SVEN

CUTS DOWN ENEMIES WITH HIS INCREDIBLE STRENGTH.

Sven is the bastard son of a Vigil Knight in Dota 2, born to a Pale Merante and raised in the Ruins of the Shadow Coast. With his father executed for violating the Codex of the Vigil and his mother shunned for her savage race, Sven believes that honor is found not in any social order, but in oneself. After caring for his mother during prolonged agony, he volunteered as an apprentice to the Knights of the Vigil, never revealing his identity. For thirteen years he studied at his father's school, mastering the rigid code that declared his existence an abomination. Then, on the day he should have taken the oath, he took the Blade of the Exiled, destroyed the Sacred Helm and burned the Codex in the Divine Flame of the Vigil. He walked away from the Vigil Fortress, always alone, following every last strict rune of his private code. He is still a knight, yes… but a Renegade Knight. He answers to no one but himself.

Sven's main role in the game is to carry… He can also be used in roaming or off-track positions.

Sven's purpose in the game is to Counter illusion based heroes and instantly kill key enemy heroes in fights. with the help of a crazy damage output.

Skills

Storm Hammer is a powerful disable that works in a decent area of effect. Note that the spell has a very slow flight animation, so some heroes have a chance to dodge it with their escape skills.

Great Cleave is a powerful farming tool. Cleave helps Sven clear neutral camps very fast from the early stage of the game. Cleave also makes Sven one of the best illusion-based hero counters.

War Cry provides additional armor and movement speed for Sven and his allies. The spell has a very low mana cost, so you can use it often to move around the map and farm faster.

God's strength is Sven's key ability, which makes him very strong in fights. The spell provides additional damage to Sven for 40 seconds. The spell is very good for farming, killing Roshan and demolishing enemy heroes.

Items

As starting gold, you should get a suffocating sword, a set of tangos, a healing balm, a ring of protection and two iron branches.

In the early game, your goal is to get Boots of Speed for extra mobility and then go straight to Hand of Midas. Midas is very good with Sven, as it increases his attack speed and allows him to reach level 18 faster. Finish the early game build with Phase Boots and Magic Wand.

How to Play

The first thing you should realize as Sven is that you are not very strong in the early stages of the game. Sven gets stronger with elements and levels.

Your goal during the lane stage is to secure as many last hits as you can to get the items needed at the beginning of the game. Once you have secured level 7, you can start clearing the nearest neutral camps next to the lanes. You should always aim to farm as much as possible. Once you obtain a Midas Hand, you can abandon the lane altogether and start farming a jungle. Use God's strength to speed up your farming. Use it to farm stacks of neutrals, preferably old camps.

Allies and counters

Sven is an excellent choice for countering illusion-based heroes or heroes with units. He is one of the best counters to Dark Seer in the game, as you can dominate him in lane without any real effort.

Sven's best counters are mobile heroes or heroes that can stop his initiation and waste his BKB time. Winter Wyvern, Shadow Demon, Batrider are excellent heroes against Sven.
