Early Items
- Boots of Speed are essential for most heroes but particularly Ursa as it allows him to chase down enemies to get into Earthshock range, as well as reducing down-time while jungling.
- Magic Stick combines with earlier Iron Branch Item Changelogs Iron BranchB A seemingly ordinary branch, its ironlike qualities are bestowed upon the bearer. Cost50 Bought FromAttributes Active Plant Tree Charges 1 Bonus +1 Strength+1 Agility+1 Intelligence Disassemble? No es to make a Magic Wand.
- Ring of Basilius is a useful item to keep Ursa`s mana issues at bay. It can also be built into a Vladmir`s Offering or Ring of Aquila, both of which are definitely viable options for Ursa.
- Orb of Venom puts another slow in Ursa`s arsenal, giving more chasing power and potentially can be used as a component of Eye of Skadi.
- Morbid Mask naturally synergizes well with Ursa`s high physical DPS, greatly increasing his staying power in the lane and in the jungle. It also gives him the option to take on Roshan.
Core Items
- Phase Boots provide Ursa with additional chasing power, as well as damage to bolster his already high DPS.
- Magic Wand may be useful to supplement Ursa`s poor mana pool and save him from bad situations.
- Vladmir`s Offering or other sources of lifesteal are key to Ursa`s success and his workings as a hero. Lifesteal allows him to take Roshan For Roshan as he appears in holiday events, see Roshan (Diretide 2012) and Roshan (Diretide 2013) Roshan Ancient Jungle Creep Level 30 Health 5500 Health regeneration 20 Armor 15 Magic resistance 55% Attack damage 65 with ease and keep his current health high. Also lifesteal work with Fury Swipes, so Ursa can devastate any enemy by leeching a lot of health when some Fury Swipes are already placed.
- Blink Dagger For the cosmetic item equipped by Axe, see Little Blink Dagger. Item Changelogs Blink DaggerBL The fabled dagger used by the fastest assassin ever to walk the lands. Cost2250 Bought FromArcane is used for picking off heroes or initiating fights as it gives Ursa the option to pounce on an enemy hero with Earthshock and rapidly kill them.
- Black King Bar Item Changelogs Black King BarB A powerful staff imbued with the strength of giants. Cost3975 (1375) Bought FromArmor Active Avatar Bonus +10 Strength+24 Attack damage Disassemble? No Alert allies? No Recipe is usually necessary in the late game, as Ursa is very vulnerable to disables.
- Town Portal Scrolls are essential for any hero to be able to massively reduce downtime farming, defending towers and fighting.
Situational Items
- Shadow Blade is a potential alternative to blink dagger, providing nice bonus damage upon attacking. Be that as it may, it should only be bought against teams without a Slardar or Bounty Hunter and against slow, low-mobility heroes if a Blink Dagger For the cosmetic item equipped by Axe, see Little Blink Dagger. Item Changelogs Blink DaggerBL The fabled dagger used by the fastest assassin ever to walk the lands. Cost2250 Bought FromArcane is likely to be cancelled by long-range spells. Also keep in mind that using Shadow Blade costs 75 mana per use, which over time adds up to a lot of lost mana.
- Heart of Tarrasque is the best health item for slot-efficiency, providing Ursa with considerable tankiness as well as the ability to avoid retreating from a base siege for too long due to its% based regeneration.
- Linken`s Sphere is a great item against Disarm and Silence and other heroes possessing powerful single-target spells. It should be bought if BKB cannot stop the enemy from locking you down.
- Blade Mail can be considered if the enemy team is focusing Ursa in fights to return the damage. It is usually bought with a Heart of Tarrasque, Satanic or Eye of Skadi on Ursa ensure he has the @@@#@@@HP(hp.com)###@### to survive the fight and deal the Blade Mail damage.
- Sange and Yasha provides some easy-to-build HPTechnology company and movement speed on Ursa, so if a Blink Dagger or Shadow Blade is not viable in the game, consider this item for some added mobility and tank. It can also be disassembled to create a Heaven`s Halberd and Manta Style later in the game to provide evasion and debuff removal respectively.
- Abyssal Blade is highly useful for locking down slippery carries. The bash also synergizes with Overpower very well as you can get many procs without buying attack speed.
- Desolator is a decent item for if your team is mostly based on physical damage. Consider buying it if you are tanky enough to not need a health item and not being kited enough to need an item that provides lockdown.

Info
Jungling
- Ursa is a very unusual jungler in this game, mainly because most junglers are junglers because of their lifesteal (Such as Lifestealer Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Lifestealer 25 + 3.3 18 + 1.9 15 + 1.75 Level Base and Wraith King Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Wraith King 22 + 3.2 18 + 1.7 18 + 1.6 Level ) or creeps spawned by them (Examples: Enigma Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Enigma 17 + 2.4 14 + 1 20 + 3.4 Level Base , Nature`s Prophet Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Nature s Prophet 19 + 2.1 18 + 1.9 25 + 2.9 Level , Lone Druid Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Known Bugs Lone Druid 17 + 2.4 24 + 2.7 13 ), but Ursa is a unique jungler with his Fury swipes Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Known Bugs Ursa 23 + 3 18 + 2.1 16 + and Overpower Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Known Bugs Ursa 23 + 3 18 + 2.1 16 + combo.

Notes:
- The magic resistance stacks multiplicatively with other sources of magic resistance.
- The armor and attack damage are added as bonus armor and bonus attack damage, and therefore do not benefit illusions.
- Upgrading health increases maximum health capacity and keeps the current health percentage.
General
- Ursa`s lack of ranged abilities and mobility options make him very easy to kite. Pair up with a disabler such as Lion Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Known Bugs Lion 16 + 2 15 + 1.5 20 + or Shadow Shaman Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Shadow Shaman 21 + 2.1 16 + 1.6 21 + 3 Level .
- Ursa`s Fury Swipes ability allows him to solo-kill Roshan For Roshan as he appears in holiday events, see Roshan (Diretide 2012) and Roshan (Diretide 2013) Roshan Ancient Jungle Creep Level 30 Health 5500 Health regeneration 20 Armor 15 Magic resistance 55% Attack damage 65 at very low levels with any source of lifesteal Lifesteal allows the attacking unit to gain health when damaging an enemy, which includes any attack modifier with attack damage. The lifesteal ability can be gained via items, passive abilities or the auras of other (as low as level 1 if paired with Wraith King Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Wraith King 22 + 3.2 18 + 1.7 18 + 1.6 Level ). Be that as it may, doing so makes him vulnerable to ganks by a savvy enemy team. Consider informing your team to de-ward the area around the Roshan pit regularly and using Smoke of Deceit Item Changelogs Smoke of DeceitB The charlatan wizard Myrddin s only true contribution to the arcane arts. Cost50 Bought FromConsumables Active Smoke of Deceit Charges 1 Disassemble? No Alert allies? Yes Recipe to sneak in.
- Ursa can be easily shut down by disables Disables (also called crowd control, or CC) refer to any abilities or status effects that prevent, impede, or otherwise inhibit a Hero from acting. Disables come in many different varieties, and most Heroes have access .
Earthshock
- Earthshock is a low cooldown, decent damage AoE slow that is useful for crippling enemies while you lay waste to them with your right click attacks. Consider at least one value point in this skill early game as it gives you the full slow duration as well as a magic nuke which will more easily allow you to acquire kills.
- Though the mana cast is not high, the low cooldown combined with Ursa`s small mana pool means you will fast run out of mana if you are not careful. Consider stat items/mana regeneration items to ensure you have enough mana for this and Overpower.
- Do not rely too much on the slow to pin down enemies; though it is very strong and lasts a good while, savvy opponents will build force staffs/glimmer capes/debuff removal items for themselves or each other, kiting you and denying you easy kills. Often it is essential to build items that give better lockdown such as Scythe of Vyse or Abyssal Blade.
Overpower
- Overpower`s cooldown is shorter than its duration. This means that Ursa can cast the ability early, use up the Overpower attacks, and then cast it again immediately after for up to 12 attacks in quick succession. Use this to maximize his burst damage and jungling efficiency.
- The combination of Overpower and Fury Swipes is the source of Ursa`s tremendous damage output, as the greatly increased attack speed allows Ursa to build Fury Swipes stacks very quickly.
- The long duration of Overpower means it should be cast before a fight to let Ursa start dealing heavy damage right away.
Fury Swipes
- Fury swipes works like troll warlords /dota2.gamepedia.com/Troll%20Warlord Fervor⃢₀₋,except that it provides damage and not attack speed.With max level for both Overpower and Fury swipes,Ursa can deal 6x plus 450 damage (x beings his base attack damage,this number can increase with enrage).
- Works best when you already have a stack of overpower nearing its expiry time, use Earth Shock to slow down the enemy and attack.It is usually a definite kill if you do this and after that pop in another overpower stack and use enrage.
Enrage
- Because Fury Swipes` damage increases with the number of stacks, holding on to Enrage until Ursa has made several attacks on the target will result in a large increase in damage. This is especially useful for quickly wearing down Roshan`s health.
- While mainly used to amplify Ursa`s damage output, the dispel and damage resistance applied by Enrage mean that he can also use it to help escape enemies.
- Note that Enrage has a quite short duration. Enemies with long ranged or long lasting disables can therefore easily waste the Enrage buff by disabling Ursa after he has cast it. Examples of such disables are Astral Imprisonment, Nightmare, and Adaptive Strike, or even Paralyzing Cask and Malefice, which are short, but repeating stuns.
- Enrage does not disjoint any debuff and is not recommended to be used against undisjointable debuffs such as rupture as it only puts a strong dispel on ursa
- It is possible to put a dispel on Ursa during the duration of enrage,the dispel only activates at the starting of enrage and hence only removes existing debuffs.
