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.
