Dota Rules for Newbie..

I decided to create this simple guide for those people who can't understand the complete orb effect priority table

You don't need to memorize the table. You just need these simple rules and you'll do just fine.

Rule#1: MELEE/RANGED HEROES SHOULD ONLY HAVE 1 ORB ITEM.

"Why do I see people having a lifesteal + maim combination?"
Maim WILL NOT TRIGGER with any lifesteal orb effect. Try to check maybe the hero have lifesteal skill which is not an orb effect for example: Naix.

Rule#2: RANGED HEROES COULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING COMBINATIONS:

Cold Attack + Maim
Cold Attack + Chain Lightning
Cold Attack + Lifesteal

Other combinations will not work.

Rule#3: HAVING ANY ORB EFFECT ITEM + MANTA WILL WORK.

"Why do i see people who use HoD + Manta?"

They only want the illusion skill of the manta not its feedback. If you want to do these, always place the feedback orb item into the 6th Slot.



Rule#4: TRYING TO HAVE 3 ORB EFFECT ITEM IS STUPID.


Note: This guide is for dummies only. And also, this may or may not be applicable to these Orb Heroes.
* Broodmother
* Sand King
* Ursa Warrior
* Anti-Mage
* Nerubian Weaver
* Bone Fletcher
* Drow Ranger
* Netherdrake
* Obsidian Destroyer
* Silencer
* Sacred Warrior
* Enchantress

I'll try to create a list of orb items that can work with each of those heroes' orb effect skill.

Questions, Corrections and Objections wil be entertained.
