Meepo: Geomancer's guide

By MaxQ (The Newest DOTA Strategist on DOTAtips.info)

Hit or Run that is the right question when u see this awk little blueish guy.
Well if u know the pros and cons of this hero you can't loose, never. Meepo is probably the best hero there is in dota, you ask why?, well because hes not just 1 hero, he is 4in1 you got 4 heroes with his ultimate spell.

Divided We Wtand"Meepo summons an imperfect, semi-autonomous duplicate of himself, which can gain gold and experience and abilities. However, the clones cannot wield any items but the boots that Meepo himself wears. If one clone dies, they all die.

Ok, let me explain:First of all your primary item will be Mekansm. You must focus on getting this as fast as you can, this will help you kill Roshan ALONE at lvl 12, well i did so you just try and you will see it works, just atack roshan with your 3 meepos now, and when 1 of them looses to much health just take it back and let roshan atack another one then you send all back atacking and so on.

When all of meepo's health are low just use Mekansm and your back in business again. Trust me it works. I killed roshan 3 times alone in one game having low lvl. OMG Earthbind (E) this is your catch and kill spell, all of your meepo's can use this spell so the enemy never escapes when you throw one net after the other as you attack. Level this skill early, you will need it.This costs 100 mana and has 10 seconds cooldown. On 1on1 they have no chance.

Geostrike, a passive spell/skill lvl up this one early to, it gives 20% slow and 15dmg/second for 2 seconds, this is more than enough if they manage to run somehow.

Poof (F), i personally let this skill be the last to put points in, you will probably find guides that tell you how to use and what powerfull this spell is but me, i don't like it but its your choice how you play this hero. With this spell Meepo can teleport to another Geomancer dealing 160 damage in a 400 AOE (range), it uses up 180 mana and has 30 seconds cooldown.

I have seen player's own the game with meepo with just two items Mekansm and Boots of Speed, you should buy these no matter what you buy next.Then you could buy Assault Cuirass or whatever items that have an aura that will help your team and your geomancers to.

You can always let a geomancer stand near the battle to gain xp, and farm with the others or vice versa, you will make as much money that you never imagined. The best player i have ever seen playing meepo was Stiflur on Europe server. This guide goes to his credit. Keep the dota games running and check back soon for another winning guide.
