Magnus Magnataur - Guide

HERO INTRODUCTION
The Magnataur's primary role is using his powerful Reverse Polarity ability to ensure his team's victory in battle. With proper placement, a single Reverse Polarity can change the outcome of a team battle and potentially win the game. If combined with other area of effect spells, Reverse Polarity can destroy an entire enemy team. However, Magnus himself is no pushover in combat. Using Empower and Mighty Swing in conjunction gives him a very strong physical attack capable of damaging multiple bunched up units, perfect when used after Reverse Polarity. In addition, Magnus has an area of effect spell of his own: Shockwave. Due to its relatively low mana cost and cooldown coupled with its high damage, Shockwave is an effective tool for harassing enemies in a lane and finishing off damaged foes. Although the power of Reverse Polarity tends to overshadow his other skills, Magnus is far from a one-skill hero.

BACKGROUND STORY
Maybe the most tremendous being on the Scourge, Magnus is a power to be reckoned with. Trained from birth to become a potent warrior, he is now at the peak of his strength. The Magnataur's giant axe can cleave paths through his enemies, and create a bone-breaking shockwave that ripples through the ground. Further strengthened by a demonic magic that enhances his attacks, he can crush enemies with shocking ease. His greatest power, though, is the ability to create an immensely strong magnetic field, sucking in helpless foes to meet their end.

1. Shockwave
2. Skewer
3. Shockwave
4. Skewer
5. Shockwave
6. Reverse Polarity
7. Shockwave
8. Skewer
9. Skewer

STARTING ITEM BUILD:



TACTICS:
You should stay on lane with ogre magi because of his 3rd ability + your empower the result it's devastating; you'll become a war machine.
If you're going to play with kelen's dagger in your item build, you'll become a very good battle starter when you're blinking next to enemies and activate reverse polarity, and because of your natural hp that allows you to take a lot of damange.
