Heroes of Newerth Slither


Slither is one of my most played heroes, he is a really versatile hero that can either support, gank, semi-carry or even become a little tanky early game if you fell like trolling a bit.

Slither as support -  well if you turn yourself into the 1st support character of you team, expect to die really often. Your goal in team fights will be to cast a good ultimate , cancel that mag/behemoth/tempest portal key and if you are lucky hit 2 or 3 heroes with spray.. the best slither you can play is when you help your "true" support with a few wards but still manage to get some survivability item at early/mid game.

Slither as ganker - your goal is to set up some ganks on your own lane, try to use a wise tp to get a kill on the other side lane.

Slither as semi carry - with enough farm at early game slither passive allied with spray can go massive damage, the fact that you take your opponents regen near to 0 allows you to take down most of the early carries, since the are almost all based on regen. Once you get those kills keep on farming and ganking, once you get that you are able  to semi-carry or even carry the game.

Slither as tanky - I have called this a trolling build but this it is a really good option if you intent on doing max DoT(Damage over Time) and take away the opponent team regen. They are better ways to play Slither but getting a Helm of the black Legion + Shaman headdress + Sol's Bulwark will make you pretty tanky.

Anyway i will leave you the the new spotlight so that you have more of an idea about the abilities synergy of all slither abilities.
