PUFF the Mother of All Fun DoTA Heroes

Forget about Astral Trekker I mentioned before. Behold, PUFF the Magic Dragon:

















Puff the Magic Dragon
Fun Tavern CONCEPT

Wow, most of the heroes I experimented are from Fun Tavern CONCEPT. This is also a fun hero which I accidentally stumbled upon because Chicky wanted to see a dragon. After playing 3 games using Puff, I can now officially declared retirement from this map Dota Allstars v6.59 AI r.AWESOME without regret.

I disable the right lane since I'm solo-ing against 5 AI heroes. Once the game begins, press ENTER > type -nb > press ENTER again.

Below are the stats for Puff the Magic Dragon. Puff initially a Green Dragon. Add the first skill on Dragon Roar to transform into ice dragon. There are Undead, Fire, Ice, Lightning and Black Dragon at random so keep selecting until Ice Dragon appears. Stay in base to max out mana pool.

Why Ice Dragon?

• Attack: Frost Nova (passive skill) --> deadly
• Attack: Slow (passive skill) --> AOE: area of effect
• Able to stack with other orb effect (already ban in dota law)
  

To be brief, after the first skill added on Dragon Roar, the following skills are added on both Dragon Hide and Dragon Breath respectively and remaining skills on Stats. Forget about its' level 6 ultimate Dragon Magic.

Puff Stats

The 5 Scourges AI Heroes

Sometimes AI can come up with random stupid-stupid heroes, but for this game there is a fair combination of melee, agi and int heroes for Puff to wipe out. Puff started with 4015 gold to spend in which I bought helm of the dominator, stout shield and vitality booster. With 765 gold remaining, I waited out, farm on scourges to purchase ring of health (875 gold) to make vanguard.

Battlefield

I took the left lane whereby Magnataur, Lone Druid and Faerie Dragon awaits. I maimed Lone Druid's spirit bear to collect a cool 100 gold. Then I head for first blood, first double kill (Lone Druid and Faerie Dragon) at level 5 which kicks my experience to 1/3 of level 6. Muahaha money money money...

First Blood First Double Kill

However, I got carried away with a couple more hero killing and almost took down a tower when I got ambushed and DIED. It was a perfect strategy to take me down.

Map review

While happily farming, contemplating the idea of taking down the first tower so soon (Puff at level 8) and collect Faerie Dragon's pre-corpse on the way, I didn't realize the heroes in the middle lane are missing.

A good death

Once I respawn, I totally wipe out the middle lane heroes and purchased another vanguard. At level 10 in my inventory:

• Helm of the Dominator
• 2 Vanguards
• Boot of Speed

At this stage I slowly wipe out whenever heroes appear:


Then there's more:

Alright... There's just too many screen to capture so I'll just skip those. The funniest part was slaying Roshan (the most powerful neutral creep in DoTA). I alternate using different dragon (Dragon Roar skill):

Roshan Demise

Roshan kept running away from me. I soon realized after defeating him 3 times, he will eventually drop this item:

CHEESE

It's just too cute:
~

Haha. I couldn't be bothered with Aegis of the Immortal. There are several lying around Roshan death bed. But I kept collecting the cheese until I got like 3-4. Basically I kept farming on heroes until I get to purchase my ultimate desire:

GODLIKE Items

Sweet sweet sweet. Then this is actually quite funny because my illusions (got it from the rune by the river) actually killed two heroes:

Apparently it happened too fast I didn't get to see it. I noticed it from the screen description as you can see in the mini map I was closing in the middle lane:

Mini map

Finally...

Scourge Fountain Demise

Hahahahhahahahahahahahahaha... Sweet.
~

Later I just let Puff guard the Scourge base and went out for lunch and some shopping. By the time I came back, put the boys to sleep and get myself ready for bed, it was already after midnight. Sigh~

Puff the Sentry

Below is the last Godlike item I purchased out of boredom. Too much gold until I just don't know what to spend. I continued farming on the heroes until Z-monster started calling.

Final Godlike Item

End Game Summary

Phew... So you see, with Puff the Magic Dragon being as strong and mightily powerful as he is, there is no more hope in playing Godlike heroes. He IS the mother of ALL GODLIKE HEROES!

My next game would be Left for Dead. I'm still working on the LAN settings to enable multiplayer. Nothing seem to work with the poor internet connection.

note: The P1 WiMAX technician did come over yesterday (it was half-expected since the P1 forum in the net rated: poor service).

At first, he tested our modem and connection --> it didn't work (thank god, sometimes it's odd that it only works when those people around but failed again when we uses it).

The current setting uses a dynamic IP so he changed to static IP --> it didn't work. Upload and download rate got problem. Ping halfway suddenly got disconnected.

He brought his own modem, still no improvement (thank god again, afraid their modem is special and different from consumer own). He called back to check the base station.

Surprisingly enough, the distance from our house to the base station is less than 50m.

After over an hour, finally he said he'll head to the base station for checkup. He also mentioned a few customer having this problem but we are the only one in this area.

Weird.

He said he will escalate the problem for us and to hear from him within 3 working days. Bla bla bla... I'm going to end P1 W1MAX subscription!

#6 Hanc Saga: Paco Paco Village

Before I begin, I would like to introduce this game I'm currently playing:

DotA: Defense of the Ancients

It is a short multiplayer, strategy game. Short means it ends in one game like Counter Strike. Sometimes a game can last up till more than an hour.

It has two teams: the Sentinel and the Scourge. Each player (up to five players in one team) controls a HERO with unique abilities. The grand objective of this game is to destroy the "ANCIENT" (a building situated in the middle of each base).

Each hero is able to level up until 25, through experience gained by killing hostile units, base structures and enemy heroes.

By killing, heroes also earn GOLD to buy powerful items to strengthen themselves or gain new abilities.

Dota Allstars v6.59 AI r.AWESOME is totally A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! I know the fun heroes are all GODLIKE, Astral Trekker walloping 5 AI heroes? That was wicked awesome! For the past several nights we'd been brewing passionately.

Once the game begins, press ENTER > type -fun > press ENTER again. The bottom right area will be lit.

(FUN TAVERNS)

Then the four Fun Taverns are activated (clockwise):

• White Fun Tavern (REMADE)
• Red Fun Tavern (EXTINCT)
• Blue Fun Tavern (CONCEPT)
• Green Fun Tavern (TRIBUTE)
• White Fun Recipe Shop (in the middle)
  

(Red sphere: Summon Astral Trekker)

(Astral Trekker initial stats)

These are the skills for Astral Trekker:

• War Stomp
• Entrapment
• Pulverize
• Power Growth (Ultimate)
  

This is the first skill I add : WAR STOMP

Second skill : ENTRAPMENT
I only add PULVERIZE when all skills + stats are max

Astral Ultimate : GIANT GROWTH (at level 6, 11 & 16)

(Astral & Roshan)

Lastly, you are also able to purchase GODLIKE item. Just go back to the Fun Tavern area and select the middle white sphere.

Until today, I'm still unable to buy the Escutcheon shield because it requires lots of GOLD. I haven't practiced much with super creeps and mega creeps (press ENTER > type -scmc > press ENTER again) because that is how you rake in more gold apart from killing neutral creeps.

Unfortunately using Astral, I had difficulty in securing the last hit (that's how you get the gold). Items I managed to purchase are:

• Vanguard
• Hood of Defiance
• Heart of Tarrasque (all except recipe - 1200)
• Bloodstone (all except soul booster - 3300)
• Boots of Speed (not in the Escutcheon recipe)
  

(Fun Recipe Shop)

note: Commands for -fun must be entered within the first 15s of the game. It has to be entered separately from other commands.

Below are my other 'kaki-s' who join in the massacre gaming:

Honestly, I'm really fed up with the extremely slow connection of P1 W1MAX. Been trying to upload the whole night yesterday and it failed. I had to wake up early in the morning just to upload pics, I guess that's when not many people using the bandwidth. Gaming also has taken up my time. Actually it's a great stress reliever!

For this strip, I only briefly read through the dialogs and made no amendments. Basically it's the original dialog created back then. Looking back at the scenery of the village, I remember it took me the entire month to come up with the perfect setting.

The two companion meet up with old man Bich. Happily anticipating Hanc's return, old man Bich brings them to the tavern where the villagers are being sheltered.
