Ulfsaar the Ursa Warrior (or simply Ursa) is a melee agility hero whose abilities' main focus is the increase of autoattack damage, allowing for some of the most impressive sustained damage in the entire game.

He specializes in increasing damage against one target. His abilities allow him to attack at up to maximum speed (400 IAS) and gain bonus damage with each consecutive hit on a single target. With these abilities—Overpower and Fury Swipes—Ursa can savage beefy targets for as much as 700 damage per hit. He is a ferocious jungler and straightforward attacker, able to solo even Roshan at low levels if he has Vladmir's Offering or another lifesteal. Ursa is a carry who can snowball if he is farmed, but the array of anti-melee abilities existing even by the early game and his lack of any counterspells, especially to strong nukers and heroes with the ability to evade him make him a hero reliant on other spells on his team. Although an agility hero, Ursa's strength gain makes him very durable, and his ultimate allows his damage to scale by building strength items.

[edit] Bio

Ulfsaar, the Ursa Warrior
Play "Fear not, my kin, for I come to your aid."
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.

Slow: 25%/35%/45%/55%
Duration: 4

75

The very steps of a male ursine shake the ground as well as the resolve of opposing warriors.

Overpower

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.

Effect: 400 Attack speed

For a behemoth of his size, Ursa is deceptively nimble.

Overpower is not removed when using Black King Bar.

The number of charges will not go down if Ursa attacks items.
Cannot be purged.

Fury Swipes

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.
Works on magic immune (non-mechanical) units.
Switching targets does not cause stacks of Fury Swipes on the previous target to reset.
Fury Swipes is a Unique Attack Modifier and does not stack with other Unique Attack Modifiers, including certain lifesteal effects.

Enrage

Ability	Affects
No Target	Self

Ursa goes into a frenzy, gaining a percentage of his current health as bonus damage. Lasts 15 seconds.

[edit] Tips

Fully leveled Fury Swipes and Vladmir's Offering (or Skeleton King's Vampiric Aura) allows Ursa Warrior to solo Roshan relatively early (as early as level 6 if the player gets lucky with Roshan's bashes). However, it should be noted that Fury Swipes is a Unique Attack Modifier and, as such, lifesteal effects that are also Unique Attack Modifiers (such as that from Morbid Mask) do not grant lifesteal, as Fury Swipes overrides them.
As a hero with little natural capability to forcibly engage combat, speed items such as Phase Boots are useful for chasing down heroes while patrolling alone.
Earthshock is a relatively effective slow even without Blink Dagger, but regardless of the circumstance initiation is best left to allies due to its short range. It is best used instead to prolong the time enemies are in range.

[edit] Trivia

Ulfsaar's alternate name was Fuzzy Wuzzy.
In Latin, the word "ursa" means bear.
In DotA, Ursa's Ultimate would do damage at the start of his attack animation.
