High Ground Siege

Bring a wave, chip a melee rax, respect glyph, and leave if two cores die. Throne last.

Best for: Teams that throw 20k leads on the ramp

Dota 2 high ground barracks siege

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Have a creep wave. No wave means you are tanking T3 with heroes.

  2. 2

    Smoke or vision the ramps. Sentries for invis. Dust in inventory, not in stash.

  3. 3

    Hit the tower, then melee barracks. One rax is a win. Greedy throne dives are how leads vanish.

  4. 4

    If they glyph, back up and wait. Standing in glyph is donating cooldowns.

  5. 5

    If two cores die, leave. Buyback defense on high ground is their win condition.

Tips

  • Aegis is for this moment. Using Aegis to farm ancient stacks is a meme until it loses the game.
  • Call who has buyback before you walk up. Silence here is a throw.
  • Range rax is extra. Melee rax changes the creeps. Prioritize melee.
