Hi!
This time, I will talk about my favorite hero (well, it's my signature hero too). Can you guess what's mine? I will give some clues: she's a lady, she comes from the sea, and she is the perfect hero to choose when you want to go rat mode.
Did you guessed it correctly? Yeah, it is Naga Siren xD
So Naga Siren can be played as carry, support, and what I like is, PUSHER. She's also a disabler, cause her ultimate and second skill could disable you. To know her better, let's read her lore!
Once most highly esteemed of her race, Slithice for many years commanded a battalion of her fellows, using her formidable voice as her greatest weapon. Powerful, sinuous, serpentine, she led her deadly Guard in defense of the Deep Ones, and the great wealth of the sunken cities. But in the final battle of Crey, her forces were driven back by a marauding army of levianths intent on finding tribute for their god Maelrawn. After the long and bloody onslaught, as the bodies were cleared from the sunken halls, a single jeweled chalice was found missing from the trove. Of her hundred Guard, only a handful survived, but their bravery and sacrifice were of little consequence. What mattered was that treasure was taken. Honor destroyed. And so Naga Siren was cast out. Banished to search for the stolen chalice. Though she might add a hundred times her weight to the golden trove, she is doomed to live apart until that day she returns that which was taken. For no amount of gold is equal in honor to the honor she lost.
And let's move to her skills!
Mirror Image is her first skill. What I like most about this skill is, it suits you as a pusher, it creates 3 illusions under your control. And it deals much damage. I really recommend to max this skill first, as you will have more ability to push and you'll have a fast farm. 16 minute Radiance confirmed!
Ensnare is perfect to max first if you're going to play Naga as support; as it traps enemies in place. Don't max it first if you're going to play carry / pusher, cause you didn't need it at early, but it is REALLY useful at late game.
This skill gives so much damage to the enemies, and if you cast it when you have some illusions, those illusions will cast this skill too. Max it first along with Mirror Image if you're going to carry the game, as this skill makes it easy for you to farm.
Song of The Siren. Yep, maybe this is the most hated skill in Dota 2 if used correctly. I often use it to escape, and especially after ratting the towers. Sometimes after I use this skill, the enemies would flame me because they're mad (THEY CAN'T CATCH ME AT ALL!).
For the items, I suggest you go radiance -> boots of travel -> diffusal blade -> octarine core -> butterfly -> and heart of tarrasque if you're too damn rich.
Some situational items as linken sphere and black king bar is perfect too, especially if you're facing nuker and disabler enemies. If you're facing Phantom Assassin or butterfly carrier hero, be sure to by monkey king bar.
Okay, that's all from me! If you're interested to learn about Naga Siren, or if you have any questions about Naga Siren be sure to ask me on my steam account. You can find more detailed information here in the Dota 2 Wiki, or other guides on the internet.
See ya next time! ;)
