[Top 15] Dota 2 Best Heroes For Farming Gold Fast (7.33b)

Gold remains an important asset in Dota as it is the gateway to acquiring items and getting ahead in terms of net worth as well as having an edge over your enemies. Most fast-farming heroes are essentially the core heroes who are tasked with dealing the majority of the damage in a fight. If you or your team lack in terms of net worth, then you may find it hard to close out a game or even find it hard to find equal footing. Hence, it is important to have at least one hero who can steamroll through the game and farm faster to be in an advantageous position in the late game. 

The absence of a relevant farming hero may be disadvantageous for your team, as the enemy team may have a pusher hero who may effectively ruin your game. We bring you the Best 15 Heroes for Farming in the current meta who can snowball effortlessly. 

15. Templar Assassin

Image

Templar Assassin, the guardian of the temple’s secrets is a lethal force to be reckoned with. She deals some heavy damage while taking barely any in return if she has the Refraction shield on. Laning versus most DoT is quite the task for Templar as she has a very short attack range, making it easy for them to spam spells and deny her the farm. Most experienced TA players occasionally disappear into the jungle to stack and farm as soon as they have the levels and farm. Various heroes can cripple under the pressure of Templar once she has the items.

Why is Templar Assassin a Fast Gold Farmer? 

• Refraction is a valuable form of defense against enemy spells and damage.
• Psi Blades deals pure damage and spills over instantly. 
• Immense slow from Trap which can be used to neutralize enemy targets by crippling their movement speed.
• She does not fall off in the late game due to her immense damage.

Best 5 End-Game items to buy on Templar Assassin

• Desolator - Provides increased damage along with armor corruption on physical attacks. It can also gain stacks and increased the mentioned perks with the increase in stacks. Desolator is ideal to mow down squishy enemies.
• Blink Dagger - On cast, Blink transports you 1200 units in the distance you are facing, can’t be used for 3 seconds if you take any form of damage. Blink is used to close the gap and to get on top of enemies, or it can also be used to escape away from them.
• Daedalus - Provides a chance to do immense critical damage upon physical attacks.
• Black King Bar - Provides magic immunity upon usage, making Templar invulnerable during team fights. It is essential in most matchups as she has low magical resistance. It also applies a basic dispel upon usage.
• Monkey King Bar - Provides a chance to truly strike upon physical attacks while also providing increased damage to Templar Assassin.

Templar Assassin is strong against

• Shadow Fiend - Shadow Fiend's fragility and lack of a natural escape mechanism make him a great target for Templar Assassin's Meld.
• Zeus - Zeus is a rather squishy hero, falling easily to Templar Assassin's high burst damage.
• Puck - Puck high magical burst is almost completely useless against Refraction. Templar Assassin often buys Orchid Malevolence to render Puck useless in teamfights.

Templar Assassin is weak against

• Windranger - Windranger's Focus Fire tears apart Templar Assassin's refraction very quickly and easily burst her down due to her low health pool against Windranger's immense attack speed.
• Leshrac - Pulse Nova can easily burn Templar Assassin's Refraction charges quickly, and can also hit her with her  Meld.
• Dragon Knight - The damage over time from Dragon Knight's Elder Dragon Form rapidly burns down Refraction, allowing him to attack her.

14. Axe

Image

Axe is the go-to offlaner if you are facing melee carry heroes. He is known to be an exceptional laner against squishy and melee heroes as his Counter Helix does a great job of culling them down in no time. Most opponents find it hard to lane against Axe as they are constantly harassed and shoved off the lane with both Battle Hunger and Counter Helix. Axe is heavily relevant through the late game as he has high armor and HP, and does not falter easily. He can always jungle to acquire his Blink if he somehow has a difficult laning phase.

It takes nothing but one Blink Call for a decently farmed carry hero to succumb to the damage of Axe. Most carry heroes simply can’t do much to Axe when he obtains items like Black King Bar and Blademail, rendering their game quite useless. As the warmonger is tanky, his enemies have no choice but to ignore him in teamfights, while also making sure they aren’t sticking together due to the threat of Call. The game can essentially be decided with just one Blink Call, a combination that keeps this hero as relevant as ever.

Why is Axe a Fast Gold Farmer?

• High armor and HP right from the laning phase, making him the tanky initiator and frontliner in fights
• Axe can both farm and be dominant in the lane if he has a decent laning partner. Synergy goes a long if you want to excel with Axe.
• Axe also can farm quickly with his Counter Helix, allowing him to acquire items quickly and dunk on his enemy team!
• He is powerful right from the laning phase if he manages to get enough farm or net a few kills on his laning counterparts

Top 5 End Game items on Axe

• Blink Dagger - On cast, Blink transports Axe 1200 units in the distance he is facing, can’t be used for 3 seconds if he takes any form of damage. Blink is used to close the gap and get on top of enemies and use Call, or it can also be used to escape away from them.
• Black King Bar - Provides magic immunity upon usage, making Axe invulnerable during team fights. It is essential in most matchups as he has low magical resistance. It also applies a basic dispel upon usage.
• Blade Mail - Allows Axe to return the damage dealt to her from all sources. Axe benefits massively from this item as he can use Call and Tank with this item. If you are facing heroes with high physical or magical damage, then this is the right item for you. 
• Shiva’s Guard - Upon activation, it deals damage in an AoE, slowing down the affected targets. It also provides increased armor and reduces enemy armor in an AoE. It is essential if Mars faces other tank heroes.
• Force Staff - Allows Axe to force himself or the targetted unit 600 units ahead in the direction they are facing. It is quite essential in catching or escaping from heroes as it does not get disabled on physical attacks like the Blink Dagger.

Axe is strong against

• Abbadon - Aphotic Shield does nothing against Berserkers Call and has to be used constantly to remove the very small mana cost of Battle Hunger in the lane.
• Anti-Mage - Berserker's Call is one of the most reliable ways to lock down Anti-Mage, preventing him from blinking away.
• Dazzle - Culling Blade ignores the protection from Shallow Grave and will kill any target whose health is low enough. 

Axe is weak against

• Doom - Infernal Blade's damage is calculated by the percentage of maximum health, meaning that it will hurt Axe more than most normal attacks, negating some of his durability.
• Jakiro - Ice Path is a great stun for Berserker's Call and Eul's Scepter of Divinity can catch Axe off guard.
• Outworld Destroyer - Astral Imprisonment is an excellent way to defend against an initiating Axe.

13. Doom

Image

The harbinger of bad news, Doom is a devastating enemy if you are playing a squishy carry hero. This demon has sent countless of his enemies to the realm of hell, and frankly, any hero in this patch is no exception! His abilities are highly lethal, as they deal high damage right off the bat. He is considered to be a great counterpick in the offlane regardless of the hero picked, due to the high early-game damage. The Infernal Blade damage and disable coming from his eponymous ultimate is the stuff nightmares are made of!

Doom’s high base armor provides him sustain while fighting or jungling. Doom is known to farm effortlessly right from level one, courtesy of Devour. He is regarded as one of the most deadly disablers in the current meta. Spell-casting heroes hate disabling as it makes them unable to cast any spells, rendering them useless in fights. All it takes is one Blink and Doom to get the puny enemy carry out of the fight, as most of them virtually have no way to counter Doom for a very long time.

What Makes Doom a Fast Gold Farmer?

• Devour kills creeps instantly, granting gold and him the abilities of the creep.
• High strength gain and base armor, making it easy for him to jungle without taking much damage.
• Scorched Earth deals massive AoE damage which accelerates his farming speed.
• The ultimate Doom is great against mobile/slippery heroes as it silences and mutes them while making them take damage over time.

Top 5 Best End-Game items for Doom

• Shadow Blade - Provides invisibility on the cast which can be used to escape or set up on enemies with his ultimate, Doom.
• Blink Dagger - On cast, Blink transports you 1200 units in the distance you are facing, can’t be used for 3 seconds if you take any form of damage. Blink is used to close the gap and to get on top of enemies, or it can also be used to escape away from them.
• Shiva’s Guard - Upon activation, it deals damage in an AoE, slowing down the affected targets. It also provides increased armor and reduces enemy armor in an AoE.
• Black King Bar - Provides spell immunity from all enemy magic damage spells, making him invulnerable in the fight
• Refresher’s Orb - Can refresh spells and items and use them again in quick succession to delete enemies from the fight

Doom is strong against

• Tinker - Tinker is heavily dependent on active abilities and Doom prevents him from using any of them.
• Spectre - Doom can entirely disable Spectre from a teamfight. 
• Arc Warden - Arc Warden relies on items and abilities, as well as his Tempest Double, to deal damage to enemies. Doom effectively denies that and makes Arc Warden useless in fights.

Doom is weak against 

• Lifestealer - Rage allows Lifestealer to become spell-immune to negate the magical damage of Infernal Blade and Scorched Earth.
• Medusa - Doom does not disable Mana Shield. As such, Doom's damage is largely mitigated by her mana shield. Additionally, Medusa is not reliant on her abilities to be effective during a teamfight, making Medusa an unproductive hero to target.
• Phantom Lancer - Phantom Lancer's illusions can make it difficult to Doom the original. Should Doom figure out the original hero, the illusions can make it difficult to cast any abilities, as their hitboxes can be used to body-block the Phantom Lancer.

12. Ember Spirit

Image

Behold the wise Xin! The humble Ember Spirit is widely regarded as one of the best mid-heroes in the game. He is known to build into many different routes, making him a flexible pick against pretty much all the heroes. He is also known to farm comparatively faster due to his wide range of AoE abilities, which combined with his ultimate ensures his menacing global presence, scaring his allies off and making them vulnerable. Ember is not a common sight in the current patch, but in certain matchups he makes it feel like a cakewalk!

The fiery spirit of this Ember is unparalleled and it is not a surprise that he is back into the meta! Ember is an exceptional counter to most enemies, due to his immense physical damage as well as his mobility which allows him to chase and further lock the enemy down. Being in a pure 1v1 matchup, especially against ranged heroes can be a hard task, especially in the late stages of the game, but Ember defies all odds and is considered to be a great counter to enemies simply due to his AoE damage output along with the ability to soak up some serious damage. His flexibility allows him to obliterate even the creme de la creme of mid-heroes quite effortlessly.

Why is Ember Spirit a Fast Gold Farmer? 

• Multiple builds can be utilized as per the game i.e. Physical, Magical, or Hybrid.
• Ember Spirit can close the distance between his foes easily with his Activate Fire Remnant and further keep them in place with Searing Chains.
• With the help of Aghanim's Scepter, his enemies cannot outrun Ember Spirit or chase him

Best 5 End-Game items to buy on Ember Spirit

• Mjolnir - Exceptional for pushing lanes and farming quickly.
• Shiva’s Guard - Can effortlessly push lanes and provides increased armor.
• Blademail - Reflects enemy damage upon activation.
• Aghanim’s Scepter and Shard - Provides increased charges to Remnant, along with increased range and speed.
• Black King Bar - Provides spell immunity, negating all the slowness and magical damage being dealt by enemies while making him invulnerable in teamfights

Ember Spirit is strong against

• Bloodseeker - Fire Remnant allows Ember Spirit to escape Bloodseeker while Ruptured.
• Templar Assassin - Templar Assassin has no inherent way to prevent Ember Spirit from escaping, a good Ember player also will be able to dodge her meld attack.
• Zeus - Zeus laning against Ember is going to be punished with Sleight of Fist due to his low health pool.

Ember Spirit is weak against

• Shadow Fiend - Shadowraze can easily remove the protection from Flame Guard and kill Ember Spirit due to his low health.
• Faceless Void - Chronosphere is also a reliable lockdown for Ember Spirit, although it can be evaded sometimes by Activate Fire Remnant. Additionally, Void can easily negate Sleight of Fist damage with Time Walk.
• Outworld Destroyer - Astral Imprisonment fully negates all magic damage of Flame Guard and Searing Chains and will temporarily save himself from Sleight of Fist's physical damage, and Ember Spirit is not a hero that can counter these skills.

11. Medusa

Image

The stone-cold, serpentine warrior is quite a hard nut to crack, her identity and prowess cement her as one of the most lethal and tanky carry heroes in the game. Medusa is an ultra late-game hero, even if her early game is disastrous, she can bounce back and turn the game around just with one fight. Her tankiness allows her to be the center of the fight without worrying much about her enemies, which she can still crack down on thanks to her immense attack damage. If not ganked, she can perpetually farm and destroy all enemies and win the game even in a 1v5 situation. 

Medusa is known to farm faster than most carry heroes. Agreed, some heroes have higher mobility than her, but Medusa has sustainability and effective damage, making her an ideal hero in the later stages of the game due to how well she fares against multiple heroes. This is something that squishy carry heroes can’t excel at. All the attack modifiers and damage are too hot for the enemy team to handle even in the late game, making most players eventually tap out against this serpentine warrior.

Why is Medusa a Fast Gold Farmer? 

• Medusa also builds tanky items, increasing her HP and her armor.
• Thanks to Splitshot, Medusa farms quickly compared to her counterparts who need way more time to fight and come online.
• With the new update, Medusa barely takes any damage thanks to her reworked mana shield, making her a tanky carry hero.
• Medusa’s ultimate, Stone Gaze, is highly useful right from the early levels as it makes her a reliable fighter who can fight or escape with no difficulty.

Top 5 End Game items on Medusa

• Eye of Skadi - It reduces HP regen and healing upon physical attacks from Medusa. It helps reduce enemy regen. Eye of Skadi also provides increased stats and HP to Medusa. 
• Butterfly - Provides increased evasion, agility, and movement speed. It is an essential item that increases Medusa’s survivability in the late game.
• Daedalus - Provides a chance to do decent critical damage upon physical attacks.
• Hurricane Pike - Pushes Medusa and targeted the enemy 450 units away from each other, and for 6 seconds, allows her to make 5 attacks against the target without range restrictions and with +100 attack speed. It is an essential team-fighting item on Medusa.
• Satanic - When activated, it allows Medusa to lifesteal 200% upon physical attacks and allows sustain herself in teamfights. This item also dispels any negative buffs, quickly life-stealing from 0 to 100 in no time. 
• Monkey King Bar - Gives increased physical damage and also provides a chance to true strike on physical attacks.

Medusa is strong against

• Enchantress - Enchantress often has a small army of neutral creeps, allowing Medusa to hit her with a later bounce of her Mystic Snake.
• Necrophos - Mana Shield tanks most of the damage from Reaper's Scythe; with sufficient mana, the kill threshold drops significantly.
• Enigma - Medusa's Split Shot can kill Demonic Conversion creeps easier and Mystic Snake bounces off from them.

Medusa is weak against 

• Anti-Mage - Mana Void is effective against Medusa's big mana pool and mana usage, presenting a huge hazard to Medusa's allies around her since her Mana Shield still gives her some protection if she has mana.
• Nyx Assassin - Level 4 Mana Burn burns Medusa's mana every 5 seconds if Medusa only increases her mana pool with intelligence. Additionally, 70% of the Mana Burn damage gets mitigated by Mana Shield, burning even more mana.
• Invoker - EMP is a large mana burn nuke that can hit Medusa's Mana shield with enough damage to lose even more mana.

10. Sven

Image

Sven, the rogue knight, is a deadly carry hero who deals ungodly physical damage. His toolkit allows him to lock down enemies or charge at them with increased movement speed, making it impossible for them to escape his wrath. Sven's abilities are enough to dominate the battlefield, with items only complementing his strength in team fights. Sven’s pub appearances were low before this patch, but with the buffs to his cleave and ultimate, he has quickly risen through the ranks as one of the most-played carry heroes in this meta.

There are several reasons why Sven is considered a powerful carry hero. His kit allows him to dominate and lock down even the toughest enemies, while his farming ability and item progression enable him to gain a significant advantage as the game progresses. Sven is capable of taking on entire teams by himself, especially in the late game, making him a nightmare for weaker opponents. His strength lies in his ability to face multiple heroes at once without crumbling, thanks to items like Satanic, Daedalus, and his massive physical damage.

What makes Sven a Fast Gold Farmer?

• Aghanim’s Scepter allows him to pounce on enemy heroes and stun them at the same time, a great gap closer.
• His cleave is great with God’s Strength which can mow down heroes easily.
• Sven is frequently picked in pro games due to his versatility and ability to adapt to different situations.
• His abilities allow him to lock down and charge enemies with increased movement speed, making it difficult for them to escape.
• Sven has the toolkit to dominate the battlefield and fight multiple heroes at once.

Top 5 Best Endgame items for Sven

• Overwhelming Blink - Increases Sven’s strength and deals damage in an AoE that deals attack and movement speed slow to enemies, while also making them take 150% of his strength as damage. 
• Assault Cuirass - Immense armor gain also reduces enemy armor at the same time 
• Daedalus -  Daedalus allows Sven to deal critical damage. This high damage will enable him to be a devastating hard hitter, as he can also solo kill and does not always need follow-up from his team due to the items he has built earlier.
• Black King Bar - Provides magic immunity upon usage, making Sven invulnerable during team fights. It is essential in most matchups as he has low magical resistance.
• Bloodthorn - It silences the targeted enemy for 5 seconds, making them take 30% of the total damage dealt during the silence. The attacks will also have True Sight, and deal critical damage under its duration. Sven prefers this item as it provides him with much-needed disables in the early game

Sven is strong against

• Broodother - Great Cleave clears Spiderlings quickly to increase gold income.
• Meepo - Cleave will demolish Meepo's clones. Against a closely packed group, Sven does not even need to target the clone with the lowest health.
• Phantom Lancer - Storm Hammer's AoE stun will hit Phantom Lancer and his illusions.

Sven is weak against

• Axe - Berserker's Call prevents Sven from bursting his targets before Axe can interfere. The worst kind of opponent for Sven is one who can stop him from attacking who he wants to, which is exactly what Axe does.
• Medusa - Mana Shield makes it very hard for Sven to burst her within Storm Hammer's stun duration.
• Templar Assassin - Sven has no easy way to burn Refraction charges and needs help from teammates to kill TA successfully.

9. Monkey King

Image

Monkey King is a powerful carry hero who can dominate games with his mobility and burst damage. His toolkit includes an incredible amount of mobility that allows him to evade incoming attacks while simultaneously dealing out massive damage with his Jingu Mastery. Monkey King's Boundless Strike ability can be used to initiate fights and control the battlefield while his ultimate, Wukong's Command, can turn him into an unkillable clone army. He is a popular choice in both competitive and pub games in the 7.33 meta due to his massive buffs.

One of the main reasons why Monkey King is a powerful carry hero is his mobility and fight potential. He can be played as a roaming carry, making him a versatile pick for any team composition. Additionally, he is a strong laner and farmer, allowing him to gain an early advantage over his opponents. Monkey King's ultimate is especially potent in team fights, as the clone army can absorb incoming attacks and deal significant damage. He is a hero that can easily snowball out of control and take over a game, making him a nightmare for any unprepared enemy team.

Why is Monkey King a Fast Gold Farmer? 

• Monkey King has a versatile toolkit that allows him to initiate, escape, and deal significant amounts of damage in team fights.
• His Boundless Strike ability deals massive critical damage, making it an excellent tool for bursting down enemy heroes.
• His ultimate, Wukong's Command, also provides him with additional armor and magic resistance, making him extremely difficult to take down during team fights.
• With his Tree Dance ability, Monkey King has massive mobility and can easily move around the map, gank unsuspecting enemies, and escape danger.

Top 5 End Game items on Monkey King

• Eye of Skadi - Causes Monkey’s attacks to lower enemy attack and movement speed while reducing their health regeneration and lifesteal by 40%. It is exceptional if you are facing tanky heroes that regen or lifesteal fast. It also provides huge bonuses such as increased stats, HP, and Mana.
• Butterfly - Provides MK with 35% evasion and increased agility and attack speed. The evasion is highly useful in the later stages of the game to stand your ground. It is an essential item if Slark is facing multiple heroes with high attack damage.
• Black King Bar - Provides magic immunity upon usage, making Monkey King invulnerable during team fights. It is essential in most matchups as he has low magical resistance. It also applies a basic dispel upon usage. 
• Abyssal Blade - Stuns the targetted unit, it pierces spell immunity. Hence, it can be a useful item to temporarily disable any heroes under the effect of Black King Bar as it pierces spell immunity.
• Silver Edge -  Upon usage, it turns Monkey King invisible while increasing his movement speed. Attacking enemies will end the invisibility and will deal bonus physical damage while also disabling their passive spells. This item is good against heroes with OP passives like Bristleback, or Phantom Assassin.

Monkey King is strong against:

• Alchemist - Alchemist has very bad armor and does not build armor items for the large majority of his build, so Jingu Mastery and Wukong's Command can be very deadly.
• Drow Ranger - Monkey King can scout Drow Ranger's positioning from the trees and can jump on her without much trouble, disabling Marksmanship
• Faceless Void - Monkey King’s clones from Wukong’s Command and Aghanim’s Scepter are immune to Chronosphere, so it is a very bad idea to Chronosphere Monkey King with his clones around.

Monkey King is weak against

• Batrider - Firefly allows Batrider to gain vision of Monkey King while he is on a tree, as well as destroying any nearby trees, denying Monkey King spots to jump to, or causing him to fall.
• Beastmaster - Wild Axes can chop down trees, making it difficult for Monkey King to utilize Tree Dance well.
• Mars - Monkey King's natural reliance on trees makes him an exceptionally prime target for Spear of Mars. Should Monkey King use Mischief to disguise himself, it will still hit him, stunning him in the process.

8. Naga Siren

Image

Not even the water gods can handle the havoc of this breathtaking siren. Naga emerges from the deep seas as a beautiful yet threatening entity whose voice can cure the worst diseases! She deals some heavy physical damage right off the get-go, her looks can deceive you! Along with her damage, she can also lock enemies down with her net or the ultimate. You may pierce the ultimate with BKB, but with her Aghanim’s Scepter, you can’t pierce the net! She can pin you down and rip you into pieces with the assistance of her mirror illusions.

The devastating force of Naga Siren is felt from the mid-game as she acquires certain items which help her farm quickly as well as stand her ground, making her tanky. Naga indeed requires more of her items to have an impact, but when she does acquire those items, there is no way you can put an end to her destruction. She cuts deep and drowns her enemies with her Rip Tide. In the current meta, Naga has been the rage due to the buffs to Rip Tide and her ultimate, which make her a dominant force, as she is also seen in the pro games.

What makes Naga Siren a Fast Gold Farmer? 

• Naga Siren is an excellent farmer and can quickly accumulate gold by utilizing her illusions to clear multiple camps at once.
• Her ultimate, Song of the Siren, is a powerful crowd control tool that can disable enemies for a long duration, providing enough time for her team to set up kills or disengage from fights.
• Her illusions also provide a way to scout and provide vision, making it easier for her team to spot enemy movements and set up ganks.
• She can also split push with her mirror illusions, while she farms away securely in the jungle.

Top 5 Best Endgame items for Naga Siren

• Diffusal Blade - Slows down enemies by 100% upon casting and physical attack. It also burns their mana, making them useless as they are unable to cast any spells. 
• Butterfly - Provides Naga with increased evasion, agility, and movement speed. Butterfly essentially makes her untouchable in the late game due to the high miss chance and physical damage.
• Manta Style - Creates two illusions of Naga Siren on usage, also allowing him to dispel certain spells or dodge if he times it right. It can also be used to split push lanes and farm efficiently.
• Eye of Skadi - Reduces regen and healing upon physical attacks. It helps reduce enemy regen. Eye of Skadi also provides increased stats and HP to Naga Siren.
• Heart of Tarrasque - Provides increased health regen along with HP. Makes Naga highly tanky in the later stages of the game.

Naga Siren is strong against:

• Sniper - Ensnare with her attacks allows Naga Siren to gank Sniper easily, while Rip Tide removes Sniper's very little armor.
• Lone Druid - Unless Lone Druid purchases a Black King Bar for his Spirit Bear, Ensnare will easily kite the Bear.
• Lycan - Lycan is a hero focused entirely on single-target physical damage and lacks disables or AoE damage. Due to this, he will have difficulties dealing with illusions or Naga Siren's Ensnare.

Naga Siren is weak against:

• Earthshaker - Earthshaker's strong AoE abilities can clear Naga Siren's illusions, or at least make it easier to distinguish the real one by the damage they take.
• Lion - Both Hex and Mana Drain destroy Naga Siren's illusions in an instant, making it hard to team fight or push against a team with Lion. If Lion chooses the AoE effect talent for Hex or the shard for multi-target Mana Drain, it can negate her pushing potential entirely.
• Axe - Axe will destroy her illusions by proccing Counter Helix more often due to him being hit by more attacks.

7. Bloodseeker

Image

In 7.33, Bloodseeker is a lethal hero who can deal significant damage right from the laning phase, especially when paired with solid support. Even if the game does not go well, he can always retreat to the jungle where he can farm and sustain himself with his spells. Along with that, Thirst can reveal enemy heroes on low health, granting him increased movement and attack speed. Bloodseeker is one of those carry heroes who are powerful right from the early game and do not require multiple items to cause chaos in the game. This meta has seen immense buffs to his Aghanim’s Shard along with his ultimate, Rupture.

The cold-blooded hunter Bloodseeker is known for his mania and vigor. His blades cut deep into his foes, he leaves them bleeding and heavily wounded. He is a lethal force that can never go unnoticed. Bloodseeker can effortlessly jungle or lane, as he is blessed with high base armor as well as high attack speed. His passive sustain him in the lane, allowing him to play aggressively. He can gank other lanes with the availability of his ultimate, often removing heroes from a team fight. 

What Makes Bloodseeker a Fast Gold Farmer?

• Thirst provides increased movement speed and vision to hunt and kill low HP enemies.
• Gains a maximum of 25% of unit health as heal after killing them, which makes him sustainable as a carry.
• Massive AoE with Blood Rite, if used efficiently, can lead to both enemy and neutral kills. 
• High base attack speed is amplified by Bloodrage.
• Rupture can immobilize enemies in the early game, leading to their deaths within no time with ample follow-up from Bloodseeker’s allies

Top 5 Best End-Game items for Bloodseeker 

• Mjolnir - Provides a chance to do lightning AoE damage to enemies that attack Bloodseeker, while also dealing damage when he is attacking others.
• Black King Bar - Provides spell immunity from all enemy magic damage spells, making Bloodseeker invulnerable in the fight.

Bloodseeker is strong against

• Clinkz - Skeleton Walk is not enough to outrun Bloodseeker, and is detected by Thirst.
• Meepo - Bloodseeker can chase down retreating clones when Meepo tries to cycle weaker clones away from combat.
• Slark -Bloodseeker is one of the hardest counters to Slark. Thirst prevents Slark from healing in the lane with Shadow Dance and may set him up for a kill while in the jungle, or retreating.

Bloodseeker is weak against

• Tinker - Laser blinds Bloodseeker, preventing him from getting last hits and denies during the laning stage and preventing him from finishing off enemies.
• Faceless Void - Chronosphere prevents Bloodseeker from running down and picking off weak enemies during teamfights.
• Omniknight - Guardian Angel's near invulnerability denies Bloodseeker the bonuses from Thirst, preventing him from gaining the upper hand in teamfights.

6. Luna

Image

Luna, the Moon rider, is a popular hero for beginners and pros alike. Her farming abilities and massive AoE damage output make her a force to be reckoned with. Although laning can be tough for Luna, she can fall back on the jungle to farm with the help of her Moon Glaives and decent early-game damage. Luna is a great pick for dealing with hybrid damage as her ultimate Eclipse deals an ungodly amount of magical damage which complements her physical damage. In 7.33, we see Luna back in action as she is constantly picked due to the buffs to her ultimate and also to the general items she builds in the late game.

Luna's quick farming abilities and massive AoE damage output make her a prime pick for dealing with enemy heroes. She clears waves quickly, allowing her to farm and split push at an impressive pace. Other carry heroes often struggle to keep up with Luna if the game goes on for more than 40 minutes. Additionally, Luna can be paired with heroes who have massive crowd-control abilities, giving them an advantage over their weaker opponents.

What makes Luna a Fast Gold Farmer? 

• Lunar Blessing ability offers increased night vision and bonus damage for allies.
• Immense farming potential thanks to the Moon Glaives passive.
• Usually known for hitting the item timings early due to her incredible farming speed.
• Luna has high armor and HP for an agility hero.
• Eclipse deals magic damage, which is essential for heroes with high armor/HP.

Top 5 Best Endgame items for Luna

• Eye of Skadi - Reduces regen and healing upon physical attacks. It helps reduce enemy regen. Eye of Skadi also provides increased stats and HP to Luna.
• Satanic - Provides increased lifesteal on physical attacks upon activation and also provides basic dispel from the latter.
• Black King Bar - Provides spell immunity, making you invulnerable in the fight against magic spells.
• Butterfly - Increases evasion, agility, and movement speed. Butterfly essentially makes Terrorblade untouchable in the late game due to the high miss chance and physical damage.
• Manta Style - Creates two illusions of Luna on usage, also allowing her to dispel certain spells or dodge if she times it right. It can also be used to split push lanes and farm efficiently.
• Hurricane Pike - Allows Luna to close the gap and deal immense damage to enemies, also provides decent stats 

Luna is strong against:

• Arc Warden - Luna's short range and fast movement speed allow her to fight Arc Warden inside his Magnetic Field.
• Enchantress - Though Enchantress's  Untouchable can greatly reduce Luna's attack speed, and can go through any form of Spell Immunity, she has a pitiful HP so Lucent Beam and Eclipse can kill her very quickly.
• Arc Warden - Luna's Moon Glaives allow her to clear Arc Warden's Tempest Double.

Luna is weak against:

• Ancient Apparition - Despite Ancient Apparition's fragileness, he can easily harass Luna on the lane with Chilling Touch due to its high range and damage. This can get even worse if Ancient Apparition buys Aghanim's Scepter and combines it with items that can give him bonus attack damage and attack speed.
• Juggernaut - Both  Blade Fury and  Omnislash are direct counters to Eclipse, offering Juggernaut spell immunity and invulnerability. Therefore, Luna will need assistance in taking down Juggernaut as going solo will not be successful.
• Zeus - His highly damaging nuke spells with low cooldowns are not something Luna wants to go against.

5. Morphling

Image

In the recent meta, Morphling jas proved to be quite a lethal hero, which most people find hard to counter. As boring or complex as Morph may appear, he is a quite impressive right from the laning phase and stays relevant throughout the late game. Most people shy away from Morphling due to the complex nature of his abilities, but if you can master him, there is no way your enemies can have an upper hand! Morphling is a nuisance to enemy supports due to the infamous “shotgun” combo. Mastering Morphling requires quick decision-making skills, which only come with time and experience. 

Morphling can be an excellent addition to the team if you want a carrier that can fight from the get-go and is tanky. His physical damage ensures he can mow down enemies while also staying tanky enough with Attribute Shift. Everyone knows about the infamous Shotgun combo, which takes just two clicks to bring down the venomous beast. In the late game, enemies struggle hard to match Morphling’s pace as their damage simply isn’t enough to cause a dent in Morphling’s health pool (courtesy of Attribute Shift) Morph (the ultimate) can be used to give enemies a taste of their own medicine and have them taken out from teamfights.

What makes Morphling a Fast Gold Farmer? 

• Can “Shotgun” enemy heroes with the Adaptive Strike ability and Ethereal Blade.
• Morph allows him to turn into enemy heroes (or allies if you purchase the Aghanim Scepter), which can often lead to deadly combos or allow him to escape team fights.
• Can easily survive long team fights with the Attribute Shift ability.
• Attribute Shift ability makes him either gain strength or agility, both can be useful depending on the situation.
• Impressive level 1 attributes and stats, allows him to be extremely sustainable in the laning phase.

Top 5 Best Endgame items for Morphling 

• Ethereal Blade -  Upon usage, it disarms the targeted unit, making them take 40% more magical damage while also slowing them and dealing initial damage based on the enemy’s primary attribute. This combined with Adaptive Strike can devastate the targeted hero.
• Dragon Lance - It increases the attack range for Morphling while increasing his stats, allowing him to deal more damage and increasing his survivability. 
• Linken’s Sphere - Great spell block which blocks single-targeted spells and items
• Satanic - Allows Morphling to lifesteal on physical attacks upon activation, and also provides basic dispel from the latter. Great to sustain in the ultra-late game as you can be surrounded by multiple enemies at once. 
• Butterfly - Provides Morphling with increased evasion, agility, and movement speed. Butterfly essentially makes him untouchable in the late game due to the high miss chance and physical damage.

Morphling is strong against:

• Lifestealer - Lifestealer is a great target for Morphling to use Morph, as he can use Rage to gain spell immunity and a movement speed boost.
• Razor - Morphling can break Static Link with Waveform. Alternatively, Morphling can Morph into Razor and use the same ability against him.
• Phantom Assassin - Morphling's naturally high armor thanks to his high agility makes it hard for Phantom Assassin to take him down with Coup de Grace.

Morphling is weak against:

• Meepo - Earthbind disables Waveform, effectively keeping Morphling in place for an extended time, allowing Meepo to deal considerable damage with Poof.
• Ancient Apparition - Ice Blast stops Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) from recovering additional health, and using it will even bring Morphling closer to the shatter threshold.
• Anti-Mage - Mana Break combined with Manta Style can quickly burn away Morphling's mana, leaving him unable to use his spells. Black King Bar can no longer be reliably used against Anti mage due to its 50 mana cost.

4. Arc Warden

Image

Zet, the Arc Warden knows no bounds, his foes know no way of countering him, as there are often two of him. He is known to deal massive damage right off the bat, Arc secures the laning phase versus his opponent. He is also a quick farmer, as he can just duplicate and make his clone push out the lane while he farms the jungle. Late-game Arc Warden can disable and obliterate enemies within a few hits and clicks of spells.

With the help of his Tempest Double, Arc Warden can split push and control multiple areas of the map, forcing enemies to spread out and defend against his relentless pressure. And in team fights, he can deal massive damage with his spells and disable key targets, making him a force to be reckoned with. Arc loves items such as Manta Style, Orchid of Malovalence, and Silver Edge which provide him with the right balance of disable, escape, and stats which allow him to be a formidable force in the teamfight and stand his ground.

Why is Arc Warden a Fast Gold Farmer? 

• Arc’s abilities allow him to deal high amounts of damage to enemies, especially with the help of his magnetic field which provides a massive attack speed buff to himself and his illusions.
• Arc’s unique abilities also allow him to control the battlefield through his ability to trap enemies with Flux, slow them down with Spark Wraiths, and even create a temporary bubble of immunity to spells with his magnetic field. 
• He has strong defensive capabilities as well, with his Magnetic Field being able to create a shield that protects his allies from ranged attacks. 
• Arc Warden can scale well into the late game with proper itemization, especially with the right balance between farming and participating in team fights. 

Best 5 End-Game items to buy on Arc Warden

• Monkey King Bar - Gives increased physical damage and also provides a chance to true-strike on physical attacks.
• Eye of Skadi - It reduces HP regen and healing upon physical attacks from the Arc Warden. It helps reduce enemy regen. Eye of Skadi also provides increased stats and HP to AW. 
• Butterfly - Provides Arc with 35% evasion and increased agility and attack speed. The evasion is highly useful in the later stages of the game to stand your ground. It is an essential item if Arc is facing multiple heroes with high attack damage.
• Silver Edge -  Upon usage, it turns Arc Warden invisible while increasing his movement speed. Attacking enemies will end the invisibility and will deal bonus physical damage while also disabling their passive spells. This item is good against heroes with OP passives like Bristleback, or Phantom Assassin.
• Hurricane Pike - Pushes Arc and targeted enemy 450 units away from each other, and for 6 seconds, allows him to make 5 attacks against the target without range restrictions and with +100 attack speed. It is an essential team-fighting item on Arc Warden.

Arc Warden is strong against

• Sniper - Magnetic Field's evasion completely negates Sniper's attacks unless he has True Strike.
• Legion Commander - Magnetic Field prevents Legion Commander from getting wins with Duel.
• Terrorblade - Arc Warden’s Magnetic Field allows him to defend against Terrorblade if he used  Metamorphosis.

Arc Warden is weak against

• Broodmother - A good Broodmother looks to end the match early while Arc Warden, a very item-reliant hero, thrives in longer matches.
• Anti-Mage - Arc Warden's high reliance on casting abilities leads him to be dependent on mana, which Anti-Mage can quickly burn with Mana Break.
• Axe - The threat of a Blink and Berserker's Call may make the real Arc Warden stay further back, thus effectively halving the team's damage output for a while.

3. Terrorblade

Image

No other hero fills you with dread and terror as much as Terrorblade. Not all heroes can turn around a team fight like Terrorblade. The sheer power of Sunder is not to be underestimated. He has insane early-game potential, which also translates to the late game if he keeps farming at a similar pace. Terrorblade is highly relevant in the current patch as he has ways of farming fast, as he can split-push and retreat to the jungle if he has a tough laning phase. Terrorblade remains a dominant force, capable of turning the tide of battles with his item choices and impressive skill build.

Terrorblade’s item choices further amplify his terrifying presence on the battlefield. Dragon Lance enhances his already impressive attack range, allowing him to safely chip away at enemy defenses from a distance. Manta Style grants him additional illusions, increasing his damage output and creating chaos in team fights. The Eye of Skadi, with its potent slow effect, ensures that no enemy can escape his grasp, as his attacks can thoroughly impact the life of his enemies. These items synergize perfectly with Terrorblade's skill set, amplifying his early-game potential and sustaining his dominance into the late game. 

Why is Terrorblade a Fast Gold Farmer? 

• His Conjure Image ability allows him to create illusions of himself, which not only deal significant damage but also have the potential to push lanes.
• Terrorblade's immense farming potential allows him to quickly accumulate gold and experience, enabling him to become a formidable late-game carry.
• TB is excellent at pushing towers and racking up objective-based victories, thanks to his illusions and high physical damage output.

• Dragon Lance - It increases the attack range for Terrorblade while increasing his stats, allowing him to deal more damage and increasing his survivability. 
• Satanic - Allows Terrorbladeto lifesteal on physical attacks upon activation, and also provides basic dispel from the latter. Great to sustain in the ultra-late game as you can be surrounded by multiple enemies at once.

• Eye of Skadi - Reduces regen and healing upon physical attacks. It helps reduce enemy regen. Eye of Skadi also provides increased stats and HP to Terrorblade.

Terrorblade is strong against:

• Abbadon - Reflection will cause Abaddon to be afflicted by his own Curse of Avernus, silencing and slowing him. The reflection is also hard to avoid, as it cannot be killed, only dispelled.
• Ancient Apparition - Sunder is not affected by Ice Blast and will still swap health with any target as usual.
• Io - Terrorblade can easily take advantage of Io's weak durability with Reflection and  Metamorphosis.

Terrorblade is weak against:

• Crystal Maiden - Crystal Nova and Freezing Field can destroy Terrorblade's illusions from Conjure Image and Manta Style while it can also kill Terrorblade from early to mid-game if he has no Black King Bar.
• Dark Seer - Dark Seer's  Vacuum and Ion Shell allow him to clear a wave of Terrorblade's illusions.
• Earth Spirit - Magnetize Does heavy magic damage to Terrorblade and his illusions that bypasses his high base armor.

2. Alchemist

Image

Alchemy and greed go hand in hand for our fellow Alchemist. He controls the game with his powerful Orc who guides him around the battlefield. With his Greevil’s Greed talent, it’s expected that he has at least 2 items before the 20-minute mark in-game. With armor reduction from Acid Spray and Unstable Concoction, he can lock enemies down and give them a run for their money with his ultimate. His enemies find it quite impossible to out farm him, his pace is quite unparalleled if he is having a good time. With Greevil’s Greed now being an innate ability, Alchemist enjoys the surge of gold right from level 1.

Alchemist's potential is not only limited to his abilities but his items as well. With the help of Manta Style, he can dispel any debuffs or silence and create illusions to further confuse his enemies, Shiva's Guard gives him a powerful AoE slow armor, making it difficult for enemies to approach him. Overwhelming Blink is another great item for Alchemist, as it provides him with a long-range initiation tool, allowing him to catch enemies off-guard, deal damage to them, and take control of the fight. These items complement his abilities and make him an even more dangerous hero to deal with.

Why is Alchemist a Fast Gold Farmer? 

• Alchemist farms quickly due to innate ability, Greevil's Greed, which provides him with extra gold for every last hit. 
• He can scale well into the late game with his ability to gain bonus stats from his ultimate, Chemical Rage, making him an incredibly tanky and hard-hitting carry. 
• Alchemist's Acid Spray is a powerful AoE ability that reduces enemy armor and allows him to take down towers and objectives quickly if combined with Assault Cuirass or Shiva’s Guard. 
• He can provide utility to his team with powerful items such as Aghanim's Scepter, and Moon Shard.

Best 5 End-Game items to buy on Alchemist

• Radiance - Deals 60 damage per second in an AoE, while also causing them to miss 15% of their attacks. It also makes enemies miss 15% of their attacks. Radiance is an exceptional item on Alchemist as it allows him to deal high damage in fights and also farms fast with the help of his items.
• Assault Cuirass - Assault Cuirass grants increased armor and attack speed which makes Alchemist extremely tanky. It also reduces enemy armor in an AoE, increasing its threat potential.
• Shiva’s Guard - Upon usage, it emits a freezing wave that deals 200 damage and slows the enemy for 40% of their movement speed. This slow is impressive and lasts for 4 seconds. The increased armor and survivability ensure Alchemist stays durable in fights while reducing enemy healing in an AoE.
• Manta Style -  Creates two illusions of Alchemist on usage, also allowing him to dispel certain spells or dodge if he times it right. It can also be used to split push lanes and farm efficiently. It also provides him with increased stats, agility, and attack damage.
• Black King Bar - Provides magic immunity upon usage, making Alchemist invulnerable during team fights. It is essential in most matchups as he has low magical resistance. It also applies a basic dispel upon usage.

Alchemist is strong against:

• Doom - The health regeneration and bonus movespeed from Chemical Rage allow Alchemist to survive through Doom very easily.
• Broodmother - Alchemist's Chemical Rage nullifies Broodmother's, Insatiable Hunger.
• Nature’s Prophet - Acid Spray and Greevil's Greed will quickly destroy pushes with treants.

Alchemist is weak against:

• Axe - Axe can force Alchemist to attack him with Berserker's Call. High attack speed from Chemical Rage will cause Counter Helix to proc multiple times.
• Ancient Apparition - Ice Blast cancels out Chemical Rage's rapid health regeneration.  
• Necrophps - Ghost Shroud can prevent Alchemist from attacking Necrophos, as well as make him immune to Acid Spray and Unstable Concoction damage.

1. Anti-Mage

Image

Anti-Mage and his hatred for the arcane arts are unmatchable. He has what you need to split-push lanes which he can do effortlessly due to his farming speed. He is known to decimate his foes with both Mana Break and Mana Void. An early-game AM can effortlessly decimate enemy mana and make them retreat to base or waste gold to compensate. This will slow down their farm while AM is known to farm at a faster pace, allowing him to get ahead in the net worth within no time.

Most carry heroes tend to lose tempo in the late game while Anti-Mage only does swimmingly there by split-pushing lanes and essentially being everywhere on the map. Magic and spell-casting heroes stand no chance when a six-slotted AM pounces on them thanks to Blink and decimates them within no time. Without a doubt, something is soothing about witnessing a fully farmed Anti-Mage beat down his enemies with the help of Mana Void. He can essentially one-shot the entire enemy team if he catches them lacking in the mana department.

What makes Anti-Mage a powerful pusher? 

• He can split-push well and has immense mobility, allowing him to rat towers if needed.
• Can escape or initiate fights with Blink spell.
• Counterspell allows Anti-Mage to reflect spells and acts as a safety barrier in teamfights, while also making him take less magic damage.
• Mana Void and Mana Break work extremely well against spell-casting intelligence heroes, making it quite hard for them to stand their ground in teamfights.

Top 5 Best Endgame items for Anti-Mage

• Battlefury - Provides cleave on physical attacks which can be essential to split push and farm quickly. This cleave allows Anti-Mage to farm fast and essentially make the most out of his time if combined with his Blink spell.
• Black King Bar - Provides spell immunity from all enemy magic damage spells, making him invulnerable in the fight. It is always a top priority, as most seasoned players prefer to purchase the BKB right after the Battlefury
• Manta Style - Creates two illusions of AM on usage, also allowing him to dispel certain spells or dodge if he times it right. It can also be used to split push lanes and farm efficiently.
• Abyssal Blade - Upon cast, it stuns the targetted hero for 2 seconds. Can be used to quickly lock down enemies after blinking on top of them, allowing you to beat them down with the physical damage
• Eye of Skadi - Reduces regen and healing upon physical attacks. It helps reduce enemy regen. Eye of Skadi also provides increased stats and HP to AM.

Anti-Mage is strong against:

• Medusa - Anti-Mage easily destroys Mana Shield with Mana Break, especially once he has Manta Style.
• Ogre Magi - Ogre only deals magical damage, which Anti-Mage is exceptionally resistant to due to Counterspell.
• Rubick - Mana Break quickly eats away at Rubick's low mana pool, preventing Spell Steal abilities from triggering.

Anti-Mage is weak against:

• Disruptor - Static Storm stops Anti-Mage from Blinking.
• Grimstroke - A combination of Soulbind and Phantom's Embrace can prevent Anti-Mage from casting spells.
• Meepo - Multiple Earthbinds allow Meepo to lock down Anti-Mage almost indefinitely.
