Gameplay
Batrider excels in his lane in the early game, and plays as a highly mobile, damage dealing Hero. His Sticky Napalm slows targets and increases his damage against them, and can stack up to 10 times. Once properly coated, Batrider can stun a target and leave them open with his Flamebreak, which knocks back and deals high damage. He can use this to clear out more dangerous enemies, and disrupt targets while he moves in for the kill. His last two abilities, Firefly and Flaming Lasso work best together. Firefly allows him to move over any terrain, leaving a trail of fire behind him that burns enemies and destroys trees. Flaming Lasso pulls the target enemy behind him and into his allies. When used together, it allows him to pull an enemy into his fire, igniting them, and dealing significant damage.
Batrider`s lane dominance comes from his Sticky Napalm, which makes last hitting a cinch, and Flamebreak, which knocks enemy Heroes away from the creep wave. He can also harass easily, by stacking Sticky Napalm on a target and either knocking them with Flamebreak, flying over them with Firefly, or by doing both to deal massive damage. His high attribute gains make him very dangerous, as he can not only tank a lot of damage, but can also output a lot with his large Mana supply. Batrider can also gank very easily, able to appear from anywhere with his Firefly ability, push an enemy with Flamebreak, and then immediately grab them with Flaming Lasso. In teamfights, he can also very easily isolate an enemy and remove them temporarily, while still dealing tons of damage to the enemy team by flying past with Firefly. He is not very item-dependent, only requiring a blink dagger to be effective, though greatly benefits from items that provide health “ Play Life becomes death becomes new life. As it should be.

- Flamebreak travels at a speed of 900 until reaching the targeted point.
- The projectile has 175 radius flying vision Vision changes around while the hero moves. Vision describes what a unit can and cannot see from its current location and state. Places a unit cannot see are filled with the Fog of War, a . This vision does not last.
- The knockback is not a set distance. It pushes every enemy so they are 400 ( 700) range away from the center of the targeted area. So the minimum knockback distance is 25.
- The knockback duration is always 0.25, so the speed varies between 100 (25 knockback distance) and 1600 (400 knockback distance) ( 2800 (700 knockback distance)).
- Enemies are not disabled during the knockback, and are, besides moving, able to act freely during it.
- Can push units over impassable terrain. Any tree a knocked back unit collides with gets destroyed.
- Applies a debuff to the affected targets upon projectile impact which deals damage in 1 second intervals, starting 1 second after it is placed, resulting in 4/5/6/7 total instances.

Flaming Lasso grabs both its target, as well as the target`s nearest allied hero within 400 range. The secondary target is tethered to the first. Also causes Flaming Lasso to deal 100 damage per second. Blocked fully only when primary target. When blocked, Batrider is not disarmed either. Flaming Lasso: Dispellable with strong dispels. Flaming Lasso Damage: Dispellable with strong dispels. Flaming Lasso Self: Undispellable. Notes:
- Flaming Lasso fully disables the target for its duration.
- Drags the targeted unit with a 300 distance behind Batrider. Despite the description, can drag the target over impassable terrain.
- If Batrider teleports a distance greater than 425, the lasso breaks.
- If the target gets teleported any distance (even a 0 range teleport is enough), the lasso breaks.
- Flaming Lasso overrides every other position changing effect, making only teleports able to break the lasso.
- The lasso also breaks when either Batrider or the target dies. Casting Dismember or Walrus Kick on the lasso target breaks the lasso as well.
- Batrider is disarmed during Flaming Lasso. The disarm either lasts 3/3.5/4 seconds, or until the lasso is broken, whichever is shorter.
- Cannot be cast on, but can drag invulnerable and hidden units.
- It is possible to have multiple units lassoed at the same time (e.g. by using Refresher Orb).
- Can be cast on Roshan, but he neither is disabled nor dragged ( nor damaged). Batrider is still disarmed.
- Aghanim`s Scepter causes the closest allied hero (including creep-heroes and illusions) of the target within a 400 range to get lassoed as well. It does not lasso any non-hero units.
- The secondary target is bound to the first, so it is dragged after it, at the same distance as the primary target is dragged behind Batrider.
- This means the secondary target is dragged 600 distance behind Batrider.
- The secondary lasso breaks when the primary lasso breaks. It can also be broken individually (with teleports or strong dispels).
- The damage added by Aghanim`s Scepter affects both lassoed targets.
- Deals 50 damage in 0.5 seconds intervals, starting immediately upon cast, resulting in 6/7/8 possible instances.
- Can deal up to 300/350/400 damage to each lassoed unit ( before reductions There are several ways to affect the final value of a damage instance. Damage can be manipulated on both ends, from the dealing unit (outgoing damage) and the receiving unit (incoming damage). Armor and magic ).

who excels in lane control and harassing enemies, especially in the early phase of the game. Usually, Batrider is played as a heavy support, items are not needed to utilise his abilities. Batrider is a mobile burst damage raider, capable of dealing enormous amounts of damage on stacks, at a risky close range. Before moving in for the kill, the Batrider hinders his targets with Sticky Napalm, a stacking debuff ability that slows his enemies and amplifies the damage taken from Batrider himself, be it with attacks, spells, or items. When his enemies are greatly crippled, he is ready to attack. With Flamebreak, he launches an explosive cocktail which damages and knocks back enemies in a targeted area. Then, the Batrider activates his Firefly ability, allowing the Batrider to fly high in the sky, creating a burning trail of liquid fire, scorching enemies who dare to go in his path, while giving him the ability to cross and phase through impassable grounds. With Sticky Napalm stacked, he is capable of amplifying and inflicting massive damage quickly, burning them with Flamebreak and Firefly. The Batrider then uses his ultimate, Flaming Lasso, which catches a target with a lasso, shackling and pulling them to his Firefly trail or to the clutches of his merciless allies. When these spells are used altogether, the Batrider is a dangerous hero that the enemy should be aware of, risking his own safety enough to cause fiery chaos and mass destruction.

Recommended items
Starting items:
- Tangoes gives needed health regeneration during the laning phase.
- Iron Branch gives cheap health, mana, and damage and can later be built into a Magic Wand.
Early-game items:
- Urn of Shadows Item Changelogs Urn of ShadowsB Contains the ashes of powerful demons. Cost875 (310) Bought FromSupport Active Soul Release Charges 0 Bonus +2 Strength+2 Agility+2 Intelligence+2 Armor+1 Mana regeneration Disassemble? No Alert gives more killing power and sustainability.
Core items:
- Tranquil Boots is mandatory for an offlane batrider, providing a source of @@@#@@@HP(hp.com)###@### regen to allow him to remain on lane.
- Blink Dagger is essential for Batrider as both Firefly and Flaming Lasso require deliberate positioning to be effective.
Situational items:
- Arcane Boots can be a good pickup for Batrider because he is mana dependent early game.
- Force Staff can be used while lassoing a target, allowing you to drag them even further.
- Eul`s Scepter of Divinity is a great pickup for Batrider. It gives you movement speed to improve Lasso effect, mana regen to help spam your abilities and also another disable to help in teamfights or to disjoint projectiles.
- Boots of Travel gives unmatched global presence and the extra movement speed allows Batrider to drag enemies farther during his ultimate.
- Black King Bar prevents Batrider from being stopped by most stuns meaning he can drag the target further out of position without dying as quickly himself.
- Aghanim`s Scepter seems pretty expensive on Batrider, but it can prove itself seriously efficiency. Because, it allows him to catch two heroes instead of one, and if it haves Refresher Orb, it can catch two more, which means he can become a real threat to grouped heroes on low HP.
- Octarine Core can be bought in late game as a luxury item, which will give you a much higher health and mana pool supplying health and mana regen, magic lifesteal which will fit with Firefly and Flamebreak and also will reduce your cooldowns allowing for an even better spam of all skills.
