My own Kardel Sharpeye top guide on becoming uber cool

I remember since long long long time ago , when I first play the DotA my first hero that I choose in pub games in Kardel. After long long long time of using him, I never feels very ousted in using him over the years. 

Here is my opinion on why Kardel is cool and he is living proof that old is golden

If you are not a fan of DotA , it's all right, I just tell you why I like Kardel only. :) No discussion or strategy here. :) 

Kardel Sharpeye is a testament to his name and race. Using only his finely honed skills of marksmanship and his trusty rifle, he sytematically destroys his opponents from afar. Taking great care to aim for the most vulnerable of areas, he is capable of severely injuring an opponent, and with a little extra time, has been known to simply dispose of an enemy in a single shot. His rifle is equipped with a secondary barrel, capable of launching a short burst of shrapnel at close range, causing massive damage.

What Kardel probably thinks right now: 

Back in War of Magi, I made 705 Scourge kills and nicknamed The Green Death 

(1) His gear (excluding the 6 items inventory) is pretty minimum compares to other heroes who wore flashy armours and uber looking weapon.  

(P.S: Gears description are my own opinions)

The modified boots which will make walking become much more inaudible in the battlefield and leave traceless marks on the soft grounds






The sniper rifle which are made of dwarven technology with iron-sight aim and reconciliation dampener  and smoke absorber to absorb the smoke from the explosion and bayonet in case of needs of melee attack.




The cloak which are dyed dark green to make camouflage more easier in the wood of sentinel area and it can be turned inside out to become dark grey in the dead woods of scourge area

An old foggy telescope as old as himself to look out for incoming enemies  and        attachable to the sniper to provide accurate sniping scope. 

Which are all concluded in self portrait of Kardel Sharpeye below !

(2) Although he is old, his range of attack is the longest in the game.

At level 4 ,his Take Aim skills can reach add to 220 ranges. Although 220 ranges may seems a bit it actually added up to base range of 550 and becomes 770 !!!!!. 

To compare, the tower range had 700 ranges only means that why tower can't hit you. you can hit tower as much as you like if you are still within Line of Sight in late games

(3) He is the only easiest learning curve hero to use. 

Two active skills and two passive skills are required to play this hero. 

What do you have to ask more for ? 

(4) His active skill (Ultimate excluded) can damages enemy troops, mechanical contraptions, heroes and even buildings ! 

Can you name which other hero of their skills actually damages the building AND mechanical contraptions ?  

(5) He haven't contracted cataract ... yet

And to make a good sniper, you must had a very pretty good eyesight liken to 20/20 eyesight. :) His constant rich diet of underground fish and fermented wheat beer must had done that. :) 

(6) His projectile is also the fastest in the game.

For in the lane that Kardel control, there's high possibility that you claim all the gold to yourself combined with your attack speed and attack animations. 

      (Hoho ... It's on the house,mates !  Bloody 135 golds  It's party time ! )

(7) As wine grows old , it improves

Unlike other hero skills, Kardel scattershot damages and slow effect IMPROVES with additional level without extra mana cost. Other hero skills improves but at expense of ADDITIONAL MANA COST. 

(8) It's an AGILITY-based old gramps

STRENGTH and INTELLIGENCE based gramps is a dime in a dozens (Google Ray Moon) but How many of the old man that you see can still outrun you ? :P 

(9) He is just pure bad ass old gramps.

Do you identify how many old man willing to hunt big giant sand scorpion ? He is just plain awesome and kick ass and badass too... 

Crixalis: Hohoho .. I gonna stun you

Kardel: See what is up on your head, sandy boy ! :D
