Analysis on DOTA2 Mainstream: Three Different Strategies

As one of our popular champions, Juggernaut of DOTA2 can always kill the enemies far away from him with his swift movement and fast pace in the battle. Here is a special guide I bring you on how to play this champion well and make him a lasting nightmare for the opposing side.









In general, the current mainstream can be divided into three strategies. When you have been good at these strategies, then you will make it closer to be holy shit.



Solution 1: Straight Fight Strategy

This strategy needs you to focus on quick move and attack speed. So, the items for you to equip with include Phase Boots, Drum of Endurance and Yasha. It is the strategy that yyf of IG has chosen in the game at first. There are some advantages for you. For example, it will provide you with strong fight ability, high attack speed and move speed. It is useful for you to chase the enemy down by use of Drum of Endurance, even encountered with Luna who has high move speed. At the same time, the items also prominently increase the damage when Blade Fury is used to those green hands that are equipped with Phase Boots and can’t escape its damage from Blade Fury. All you need to do is to chase those green hands down and kill them easily.



Solution 2: Farm Strategy

It is hard to make a decision in this situation. The first problem is that whether your own team considers you as the leading role or not. If you’re considered as the leading role and allowed to farm in the free bottom line, then you can choose this strategy. In this case, the items you will equip with include Power Treads and Battle Fury. But you should understand that this kind of item makes you have no ability to chase the enemy down, and the strong burst ability will provide a good choice to connect it with Omnislash and Blade Fury, or cooperate with your team mate by use of Omnislash. You should never have such an idea of chasing the enemies down. The core for this strategy is to farm steadily.



Solution 3: Fight Alone With Pushing Tower Strategy

The core for this strategy is to push tower. All the items you should have include Phase Boots, Bottle, Shadow Blade, as well as Bracer or Braith Band, and it will slow down the pace for pushing tower. When your team can’t do well in team fight, this will be a better solution with Nature's Prophet and Magina as team mates. So you can continue to push tower forward and force the enemies to come back for defense, and also gradually turn the table by controlling the enemies for more team mates to fight.



It is believed that these three common strategies are suitable for all tactics, and you need more practice to play this champion well. By the way, Juggernaut seems to lose his sword without any reason, and you can only see that he fights with others by his own hands.
