Draconis - Hero Guide - HON Tutorial - Heroes of Newerth


S2Games provided on their YouTube Channel a really nice Draconis Hero Spotlight where you have knowledge of what Draconis can do( for sure he can do a lot!) and how to play him.



The fiery dragon, Draconis, has awoken. As searing flames lick the charred scales accenting his face, a roar is let loose - the World Tree must be defended! Even Pyromancer would be scared of all the fire brought forth. As a ranged agility hero, Draconis can lay waste to his enemies with attacks, and should focus on doing damage and increasing his attack speed.

Draconis would benefit the most from Steamboots, as the attack speed and defensive capabilities are the most fitting. Ghost Marchers can be nice for the damage, but Blazing Flight already grants a great movespeed boost along with unit walking, so they're redundant. Frostburn has proven to be a great item for the bonus damage, health, and snare needed to keep the barrage of Cataclysmic Assault going longer. Since most of Draconis spells are low mana cost, a chalice provides all the mana needed, if you opt to go for a heavy Q build for ganking. Since Cataclysmic Assult propegates attack modifiers, items such as Savage Mace and Frostwolf Skull synergize nicely for huge damage and a giant slow. Charged Hammer will only proc on the main attack, however, with the increased attack speed boost and AoE damage, it's still a viable alternative to Savage Mace. Wingbow can be used as a tech item for the defensive stats it grants through evasion and armor, but Shrunken Head is the ultimate defensive item to allow full use of Cataclysmic Assault and maximum damage.

  2. I would recommend ghost marchers is a must have for moving around/avoiding ganks at early game. When you get firebrand you have almost 522ms when ghost marchers are activated. (you can get the 522ms if you activate Draconis 2nd Skill!) just free haste ;)

    Anyway the best for damage output are steamboots. But as i said i prefer ghost marchers.
