- Use your passive skill Bristleback to your advantage; anticipate enemy attacks and turn your back on them, so that you can reduce as much damage as you can.
- An early skill point on this skill during the laning phase can help you stay in the lane a while longer, especially if you are having trouble against auto-attacks.
- Even if your enemies can easily defend against you with a Magic Wand, you can still heavily damage them with Warpath; as long as you're stacking your spells against them, the bonus damage will do its job.
- Viscous Nasal Goo
is an extremely useful cripple, provided that you keep casting it
against your target, as it slows their movement speed for 32/44/56/68%.
The cripple's duration is up to you, since you can continuously cast it
to refresh the duration, and its cooldown is only 1.5 seconds.
- This skill is very effective when combined with
Warlock's Fatal Bonds,
as the damage inflicted on the crippled target from other bound creeps
or heroes is applied to the armor reduced hero at said reduced value.
This makes the Bristleback/Warlock lane combination very potent, even
into the late game. When combined with area of effect items and attacks,
a lot of damage can be dealt very quickly.
- This skill is very effective when combined with
- Bristleback's mana woes can easily be remedied by a Sage's Mask or a Ring of Basilius, since his skills have extremely low mana costs.
- One of Bristleback's main weaknesses is his lack of disables, meaning he cannot silence or interrupt an enemy from casting spells. You can either rely on your teammates for disables, or create an item of your own, so long as it benefits him in some way (a good example would be a Scythe of Vyse, since it gives him good mana regeneration for his skills, and a devastating hex disable).
