DotA Ursa guide

Ranked #2,203 in Games, #83,205 overall

A popular melee hero

He's a furbolg warrior that can devastate enemies with his ferocious melee attacks... many of which can happen in the blink of an eye. The ursa warrior's real damage comes through improved strength rather than agility, as his ultimate ability adds a portion of his health to every swing.

More agility doesn't hurt though! The butterfly item is popular for Ursa in -em DotA games due to boosting his attack speed, damage, and tankability (coupled with a heart of course).

Character type: Agility. Team affiliation: Neutral.

    THIS IS WHAT U GET IN ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!! PHASE BOOTS, VLADS, YASHA, HoT, BFLY. after this u do whatever u want cuz it should be a finished game. this build is for -em modes

Item build

I prefer the following DotA equipment unless I'm playing a tough team: Vanguard, Vladmir's Blessing, Power Treads (or Phase Boots) and a Heart. I start with the first two in pieces and work my way towards that depending on my available gold. A lothar's edge or blink dagger for Ulfsaar is always good as well if they're not a bad choice in the matchup.

    Orb Effects don't effect fury swipes, I generally get Diffusal Blade; the mana break doesn't work, but the slow is very useful. But yeah, that's what works for me.

    SnY is not for ursa bec. it has an orb effect when somebody says "Sny is best for Ursa" you can reply like this "are you a NOOB?or you are just don't know how to use Ursa.My build for Ursa is Vladimirs.sometimes threads sometimes phase boots also u can get a Kelen's Dagger of Escape if u want, sometimes vg but i prepare for cuirras,Heart of Tarasque(HOT),cranium Basher if u want ursa to be a killer,you can alsobuild a lothars edge if your opponent had a gem u can buy butterfly

    I like to buy Lothar's Edge on him. Ursa's a tough one to get away from if you sneak up on someone.

Fury Swipes

Orb effect

Additional damage for each of Ursa's hits on a target.

    this is a must have

Earth shock

Ability

Does minor damage and slows everyone near Ulfsaar.

Comments about Earthshock:

Overpower

Temporary buff

Gives him a huge boost to attack speed for several strikes.

Comments about Overpower:

Enrage

Ultimate temporary buff

Adds the power of his current life force to his attacks.

Comments about Enrage:

The ursa warrior is a nice character to play if you're an adrenaline junkie. His overpower is a rush each time you do it.
