Broodmothers Guide

Well, I recently rediscovered Broodmother in a whole new light. She is one of the best tower takers in the early and mid game. And that too without taking much dmage by tower. All we have to do is to Put the first power on a creep with low hp such that the power kills the creep and does not leave much hp, then 3 spiderlings will spawn. Now use them to kill enemy creeps, and they will reproduce on their own. Every creep killed is a new spiderite for you. Soon, ull have an army of these (about 12-15) which is more than enough for taking out tower. First, let me explain the brain of a tower. It first attacks the closest unit, giving preference to the units which are attacking it. If there are multiple units attacking the tower, it will ALWAYS go for the unit with the lowest hp. But once it starts to hit a unit, it wont change targets unless its killed otr out of range (exception to Siege units. They are always given last preference even if it is attacking the tower.) So when u and your spiderlings and army of spiderites are attacking, first the tower will go for the spiderites, as they have the lowest hp. Next, it goes for the spiderlings, and last for you, if there are no other units attacking (excluding Siege). So keep attacking the tower unless your last spiderling is on low hp, and retreat when it is low. Usually, u can take out the tower in one push if you have an army of spiderites AND the enemy hero has no area of effect spell. So watch out for Earthshaker, your worst enemy. Next on the Danger list are Tiny, Centaur, Razor, Medusa(Chain Lightning), Sand King, Tidehunter, etc.etc. So ask your team mate(s) to help u when ur lvl is 5 or 6 to distract the enemy hero, so u can take out the tower with the least possiblr trouble. Believe me, when our enemy heros were Silencer, Bane Elemental, Mortred, Faceless Void and Nessaj, we destroyed the base towers by lvl 11!!! So even before they can farm for gold and becme Godlike, their base is GONE!!! Now how do u like that???Then all it takes to win the game is destroying the unit producing buildings, and the game is yours! No hero can handle Mega Creeps in lvl 12 or 13, so there is no way ur gonna lose!!!!!!!

hehehehe, cool... i used this trick all the time depending on the enemy, this build is only good if you enemy doesn't have a AOE skill... hehehe, but good farming and early game build.

Broodmother is one of the strongest heroes in dota because of her ability to push towers solo and give her team a gold advantage. She can also solo well against dual and trilanes.

Good share but I already know that Broodmother is a great pusher. It is how you explain in detail the brain of the tower that amazes me. Broodmother with a ring of basilus, vladimir and the buckler, would be a greater pusher considering your technique. Nice Share. I learned a lot.
