Helcurt: Shadow Bringer
The Shadow Bringer’s are a race of demonic entities who sold their souls for power. Helcurt, their leader is known as death incarnate, is a truly malicious creature with overwhelming power.
As a hero in battle, he is uniquely skilled at exposing the weaknesses of his enemies. Employing his incredible control over the space around him and the essence of darkness, he is a vicious assassin with a thirst for slaying his enemies, whoever they may be.
Skills
Passive Skill: Race Advantage
Helcurt’s passive skill allows him to silence any enemies who use skills on him. Race Advantage lasts for 1.5 seconds and has a cooldown of 4 seconds if the skill deals damage and can help Helcurt’s entire team.
Skill 1: Deadly Poisoned Stinger
Helcurt’s first skill passively gains poison stingers whenever he uses his basic attack, allowing him to store five at a time. He can then shoot these stingers straight away from him, dealing with the damage and slowing the affected target.
The more stingers he has stacked, the higher the damage dealt grows. This attack is twice as effective on enemy heroes as it is on creeps or monsters. If the attack is not used, the number of poison stingers will dissipate over time. However, when Helcurt’s ultimate is active, he won’t lose any poison stingers for as long as the skill persists.
Skill 2: Shadow Raid
The second skill, Shadow Raid, highlights the Shadow Bringer’s uncanny ability to move through space without a trace. This allows him to teleport in a designated direction and immediately deal damage to any enemy within range.
As with his passive, this skill silences the enemies struck by it, allowing his team to avoid the effects of crowd controlling heroes for a short period. If this is used simultaneously as Helcurt’s ultimate, he can also deliver a speed debuff to the affected opponents.
Skill 3: Dark Knight Falls
Helcurt uses Dark Night Falls as an ultimate skill. Every time Helcurt uses this ability, his attack speed increases permanently. With this skill, Helcurt can lower visibility for the entire enemy team for a period.
While the skill is active, the enemy team won’t have any markers on their mini-map, and their area of vision will be invaded by the darkness that sits around the edges, lowering the space where they can see and leaving them vulnerable.
Build
Emblem
To best support Helcurt’s skills, he will find the assassin’s emblem the most effective. To get the best results with this, he will want a build that matches. With strong physical attacks, he benefits from items that increase his attacking efficiency. He can also be built to increase his durability and gets boosts from cooldown bonuses and mana regeneration. Choose which one you want for the last one at the bottom as they are all good.
Items
or
- Endless Battle
- Swift Boots
- Blade of Despair
- Blade of Heptaseas
- Scarlet Phantom
- Berkser’s Fury
The item Endless battle increases physical attack and improves basic skill strength while offering a boost to health. This helps Helcurt’s strengths and weaknesses as he makes his way to the enemy base. He gets further increases in mana regeneration, lifesteal, movement speed, and cool down with this powerhouse gear.
The Swift Boots raise physical speed alongside attack speed, which is perfect for Helcurt to add a bonus to his ultimate skill and make his other attacks more effective.
Blade of Despair majorly increases physical attack and rewards the user with a speed boost.
When Helcurt uses Blade of Heptaseas, he will notice a hp gain and a massive boost in a physical attack. He also benefits from physical penetration and a strengthening of his basic attack if he avoids taking or dealing damage between its uses.
Scarlet Phantom increases physical attack and attack speed in addition to the effects of some of his other gear. It also improves his critical strike speed and strength.
Berserker’s Fury boosts physical attack and significantly improves Helcurt’s critical strike chance with his attacks.
Helcurt Information
This deadly assassin is heavily equipped offensively, making him a horror to come across on the battlefield. Despite this, his defenses and skills are merely at mid-level, making him more vulnerable to enemies that can exploit these weaknesses. His specialty is push and burst, which makes him equally useful in the jungle and the lanes.
He is impressively strong against monsters so that he can stack buffs, money, and levels with ease. He is also fast to take down turrets and can be a massive help in enemy fights, as long as he avoids being slain. Mastering him as a hero is averagely tricky, and the appropriate build will only increase his ease of use.
Gameplay
Helcurt’s best first move is to focus on his second attack, which is much more powerful when Jungling then his first. Grinding the smaller monsters and creeps will help him collect levels and money to gain more skills and gear quickly.
Getting his ultimate is a high priority so he can start stacking the speed boost early on in the game and help his allies as they battle enemies. As his strength increases, he will take on bigger opponents to stack buffs and help his team.
He can also take turns ganking into lanes to help take down turrets with his high hit power, but he should be careful when going up against enemies to avoid being slain. His attacks will be equally strong and fast by the end game, making them hard to avoid and survive.
With these, he can join in team battles and takedown or offer assists on multiple enemies at once. Letting him target enemies who may chase down retreating allies and then use his ultimate to escape himself, is an excellent way for him to support his team.
Creating perfect opportunities for partial blindness to give his allies the advantage will also be essential. He will want to watch the map to figure out when and where to strike to keep himself from reviving and his team in the lead. From here, taking down turrets, the lord, and even the enemy base is well within grasp, with Helcurt’s thirst for blood slaying him a victory.
