Abilities

Battery Assault (E)
Discharges high-powered shrapnel from openings in Rattletrap's clockwork upon a random nearby target dealing minor magical damage and ministun every 0.75 seconds. Lasts 10 seconds .

Power Cogs (C)
The Clockwerk Goblin ejects pieces of his inner core to form a circular barrier around him, trapping nearby units in with him. These cogs require 3 attacks from an enemy to be destroyed before their expiration time. If an enemy unit with mana goes near an element from the outside it gets shocked for some hp and mana and is knocked back. An element powers down if it shocks a unit.

Rocket Flare (R)
Fires a fast moving missile at a target area on the map, revealing the targeted area. Upon impact it damages enemy units in the 600 AOE explosion. Reveals explosion location for 10 seconds.

Hookshot (T)
Fires a grappling, piston-like attachment at a unit or location. It will latch on the first non-neutral enemy target it encounters, pulling you to it. Any enemies whom you collide with while being reeled toward the target will take damage and be stunned.

Trap Rattling

Get close to your victim, activate your battery, then activate your cage. When the cage runs out, keep running next to your enemy, and if possible step in front, hit them, and continue chasing until you get in front, then repeat.

Trap, Rattle, Blast!

Do some Trap Rattling, but missle your own cage while you're in it with your victim for added damage.

Hook, Line, Sinker.

Hook yourself to your victim, activate battery, wait until the stun ends, run alongside your enemy (if they moved), cage, missle the cage. This is your ultimate combo.

Early Game:

Try to get Sentinel Bot or Scourge Top and a disabling lane partner for early game. If you happen to be against their solo then at level 2 have your ally disable them, get behind them and pull off a Trap Rattle from the strategies above. This should net you first blood. Afterwards, stay in your lane to gather last hits and some experience. Don't be afraid to gank once you have a bracer and boots as your abilities are very powerful early.

Mid Game:

This is your time to shine. Gank using the Hook Line, and Sinker combo above whenever you see a hero alone in their lane. Be sure to participate in any team battles and help your allies if they are in trouble. You should complete your core items except for radiance during early and mid game.

Late Game:

Late game becomes more about team battles. Let someone else initiate unless you have a heart, then hookshot a low health target and perform the Hook, Line, Sinker, strategy. Late game you should get a radiance to improve your damage during this or a heart to allow you to better withstand punishment during this.

This skill build is taken from DotaPortal as i haven't try it yet myself, but i will update this guide soon. I hope this can help you and i will like to hear your experience with Rattletrap - The Goblin Clockwerk :)

1. Should buy Bracers and Power thread for speed.
2. Concentrate on upgrading Rockets and Cog first. Somehow I didn't the first ability to be amusing. I don't know about you guys.
3. Use the rockets a lot. It helps you for creeping.
4. I prefer Sange Yasha and Helm of Dominator for this guy.
5. Use the trap Cog if you find invisible rune. Go hunting
6. I just knew what is the use of the first skill. Haha. It is very useful if you trapped AN ENEMY and no creeps around. Just watch your enemy get stunned!!

I'll keep you posted. Tell us your ideas on the below of the page :)
