Choosing Lane

Become Lane support is the best choice for Lion. Lane Supports or Babysitters are Heroes who help their team's Carry control the lane in the early stages of the game.

Early game's Strategy

Help your team's Carry control the lane so helps him to farm easily. Since you are a ranged hero, you can use this to your advantage by harassing melee heroes that are in your lane. Do not use your ‘Impale’ to harass until you reach level 3. You may use it for a potential first blood or to save yourself and your ally from one. If you want to regenerate mana, use ‘Mana Drain’ on the enemy ranged creep.


Mid game's Strategy

As before, your role is to stay with your team and assist them in their kills. Use your ‘Finger’ only if your team has no long range damaging spells and no one will be able to reach him. Never aim for a kill for yourself. Also, ward/counter-ward the map. Hard to become babysitter, right?

Late game's Strategy

It will be hard for you in late game. Almost all of Lion's skill wouldn't be useful. If you are pushed, Stay away from enemy with "BKB". Assist your team with your stun and disables. If there is a frail enemy that can be killed with ‘Impale’ + ‘Finger’, kill him fast.

That's all for Lion The Demon Witch DotA Guide.
