Hello Armies, Welcome to another dota2 hero spotlight. And today we are going to feature a very strong hero in the game. Bristleback.
Bristleback was the most-banned hero. Bristleback was the most banned hero in some tournaments.. Bristleback is a major winner with the current patch, but his moment being in the spotlight was long overdue due to the many improvements and tweaks to his skills. Below is an overview of what led to his rise to fame and some tips to play him, lane with him, and hopefully take him down!
Bristleback is a ton and a lot of fun and surprising. I was not convinced by this whole Bristleback hero, but after the team was destroyed by him during a game at the pub, and I began researching the character for this article I realized that he’s really fun. The best part about Bristleback is that he can grant damage, so you can have quite a lot of flexibility in the items you create. It is easy to purchase items for his team, like Pipe of Insight or Crimson Guard or choose to go with Blademail and Lotus Orb. Your choice is up to you.
The majority of the fun of the hero lies in being aware that there appears there is some confusion about the method of operation used by the hero in the first place, with Quill Spray inflicting a lot of innocent victims, who seem blissfully unaware of the damage it could cause with and the amount of damage is caused by his final. Here is my complete guide to the hero, and I would advise you to try him at least once regardless of the player you are playing in, so that you can gain a better understanding of how you can beat his upcoming opponents.
“I believe that he’s my first choice material,” said Moo from CompLexity in response to a question about Bristleback. “Super powerful, tough hero, does not have any requirements or “hard combatants”. There are heroes strong against him, but nothing can stop him from being himself.

That’s attacking the enemy. His passive when combined with strong armor and damage block are crazy as well as a very quick hero that doesn’t require damage items because your ult is very strong.”
A lot of people attribute Bristleback’s sudden rise in popularity to the recent increase of 10 percent Lifesteal Talent, but there’s much more behind it than the fact that. The rise in Bristleback’s power is due to a variety of factors: modifications to his character and his usual items, and a third one is an increased exposure.
Another aspect in the growth of Bristleback is the presence of items, a fact which TNC captain 1437 mentioned when I inquired about the popularity of the hero. “His buffs were in line with certain buffs for items at present, and they are in sync. Similar to Solar Crest, Halberd… Hoods are less expensive for a while. All defensive equipment has been made stronger and gives the hero greater flexibility. ”
In addition to improvements to his abilities and defensive tools, there’s also the fact that he’s been spotted in the professional scene lately, with the most notable being the Manila Masters by Team NP and the public recognition of how powerful the hero can be led people to realize he could be worth checking out in bars. The ZOTAC Cup Masters, he was the one with the highest ban together with Crystal Maiden, and at EPICENTER, he had an average win rate of 85 7 wins over 8 games.
Well, that’s it for Bristleback. What can you say about this hero? Is this a reliable hero to play in a rank game? Thank you again, Armies and see you in the next hero spotlight.
