Slardar is a powerful close-range stunner who depends on physical damage. He excels at chasing down fragile heroes and Bashing them into the dirt. Slithereen Crush and Bash allow him to stun and damage a target, then follow up with additional bashes to keep them stunned while he finishes them off. In order to get into close enough to use his stun skills, Slardar relies on Sprint. Sprint gives him a massive movement-speed bonus for a relatively long duration, but comes with the negative side effect of making him take extra damage from enemy attacks and spells. Slardar may find himself Sprinting right into a trap, with his increased vulnerability putting a sudden end to his pursuit. Amplify Damage allows Slardar to keep an eye on his target, while drastically reducing their armor, making them easy prey for his powerful attacks once he has chased them down. When faced with this dangerous hero, it's best to keep as far away as possible.

Gameplay
Slarder is a powerful DPS chaser due to his Sprint for movement speed and amplify damage,crush and stun for extra damage. However to be a successful chaser Slarder requires more hp to be able to tank the damage caused by towers and creeps. Bracers would be very beneficial to him as it increases his hp and his damage, both of which Slarder needs to fulfil his role.
