Blood Dancer, Warrior Mage, Hypno

[zigzag]

Blood Dancer
Warrior Mage
Hypnotist

Combo Difficulty: Easy-Medium

Info: This team will be able to stop most offenses w/o resorting to summoning an Uthmor. Blood Dancer can't be stunned, fortress can stop an Uthmor, polymorph stops Arhart. Blood Dancer makes the most out of Blood Thirst with the extra str that hypno provides. This team can still tank/kill mid-late game, but quickly runs out of steam as the waves reach 30+.

Blood Dancer tanks, and will be focusing on tanking items. Instead of doing the cliched stats at the beginning he should only worry about evasion/magic resistance. The hypno can buff up his strength. His lv6 isn't to great early on so you don't have to level that up. I ignore my lv10 to max evasion/resistance, the other two hero's have better lv10 spells anyhow. Start leveling his lv6, then go stats.
Skill Priority:
1. Evasion
2. Magic Resistance
3. Stomp
4. Stats

Warrior Mage. Level up lance enough to kill the current wave. Level the fort whenever you can, same with his ulti. Ethereal shield has a low priority.
Skill Priority:
1. Lance (until it can 1 hit kill the current/next wave)
2. Ice Fort
3. Rain of Fire
4. Ethereal Shield

Hypno. Buff Blood Dancer with prediction. Halluc early to keep some damage off the tank, halluc the other side late to harass hero's (halluc is a powerful skill). One level of his lv6 should be enough for a while.
Skill Priority:
1. Prediction
2. Halluc
3. Lv10
4. Polymorph

General Tips:
The links at the top have individual tips for each of the heros.
With this teams resistance to offense, the spellbringer mana can be used offensively.
Hypno and Warrior Mage should use the range command to avoid going after creeps.

I actually have my doubts about this since I find it rather difficult to combine hypnotist with anyone in a 3 man team.
Then again I havn't tried all the possibilities with him. I'll have to get some kind of team to do this in order to test it properly, but I'm not sure we'll be able to until the next tournament.

Zig in a 3 man team you'll reach 20 before first bonus but you only need 2 levels of WM ulti to kill before then. You can swap speed boots between wm hypno (since hypno doesn't need till he reaches 10 anyways) to save some early cash and spring for armor for the hypno instead of waiting for the hand-me-downs from wm.

I like the combo though, I'm all for hypno in a 3 man, specially with a hero like bd where good buffs will mean epic leech midgame. Also hypnos hallucinations are a very very underrated offensive weapon. It works well here because even with mediocre buffs he should eliminate the need for a victory ring on BD and allows you to go straight for bt nimsha.

I only see one MAJOR problem with it. You gots teh nubz staff on wm why ziggy why
