HardCore DotA: Guide to Ancient Apparation, Kaldr

Introduction

After the map v6.65 was released kaldr became one of the best heroes for me with four active spells. Using his four active spells can be quite difficult but once you master this hero it will become one of the most powerful heroes in DotA. Ancient Apparition can stop push from the enemy creeps of one lane using his ice blast while he himself is pushing from other lane Using his first kill either cold feet he can easily harass most of the heroes in DotA, and therefore has a brilliant lane controlling ability. His ability of amplifying allies’ damage is also very Strong.
