[mpenano]

@RikiJasmin Thanks a lot men

[EleazarAlmazan]

Who is that hero walking in 0:01 at the left side then disappears in the fog?

[gerthebear1232123]

@EleazarAlmazan

Balanar

[zobayer1]

@EleazarAlmazan vengeful spirit I think

[ManirCrew]

[ggg333mmm]

нубьё редкое

[killyourselfpleasety]

ok why do people pick the easiest heros to play to make guides for them.... i mean if u need help playing NS then quit dota right now hes so easy....

[llWinterFROSTll]

how teh hell does he run around while townportalling?

[maryriviera]

@llWinterFROSTll

Sub ability of Ezalor (keeper of the light)'s ultimate allows you to teleport an ally to your location after 4 sec

[poomzeed]

I always play this hero

In the last 2 games, I killed 22/0 and 16/0

Never died

[ikeuchirobby]

@poomzeed not bad...in level 6 already killed 9 times~:DDD

[ikeuchirobby]

how can u use the travel with running???@@

[TatsuyaSuou1983]

@ikeuchirobby It's not travel, it's KOTL's ult ability that let's him teleport someone to him from anywhere on the map as long as they don't take damage while it's in effect.

[pevertidooo]

@ikeuchirobby Ezalor teleport ally skill u.u

[gerthebear1232123]

@ikeuchirobby

Gandalf, or that hero that has Illuminate, teleported him to the base...

[EOWnewrazer]

@ikeuchirobby ezalor skill my dear

[Jpal213]

@ikeuchirobby

Nope it's an ability elazor uses, his ult can free teleport people to his location if on the same team =)

[darkskoliro]

@ikeuchirobby its called keeper of the light.

[PIumpomatic]

@ikeuchirobby

pretty sure keeper teled him to saftey C:

[haggardzz]

@poomzeed

what's ur account on playdota.eu ?? so I can watch ur play ? :)

[rrramon]

great vid. hope you can check out my balanar commentary :)

[adupriya]

Epic songs ^^

[Workerman1991]

@1TheMusiciansShadow1

lol,you make heart of tarrasque and bkb with sny when you are in hard time!

So what do you make when you are in good time,bro?

[1TheMusiciansShadow1]

Sometimes if I have a hard time I use thse items, tell me if these items are not useful.

1. Vladmir Offering

2. Cranium Basher

3. Sange and Yasha

4. Treads

5. Tarrasque

6. Black King Bar (Are These Items Fine for a Typical Game?)

[Workerman1991]

@snorkleplax

pb,coz i want bala to be a killer in even day time when void can slow only for 2sec (phase also gives handsome +24 damage early game)....i dont build aghanim too...instead of that you can try to build a monke king bar...for truestrike which bala needs more.and aghanim will be a complete waste until there is no rikimaru and gondar in opponent side.

[Workerman1991]

best nightstalker build

1.phase boot

2.vladimir

3.stygian

4.crystalis->buriza or basher

5.SnY

6.preservence(lategame)

it is a rampage in night!!

[snorkleplax]

@Workerman1991

why pb? treads with sny or yasha and 3rd skill is good enough.

better build:

1. Treads

2 Vlads

3. SnY (Sange ain't orb anymore)

4. Deso

5. Basher

6. Aghanim's

[MrHindiakoemo]

my powerful item in my inventory is Radiance x)

[lelyamarche]

you inspire me to use bala every time i watch the vid

[RainOn2SunnyDay]

0:18 i was thinking full of shit

[Jaje91]

gg ezalor!

[DeadDeathz]

ALWAYS MAX YOUR hunter in the night first. If you are going for that little damage in adding void its useless. the slow is still the same. Getting more speed and attack speed is more important.

[fu41190]

the one who post this video surely is a noob. Because NS have to solo mid to get more exp when the night fall.

[Boubavisham]

@fu41190

Balanar has no laning skills at all. He would just get owned in any solo lane against any decent player. I think you are the noob around here..

[LikeFunLikeGunz]

AHH Thats why he is like so hard to kill i fought him at night lol !

[RonJoshuaTorres]

@dcwcwcw Black King Bar no magic can touch you..

[vbox8]

all you need is: first boots of speed then perservarence than vladimir then basher than BF youll own every time

[Hunkyfish20]

balanar is shithouse for attacking first. best the thing to do is run in and attack, wait for him to run, void and finish him off.

[dcwcwcw]

WATS BKB?

[aoisatan]

how do you teleport when running ??

[joboikickme]

@aoisatan it is ezalors last skill you can TP allies to you,, luckily ezalor is at the base..

[OutlandeR889]

song??

[chrism216]

shit hero.

another one of those heroes you will only see in pubs, because its a terrible team hero.

[zhouy13]

hey the morphing at 5:15 is way too noob

he could have killed u wat a noob==

[TheHomeProducers]

but how can u teleport whle moving xD?

[creatorneo]

@TheHomeProducers ezalor can do it.he can call a friend to him near.

[mrng65]

@TheHomeProducers Probably in the previous versions?im not sure xP Haha

[hironyx]

@TheHomeProducers that's exactly what i thought...

[SkyRider485]

nice intro :))

[chris98825]

i pwned 3 heroes in one night with balanar and their all in the same spot

[kenneth1224]

hey dude cn u pls pls make more dis type of tutorial its fun to watch..MAKE MORE PLS...TQ

[chris98825]

@kenneth1224 yeah me too youre guide really help me

[dev41860]

sioray1 stfu no matter it is a replay or what noob it should make pt

[untitle83]

whats the song 3:00 ?

[airbender64]

nice dude i used this tactic and got a 14-2 k/d ratio :D with dubble basher, vlad, byanza, treads and hyper stone :)

[dev41860]

look balanar items at 5:05 gloves of haste,belt of giant strength and boots of speed then it should make power treads but it didnt.is it a mh?

[roDOTAplayer]

@dev41860 i think in that version u need power treads recipe :D

[siaoray1]

@dev41860 You're a noob(: its a replay

[faust666desrosiers]

SnY gives balanar a ridiculous ms and a stackable AS get on item... it also gives him 16 str and 16 agi which makes him tougher and a chance to slow his prey which also reminds him a feared chaser.. i never prefer deso on dis hero coz of its poor bonus gain.. 60 dmg and -6 armor hell no...

[Battogtokh]

6:26 how did u do that?

[danlimdav182]

@Battogtokh Its a skill from the ulti of Keeper of Light

[spongeboobist]

@Battogtokh that's a skill of the Keeper of the light.

[qwetyo]

hi pro i just wanna ask is it ok to put lifesteal on this hero

[danlimdav182]

@qwetyo hell yea u should put lifesteal, it will give u more kills a lot easier, + if ur going to die, u don't have to go all the way home, and just go kill creeps

[DarkMoon191]

what does Cons mean?

[fromnsk]

Agree. Desol is better for Balanar than S&Y. On early game all balanar is need, is damage! But on the late game he needs also lots of HP and/or lifesteal. I would prefer MKB + satan in future. But desol + tarasque in future should work fine too ^_^

[totallnewbiefan]

Nice guide.But knowing how to play balanars skills to the max doesnt make that much of a difference because he owns any pub in pro or noob hands .

[genokaihl008]

There are some heroes who outruns balanar so having a S&Y build is not that bad cuz using void on them is not enough! u will need that extra movement speed and the maim to fully chase them! But this is only optional

[sparkwaltzz21]

pde pla gumalaw kpag nag ttp ?

[MrLiGhT198]

@sparkwaltzz21 ay! skill un ni Keeper eh...

[Kentge1]

My balanar is SnY,ButterFly,Cuirras,Tarasque­,Travel,MKB

thats my item hehehe please no bad replys im just suggesting my Items

Just Try it .................

[ageegeegeegee]

do NS really needs the stun hummer?

sometimes i buy it, but its not really feels powerful, becuz no increas damge

[LordHexer]

is that against bots?...they just keep on attacking you like dumb shit

[efsane26eses]

urn of shadow is create for balanar

[michaelermita]

my build: power treads, vladimirs,sange&yasha,battle fury, heart of tarrasque, aghanims(optional)

[MegaTheOne]

what's the song in first 2.20 minutes ?

[Cadavaris]

a friend of mine used this guy once, he was moving SO FAST!

[ZWeeslaZ]

Nice. Good choice of item for balanar: Desolator!

[13kingz13]

I would love for you to send me a message for items and what order i should get them in Thank You!!!!!

[Corey91666]

they fixed balanar hes better now ^^ 110 mana for void for example

[wootfiles]

just one thing. balanar's ulti doesnt "extend" the nighttime. what it does is it freezes the day/night timer and does the ulti. when the ulti stops, the timer resumes.

so if you use it while its nighttime it technically is X many seconds longer, but you could also use it during the day and get the same X amount of time. no longer and no shorter.

[cheuch]

nice video man

[AndreiWarrior12]

Balanar is simply the best ganger , the best slower and the best silencer. My favourite hero. :D

AndreiWarrior12

[aerizs]

it was ezalor that teleport him from base

[yorugitta]

+BaLanaR the king.

[yorugitta]

1st song: X Ray Dog - Tronica

2nd song: Pendulum - Propane Nightmares

[qweetingran]

how do u do the last part..

ur teleporting while running..

what version is that..

[AsuraSKIes]

it was pure magic :DD

kotl did it not balanar

[thelamegenius]

Nice video!!! make more!!!

[BlackFata077]

your the first pro balanar video:)

im waiting for your next vid:)

[DetonatorDog]

Actually Boots+Bottle (+Wand) is nearly the best choice for ganking in the night because you can refresh your mana by passing the rune spots with your insane speed. And Aghanimns is a choice now, too. But I agree with the rest of the stuff^^

[kna3an]

best ganker <3

[leonheart00000]

my buiLD : cuirass, DEso, BatLfry, bOT, bKb, VLad or HoT

[zeretulfenix]

wht song is tis?

[lmwlmwjhjnlmw]

Will this Item Build work:

Strength Treads.

Cranium Basher.

Black King Bar.

Butterfly.

Sange and Yasha.

Bracers.

I want to know a great Item Build for Balanar, because I want to show my Dota-pro cousin how good I am XD

[wertyman05]

When im using Balanar my item build is:

Bracer

Cranium Basher

Satanic

MKB

BattleFury

Sange And Yasha

But i amm not good in farming... but when the night fall i usually make heroes as creeps...heheehe

[airzman22]

yeah it will work.

id like to see you farm it up though.....

and he has mana problems...void + silence = to much mana to use.

[DetonatorDog]

Strength Treats: Of course

Cranium Basher: Wth? You have Void that is a bit waste

Black King Bar: Agreed.

Butterfly: For late late game.

Sange and Yasha: Oh my god. You have Void and insane movement speed at night already.

Bracers: 1 Magic Wand with a Point Booster for Aghanims later should work better. Ofc it isn't that cheap ^^.

[somethingno1has]

awesome vid man this really helped out alot

[KimDoeYoung]

Meh i love how people said he map hack. I guess no one ever know the thing called replay. It even proved he was using replay. check out 2:32 and so on. You can clearly see on the bottom right a slow down, a fast forword and a pause button. AND while in replay mode u can click to disable fog of war

[97432561]

LOL. thai people are best at playing dota??

[hate6663]

how did he teleport while moving

[BruTalRaDeoN]

It is a skill of Ezalor, the Keeper Of the Light.

When Ezalor uses his Ultimate skill, he gets two other extra skills, and one of them is Recall which, teleports any allied hero on the map to Ezalor. Hope thats helpful : ]

[mrmonk2000]

on of ezalors(kotl)'s skills when he's in ulti form. aloows tp to kotls position while the person is being tp'd but if he takes dmg then its cancelled

[kismet999]

i really don't like to play balanar until i saw this vid. great job, it actually made balanar a pretty interesting hero to play. :)

overall 5/5, the sounds were perfect for the vid. :)

[Iwantsanta]

i use SNY Buriza Sanatic Heart Threads And BKB

[5pid3y]

treads

[lmwlmwjhjnlmw]

@Iwantsanta LOL Threads... I know it was a typing mistake, but Threads XDDDD

[ForsakenMushroom]

well done man!

[BioLover1234]

my build here is

power treads(str)

bkb

Hot(for more hp)

sny or desolator depends on the enemy

aganims

mkb for atk speed and stopping auto cast

watz urs?? ^_^

[macmanx23]

what´s bkb?

[finalFanner]

Black king bar (BKB)

[DeadDeathz]

The hero im best at is Night Stalker yay =D.

YOU DON'T NEED SnY. You only need buriza, a Divine (Optional) and a desolater. I would usual buy a eye of skalti Since it helps alot (Especially when you are out of mana dude)

Last thing to buy is hyperstones. ( In night Godly,in morning godly too.

[Brausepeter]

Aha no SnY but eye of Skadi and desolator?do u even know how to play this game dude?stygian and eye dont stack on melee heroes and how about some lifesteal?if u take any orb exept then MoM or Satanic then Vladis would be good

[DeadDeathz]

MAN. This map is the old one dude. Next time,read a=everything. Old Map had the orb bug .

[MrJustforfun01]

LOL. Hes got a point. Thats a fact. SNY build is always good. It just suits Balanar. Plus it fits MKB. The faster you attack, the faster you get a chance to bash. You can use Deso if yer not using SNY. Just use Cuirass. DESO and CUIRASS is better. :D

@DeadDeathz: Orb Bug? LOL. It dont matter whatsoever. Its a bug of course.

[aeonjm131416]

@Brausepeter if you say that skadi does not stack with meele heroes then why does it stack with terrorblade even if he's not on metamorphosis?huh?

[TheMaykel14]

hey what items does he have???

[kennethvic]

Thanks for this vid!^^ It helps a lot! But is it better to use Sange and Yasha than Desolator?? (nosebleeding)

[FrozenIce51]

Desolator is way better then SnY for an orb. The only real thing you got from SnY is a few extra movespeed which you ALREADY have ;)

The 60+ and -6 armor is going to give you alot of attack power. And desolator is also 100g cheaper :P

[mitebg]

@FrozenIce51

SnY doesnt only give you extra speed..the most important effect is the maim lol... if you play against fast heroes with items that give them extra ms like yasha + phase boots or something,or heroes who slow you,void may not be enough to catch them,so SnY and vlado isnt such a bad build..

[MRMEEW]

@FrozenIce51 not true,desolator gives you dmg,and only dmg. ahead of MS is the agi gain,the str gain,the "slow" that sange deals when u attack. so a little life,agi,ms,slow is way better than +60 dmg.

[FrozenIce51]

Forgot to add, armlet helps your dps ALOT it's only 2850 gold, and it gives you +65 damage and +25 ias, coupled with some extra armor and burst +500 hp.

[OverDoseR187]

this is a replay....u can see invis units fog of war is off now

[FeeeLX]

how'd u see weaver after ur fear ended?

[SuperDog696]

Nice vid! It gave me more info on the strategy of playing him :)

[DemonicBuTCheR1]

O.O

you make a balanar totorial o.O

that profecional that you are

it is necessary to be very ignorant for not knowing the balanar skill... take hold a tutorial of the pudge when you have but time :O

noob =/

[n4ndo17x]

I'm sorry but I have to say it: YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE; he did a great job, especially for its editing; I bet many of the viewers disagree with your suckish opinion.

[Scorprynce]

great vid, i just love night stalker, pls add more vidoeos on dota!!

[deadsea2004]

ahgarim's scepter? get it after you get your core stuff... its kind of a luxery item, since it just improves your line of sight greatly. my build of balanar(he is a really imba hero, play him):

Power treads

Vlads

Strygian Desolator

Basher

Ahgarim's scepter

heart

reply if you have any betetr builds. =D

[XxJackTheRipper23xX]

Desolator? Why not S&Y. I know the Corruption stat of deso, but S&Y improves attack speed and movement speed and slow. Try Basher, Hyperstone x2, Madness and MKB for fun! LOL! tried it. It was awesome!!

[haakondafo]

Y I play him alot 2. I use

Treads

Vlads

SandY

Basher

HoT

Buriza

[silvo0]

treads now dont give attack speed... You can do phase boots but the hero loose some str ... I dont know if the damages he earns is as good as the str he could have

[Gunymp3]

Well 10 strength and 190 hp imo is better than 30%as.Better go for a hyperstone and some bracers if you need hp.

[leightviewer]

Dude, what's the opening song called?? Like it..

[drieske333]

When Ezalor uses his ulti, he can use some kind of return skill to warp you to him while you're doing your thing. It's one of the two extra skill he gets when he uses his ulti, other is some kind of pushback light skill.

[spkillerzX]

ezalor's ulti allows him to set the Iluminate skill, without channeling there, letting an illusion, he algo gains 2 skills, a friendly teleport, which (speed depending on ulti's level) teleports him right next to you. he also gains a sort of explosion, which pushes enemy's back, and reduces their accuracy 80%

[GaJolMr]

I have to ask, would you get the ultimate upgrading staff?

[hvovovivhofvhv]

2 bracers, boots of speed, Black King Bar, power treads ( or boots of travel) , Burize-do Kyanon

[kozakage]

Yeah...I'd like to know as well. It's pretty kickin.

[darkelvemod]

intro song name?

[PwnsterNub]

FANTASTIC-LY MADE

[lumpiako]

my fav hero in dota balanar the night stalker

[Svampebob1337]

Best item on balanar - Aghanims scepter gives you both mana and a sick vision of other player in the night ;)

[darkelvemod]

Balanar can use Aghanim?

I think no la.. it only improve ultimate.

[TereckxD]

Best Items Build:

1. Bracer x2

2.Power Treads

3.Sange & Yasha

4. MKB

5. Buriza..For more Ownage / Heart of terrasque for HP boost as well as attack bonus for strength heros.

[yulatheterror]

great video. how did he teleport while moving?

[yulatheterror]

nvm i know the answer

[Cless7]

Kotl's Recall(only durring kotl's ult form) ability makes it he can recall any ally to him as long they dont they dont get hit with in their next 5?6?7?(not sure on the time i dont play kotl) seconds

[imoutydoors]

keeper of the light has a move where when he goes into spirit form he can tp allied heroes to his position on the map. you will notice that he is there with balanar back at base when he gets tp-ed in.

[cecopek]

just Keeper of the Light

[Antonidas000]

miralo al pendejo usando map hack (4:20-4:24) para ganar, pobre perdedor

[Wc3Addict20]

IDIOT its not MH since he wasnt hit by that guys ww it is most probably that he went straight so he followed there and was rdy to use void!

[Stefangerrard]

can you tell me what to buy if i were this guy?

[yulatheterror]

its in the video

[napalman21]

una pregunta, comohace uno para poner la camara del juego desde arriba como se muestra en el video en 2:38????

[RedGrobo]

Not bad but you left out what seperates the menfrom the boys with bala. Farmng with lvl 1 void (last hits.) for the first night.

And bala needs a bottles, bot salve.

other then that a good intermediate bala guide.

[xiaornb]

Also, there is a better way to play NS with a LEVEL3 Darkness. That is, during the Night, activate LEVEL3Darkness and you'll actually realise that after the night (after darkness' night + normal night), your LEVEL3 Darkness is ready to cast again. Hence, you can dominate the game to the fullest by using your skills. That's another way to play a good NS.

[xiaornb]

You didn't mention some mind games as well. For e.g, if a solo oppo have a half hp but with a TP on him, dont ever void him first because he can TP with a last hit hp (probably?). So to think and play intelligently, you have to think about the near future. So wad the NS player have to do is to hit couple of hits till the HP drops to 400~450 then use void and hit afew more. That's how professional plays. No offence, just to add in afew more tips. Great vid animation btw.

[kozakage]

Void is a ministun....it knocks him out of the tp moron.

[darkelvemod]

yup right.

[xiaornb]

precisely wad i've said, you have a problem in understanding? Read through again before saying people moron when you're the one. I'm the one who said that the guy can tp straight after the void and i asking him not to do that, moron.

[Kerpal15]

as a weak you could count: no stun, aoe skills

and as a pro (since 6.60):impressive vision at night with agha

[rileyxile]

He isnt meant for mass team battles such as the well known es/enigma/etc. Balanar is a one-man-ganker (although teamates are useful ofc), and his skills synergize perfectly in my opinion...

[hubasddsa]

rly nice video. well edited.

5* and subscribed!

watch my videos and subscribe back ;D

[zidane2656]

1st song: X Ray Dog - Tronica

Balanar has something special in DotA...

He is defferent than any other hero...

You can feel it when you play with him...

[LutMcGregor]
