Our featured guide this week is Existor 's "Evolve with Dehaka! Detailed all-talents guide" guide for Dehaka!


Existor has gone through quite a bit of work on this as there’s 7 different builds in this guide. From speed and cc focus to a build that improves upon Dehaka’s Drag ability. Each build is designed to give you that edge you'll need to combat different team comps or play styles.

I'd like to go through all tiers and explain why each talent can be good and in what situation. There can be multiple builds depending on your play style and what you want to do as well as what your team needs. Do you have lack of CC? Do you want to protect allies from heavy dive? Or trying to empower your ganks through Brushstalker and surprize stealth attacks? Or you maybe want to go full tank and become almost immortal.


Existor also goes into detail about each one of Dehaka’s abilities and gives some tips about how you can use them effectively in certain scenarios as well as some tricks about them.

Z - Brushstalker.

- with that ability you can jump across the map, you know that. Well, keep in mind, that you can simply recall to base, heal to the full and come back to fight almost instantly. It's like Diablo, but instead of dying you're just retreating at the right time, recalling, healing to the full and burrowing into the fight again.

- use it to scout enemy camps, sometimes enemy hero can be alone, have half health and here you go, you can snipe him and take camp. Just burrow to brush, wait a bit and do your stalker job.

- thanks to Brushstalker you can use fountains during laning phase and don't save them for teamfights around objectives, because it is faster and a lot better to recall to base, heal to the full and burrow back to fight rather than walk (mountless!) to nearest fountain and be healed only half of your health.


Like all good guides there’s a talent break down. Explaining how the talent works and in what scenario they works best in. As well as getting Existor’s opinion on which talent is good to take with which team comp and in what scenario it shines in.

Change Is Survival can be good, but in my opinion, you should know when to use it. Enemy still can shut down you during those 5 seconds at such stage of game (level 20, wow). So try to use Adaptation ultimate WHILE regeneratin from D-trait, otherwise smart enemies won't attack you or will focus heavily during those 5 seconds.



We hope you've enjoyed this guide, make sure to give it a try and let Existor know what you think!
