Ursa

Ulfsaar the Ursa Warrior, or simply Ursa, is a melee agility hero whose abilities increase his autoattack damage. He is famous for being able to solo Roshan at level 7 if he has Vladmir's Aura. Ursa is a carry who can snowball if he is farmed, but he is weak against nukers and heroes with evasion. He specializes in outputting damage against one target. His abilities allow him to attack at maximum speed (400 IAS) and gain bonus damage with each consecutive hit on a single target. With these abilities—Overpower and Fury Swipes—Ursa can autoattack Roshan or tanks for as much as 700 damage per hit. Ursa relies on autoattacks and has no escape abilities, which renders him vulnerable to disables and nukes. Because Ursa can kill most heroes early on in the game, Ursa is considered to be a "bad choice" by most opponents, and generally people who play Ursa will get flamed considerably if they choose Ursa.

Ursa is one of the simplest heroes in the game, but he requires some knowledge of target priority and team work to be most effective. He is recommended for new players.

Tips

 * Fury Swipes allows Ursa Warrior to solo Roshan relatively early.
 * Use Phase Boots to chase down heroes who try to run away from you.
 * Vladmir's Offering is a must have before taking down Roshan. It synergizes nicely with your Fury Swipes and Overpower abilities.
 * For a typical Ursa kill, make sure to apply Overpower and Enrage buff before engaging a target (using Blink Dagger to blink in front of a hero helps here), Earthshock your target, and use normal attacks to get a kill.

Trivia

 * Ulfsaar's alternate name was Fuzzy Wuzzy
 * In Dota 1, Ursa's Ultimate would do damage at the start of his attack animation.
 * Attack modifiers such as critical strike and bash cause Ursa's attack to not provide a stack of Fury Swipes.
 * Ursa's Ultimate spell Enrage along with Nightstalker's Darkness and Puck's Phase Shift are so far the only spells in DOTA 2 that do not require mana to cast.
