Yurnero the Juggernaut is a melee agility Hero. Juggernaut relies on his abilities to inflict high damage, which also grants him temporary invulnerability or magic immunity, turning him into an unstoppable force. He does have below average attributes, so he does not have as much health and mana as other Heroes. Juggernaut is strong both offensively and defensively, as well as dealing heavy damage both physically and magically with his Blade Fury and Omnislash ultimate. Juggernaut's main role is a carry.

Due to Juggernaut's strong farming ability and simple survivability, beginners will enjoy using him to practice on melee-type carries. He is recommended for new to intermediate players.

Bio

Yurnero, the Juggernaut "By the Visage of Vengeance, which drowned the Isle of Masks, I will carry on the rites of the Faceless Ones." Role: Carry / Pusher Lore: No one has ever seen the face hidden beneath the mask of Yurnero the Juggernaut. It is only speculation that he even has one. For defying a corrupt lord, Yurnero was exiled from the ancient Isle of Masks--a punishment that saved his life. The isle soon after vanished beneath the waves in a night of vengeful magic. He alone remains to carry on the Isle's long Juggernaut tradition, one of ritual and swordplay. The last practitioner of the art, Yurnero's confidence and courage are the result of endless practice; his inventive bladework proves that he has never stopped challenging himself. Still, his motives are as unreadable as his expression. For a hero who has lost everything twice over, he fights as if victory is a foregone conclusion. Voice: Responses

Abilities

Blade Fury Q F Ability Affects Damage Target Point Enemies Magical Causes a bladestorm of destructive force around Juggernaut, rendering him immune to magic and dealing damage to nearby enemy units. Lasts 5 seconds. Radius: 250 Duration: 5 Damage Per Second: 80/100/120/140 30/28/26/24 110 Yurnero's renowned katana techniques are feared by warriors and sorcerors alike.

Notes: This ability won't affect mechanical units. You can use items (including TP Scroll/ Boots of Travel) during Blade Fury. If a unit is not being affected by Blade Fury, Yurnero can perform normal attacks against this unit.

Healing Ward W G Ability Affects Target Point Allies Summons a Healing Ward that heals all nearby allied units, based on their max HP. The Healing Ward can move at 300 movement speed after being summoned. Lasts 25 seconds. Range: 350 Radius: 500 Duration: 25 Heal Per Second: 2%/3%/4%/5% 60 80/100/120/140 Of the rituals learned at the Isle of Masks, tending wounds with a bit of voodoo magic has proven to be quite useful.

Notes: If a unit is affected by two Healing Wards only one will work. The ward has 1 hit point and can be attacked. The ward won't heal mechanical units. Can be targeted by Decrepify.

Blade Dance E C Ability Affects Passive Enemies Gives Juggernaut a chance to deal double damage on each attack. Chance: 15%/20%/25%/35% The last remnant of his heritage's commitment to bladework, Yurnero ensures that the style is remembered.

Omnislash R X Ability Affects Damage Target Unit Enemy Heroes Physical Juggernaut leaps towards the target enemy unit with a damaging attack, and then slashes other nearby enemy units, dealing between 175-250 damage per slash. The fewer units available to attack, the more damage those units will take; if a unit is alone, it will take all of the damage. Juggernaut becomes invulnerable while Omnislashing and mini-stuns the first target. Range: 450 Jump Radius: 425 Number Of Attacks: 3/6/9 (6/9/12*) Damage Per Attack: 175-250 130/120/110 (110/100/90*) 200/275/350 Blocked first instance of damage (but not ministun) if Linken's holder is primary target. Increases number of jumps and decreases cooldown. ‘The fruits of discipline; with practice comes strength.’

Notes: Each slash deals 175-250 damage, with an interval of 0.4 seconds. The first target of Omnislash receives a mini-stun, effectively stopping its channeling actions. With enough attack speed, Juggernaut can attack with his own attack strength while jumping around. In these attacks, Juggernaut can place buffs and trigger chance effects. The slashes can't be avoided by evasion. Any normal attacks made, however, can. You can use items while using Omnislash. The Omnislash buff is not applied until after the first hit. Juggernaut is completely invulnerable under the effects of the buff. Juggernaut gains flying vision in 200 radius for the duration of Omnislash.

Recommended Items

Explanation: Battle Fury works with Omnislash, allowing you to do AoE splash damage with it.

Tips

• Blade Fury allows the Juggernaut to deal massive amounts of damage early game, especially if you take Boots of Speed early on or have a teammate with a disable. Always try to lane with heroes such as Crystal Maiden, Lion, and Shadow Shaman to increase your potential. If you have boots, and the enemy does not, look to be aggressive with Blade Fury.
• Blade Fury can be used as a escape mechanism due to its magic immunity. Using it alongside Healing Ward can result in escaping even the most difficult situations.
• Omnislash works best if you catch an enemy hero away from their creeps. Time it well to avoid wasting hits on creeps, and ensure your enemy doesn't have any blink or invisibility skills, as those will cause your ultimate to not affect them.
• Healing Ward is a great way to keep pushes going and heal yourself. Make sure you don't neglect it!
• Taking stats rather than Healing Ward and Blade Dance at very early levels may be a better idea. After all, stats are more useful in the early game due to your high mana costs and lack of survivability. Focusing on stats and Blade Fury up until you can get Omnislash makes you far more viable in survivability and mana management.
• Do not be fooled into thinking you are hard to kill while using Blade Fury. Enemies who have a high amount of physical damage, such as Drow Ranger or Sven, will be able to deal insane damage to you even if you are under Blade Fury's effects.
