Hero Skills

Unlike most other heroes, Roger has an ultimate unlocked from the very first level. The hero has 3 skills, but in two different forms - human and wolf, so there are 6 in total. He is the only hero who is both a fighter and shooter. In this guide, we will talk about which skills should be used in certain scenarios, as well as combinations of skills so that the hero can reach his potential.

Passive Skill - Full Moon Curse

This skill enhances the character's basic attack. If Roger is in normal form, then his abilities slow the enemy on hit. If the hero uses the ultimate, then the slow effect will no longer be applied to enemies - instead, each attack of the character will deal increased damage.

First ability (human) - Open Fire

When using this skill, Roger begins to fire his weapon. It fires two shots that deal physical damage on impact. The character then uses hunting nets. If an enemy gets caught in them, he receives a strong slowdown and loses several units of armor. Open Fire cooldown is 7 seconds.

First Skill (Wolf) - Wolf Leap

Roger jumps towards the target, dealing physical damage (can be 3 enemies at the same time). However, he does not receive any damage from enemies. Killing or assisting reduces the cooldown of this skill by 80%.

Second Ability (Human) - Hunter Steps

Hunter's Steps when used, increase the character's movement speed by 1.5 times for a short time. When leveling up this ability, the cooldown for its use will be reduced - from 10 seconds at the first level to 6 seconds at the maximum. As the level increases, mana consumption also increases - from 50 to 75.

Second Skill (Wolf) - Bloodthirsty Howl

Roger lets out a howl, increasing his attack speed by 1,15x for 5 seconds. For its duration, if an enemy Hero with less than 40% health is in line of sight, its movement speed is increased by 50%.

Ultimate (human) - Wolf Transformation

When his ultimate ability is activated, Roger leaps forward. If it hits an enemy, they will take damage and be greatly slowed down for 0.8 seconds. Transforming a character into a Wolf increases protection from physical and magical attacks by 40–100 units, and also increases the hero’s movement speed by 1.4 times. The ability does not consume mana when used. Recharge time is 4.5–6 seconds, decreasing depending on the level of pumping.

Ultimate (wolf) - Return to human form

Roger rolls in the indicated direction and transforms into a human, gaining a shield for 1,5 seconds.

Best Emblems

For Roger you can use Assassin emblemsto increase damage dealt. These emblems provide both an increase in movement speed and an increase in physical penetration. Of the main talents, we would recommend using Killer feast, as it restores some health points and increases movement speed after killing an enemy.

If you are going to play Roger in the gold lane, then you can take the talent Master Assassinto get more 5% damage while fighting a single enemy hero.

Suitable spells

• Retribution. An indispensable spell to play in the forest, as it will allow you to get more gold when killing forest monsters.
• Kara. Suitable if you are going to play on the line. Allows you to deal additional pure damage to enemies.

Top build

Roger most often goes to the forest, so most of the builds are similar to each other: items increase attack speed, physical damage, and also give a lot of lifesteal. Attack speed and pure damage lifesteal will be perfect against any team, which is why this build is widely used.

To pick the right items, keep an eye on which characters your opponent is picking, then determine your role on the battlefield. To play on the line, you can use the same type of assembly, but with ordinary boots.

1. Sturdy boots of the ice hunter.
2. Wind Speaker.
3. Demon Hunter Sword.
4. Endless fight.
5. Hunter strike.
6. Evil growl.

Spare equipment:

1. Shield of Athena - to increase magical protection.
2. Winter Wand - if you die often, the opponents have a refarm.

How to play Roger

Roger is one of the most popular junglers even at the professional level. He is easy to use, very hard to catch, and a deadly late game hero. Its versatile nature allows you to switch between the roles of shooter and fighter. High attack speed is a nightmare for towers and enemy characters. Here are some tips for the various stages of the match that will improve your understanding of the gameplay mechanics of this hero.

Beginning of the game

At this stage, other players have not yet had time to develop much, so Roger can destroy opponents with long-range weapons without leveling up. Efforts need to be put into pumping Wolf Transformation, because it gives a damage buff and has a fast reload. The character does not need to go to the center of the map - this place can be dangerous due to tanks, and experience for pumping will be enough in other places. In a short time, it is necessary to pump the ultimate to level 4.

In the early game, try to get the purple buff. The character has six skills, so he will need a lot of mana. Lacking the purple buff can cause you to constantly respawn, slowing down your farming speed. Destroy jungle monsters or creep stacks and help your allies in the lanes.

Try to make early kills! If Roger falls behind in the farm, then it will be difficult for him in the future. At the beginning of the match, you need to make several kills, you can buy the first item much faster than the others.

Mid game

In the middle of the game, watch out for team battles. Join the battle when your teammates need it. Avoid heroes with a lot of health and take on shooters, magicians and killers. Try to deal damage to enemies with your first skill and basic ranged attacks. Keep an escape ability handy so that in case of a difficult situation, you can easily escape.

Slow down the enemy with the first ability in human form, then charge in and use the first skill in wolf form. In the mid game, focus on killing Turtles and taking out enemies in small skirmishes, which will allow you to buy all the items from the build.

late game

Roger is at his best in the late game. After completing the build, his basic attack deals massive damage. If several enemy heroes have low health points, then there is practically nothing to fear. Evade their skills with skill wolf form and destroy them. The hero can also very quickly kill the lord. Try to hide in the grass and ambush several enemy characters. After killing them, you need to demolish the towers as quickly as possible and end the match.

Conclusions

Roger is a true beast on the battlefield. He can be an excellent jungler, as he has high mobility. Pursuing in wolf form and changing appearance during battle takes the hero to a new level. His fast ganking, lightning-fast rotation, and ability to dodge with his abilities make him one of the most powerful characters. We hope this guide will help you win easy victories and increase your rank.
