The document provides a guide for playing the hero Mogul Khan in Dota 2. It discusses his strengths as being able to farm easily and have high base strength, as well as weaknesses of having no disables and low intelligence and intelligence gain. The guide recommends a skill and item build to focus on tanking damage through items like Vanguard and Hood of Defiance. It provides advice for different stages of the game, emphasizing farming early and joining fights to tank damage later. Good allies are those that can help with positioning, while bad enemies have long disables or strong nukes that bypass his tanking abilities.

Axe has a very high HP but very low on mana. there wouldn't be a problem on your HP once you activated your Soul Ring-if there are huge DPSers in the other team, get Blademail. but it also don't help that much. because of your core items and the armor boost of berserker's call, the damage returned is very small. therefore this item is not that much recommended, but still, not rejected-if you have money to spare, upgrade your Hood of Defiance to Khadgar's pipe of InsightChoice of BootsJustification:-Boots of Travel gives you greater moblity. you can go anywhere in the map for just 3 seconds every 60 seconds-Phase Boots gives you additional Movespeeed and the ability phase. though the additional damage doesn't benefit you-Power treads gives you bigger HP or Mana. though the attack speed doesn't benefit you-Arcane Boots gives more mana not just for you but for your team. helps you spam your skillsthe order which you're items will be bought is at your own decision. it depends on the game. remember, while playing DotA, you must be Flexible and Adapt to the game<br />V. Stategy<br />Early GameFrequently asked questionssolo, dual or trilane?whichever the team needs you to. you can go with any of thesepicking your laneusually taking top for Sentinel and bottom lane for Scourge. because it's too dangerous for your squishy allies to be near an enemy towerwhich partner?anyone except another tank and maybe your carry. because you will have to farm many gold for your coreLaning Phasejust farm in your lane as much as you could. just focus on last hitting and denying. you are strong in this phase of the game. but don't be overconfident because you MUST not die now in this phase. you can't afford to die at this point. as you can see, your core is a little expensive. once you hit level 6, call for your teammates and gankMid GameFrequently asked questionsdo i roam now?you may, but not too much. you can call for a gank at some moments. but not always.what will I do in clash?just tank as much as damage as you can. go to the center of the clash and cast Berserker's Call then let your teammates do the job of killingwhat will I do if i'm ganked?just relax, stay calm. you can take alot of damage. run to your nearest tower. then fight them. cast Berserker's Call. then cull if the opponent HP is lowGanking Phasestill, farm and farm until you reach your core items. but don't do it too much like, your teammates are in a clash. don't hesitate to help. don't focus on farming too much. this is called the GANKING phase. so you all need to be cautious. call missing heroes. and at this phase, you may let your carry farm and be at his side. in case of you both get ganked, cast Berserker's Call and let your carry escapeLate GameFrequently asked questionsI have all the items i needed. will i finish the game now or enjoy first?FINISH IT AS FAST AS YOU COULD. i know your hero is getting stronger and stronger in the late game. but your opponent carry might be getting stronger twice as you do. so finish it now or you'lll regret itmy opponent always kills me in this phase, what will i do?don't mind if you get killed a thousand times. that's why you're a tank. you take all the punishments that your teammate may get from the opponent.Ending phasestop farming. finish the game with all you got. you may tell your teammates to stick together in the mid lane(or any other lane with tower pushed. but mid lane is the best. because it takes lesser time for the creeps to reach the opponent base). while doing these and another lane of yours is pushed by the opponent, just let your teammate push the mid lane(or any lane that you have chosen a while ago). then you teleport to the lane which is pushed by your opponent. you can defend it just by yourself<br />VI. hero synergy<br />Good AlliesHeroes that helps you position well in combatif these heroes are your allies, try to lane with them. you may find it easier for you to net a kill. they position you, cast Berserker's Call, then beat them up for a killSupport heroes that helps you well in lanethis allies either help you push, or save your life. specially, they are item independent. a disciplined support user does not take away gold from heroes that needs to farm. which can let you have your gold needed for your core items.Bad EnemiesHeroes that have long disablesyou are a tank. you should help your allies by soaking up as much damage as you can. what can you do if you are disabled? nothing. so this heavy disablers are such a pain in the neckHeroes that have strong nukesyou are a tank that soaks us PHYSICAL damage. even if you have a hood. for them, you are just a hero that has a very large HP that eats up all their nukes.<br />
