This extremely powerful build was unlocked thanks to the recent updates which altered the Warlock alliance buff. The Warlocks now create links with the lowest-health unit on the board, which heals both that unit and the Warlock when a spell is used by the Warlock. What this means for a build like this is that your first Warlock to active its ability will heal your lowest-health unit, while all 6 of your other Warlocks are building up their ability in order to create links and heal the rest of your team. What results is an incredibly defensive build which can heal upwards of 20,000 health per round. Necrophos specifically is a powerhouse in this build, since its ability damages and heals for a good amount, while his alliance will now also further heal your weakest unit. Since the warlocks are so defensive, pairing them with trolls allows you to unlock the offensive force needed to easily fend off enemy comps. Alchemist reduces armor, Disruptor and Witch Doctor provide some much needed crowd control, Enigma and Shadow Fiend deplete their enemies’ health, while your Troll Warlord provides some much-needed DPS to round out the team.
While this build is brand new and may not be over utilized at the moment, you can expect it to dominate games as more players realize how powerful the new Warlock alliance is. Some players are already calling for Valve to fix the Warlock alliance due to it being seen as overpowered. While it’s available to us, we highly recommend you try this powerful and fun build out for yourselves!
