Voodoo Jester Hero Guide - Heroes of Newerth(HON) Tutorial

If you played DotA and remember Witch Doctor, you should have an idea how to play Voodoo Jester in HoN. Voodoo Jester is not an easy hero to play, so to own with it you must have skill a practice on your side. This Voodoo Jester tutorial should give you the basics of how to play this hero.

Voodoo's skills are: Acid Cocktail, Mojo, Cursed Ground and Spirit Ward (ultimate).  The most inportant skill with Voodoo Jester is Cursed Ground so it is of most importance to place it well. After you cast Cursed Ground on an enemy hero, the goal is to inflict as much damage as possible. Cursed Ground will inflict damage over 12 seconds according to the damage the enemy hero took while cursed. Even if an enemy hero escapes with low hp he will probably die if you inflicted enough damage on the first seconds of the curse.


Voodoo Jester Skill build
This is the build i recomend:

1. Acid Cocktail
2. Cursed Ground
3. Acid Cocktail
4. Cursed Ground
5. Cursed Ground
6. Spirit Ward
7. Cursed Ground
8. Acid Cocktail
9. Acid Cocktail
10. Mojo
11. Spirit Ward
12-14. Mojo
15. Stats
16. Spirit Ward
17-25. Stats

Some people claim that:

1. Acid Cocktail
2. Cursed Ground
3. Mojo
4. Cursed Ground
5. Cursed Ground
6. Spirit Ward
7. Cursed Ground
8. Mojo
9. Mojo
10. Acid Cocktail
11. Spirit Ward
12-14. Acid Cocktail
15. Stats
16. Spirit Ward
17-25. Stats 

is a more helpful build for a babysitting Voodoo since you can use Mojo as a defensive spell healing your lane ally or an offensive combining Mojo with Cursed Ground to get a kill on a more careless enemy.

Personally I like the first build more. It is amazing the stun time you can get if you get 2 enemy heroes alone.

Voodoo Jester Item Build
 
There are 2 vital items for Voodoo, Shuriken Head for magic immunity this is essential if you don't want to see you ultimate disabled by a stun or silence, and The Staff of the Master because it will make your ultimate bounce into 3 enemy heroes like Moon queen Multi-Strike.

Starting items:

Most of the time it will be upon you to get courier and/or wards while playing Voodoo. Play with your stat items to get them. Remember NEVER leave base without an healing method.

When your items look like this you should own pretty hard:

The combo will be: Shurinken Head + Acid cocktail + Cursed Ground + Frostfield Plate + Spirit ward

On a perfect world this should grant you at least a triple kill.

But if you don't have the skills or the game is not running in your favor, you should consider building 2 bracelets to improve your life at start. Considering Phase boots is not a mistake, it will help a lot on ganks since you have to place your ultimate on the perfect spot, but Voodoo Jester needs life so it is up to you.


Farming with Voodoo should not be a problem. Try to last hit at least the 1st and 2nd creep from the wave and then just trow Acid cocktail at the rest.
