This Hunter-Warrior build is a 9-man comp, which means there is 1 flex spot which can be filled by a number of options. While a case can be made that 3 Hunters can work just as well as 6, this build takes more advantage of Drow Ranger’s powerful passive ability. It also benefits more from the Hunter’s Focus perk and does not have any hard counters. The downside of this comp is its cost. Considering most units are high-cost and won’t be readily available to you until the mid-late game, you’re going to want to preserve your economy in the early game. The upside of this comp is that it can be easily transitioned into by beginning with 3 early-game Warriors and any 3 Hunters.
The Heartless alliance buff allows your Hunters to more easily pick apart opposing teams by reducing their armor, while your Warriors and Scaled act as your defensive alliances. This build handles 3 Mage builds well, however if opposed by a powerful 6-Mage comp, you should consider replacing one of the Warriors with Slardar and adding Slark as the 10th unit in order to unlock the 4x Scaled buff. The flex spot can be used to add Tiny (a mini-stun who tanks well), Gyrocopter (to unlock the Deadeye bonus) or any powerful Elusive unit such as Phantom Assassin or Templar Assassin.
