Sand King

Sand King is a gank/initiation melee hero that utilizes his skills to disorient enemy heroes, rendering them less effective in battle while his allies finish the battle. While being a gank/initiator hero, he is also capable of pushing lanes with ease due to his passive, allowing for fast farming.

Basic Strategy

 * Blink Dagger is a commonly built item for Sand King, used to initiate after channeling your Ultimate.
 * The combo of Ulti+shift click blink is a formidable and a very strong way to enter team fights with the element of surprise and deal a ton of area of effect damage. Basically turning the tides of battle in your favour.
 * A full blast of Epicenter at level 3 will deal 1100 damage, easily crippling the opposing team
 * After initiating Sand Storm will protect you from auto attacks as well as deal damage to any enemy who stays in the area.

Trivia

 * In a very old version of Dota All Stars, there used to be a bug with Crixalis's Epicenter where at the last pulse it used to deal an ungodly blow of over 10,000 points of damage killing anyone in its reach, except the super beefed up Pudge that was used to measure the amount of damage dealt by the ability.
