PEBBLES: A GUIDE TO FISTING YOUR ENEMIES

From the Official Heroes of Newerth Forums by [LP]Anarchy1337


(In Honor of CrimsonQueso's King Leoric guide)

DISCLAIMER:

THIS GUIDE IS MEANT FOR PUBS AND IS THE AUTHORS OPINION AND
IS MEANT TO BE HUMOROUS AND SLIGHTLY HELPFUL.
THERE ARE SITUATIONAL ITEMS FOR EVERY GAME.
NO BITCHING WHEN YOUR TEAM MAKES YOU CONCEDE.

INTRO TO PEBBLES:

PEBBLES IS A PORT HERO FROM DOTA. THE ORIGINAL CHARACTER'S NAME WAS TINY. THIS GUIDE IS LOOSELY BASED
OFF THE GENERAL CONSENSUS OF THE COMMUNITY. HIS MAIN JOB IS TO USE HIS STUN AND TOSS-LIKE ABILITY TO
DAMAGE AND INITIATE BATTLES. HE IS A STRENGTH HERO BASED AROUND ATTACK SPEED AND HIS SKILL'S STATIC MANA COST.
LAST HITTING ON THIS HERO IS THE EASIEST OF ANY HERO. YOUR IMPACT TIME COMPARED TO THE ANIMATION IS VERY SHORT. ANIMATION CANCELING IS VERY HELPFUL WITH THIS HERO.
PROS:

* GOOD AoE STUN --> VALUED IN TEAM BATTLES
* GOOD NUKE POWER
* GOOD STR. GAIN --> TANKY GIANT
* OK INT GAIN

CONS:

* HUGE MODEL BY LATE GAME
* VERY LOW AGILITY --> SLOW ATTACK SPEED
* HORRIBLE ARMOUR
* SLOW MS
* LOW MANA POOL
PEBBLES HAS THE LOWEST ARMOR VALUE IN THE GAME. YOU WILL DIE. A LOT.

ITEM BUILD:

STARTING ITEMS:


TWO CRUSHING CLAWS, A PRETENDER CROWN AND RUNES OF BLIGHT REAL MEN DONT FINISH BRACERS AT THE START.

OR

GUARDIAN RING, RUNES OF BLIGHT AND A PRETENDER CROWN

MID GAME:


YOUR AIMING TO BUILD A RING OF SORCERY TWO BRACERS AND STEAMBOOTS BEFORE LEVEL 16. THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM IS THE PORTALKEY IT HELPS YOU POSITION YOUR "ONE TWO PUNCH" AND ALLOWS YOU TO CHASE AND SHOVE A FIST UP THOSE ENEMIES' ARSE.

END GAME:


AFTER 16 YOU SHOULD BE BUILDING A DAEMONIC BREASTPLATE ON TOP OF THE TWO BRACERS, STEAMBOOTS, PORTALKEY, AND RING OF SORCERY.

WARNING:
UNTIL S2 GETS THEIR **** TOGETHER AND FIXES THE EFFECT OF ATTACK SPEED REDUCTION ON PEBBLES ENLARGE DAEMONIC BREASTPLATE SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A FROSTFIELD PLATE

SKILL BUILD:

UNTIL WE HAVE LEORIC WE HAVE TO PLAY A HERO AS MANLY AS THIS ONE.
YOUR SKILLS COST 120 MANA THROUGH EVERY RANK OF THEM. THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO KEEP TRACK OF HOW MANY CASTS YOU CAN USE.
ALSO YOUR SKILLS HAVE A RELATIVELY LONG CD STALAGMITES(20 SEC), CHUCK(15 SEC). SINCE CHUCK HAS A SHORTER CD THAN STALAGMITES YOU MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE TO CHUCK TWICE AND THEN STUN ALLOWING MORE FISTING OF YOUR ENEMIES OR YOUR WORTHLESS TEAMMATES TO SHOW UP EVEN THOUGH YOU PING OVER 9000 TIMES.

LEVEL1:STALAGMITES (WHAT ARE YOU A RETARD? ITS A DAMN STUN)
-FOR USE IN KILLING/RUNNING WHEN YOUR BADDIE TEAM DOESN'T CALL MIA

LEVEL2:CHUCK (LOLNUKE)
-FOR KILLING THINGS DUH.
-AND THROWING THOSE ENEMIES AWAY OR TO THAT JERK ON YOUR TEAM WHO IS ABOUT TO DIE.

LEVEL3:STALAGMITES
-IF YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT YOU WANT TO MAX THIS YOU MIGHT BE A MOUTH BREATHING RETARD.

LEVEL4:CHUCK (LOLBIGGERNUKE)
-SEE LEVEL 2 DESCRIPTION

LEVEL5:STALAGMITES(DUUUUR WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS. MOAR DMG.)
-FOR RUNNING/KILLING BETTER.

LEVEL6:ENLARGE OR CHUCK
-IF YOU HAVE MORE ATTACK SPEED FROM ITEMS GET ENLARGE.
(no this has nothing to do with those emails you keep getting about your member)

-GETTING ENLARGE WILL INCREASE THE DAMAGE OF YOUR CHUCK AND INCREASE THE RANGE OF YOUR STUN, BUT SLOW YOUR ATTACK SPEED.
NOW USE THAT TINY BRAIN OF YOURS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU NEED MOST

-AM I GETTING CHASED DOWN LIKE WILD GAME AND RAPED?
GET STEAMBOOTS AND ENLARGE FOR MOVESPEED AND KICKASS FISTING ACTION.

-ARE THEY RUNNING SCARED WHEN I SHOW UP?
GET STALAGMITES TO HIT THEM HARDER BEFORE YOU CHUCK THEM

-ARE THEY GETTING AWAY WITH LOTS OF HEALTH?
GET CHUCK TO HIT THEM HARDER OR DONT SUCK EITHER ONE

LEVEL 7:STALAGMITES
-IF YOU HAVENT LEVEL YOUR AWESOME AOE STUN, DO IT YOU INBRED GIRLYMAN

LEVEL 8:CHUCK/ENLARGE
-FINISH LEVELING THIS SO YOU CAN HURRY UP AND KILL PEOPLE WITH THE ONE TWO PUNCH.
-THROW YOU ENEMIES TO THEIR DEATHS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD OR YOUR GONNA HAVE TO CONCEDE.
-AT THIS POINT GETTING ENLARGE DEPENDS ON IF YOU GOT OFF YOUR BROKE ASS AND BOUGHT SOME STEAMBOOTS YET.

LEVEL 9:CHUCK/ENLARGE
-MAX THIS THEN START OWNING CHUMPS


LEVEL 10:SLAB SKIN
-PEBBLES HAS THE LOWEST ARMOR OF ANY HERO IN THE GAME. SO THIS SKILL IS IMPORTANT. NOT ONLY THAT BUT IT REDUCES THE DURATION OF DEBUFFS. MAKING DOTS DO LESS DAMAGE.

LEVEL 11:SLAB SKIN/ENLARGE
-IF YOU HAVE MORE ATTACK SPEED FROM ITEMS GET ENLARGE.
(no this has nothing to do with those emails you keep getting about your member)
-ITS IMPORTANT TO NOW MAX THIS SKILL SINCE YOU PROBABLY ARE ACTUALLY PARTICIPATING IN TEAM BATTLES/ GANKS.

LEVEL 12:SLAB SKIN/ENLARGE
-KEEP LEVELING THIS SO YOU CAN INITIATE AND NOT DIE.
-ENLARGE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHUCK DAMAGE SO YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH THE ENEMY TEAM'S HEALTH GAINS. BUT SHOULD ONLY BE LEVELED IF YOU HAVE STEAMBOOTS. OTHERWISE THE LOSS OF ATTACK SPEED IS 15% INSTEAD OF 5%.

LEVEL 13:ENLARGE
I HOPE YOU HAVE MONEY. BECAUSE ITS WARPCLEFT TIME.


LEVEL 14: SLABSKIN

LEVEL 15-25 STATS
YOU SHOULD BE GETTING STATS FROM HERE ON OUT. YOUR LAST RANK OF ENLARGE WILL BE LEVELED WHEN YOU HAVE A WARPCLEFT

SKILL STRATEGY:

THE ONE TWO PUNCH:

THE USE OF BOTH YOUR STALAGMITES AND CHUCK ON THE SAME TARGET IN HOPES TO MAKE STALAGMITES HIT TWICE.
WHEN THE TARGET IS CHUCKED HE BECOMES IMMUNE TO DMG WHILE IN THE AIR, THUS ALLOWING IS SOON TO BE
DEAD ASS TO BE HIT BY THE DMG STALAGMITES DOES. PROTIP:MAKE SURE THEY ARE YOUR CLOSEST AND NEWEST TARGET IN CHUCK'S RADIUS. OTHERWISE YOU LOOK LIKE THE SCRUB YOU ARE FOR USING A GUIDE.
THE RADIUS OF YOUR STUN IS SMALLER THAN THE SIZE OF YOUR CHUCKS RADIUS. SO ITS HARD TO SCREW UP IF YOU CAST IT ON THEM.
AS SEEN HERE.
