Strygwyr, The Bloodseeker
Blood Bath
Whenever Strygwyr kills a unit, he bathes himself in blood, regenerating his life source.
An unusual hybrid of Demon and Orc, Strygwyr is an outcast amongst all mortal creatures. By thriving on and bathing himself with the blood of those he slays, Strygwyr can heal his wounds - even those that could prove fatal. Beware the fool who dares venturing alone, for Strygwyr can sense his blood miles away and gain vision through his helpless prey's eyes. Having ruptured the enemy with mighty blows in his bloodthirsty frenzies, Strygwyr corners his foe into making the impossible decision - bleed to death by trying to outrun the hasty demon, or be ripped to shreds in its awesome fury.

Bloodrage
Drives a unit into a bloodthirsty rage. That unit is unable to cast spells, has it's attack damage increased, and loses a small amount of hitpoints every second.
Level 1: Lasts 6 seconds, 20% damage increase, loses 20 HP per second.
Level 2: Lasts 9 seconds, 40% damage increase, loses 15 HP per second.
Level 3: Lasts 12 seconds, 60% damage increase, loses 10 HP per second.
Level 4: Lasts 15 seconds, 80% damage increase, loses 5 HP per second.
80 mana cost and 10 second cooldown at all levels.
Blood BathWhenever Strygwyr kills a unit, he bathes himself in blood, regenerating his life source.
Level 1: 10% of Heros max HP, 10% for creeps.
Level 2: 20% of Heros max HP, 15% for creeps.
Level 3: 30% of Heros max HP, 20% for creeps.
Level 4: 40% of Heros max HP, 25% for creeps.
You heal if you KILL a unit or hero, that means get the gold, not just help.You recover a higher percentage when killing heros, don't be afraid to fight till the death if you're sure of a kill.
Strygwyr's Thirst
Enables Strygwyr to sense the bleeding of an enermy hero below 40% HP, if it finds one, Strygwyr gains vision of that unit and increases movement speed.
Level 1: Area of effect: 1500, 11% movement speed.
Level 1: Area of effect: 1500, 11% movement speed.
Level 2: Area of effect: 3000, 22% movement speed.
Level 3: Area of effect: 4500, 33% movement speed.
Level 4: Area of effect: 6000, 44% movement speed
This is what makes people fear you.This will send people running. (Literally!) I can't even begin to stress how deadly this skill is, at level 4 you control half the map with your insane movement speed and ability to see heros under 40% HP, if you see someone running away, chase that chicken. You gain FULL sight of them, that means they can't wind walk away, they have nothing to save them.
Rupture(Ultimate)
Deals a mighty blow to the enemy causing any moment to result in bleeding and loss of life.
Level 1: Lasts 5 seconds, 150 mana cost, 150 damage, 20% of distance moved in damage.
Level 2: Lasts 7 seconds, 200 mana cost, 250 damage, 40% of distance moved in damage.
Level 3: Lasts 9 seconds, 250 mana cost, 350 damage, 60% of distance moved in damage.
70 seconds cooldown
This is my favourite skill and what makes people run away from you.You know that situation "OMFG WHAT DO I DO?!" that's what people will be like if you use this skill on them, firstly in inflicts damage, secondly, the more they run, the quicker they die, thirdly if your opponent is sensible he'll stand still, giving you an open opportunity to run up and kill him for the gold AND EXP. This skill works great for team battles.

The typical Bloodseeker skill build, except for the point in Bloodrage at the start. This is used as a silence to escape some nasty spamming early kills like Zues or Lion and to silence and kill them. It shouldn't be used as a damage boost at level 1 though, it's just not worth it. Blood Bath is a no-brainer, you need this to stay in your lane almost forever. You don't have much damage at early levels so Bloodrage is maxed out after Thirst. At level 6 it becomes possible for a kill.
Well, Blood Bath and Strygwyr's Thirst can be taken wherever you feel under different circumstances. Sometimes I get Strygwyr's Thirst maxed earlier over Blood Bath because I am last hitting and denying well, going for some kills and on high health. I might get Blood Bath maxed earlier because I need the precious health to stay in my lane. There is no 'set skill build' at level 3 and over, just mix it up and do what you think is necessary.
Item Build
Items to get:Boots of speed, Stout shield, tango
For a start, i think boots of speed is an item to buy so it would be easier to complete phase boots.You also could get a stout shield instead of boots, as it is good for early harassing, farming and you can really hurt even the best of BS players. Stout goes a long way to solving this problem, and also turns into something useful later on. Also, get tangos for sustaining ur HP.
Items to get:Phase Boots
Phase Boots give you a lot of what you need. The Armour + Damage helps you become very hard to keep out of lane, and are stat bonuses that you'll use all game. But what's really invuable here is the phase for so many different reasons.
First off, you get a little movespeed bonus, this can often allow you to get 2-3 crucial hits on a running opponent to proc your thirst. Furthermore, it can allow you to jet away after making a kill. Being able to run through creeps is a massive bonus, especially with a playstyle like BS's, you can find yourself blocked by creeps fractions of hp away from a kill. Phase allows you to dive through unhindered.
On top of this, one of any melee carry's biggest problems is always gonna be making sure you can focus the right hero in a fight. Phase means you can rush through and get right to the casters and key heroes to take them out.
Items to get:Vanguard,Wraith Band,
This set of items is really important to my bloodseeker build. The conventional bloodseeker is a 800 hp moron who ruptures, rightclicks and then dies to tower. I try to mix things up a bit with my build, and instead of going for something retarded, Phase, 2 wraiths + Vanguard gives you a nice amount of hp (around 1.3-1.4k at ~lvl 11-13), LOADS of damage mitigation, with way above 15 armour as well as damage block. And still allows for some damage at the same time.
This sets you up to have some decent damage, loads of HP and loads of armour making you a seriuosly powerful diver and allowing you to survive until you get the kill.
The Damage
This sets you up to have some decent damage, loads of HP and loads of armour making you a seriuosly powerful diver and allowing you to survive until you get the kill.
However, some heroes are not so vulnerable to a diffusal, str-tanks, in particular heroes like Lycan, Axe or Centaur, are not interested by your Diffusal, they can just turn and fight you in many cases. At times like this you'll want to go for a deso to increase your power when fighting head-to-head, as you won't have such an opportunity to use purge to make kills.
Get BKB if you face heavily caster enemies. Yes, you got Bloodrage to silent your enemies, but if you're facing a lot of caster/stunner, BKB is a necessity.
I hesitate to build more HP than vanguard on Bloodseeker. The reason being that if you're killing in a fight then your HP levels should stay high and you can stay alive. So you're really best off making your hero deal a LOT of damage. By all means, make a BKB on him if circumstances dictate, but heart/satanic are just a no-no to me.
Now that we've got butterfly as core i'll discuss the other options you have. If you've gone diffusal originally then you'd probably want to complete your manta as soon as possible after Bfly, however, if opted for deso instead then you'll probably rather get hold of a Buriza to make use of low armour 1.1k crits (yes they are that high ).
Anyway, this guide is a LONG one, so i better get started on others.
REMINDER:Since Dota 6.61, bloodseeker can no longer gain HP from images.
