This War of Mine - Tips

Hungry
- Eat once every 2 days has same effect as eating everyday

Winter Fuel
- Build Hatchet - chop down furniture (during scavenge, etc)

Logistics
- Deploy a good combatant on the first scavenge, clear the area, then deploy another character with big inventory size to loot the items.

Efficiency
- Always cook raw meat with vegetable to save resources

Cooking
- On Crude Stove (for Improved Stove, you save Clean Water x2 and Fuel x1)*
-- Single meal
Canned Food = 15 < Raw Food + Clean Water x5 + Fuel x2
Canned Food = 15 < 9 + 5 + 3
Canned Food = 15 < 17
-- Double meal
Canned Food x2 = 30 > Raw Food + Vegetables + Clean Water x6 + Fuel x2
Canned Food x2 = 30 > 9 + 9 + 6 + 3
Canned Food x2 = 30 > 27
*without Bruno
-- Cooked meal cannot be stolen

Hospital
- Never steal or murder in hospital area, otherwise you cant heal your severely wounded character.

Glitch
- When things gone wrong in scavenge, just quit and load game, it will start the day again.

Trap for Small Animals
- Always use Fertilizer as bait
- Raw Food or Vegetables can turn into Fertilizer at any time
- Maximum amount of traps is 2

Dota 6.87 patch analysis



New Global Feature - Scan


Trivia: Terran also have this technology in Starcraft

Possible Exploit:
Use on enemy fountain to check low health hero, for example Ancient Apparition's Ice Blasts



More Int = More Spell Dmg


Greatly affects Int heroes with nuke spells, making them to have more potential in late game situation. Especially heroes that are popular in last meta:
 Outworld Devourer
 Puck
 Queen of Pain

Better wave clearing for Int pushers:
 Death Prophet
 Pugna
 KotL
 Jakiro

Int-based spell gained a huge buff
 Silencer
 Skywrath Mage

Did I mentioned about nuke spells?
 Zeus
 Lion
 Lina
 Oracle

New Item - Bloodthorn


Works like Orchid, but adds critical damage bonus to physical right-click attacks. (Orchid amplifies all damage by dealing magical damage at the end, which can be avoided by dispel or magic immune)

Also, Rod of Atos no longer provides True Strike on target.

Core Item for
 Clinkz
 Viper
 Windranger

Suitational for
 Ursa
 Sniper
 Bounty Hunter
 Vengeful Spirit
 Winter Wyvern

Cons: 
useless when opponent carry has Black King Bar

Pros:
solve mana problem
amplify attacks of allies as well
kill roshan faster


New Item - Echo Sabre


Works like Legion's Moment of Courage or Weaver's Geminate Attack for melee hero.

Core Item for
 Slardar
 Spirit Breaker
 Lifestealer

Situational Item for
 Ursa
 Troll Warlord (melee form)
 Riki
 Antimage
 Lone Druid's Spirit Bear
 Phantom Assassin
 Slark

Cons:
waste slot for carry hero

Pros:
more effective with Desolator or Skull Basher on melee hero


New Item - Hurricane Pike


Improved forcestaff that can push both yourself and enemy hero away, works like repelling magnets.

MUST BUY for
 Enchantress

Situational for
 Sniper
 Drow Ranger
 Vengeful Spirit

Cons:
don't buy it unless you are Enchantress

Pros:
Impetus Impetus Impetus


New Item - Blight Stone



Pick Spirit Breaker
Buy Blight Stone (300 gold), Orb of Venom (275 gold), Town Portal Scroll (50 gold)
Total 625 gold
Get First Blood. Worth!


New Item - Infused Raindrops



How to block Zeus's Ult at fountain?


New Item - Wind Lace



Alternative for poor poor supports that cannot afford brown boots...


New Item - Tome of Knowledge



A quick early boost for supports to level up faster, possibly for Lv6.

Hero Changes Highlights

Bad News
Riki is now in Captain's Mode and got a buff (Blink Strike dmg increased)

Good News
Arc Warden cannot rat with Divine Rapier anymore

Nerf Hammer
Death Prophet has been nerfed

Invoker now has 0.05 cast point

Lifestealer cannot infest big dragon, big golem nor big thunderhide

Nature's Prophet, Treants now give more bounty gold

Omniknight's Degen Aura no longer pierces Spell Immunity


Scepters

 Earthshaker
One of the most significant scepter change in 6.87 patch: With scepter Earthshaker's Enchant Totem can jump, allowing him to position better and cast Echo Slam. However, this does not completely eliminate the need for Blink Dagger, yet, scepter may be easier to build given that he can still progress with each 1000 gold spent on the components.

 Skywrath Mage
Another buzzard change: Mystic Flare Scepter duration increased from 2.4 to 12 seconds, same dps, 20/10/5 cooldown.

Originally total damage is 600/1000/1400 over 2.4 sec = 250/416/583 dps
With scepter total damage is 3000/5000/7000 over 12 sec, same dps + spell amplify from Int

Which is at least 3%/4%/5%

Although its unlikely that enemy will be standing still for 12 sec, however, imagine a 5 second Chronosphere + Mystic Flare = 1287/2163/3060 magical damage (min spell amp included)

 Gyrocopter
Adds a Side Gunner, fires an attack automatically at random enemy units within 600 AoE every 1.4 seconds.

Side Gunner can attack when being stunned or disabled,
but not when hidden (Astral Imprisonment) or invisible or disabled by Break

As Gyrocopter can clear out creeps with his AoE spells, this allow him to take fights better as a carry, allow him to survive even when being stunned while Satanic is on, however, facing against Outworld Devourer's Astral Imprisonment, this is quite useless but Outworld Devourer is usually banned in first phase.

 Storm Spirit
Scepter causes Electric Vortex to be a 475 AoE ability around your hero.

Even with the Int spell amp mechanic, this is more likely Icefrog attempt give him some attention. Yet, the issue with Storm Spirit lies in its restricted mobility & vision. And its heavy gold and exp position in solo mid, which is crucial in getting kills and snowball into victory.

.
.
.

More pub oriented, these are the less significant heroes with scepter:
Bloodseeker >> double rupture
Mirana >> auto Starfall with 8 sec cd
Oracle >> 0.1 cast point, 1 sec cd for Purifying Flames
Winter Wyvern >> can fly at any time
