Ulfsaar the Ursa Warrior, or simply Ursa, is a melee agility Hero and is arguably one of the most dangerous to face in one-on-one combat as he can instantly overpower his enemy with his wrath. Once he reaches level 6, Ursa is a danger to the enemy's team, capable of defeating most Heroes in physical combat and able to take on the most powerful creep Roshan as early as level 6. What makes him formidable are his abilities, which allow him to attack at max speed and gain more damage for each consecutive hit.

Ursa is one of the simplest Heroes in the game, requiring little knowledge to be effective. He is recommended for new players.

Bio

Ulfsaar, the Ursa Warrior "Against all strife." Role: Carry / Jungler / Durable Lore: Ulfsaar the Warrior is the fiercest member of an ursine tribe, protective of his land and his people. During the long winters, while the mothers sleep and nurse their cubs, the males patrol the lands above—as tireless, vigilant defenders of their ancient ways. Hearing dim but growing rumors of a spreading evil, Ulfsaar headed out beyond the boundaries of his wild wooded homeland, intending to track down and destroy the threat at its source, before it could endanger his people. He is a proud creature with a bright strong spirit, utterly trustworthy, a staunch ally and defender. Voice: Responses

Abilities

Earthshock Q Ability Affects Damage No Target Enemies Magical Ursa slams the earth, causing a powerful shock to damage and slow all enemy units in a nearby area for 4 seconds. Radius: 385 Damage: 90/140/190/240 Slow: 25%/35%/45%/55% Duration: 4 6 75 The very steps of a male ursine shake the ground as well as the resolve of opposing warriors.

Overpower W Ability Affects No Target Self Using his skill in combat, Ursa gains increased attack speed for a set number of attacks or until the duration expires. Radius: 365 Effect: 400% Attack speed Duration: 15 Number of attacks: 3/4/5/6 10 45/55/65/75 For a behemoth of his size, Ursa is deceptively nimble.

Notes: It gives the maximum increased attack speed possible. Overpower is not removed when Black King Bar is activated. The number of charges will not go down if Ursa attacks items.

Fury Swipes E Ability Affects Damage Passive Enemy Units Physical Ursa's claws dig deeper wounds in the enemy, causing consecutive attacks to the same enemy to deal more damage. Each hit on the same target within 6 seconds, including the first hit, deals damage and increases the damage taken by subsequent attacks. If the same target is not attacked after 6 seconds, the bonus damage is lost. Bonus damage per attack: 15/20/25/30 Duration: 6 In nature, the wounded rarely survive the attacks of hungry predators.

Notes: Counter gets reset after 6 seconds.

Enrage R Ability Affects No Target Self Ursa goes into a frenzy, gaining a percentage of his current health as bonus damage. Lasts 15 seconds. Percent of current life added to damage: 5%/6%/7% Duration: 15 25 Ulfsaar succumbs to his ancient spirit, becoming the most ferocious creature on the battlefield.

Tips

• Fury Swipes allows Ursa Warrior to solo Roshan relatively early.
• Use the Phase Boots to chase down heroes who try to run from you.
• Vladimir's Offering is a must have before taking on Roshan. It synergizes nicely with your Fury Swipes and Overpower abilities.
• Use the Blink Dagger to blink in front of a hero to Earthshock him, then move in for the kill.

Trivia

• Ulfsaar's alternate name was Fuzzy Wuzzy
• In Dota 1, Ursa's Ultimate would do damage at the start of his attack animation.
• Attack modifiers such as critical strike and bash cause Ursa's attack to not provide a stack of Fury Swipes.
