By dotacoach.gg

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Sand King:

Make sure pull camps are open for pulling as you will be pushing the lane non-stop.
Check opponents` inventories for detection frequently if you took the Sandblast facet.
Tag creeps with Caustic Finale and if an opponent comes close, you can Burrowstrike or Stinger to last hit and explode creeps.
Sand King is great at defending towers as you can Sand Storm in front and hide yourself in trees with the Sandblast facet.
Once you have Blink Dagger, try to surprise opponents before they are able to see it in your inventory.
Stay out of vision and be patient in the fights. Choose a good moment to jump with your combo. Highly advisable you to cast your ultimate before going in with your Burrowstrike.
Sand King is great at split pushing when not much is happening on the map.
