1. Call of the Wild
I've seen so many people avoiding this skill. Why? Because a) they hate micromanaging units, b) the summons are so weak (according to them), c) third skill is much better (yes and no..) and so on.
But good players know the importance of this skill.
- The Hawk is for surveillance.
- The Quillbeast is for slowing enemies down (has both offensive and defensive uses)
For those who hate micromanagement (maybe because...>

1. Devour
Some people ignore this skill early game, and just make up later with Battle Fury or whatever for their farming purposes. I won't go debate about this here, because I think Devour has its other uses too.
When you devour an enemy creep, the enemies see you wherever you go, while you're chewing on the beast. Unfair, huh? Well, you can actually play with your foes with this trick. When you're a little short of health, you're down...>

This is still AI+ version 1.52 because I'm not presumptuous enough to claim that I've actually updated anything. I just wanted to share this with the community because I feel like it's something that everybody can use/want, and maybe to stop all the messaging to lazyfiend for a 6.49c AI+ map.
So have fun and enjoy. If I do make any updates it will just be to the Fun Tavern, or to bugs specific to this version.
Thanks to lazyfiend for his...>

1. Storm Bolt
The bread-and-butter skill of Leoric, this bashing hammer of death's potential can be improved by following the simple tip below.
After having played with or using Leoric, I already memorized how people react to him. If he approaches you then stops somewhere within 600 range, you'd instinctively move back to get out of Storm Bolt's range. But what if Leoric continues towards you without casting Storm Bolt? In that split-second...>

1. Void and Crippling Fear
Void has a mini-stun at night--that's the first thing we have to remember. So when facing those channeling heroes, we have to reserve our void for those critical moments. Crippling Fear, which is a silencing spell at night, can also be used for the same purpose. The important thing though, is to always be alert. When using Balanar, we should not just focus on the enemy we are "hunting." Sometimes, we overkill...>

1. Mana Shield
We know how beneficial Mana Shield is for Medusa’s survival. So a no-brainer is always having it on once it is Level 4. But what if it is not yet maximized? We know it is not yet worth the mana to keep it on all the time. I agree with this but once you realize your Medusa is being targeted or chased, turn the shield on ASAP! It would buy you time to flee to your tower zone, and your allies who would back you up, as well. ...>

1. Morph
Cost-efficient Items
This one is a no-brainer but after seeing some people buy bracers in pubs, I felt I have to post this one. Never ever buy bracers for morphling because Wraith Bands would suffice. Use Morph to balance things out while regenerating beside the fountain. Remember that the minimum stats of Morphling (either for Agi or Str) depends on his base stats, not on the equivalent stats after item bonuses are added in. So learn...>
