Hello steemian, this afternoon I will do the same thing as yesterday, that is sharing about Review of hero dota 2, this time I review Bristleback. Bristleback is a famous melee hero with a great skill that saves his enemies and reduces his armor with the Viscous Nasal Goo skill, hitting the enemy while removing his Quil Spray skill, when the bristleback is struck from behind, he will automatically extract his thorns due to his Bristleback the passive. Bristleback includes the most powerful hero in defense at the start of the game and at the end of the game as you guys play it.
Never one to turn his back on a fight, Rigwarl was known for battling the biggest, meanest scrappers he could get his hands on. Christened Bristleback by the drunken crowds, he waded into backroom brawls in every road tavern between Slom and Elze, until his exploits finally caught the eye of a barkeep in need of an enforcer. For a bit of brew, Bristleback was hired to collect tabs, keep the peace, and break the occasional leg or two (or five, in the case of one unfortunate web-hund).
After indulging in a night of merriment during which bodily harm was meted out in equal parts upon both delinquent patrons and his own liver, Bristleback finally met his match. "Your tusks offend me, sir," he was heard to drunkenly slur to one particularly large fellow from the northern wastes whose bill had come due. What followed was a fight for the ages. A dozen fighters jumped in. No stool was left unbroken, and in the end, the impossible happened: the tab went unpaid. Over the weeks that followed, Bristleback's wounds healed, and his quills grew back; but an enforcer's honor can be a prickly thing. He paid the tab from his own coin, vowing to track down this northerner and extract redemption. And then he did something he'd never done before: he actually trained, and in so doing made a startling discovery about himself. A smile peeled back from his teeth as he flexed his quills. Turning his back to a fight might be just the thing.

The above Talent Tree serves as a good Defense for my own version of Bristleback if you want to use it in the game please if it does not matter too.
- Blade Mail : Is a hybrid pickup of damage and defense. It is strong against teams with high amounts of burst damage, either causing the enemies to take the damage themselves as well, or forcing them to not use their burst damage, giving Bristleback some time to deal with them.
- Pipe of Insight : Is built off of a Hood of Defiance, which is also a good item on Bristleback, and is an item any team should have one of if there are any dangerous nukers on the enemy team.
- Boots of Travel : Increasing the speed of movement and very important when the team is in a gank position, Bristleback can come help with using teleport
- Heart of Tarrasque : Grants a huge amount of health and gives you significant regeneration when not in a fight against heroes. It helps in siege situations, where you can soak up lots of damage and then wait a short time to be back at full health. The immense health boost allows Bristleback to use the passive Quill Spray to their full potential, as he can tank significantly more, retreat to heal up and then repeat.
- Octarine Core : Quill Spray and Radiance (if obtained) make Octarine Core an incredibly item for a very offensive Bristleback. Lower Cooldown on Quill Spray, lifesteal from each Quill Spray hit and Radiance burn makes Bristleback difficult to kill.
- Radiance : Is great on Bristleback if you can get it early in the game after a couple of items to tank up. This is basically a get-more-ahead item, as if you're hard to kill despite putting so much gold into an offensive item, it can be the best item to snowball the rest of the game by farming quickly and dealing massive area damage in teamfights. However, if you get this item at the cost of being tanky, this is a terrible item to pick up.
All right, this is all I can review for today, I will continue the other Hero Dota Review tomorrow, Thank You, See you!
