Most-bought items for Lone Druid in OpenDota’s sample of parsed public matches (2,275 purchases counted). Bars compare each item with the most-bought one in its phase. The percentage is the win rate in games where Lone Druid bought the item by minute 30 (green or red when it is clearly above or below Lone Druid’s average). Teams that are ahead buy items sooner, so a high number shows the item goes with winning games, not that it causes the win. Items with fewer than 100 games show no percentage. Cheap components are hidden from the mid and late game.

Abilities

Entangle

20 / 19 / 18 / 17s60

When cast, applies 2 stacks to each enemy hero in the area and 5 stacks to enemy creeps. Also empowers Lone Druid for 10s, making him apply 1 stack with each attack on enemy heroes. Enemies cannot gain stacks while Entangled. Leveling this ability also levels Spirit Bear's Entangling Claws ability.

Lore

Long before the first words of the first histories there rose the druidic Bear Clan. Wise and just they were, and focused in their ways to seek an understanding of the natural order. The arch forces of nature saw this, and so sought the most learned among them. Wise old Sylla, clan justiciar and seer, stepped forward for his kin, and to him was given the Seed with these words: 'When all of the world has dimmed, when civilization has left these lands, when the world is slain and wracked by the endless deserts at the end of ages, plant the Seed.' As he grasped his trust, Sylla felt his years recede and his vitality returned. Vast knowledge burst into his mind. He found himself able to project his very will into reality and, with some concentration, alter his own physical form as well. Yet subtle whispers and cruel ears brought word of the Seed and its power to other peoples, and a terrible war crashed upon the Bear Clan. As his ancestral home burned, Sylla took his burden and fled to the wild places. Ages passed, and time and myth forgot the Bear Clan, forgot Sylla and the Seed, forgot wondrous civilizations that rose and fell in Bear Clan's wake. For millenia Sylla has waited, waited for word from his deities, waited for peace to come to the ever warring realms, waited in exile and in secret for the end of all things and for the conclusion of his sacred commitment, preparing himself always to face and destroy whatever would dare threaten his purpose.
