HON: Hammerstorm
Hammerstorm
With a bit a skill and focus, Hammerstorm can easily turn the tide of any battle. Although he has a weak early game, he's definately a very strong late game hero, and with the right items, almost unstoppable. He can even have the potential to carry the team.
Skill Build
This skill build allows Hammerstorm to effectively help his teammates in his lane or to setup ganks because early game, Hammerstorm has little to no ability to harass enemy heroes. By getting a lot of Attribute Boosts early, it'll give you enough mana to cast Hammer Throw about 2-4 times while fighting a hero and it gives you a small extra damage boost to your ultimate. (This is the one I normally use)

Item Build and Strategy
Now to compliment the Hammerstorm's strengths, you can focus on getting these items.
Early Game
Pretender's Crown x 2
(These again help with mana for hammer throw, and gives a small damage boost)
Healing Potion
Runes of Blight
In the early game, your main focus should be creep killing and denying because of Hammerstorm's high base damage + Attribute boosts, it will be easy to time your strikes to get the Killing Blow on dying Creep units. However, if you happen to have aggressive ranged hero harssers, its better that you focus on denying.
Early-Mid Game (Probably your first time back at the base)
Marchers
Fortified Bracelet x 2 (Let's get that health up a bit.)
At this point in the game, you want to either farm a bit more, or help gank some heroes. If your not up against heroes that are majorly faster than you or ones that don't have marchers, you can chase them pretty far and get off at least 2-3 Hammer Throws on them, and still use Brute Strength, thanks to your higher mana pool from Attribute Boosts and Fortified Bracelets.
Mid Game (2nd and 3rd time back at main base.)
Punch Dagger
Ringmail
Enhanced Marchers
Now it's the midgame, you want to be preying on unsuspecting heroes that are too weak to take you on in a hammer fight and with your enchanced marchers, you should be able to stay within stunning range better. Often you can still take on stronger foes if you haven't obtained Brute Strength (Level 2) yet, but its harder fight. Just remember, you want to take our your foe in the least amount of time, the longer ya stay, the more dangerous it gets.
Mid-Late Game
Hungry Spirit
Elder Parasite
Its Mid-Late Game now and you have your bread-n-butter item, the Elder Parasite. This item combined with the sheer power of your Brute Strength can easily topple most heroes in a matter of seconds, stun, smack 4-5 times, stun and keep going. And with the additional movement speed boost from using the parasite, you can keep up longer with foes or use it for a huge speed boost to get away from danger.
Late Game
Shruken Head
OR
Behemoth's Heart
At Late game, you can go for either of these items, if your lacking in money or if some good casters are giving you a hard time, you can go for shruken head, but otherwise go for the Behemoth's Heart, it'll keep ya alive and give you a good damage boost.
Tips
1. Always stay on your toes during early game, stunning at the right time makes all the difference when playing Hammerstorm.
2. If your ganking, come at the target from behind so you can get some extra hits in with your Brute Strength, then stun them once they get out of melee range.
3. If you see a Dublu Damage, let another hard hitting ally hero have it, you already have your ultimate, so work together with them. 2 heroes dealing double damage is more deadly than you having double damage for an extra 30 seconds.
4. Any slowing hero is your best friend, until you have enhanced marchers, you can't keep up with those really fast heroes. Besides, the longer they stay in melee range, the more damage, the easier to stun, and the more ownage.
5. Once you have Elder Parasite, don't be afraid to do jungle creeps, with its low cooldown, you can use it as much as you want and kill the creeps fast for a little extra gold. |
