what is jakiro good for??

[JolyJew СлаваУкраине]

i have tried this hero a few games and he/they just feel terrible to play.

dual breath and fire ball have very short range, yet the hero is squishy

ice path takes FOREVER to form and anyone can just side-step if they see it from a distance.
what is even the point of ice patth? earthshaker's fissure is better in every single way and it just costs extra mana, it's pointless

and the ultimate is laughabale this 100 dps macropyre looks impressive, but all the enemy needs to do is to step away, and that's it.

so far the only way i found to make jakiro deal any decent damage is to get rod of atos. but that's only a single-target item. while all of his skills are made for big team-fights.

to add insult to injury, his attack range is short, his attack speed is slow, his movement and turn rate are painfull sluggish

so how the hell am i supposed to use this hero effectivly???

For a pushing draft strat.

His 3 skill doesn't require mana,low cd and can be casted on towers,his 2 can't be dodged once it is casted,if you cast it before someone will tp,he won't dagger or dodge it thus good counter for escaping heroes(puck,tinker,tuskar,od,etc), his 1 skill is very good for harassing at early stage, his ulti is going for defing big amount of creeps when your team got wiped,in order to some time, it is also good with combination with heroes that got massive ult. Pretty good hero in my opinion

[vongogh]

Read spells, jaks spells slow enemy attack speed. Ice path can stop bara charge, don't need to be accurate, just cast in his path, if enemy melee hero attacking your team, ice path stop them all, and your other spells slow down their attack speed, while dealing dot dmg. Early to mid game Jak is very strong. Even late game, ulti can be very annoying to deal with in the middle of a 5v5 showdown, they have to walk out of it while your carries unload on them. Bkb can counter, like for any magical support.

yeah, he's quite a complacent person, not at at jolly;
Jaki is good for when the enemy is pushing on you, Freeze them, add fire to slow them, then throw a fireball when you have them all together and clustered
It's best to play a rod of atos on him, as you can pin them down and then freeze them - however people will try counter this with a force staff;
look at your talents, you get to extend the attack range - or just buy a dragon lance, which you turn into the Pike; so Jaki is forever able to keep up with the enemy;
p.s. a dragon has to summon the fire and ice, it's not a case of spiderman pushing out webs; this is a WALL of ice, like In game of thrones;
You also freeze the enemy first,and then cast the ultimate;
If none of the above is basic to you, you should have played bot match more; as you would have learnt how to play Jaki easily; and successfully;
You can cast ice wall diagonally too, so that if the enemy even walk into the wall, they will be frozen;
Also get a bloodthorn so that your abilities crit for this twin-siamese-dragon

OK I see now.
Jakiro is a defensive hero to stop pushes and counter initations

I tried to play him as an initiator and nuker that's why I had time with him

Good to know even though I probably won't play him. I don't like being defensive

I love Jakrio- The Twin headed dragon. I will tell u how i play ,maybe u might find it useful.

Level (1-8) : early game i try to go the Off-Lane,Jarkiro has Amazing base HP at the begining of the game , use that to your advantage. i usually pick up initial items to get my Boots of Tranquilty ready first ( the healing boots) this works great while i go in and out of battle to pick runes and bounty and come back to lane with full HP.

the dragons attack speed is HOPELESS, however he last hits surprisingly well. my usualy lane strategy is this-> on EVERY creep wave. begin by using your DUAL Breath on the wave, try and target the enemy hero's along the wave line.
and then Hover around the creeps and harazz the enemy.

use your FireBall as soon as its ready( 0 mana cost) only concentrate on harrazing enemy and dont let them farm !

i try to max Dual Breath and Fire Ball by level 8 .

level 9 - i usually have a ring of basillius and a headress of regen by this time to further support my lane mate with healing and mana regen.
i try to leave the lane by this time and go around the map harrazing everyone on the way and start to push TOWERs

pusing towers is a BREEZE ! one Fire ball to the tower and the tower STOPs hitting back. liquid fire works amazing. the tower can barely make 1 hit per 2-3 secs or so... jakrio is amazing at tower pushes . if the enemy did not group up while u take a tower. keep pushing and get the next one too.. even if u have to die!

level 9, 10, 11 & 12 i get my ICE PATH skill up.. i try to use ice path as a combo.. first i dual breath to slow down enemy... then i hover around to the sides of the lane and cast ice path horizontaly and Cut-off the retreat path for enemy. ( dual breath is Damage over time for 5 SECS ) enough time for u to fall back dissappear into the trees and send and ice path through them.

I try to get AGANIMS for this dragon... the ultimate works amazingly well.. aganims improves the ultimates duration a lot , not to mention the Amazing Range.... wew.. i usually use the ultimate as the 1st thing in my combo.
great time to use ultimate would be when the enemy heros are ganging up and pushing your tower.. simply start with your ultimate ! use that firery path over your own tower. the enemy melee hero's will dare not stay there,if they did then release your dual breath and spit a fire ball on them. this will totaly slow them down ( literally slow motion attacks) if they start to fall back , ice path ! just make sure you are far away at all times

now i usually get every item that will help increase the RANGE of SPELLs . incuding the talents. u need that spell range to stay away from range and keep pummeling spells until u run dry of mana..

i love to play the dragon very aggressively in the early game and create lots of space for my team.

There are a few games ive played 45-50 mins range. and i have probably used 8-10 atttacks in the entire duration of the game. yes !! i know the attack speed is horrible , but in all honesty there are some games where ive not even used the right click even once and won the game. the dragon is purely about spells !

Jakiro is a good carry imo better than support.

[engineer_main]

once i managed to kill anti-mage in 1v1 as jakiro. i think he was level 20+ or something and i was lower than him.

He's both, and one of the easiest - rod of atos ftw;

Wow, he probably didn't have aghanims, so many pro's play Antimage without aghz, and it's a stupid loss;

[hrooza]

squishy? that thing have more hp then es and omni at level one :X in fact he has the highest starting str for int heroes
