situational, problem is, if the enemy supports come to gank you you're fucked, you'll most likely always be at a lower % of hp as husk, and all it takes is a venge stun and a few right clicks and you die, however, husk mid can be good if it is vs almost any melee hero and their sups are more of babysit heroes rather than ganking ones.
its garbage, your good at zoning and stuff but extremely succeptible to ganks, if you dont stand on their hill then huskar mid is a waste
you need your team to dual/tri their safe lane to keep the supports locked there, or at least have a treant protector
i think safe is better anyway, easy access to large camp and armlet components, uncontested farm for that crucial first 2000-3000 gold, and proximity to roshan on radiant
good in normal skill. basically can fight off any mid ez. hopefully no one else is there though
no I'm seriously asking, I never play huskar and rarely play against him, does spear work on roshan? Does lifebreak work on roshan?
I see how he could solo with just dominator and his passive but was jw about his other abilities.
sorry
u go armlet first and then everything else is situational i believe but you kill rosh at a decent pace with just armlet if ur not braindead theres minor risk involved but filthy huskar spammers need aegis to cement their snowball
because hes a timing based hero who gets outscaled you want to break their base early, and armlet + 1 item usually halberd bkb hotd or dlance/pike is a massive power spike and then you try ur best to rax them
lifebreak works on rosh iirc but mainly ur max attack speed with burning spears melts him
Get tranq before armlet is viable too. U can trade harras and win with ur spear and regen back. And as mid, the bonus mov speed is nice for ganking pre armlet.
Never buy urn and pt first pls
Source - huskar spammer cause i like the hero
Stand near the creep as close as possible and orb walk the mid. With skill 3 is so easy to deny all the creeps and win the lane by urself if 1 vs 1.
If 1 vs 2 , just ask r support to come too. Huskar is a monster early game - mid especially if armlet done before 9 minute
as i said not common does not mean SOMETIMES is not viable at all
example : Anti Mage vanguard > echo 13 minute > manta > abysall is fucking beast tried it (maybe cause i like aggresive playstyle idk)
alche spam acid? bonus armor + regen
zeus spam lightning ? bonus armor + regen + wand
off course its better to rush armlet usually
heck , i even played at lot huskar OFFLANE. and tranq let you manfight harras burning spear and back up regen easy
people tend to armlet + hotd + brown boots anyway. why not tranq fit in it SITUATIONAL?
check my recent game tried a lot tranquil first before armlet , btw played on offlane
If the enemy mid doesnt have a good harass tool, or he need a lot of resources (like mana and hp) to contest you, it is a good pick.
Why would you bother with tranquil on Huskar when you have a heal already? It's not like you're using that mana for anything else. Even your hypothetical scenarios make no sense, why would you get tranquils to counter Zeus? Huskar already is one of the hardest counters to him, and the armor won't do anything.
Huskar doesnt really need any boots, i usually go brown into armlet rush. I know mid huskar is bad, but in the shit tier when most supports suck donkey cock and dont rotate or rotate poorly he can just dominate the lane. I wud say only viper cud stand up to huskar.
porximity to roshan? Does burning spear work on rosh? Does lifebreak?!?!
Yes and yes.
Plus he is a hero you can leave his ult at level 1 until 15 or 16 or even the entire game since the only thing that barely changes is the slow.
I go glimmer aghs octarine on huskar no kappa (only sometimes)

Is Huskar mid viable option? Versus which heros? I know that he has to snowball or vanish and that is why people play him safelane, but with all this harass cant he win some mid lanes early?
PS So far i can confirm that he is great versus team with no stuns/lockdowns and together with drow and some good initiators in the team
