RAZOR THE LIGHTNING REVENANT

INTRODUCTION

Firstly Razor is the pusher tower and Razor is not a traditional agility carry. But just forget about the old Razor with his useless, boring skillets. The new Razor is a fairly good lanner early, a true powerhouse mid-game, and a fairly strong carry (and anti-carry) in late game. He also the strong at all parts of the game, but he is a bit tricky to use and his playing style (or at least the one proposed in this guide) is risky but very rewarding. In this guide we will play Razor very aggressively. We will farm during the first game phase, and then in mid-game we will help in as the tanker pushes and team fights. We will try to absorb a fair bit of damage as a semi-tank and dish out a lot more in return. We will render the enemy's carry useless and be a force to be reckoned with late game. Razor can nuke, tank, tower pusher. The only things he can't do are disabling and initiating.

PLAYSTYLE

Razor's current playing style should be, as already mentioned, very aggressive. He should be farming throughout the game, but not hardcore carry style like Troll, or Void. He doesn't need a lot of items to be effective, but he does need some hp at least to function, and more items will increase his effectiveness as much as certain carries (meaning a whole lot). During the battle, he should be contributing DPS throughout the game (early with his nuke, mid and late with his attack and skill) and act as a huge distraction and as an aggressive semi-tanker mid-game onwards. He cans also tanking well with or without an ally. He also happens to be the strongest 1v1 hero in most situations in DOTA currently, with the ability to chase and finish people off with his eye of storm skill. He is very scary.
