Batrider’s Ability
STICKY NAPALM
Drenches an area in sticky oil, amplifying damage from Batrider’s attacks and abilities and slowing the movement speed and turn rate of enemies in the area. Additional casts of Sticky Napalm continue to increase damage, up to 10 stacks.
FLAMEBREAK
Hurls an explosive cocktail that explodes when it reaches the target location, knocking back, and dealing damage over time to enemies in the area.
FIREFLY
Batrider takes to the skies, laying down a trail of flames from the air. The fire damages any enemies it touches, and destroys trees below Batrider. Batrider has bonus day/night vision while Firefly is active.
FLAMING LASSO
Lassoes an enemy and drags them in Batrider’s wake. Victims cannot be dragged over impassable terrain. Dragged units cannot move, attack, or use abilities. Teleporting or blinking will break the lasso.
FLAMEBREAK – SHARD ABILITY UPGRADE
Causes Flamebreak to have two charges and apply a Sticky Napalm charge on impact.
FLAMING LASSO – SCEPTER ABILITY UPGRADE
Flaming Lasso grabs both its target, as well as the target’s nearest allied hero within range. The secondary target is tethered to the first.
Batrider’s Skill Order
Skill Order: Firefly -> Sticky Napalm -> Flamebreak -> Flaming Lasso.
Combo Batrider
Heroes combo: Batrider + Techies
Batrider’s Tips and tricks
Batrider can effectively jungle early with a few points put into Firefly and Sticky Napalm. Make sure to stack the camps to maximize income.
Make sure you have a Blink Dagger and a Smoke of Deceit when you gank with Flaming Lasso. Most enemies will not know what hit them.
Batrider has only 1200 day vision while most other heroes have 1800, keep this in mind when ganking as enemies may detect Batrider before he can see them.
Therefore, to ensure good ganks, Batrider should go with allies, plant Observer Wards beforehand, or hide in the trees.
During the mid-game, remember to go for ganks with Smoke, often times you can secure kills with just one ally.
Batrider dominates in fights at the Roshan Pit. That is, Sticky Napalm and Firefly gain him vision and pathing inside the pit, while Flamebreak can hit and disrupt enemies clumping inside, scattering them to be picked off.

Batrider’s Lore
There is no such thing as harmony among the creatures of the Yama Raskav Jungle. By bite, or claw, or pincer, or hoof, even the slightest sign of weakness means a swift death. They say the Rider was just a lad cutting chaff in his family’s field when he was taken, swept up by a massive morde-bat looking for take-out. But this boy had a better idea, and wriggled his way from his captor’s grip, onto the beast’s back, and hacked it down with his tools. Emerging from the bloody wreckage and intoxicated by the thrill of flight, the boy realized he’d found his calling.
The boy grew, and every summer he’d return to his family’s field, often setting out into the bush seeking to reclaim that first thrill of facing death in the form of jaws or a fatal fall. The years went on, but his fire only grew stronger. He studied the overgrowth, plunging deeper with each expedition, until finally he found his way to the caves at the heart of hostility. They say the Rider, on the eve of a scorching summer night, had nothing but a rope, a bottle of liquid courage and a burning determination to feel the skies once more, when he plunged inside
