Arachna HoN Guide

Heroes of Newerth Character Guide for the Arachna Hero. Click here to check out a basic guide for Arachna written by Shadowcamsy. That guide talks about Arachna’s basic skills and some good tips on what you should do in the game. But I want to talk about more serious detailed strategies and tactics for  Arachna. First up, let’s talk about what to do in the beginning of the match. When you start out by your pool, let’s say you are playing a 5v5 match for the most popular map. You will have about 600 bucks or so to start with, so if nobody is buying a courier then you should buy a courier for yourself. If  you have to buy one yourself buy the courier monkey, a pretender’s crown and 1x runes of blight. If you don’t have to buy a courier then buy a pretender’s crown 2 pairs of those +3 to agility slippers and then some runes of blight (the things that let you eat trees to regen health). The reason why I go for the agility slippers instead of the strength gloves is because I want to make a Soulscream Ring instead of a strength bracer. This is because this guide is going to show you how to use Arachna as an offensive character that doesn’t want to get hit much. I used to get the Soulscream Ring in when I first started playing Arachna, then I switched to the Strength Bracer because I thought I wanted more health but then I switched back to the agility slippers for the Soulscream Ring. The reason why I like the Soulscream Ring is because the recipe is cheaper and the extra damage helps you last hit and deny creeps. If you don’t know what last hitting is, it’s when you attack a friendly or enemy creep when it is 1 hit away from being dead by pressing “A” on the keyboard to get the target reticule, then you “Left Click” on the target creep and you kill it. If the creep is an enemy you will see a gold number show up. That number is how much gold you acquired for killing the creep. If you last hit an friendly creep, you get a message that says, “Denied.” That message means that enemy heroes in the area will receive less Experience Points (EXP) for the death of that creep. This is important especially if you are playing against a ranged hero because generally ranged heroes receive even less EXP due to creep denies than melee heroes. This is key because as Arachna, you will probably be taking the middle or “mid” path in the map by yourself (solo) and will have to face another ranged hero. This is because ranged heroes usually are picked to go solo mid. Continue reading Heroes of Newerth Character Guide for the Arachna Hero
