Blood Pact Warlocks

Warlock 6 + Troll 4 + Orc 2 + Warrior 3: lifesteal everything.

Warlock 4 already gives 25% lifesteal on all damage to every ally; Warlock 6 makes your Warlocks steal max HP. Witch Doctor, Dazzle, Huskar and Troll Warlord stack Troll 4 (+70 attack speed for the team), and fast attacks + lifesteal is a brutal loop. Shadow Fiend is the lone Demon, so his attacks deal pure damage.

How to play

2. Dark Seer, Venomancer, Enigma, Shadow Fiend for Warlock 4-6 in the mid game.
3. Huskar becomes the frontline carry: missing HP gives him attack speed and lifesteal keeps him alive.
4. Warlock and Axe add Orc 2 (+100 HP) and Warrior 3.
5. Pipe of Insight on Huskar protects him against Mage comps.

Strengths

• Long fights favour you; strong into physical comps.

Weaknesses

• Shiva's Guard and Eye of Skadi (-50% healing) hurt a lot.
