Broodmother Overview

Lore & Bio

For centuries, Black Arachnia the Broodmother lurked among lava caves deep beneath the smoldering crater Mount Pyrotheos, devoted to caring for and nurturing millions of baby spiders, keeping them alive. safe before they were large enough to be sent out to hunt in the world above.

Unexpectedly, one day, the greedy prime minister Ptholopthales suddenly appeared, and began to build his private Ziggurat building on the slopes of a long-dead volcano. Because he knew, even if someone dared to dream of his fortune, he would not be able to survive if he dared to cross the path of death haunted by spiders.

Definitely, Ptholopthales' calculations had a big impact on Broodmother's life. After a few centuries of peace, Black Arachnia suddenly discovers that there are uninvited guests who are constantly disturbing her life - armed thieves, daring horsemen "brave and unscrupulous" ”, or even young noblemen – their taste is very delicious, and also has a great influence on the “innocent children'' she is taking care of.

Tired of the break-ins, Broodmother "visited" Ptholopthales, and after he showed no intention of cooperating at all, she "gently" used spider silk to tie him up, then brought him home. “gift” for the “newborns”_what a special birthday party.

Unfortunately, the disappearance of the owner of that Ziggurat court merely made the curious even more daring. Then, after a newborn "baby" was stomped to death by a reckless adventurer, Black Arachnia finally exploded (her string of reason was finally broken). Broodmother crawled out of the nest, headed for the world above, vowing to wipe out all who could become a danger to her children. She would kill the last Hero if necessary, and would not stop until she could ensure that her precious "babys" could be safe once more in the "nursery." mine.

Skills building guide

The way to build skills above is applied by a lot of gosu, and I also find it quite reasonable: you need at least 4 cobwebs to stay in lane, push turrets, so 1level Spin web (W) in the stage head is not enough. With 30% attack rate in the early stages, this is not a small number, not to mention the skill Incapacitating Bite (E) gives a little bit of a slow, so 1 point is not superfluous at early levels, ultimate you can get at level 7 and the right level at next levels. Of course, Broodmother's trademark skill Spawn Spiderlings (Q) is maxed first.

Enemies & Allies

Allies

Chen

• Chen is an easy target for Broodmother as well as her Spiderlings because to his poor mobility and shortage of AoE skills.
• With Spawn Spiderlings and ambushing them through terrain in her web, Broodmother may effortlessly take out Chen's creeps.

Drow Ranger

• Broodmother and her Spiderlings take advantage of Drow Ranger's lack of mobility.

Enchantress

• Broodmother may swarm Enchantress with Spiderlings because she lacks AoE skills.
• Enchanted creeps may be killed by Spawn Spiderlings.

Medusa

• Webbed regions may be exploited to hit and run, weakening her and launching ganks while covering ground quickly.
• Despite the fact that Medusa can readily chase down Spiderlings when given adequate range, an Incapacitating Bite will have her overrun in no time.
• Medusa seldom builds a BKB in order to fully benefit from Mana Shield, but Broodmother can equip a Diffusal Blade to burn away mana.

Nature's Prophet

• If Broodmother creates a web, Sprout will be unable to safeguard Nature's Prophet.
• Because of Nature's Prophet's limited movement, he is vulnerable to Incapacitating Bite.
• Wrath of Nature does a lot of damage to spiderlings, thus they absorb a lot of it.

Phantom Assassin

• The single target powers of Phantom Assassin render her powerless in the face of swarms of Spiderlings.
• Broodmother will generally have enough time to employ Spin Web to defend herself because Phantom Assassin is constantly reliant on critical attacks.
• Because she is reliant on physical strikes, Incapacitating Bite cripples her.

Sniper

• Sniper is utterly defenseless against Incapacitating Bite, and Spiderlings in the lane may cause considerable damage.

Treant Protector

• Living Armor is quickly melted away by spiderlings.
• However, Broodmother's vision from Eyes In The Forest might be harmful.

Counters

Alchemist

• Greevil's Greed makes Broodmother's spiderlings significantly more valuable to Alchemist, making it crucial that he farms them, as compared to other heroes who have insignificant spider bounties.
• Acid Spray makes it tough to fight Alchemist in lane without losing some spiderlings to the additional damage, perhaps providing him farm that he would otherwise not have.

Axe

• Broodmother and her spiderlings are forced to attack by Berserker's Call, enabling for massive quantities of pure damage to be dealt by Counter Helix.

Ancient Apparition

• Ice Blast stops Insatiable Hunger from stealing your life, stops Spin Web regeneration, and kills spiderlings swiftly.

Bristleback

• The majority of Broodmother's and her spiderlings' damage is reduced by bristleback.
• Quill Spray will kill all spiders in its path, limiting Broodmother's ability to battle and farm.

Dark Seer

• In the landing phase, Ion Shell can kill Broodmother's spiderlings when used on a single spiderling in a cluster.
• Broodmother can be dragged out of the trees by vacuum.

Dragon Knight

• Breathe Fire will eliminate Broodmother's spiderites while severely injuring and reducing the damage output of her spiderlings.
• Broodmother's and her spiders' damage is mitigated by Dragon Blood's enhanced armor and regen.
• At level 2 and higher, Elder Dragon Form deals splash harm to Dragon Knight's auto attacks.

Earthshaker

• Aftershock, when used in conjunction with Enchant Totem, stops Broodmother from attacking Earthshaker without being stunned repeatedly.
• Spiderlings amplify Echo Slam, killing Broodmother, her swarm, and anybody else unfortunate enough to be close very instantaneously.
• Broodmother finds it difficult to continue assaulting adversaries (and lifestealing with Insatiable Hunger) without Black King Bar Black King Bar due to Earthshaker's large number of stuns.

Elder Titan

• Due to its short cooldown and extended sleep duration, Broodmother's ability to push towers may be hampered.
• Elder Titan may get a lot of damage, armor, and movement speed from Astral Spirit's spiderlings.
• Broodmother and her spiderlings' base armor and magic resistance are negated by Natural Order, which amplifies most damage delivered to them.

Items Counter

Boots of Travel

Favorable Matchups

Beastmaster

• Broodmother's swarm's damage output is improved by Inner Beast.
• Broodmother will pounce on targets identified by Primal Roar.

Dazzle

• When used on a group of Spiderlings, Shadow Wave causes a lot of damage to adjacent opponents.

Lifestealer

• When used on a Broodmother, Infest's speed in her webs might catch an adversary off guard.
• Broodmother will steal more than 100% of the damage she causes since the lifesteal from Open Wounds combines with the lifesteal from Insatiable Hunger. This lets Broodmother and Lifestealer triumph in situations where they are outnumbered.

Game plan

Early game

At the beginning of the game you need to level up and farm some items first. With Spin web (W), you can easily eat minions, poke enemies as well as have good healing ability. When you have reached lvl4 or higher and have a Soul ring, you are free to create spiders and poke enemies with Spawn Spiderlings (Q) or finish the target if possible. You need to be flexible in sticking to the ground by dropping silk near the forest to calculate the way back if there is danger, or necessary, to switch lanes in time.

Mid game

At this stage, you can still stick to a lane to split push or participate in a few small teamfights, but with the skill set, ganking and participating in small combat is really not suitable. In case you get ganked by the council, try not to take damage from champions, run into the woods to hide in or use the Town portal scroll to go home. With single targets that don't have to be your nemesis, just hit it boldly with no twists.

Late game

When you have enough equipment and maxed out your skills, you can already join the teamfight, or continue to split push like in the beginning and middle of the game, but with the pusher build style above, it is possible. Your odd push is still the best. In the case of total combat, except for the tanker, you can hit anyone else (prefer the cockroaches) because of your ultimate skill + equipment, you don't mind any game.
