1		E.T.C.	With Etc try not to get into his heroic ability Mosh Pit for you will be stunned and most likely be killed.

3			No Threat
4		Murky	For Murky just try not to stand in his Pufferfish when fighting him.
5			No Threat
6		Tychus	Watch out for Tychus's Frag Grenade and Overkill. I reccomend staying away from Tychus when he is Commander Odin Form because all of his abilities are aoe and will destroy you,but if he is low try and fight him because you wil mostlikely win.
7			No Threat
8		Nova	With Nova watch out early own because she will try to Snipe you (Mostly targeting Erik).
9			No Threat
10		Kael'thas	Watch out for his Flamestrike for it will do tons of damage to you and if he has the talent IgniteFlameStrike it might even kill you. With Kael'thas heroic abilities watch out for pyroblast and if you do get targeted by it split them up for it will save two of them. In this build you want to do this to survive.
10		Jaina	Try to stick away from her blizzard ability for it will absolutaly destroy you.
10		Zeratul	With Zeratul you just gotta have a keen eye to spot Zeratul first before he gets you. When you spot him you have a choice of fighting him or running,if you feel you can take him fight if you feel you can't run.
10		Sylvanas	Try not to engage her because of her silence i reccomend just letting other people fight her because of how much of a counter she is to you. If you do have to fight her try to split them up so it is harder for her to silence you.

The Lost Vikings: Top

Hail Might Keyboard Warrior!

The Lost Vikings Are 10k Gold

How They Play:

The major difference between and any other hero in hots is that they are three people in one. You can play them in different styles (Ex. Splitting them into one per lane,Splitting them to into 2 groups,All three of them in one lane you can push to all hell but is not recommended). They are all about collecting health pots(Because of their passive) so splitting is a good idea. are very good at soloing mercenaries with a good set up(Which I will get into detail later). With the right talents for they can be very strong all around!

Lore:

are back! While they briefly considered retirement after defeating the emperor Tomator, there were only so many polar bears they could wrestle before falling into a Nexus portal seemed like a solid life decision.

Skins:

Every 8 second Olaf can block a basic attack, reducing its damage by 75%.Can store up to 2 charges

After standing still for 3 seconds, Erik gains stealth and his sight radius is increased by 75%. The stelath persists for 3 seconds after moving.

Increase Baleog's splash damage on non-heroic enemies by 100%

Kill enemy minions to gain stacks of bribe. Use 40 stacks to bribe target mercenary, Instantly defeating them. Does not work on Bosses. Maximum stacks available 100.

Recommendations:
If you want go damage, defense I recommend for your first talent because normally people will target Olaf because he is the slowest. So this talent will help him in intiations too because for the first 1-2 hits he will take less damage which is very usefull. If you want to push you should go or . Personally I would go over because can clear Mercenary Camps pretty quickly as is and to me just isnt worth it because by the time you get enough stacks you could have already killed a Mercenary Camp. If you want to try to soak all three lanes you should go for it helps when micro-managing(You only have to watch 2 lanes instead of 3 becasue erik will be invisible and hard to spot if in a bush).

Baleogs basic attack and splash damage heal for 20% of the damage dealt. Healing is doubled agains Heroes.

Permanetly increases Erik's base movement speef by 10%, and as long as Erik is moving he heals 15 (+3 per level) health per second.

Baleog's basic attacks increase his attack speed by 8%, stacking up to 5 times. After 3 seconds of not attacking, these stacks will rapidly decay.

Seige and Bruiser Mercenaries near your hero deal 50% more damage.

How To Solo Mercs: Top

Seige Camps:

For this seige camp you want to try to have Olaf take all the damage and Baleog at an angle where he is hitting all three of the minions then have Erik off to the side having him attacking anyone of the minions.

Early Game: Top

are not to good early game because of their health and how they are easily targeted. They do have their upsides! For example they can solo mercenary camps at a low level which not many heroes can.

At this stage you want to collect as much health pots as possible so late game you have a lot of health per second.The most I have collected is 40 so 40-30 late game and it is game changing.

Mid Game: Top

are amazing mid game because with most of their abilities accessed they can do humongous amounts of burst damage to a hero at once

Late Game: Top

With the correct build are devastating in team fights and can turn the fight around
