Anub’arak was once the greatest champion of the Nerubians, but fell in the Second War of the Spider. He was resurrected by the Lich King Ner’zhul, who promised him eternal undeath in exchange for his unswerving loyalty. His layers of spiked armor are nearly impregnable, causing severe damage to attackers. When threatened, he shoots these spikes through enemies maiming and disorienting them. He channels his dark powers into a bolt of disarming negative energy, and those who witness him blending into the shadows of the frozen tundra have never lived to tell the tale.

Having mastered the art of image-creation and soul manipulation, he has the ability to transform into a fearsome and terrifying demonic form, obtaining the powers to hurl energy at his opponents.

Terrorblade - The Soul Keeper Dota Items Guide

• Start with two wraith band (level 1 shop) - 125 (Circlet of Nobility - 185 + Slippers of Agility - 150)
• Battle Fury - requires Claymore, Broadsword and Perseverance
• Power threads - 400. Requires Boots of Speed, Gloves of Haste, Boots of Elvenskin or Robe of Magi or Belt of Giant Strength
• Sange (level 2) - 800
• Yasha (level 2) - 800
• Sangye and Yasha (level 3) - 500 Gold, Requires Sangye and Yasha
• Radiance (level 4) - 1525, Requires Sacred Relic

If you are in a farm mode, make sure you are equipped with wraith band then save some money for the boots of speed. Then the next dota item that you must buy for Terrorblade is Radiance.  But if your dota hero Terrorblade is a killer, you Radiance should be your last priority.

The advantage the dota hero Terrorblade has over the other is that he could cast his dota skill Conjure Image thus misleading your opponents. One thing to consider is never ever level down. Early in the game, buy Circlet of Nobility and Slippers of Agility so that you could make a Wraith Band, make at least 2.

Level Terrorblade up to Level 6, since Terrorblade is not a range hero, you should concentrate first on levelling than killing the other dota heroes at the early part of the game. Terrorblade’s Conjure Image is a great skill to help you leveling and farming. Your next priority to buy are the Power Threads.

Terrorblade stats at level 25 with all the items
