is much better than orchid what if the enemy is not a skiller type like troll i go with guinsoo
by theosneil, on January 28 2011 @ 2:10 am
if you get fucos fire on level six its use less because alleria’s damage is not powerful enough and shackle level 1 ah its danm you have to get powershot for easy money
by Pokemon_Palkia, on January 31 2011 @ 4:13 am
Item build up for Alleria EYE OF SKADI, BOOTS OF TRAVEL, SATANIC,CRANIUM BASHER, BUTTERFLY, AND BURIZA-DO KYANON. It is a good combination when I try to use this item to Alleria.
by dgfsgd, on March 9 2011 @ 11:11 pm
@dota_adik focus fire on 6???50% less damage..u will feel like a neutral creep
by IÑAKI, on March 15 2011 @ 4:30 pm
Alleria is so asy.
early game, mostly at 5v5…
use shackleshot and buy 12 tangos because you really need to be stiff, and you also need 5 ironwood branches.
Mid-game:
You get bracers, since you already have 24 deaths in that time. sell all your ironwood, and get another tango.
DO NOT PUT POWERSHOTS.
Late game:
use F.Fire on neutral creeps for ultimate farming!
when your team is already losing, get another tango!
by clifford, on April 30 2011 @ 6:31 pm
treads
monkey king bar
dominator
satanic
guinsoo;s
butterfly

by PissedOffGuy, on July 3 2011 @ 3:21 pm
Clearly all of you guys play with easy bots and expect that to be just how an actual game is. Watch a couple of pro replays and you’ll see that they don’t get a fucking single item that you guys propose, apart from Guinsoo, and that’s not becaue they want to support their team. It’s because they arn’t FUCKING RETARDED. Ight, one example, you’re up against Ancient Apparition in mid solo and a vengeful spirit and Earth Shaker pop up and take turns stunning you, then your frozen. That level one powershot really helped didn’t it? Save your skill point till you get to your lane, if their being aggresive and going for first blood skill Windrunner, IF not, skill ShackleShot because the stuns either going to rack you up a kill or save you or your ally. Skilling powershot first is fucking retarded, what would you even use it for at level one. A non-retarded build is :
1. Windrunner/Shackleshot
2. ShackleShot/Windrunner
3-5. Power shot
6. Shackleshot
7. Power Shot
8-9. Sachkelshot
10-11.Focus Fire/Windrunner
12-14. Windrunner
15. Stats/Focus Fire
16. Focus Fire/Stats
17-25. Stats/Focus Fire
Why? Cause until you get items Focus fire does nothing,and you get these items at mid-game + so why would you get it at level 6 and deal a whopping 40 damage in rapid succession generally equalling round about 200 damage before you get fucked? Depending on when you get items, focus fire can be delayed.
Items? What if your early game gets fucked cause your being raped in lane? What if the opposite team is denying effectively and your dying and getting no cash? Whaddya going to do? FARM TILL 40 MINUTES AND COME OUT WITH TREADS AND ORCHID AND STILL EXPECT TO WIN? No. By that time you’ve lost, if JackFrog and ZSMJ had shit teams they would’nt be able to farm half aswell as they do, and in pubs, your gonna have shit teams no doubt. You need to be reasonable.
Ring Of Protection, 4x branches, 2 set of tangoes. Decent starting items, enough regen, if your team mate shared a courier (which doesnt happen in pubs) Thank god and try and get a solo lane. If not, take a side lane, generally the short lane with the pullable neutrals, Bot for sentinel, top for scourge. Farm as best you can and buy a sobi mask as soon as possible. Use tangoes even if your at 3/4 hp. If you’ve farmed 500 gold and still have tangoes, sell a branch and buy boots. Farm, Farm, try a kill, farm, farm, don’t die. Buy yourself a wand, noobs don’t understand this but its the single most imba item in the game, phase boots, fuck your treads are you stupid, attack animations good enough and if you really need it later you’ll have focus fire, so suck it up. Phase grants you greater mobility and basically all times, it alot better. Buy a bottle, why? Cause your going to be ganking, so buy that shit. So by this point ~lvl 8-9 if you managed to farm like you should and not like a 6 year old, even better if you got a kill. You’ve got Phase boots, Wand, Bottle, Basillus AND YOUR CARRYING A FUCKING TP DONT EVER FORGET IT. Right, you’re set, go ganking. 8-9 pop out at the appropriate time, shackle guy to tree or partner/creep. Whack WITH ALLIES, PHASE with boots to chase NOT windrunner, and powershot where appropriate to net kills, get the kills ks if you must you need them. WINDRUNNER IS SAVED FOR RUNNING AWAY. Physcial Damage immunity man, make use of it, you should be faster then the person your chasing anyway. Next you got for a FORCE STAFF, yes that right, FORCE STAFF learn to fucking use it, saves your allies saves your self push enemies into your buddys and grants you damage and mana. Then depending on how you stand you get either Guinsoo, Orchid or Linken’s sphere. Being disabled and need stats? Sphere. Your TEAM needs a disable not you want more damage, get Guinsoo. Your TEAM lacks DPS and/or you like getting kills with no purpose, get Orchid. THEN you are free to get what you want, Desolators a nasty orb effect, eye of skadi if you have enough cash is SEXY. Life Steal is meh, get it if you want, I don’t like it on her. Sange and Yasha? YOU ARE NEITHER A STR HERO OR AN AGILITY HERO. Want a slow, farm skadi. Butterfly, you thinking about buying it? If yes, go fuck yourself and stop playing DotA cause you clearly suck too much to ever be good. The above mentioned items are 100x better, yes, you could be a carry but no you shouldn’t get this item. MKB fine, if the games actually going on for that long. Rapier, whip it out at the last second and go push into their base, they’ll never know what hit them. Buriza is OK not amazing, but do-able. Assault cuirass, face palm. I’m going to sasy this as simply as possible. Windrunner, Cuirass no no, wtf is the point of this attack speed crap when you’ve got focus fire? You don’t actually fire arrows any faster when you have focus fire on and if your looking to kill, you should be focus firing anyway.
I’m sorry for posting practically a second guide on this same page, but it hurts me to think that people around the world might be reading what some of the dick heads above have been posting and taking it on board. Then failing when they can’t farm up the items mentioned because they don’t have a decent build up, and dismissing windrunner as a shit hero. For those of you who think windrunner is a better carry than a support, your wrong, shes equally good in both roles, but thats a whole other guide.
by PissedOffGuy, on July 3 2011 @ 3:33 pm
Oh and two orb effects don’t stack assholes -.- EYE OF SKADI AND SATANIC DOES NOT EQUAL LIFESTEAL+SLOW IT EQUALS SLOW AND WASTED GOLD ON LIFESTEAL.
by xcien, on August 11 2011 @ 12:53 pm
windrunner is my superhero. item build up is good, but for me i use boots, ironwood and blades of attack for early game, then phase boots and maelstrom. maelstrom is good for creeping/pushing. then, buriza-de-kyanon!
then poof! voila!
go for normal attack on enemy heroes, then powershot!
windrun for escape.. focus fire on towers…
then be GODLIKE!
