Guide: How to beat Dota 2 Horde Mode

So if someone wonders how to do that - here's a guide. It worked for easy mode (5p), don't know if it will for hard mode - but it should

TL, DR: alchemist solo mid, buy SR+tranquils, rush radiance, farm creeps, get 7 slots (AC, Heart, BoT, Battle Fury, 2 King rapiers, Moon shard), destroy enemy base solo

Detailed guide:

0. Claim solo mid. Ask your team to pick heroes for defense on other lanes, so they are able to def 2 lanes while you are pushing

1. Pick alchemist, buy boots 1st item

2. Pick greevil's greed 1st skill point and get both bounty runes (if you are not able to do so, better get acid spray lvl 1). Get acid spray. You will be maxing it 1st

2. With bounty rune gold, get stout shield (actually, never skip stout shield on ANY melee hero in this mode) and ring of basilus

3. On the lane, use acid spray and kite creeps, so they stay in the acid spray all the time and hit you as little as possible

4. Next you'll need to complete tranquil boots and soul ring (disassemble basilus for that; stat with tranquils)

5. Skill build is 4-0-2-1 on lvl 7. Spam your ulti to regen. Then you max grivels greed and ulti, skip concoction in favor of stats.

6. Once you have lvl 6, tranquils and soul ring, you won't need anyone's help on the lane since this point. Just make sure not to die instantly after using soul ring.

7. You will have enough gold for Radiance at around 7 minutes. Just keep doing what you already were doing - kite creeps, spam acid spray. Roshans are also killed with acid spray and radiance burn, pretty easy.

8. Item progression: Heart -> Battle Fury (don't sell soul ring until you have perseverance) -> AC -> King rapier -> Moon shard -> replace radiance with king rapier; Also replace tranquils with BoTs if you feel you're gonna need to help your team to defend base at some point.

9. Another hint: you can take items from the middle of the middle lane - in the river. However when you pick up MKB+King rapier recipe from there (having a divine rapier in your inventory), they won't combine into king rapier. Drop the MKB on the ground and pick it up to combine.

10. Once you have first divine rapier (not the king rapier), start pushing down outer towers

11. Once you have all but the last king rapier, start destroying base. Be careful not to die to multiple mega towers, tank them only when you have your ulti up. Don't underestimate their range and watch your ulti uptime carefully.

12. You need to destroy all the towers around the ancient to start hitting them.
