Hero's intro:-
You had better try to take advantage of the daylight while you can since come nightfall, you will have a powerful and adept hunter on the prowl. Balanar's passive Hunter in the Night increases his movespeed and attackspeed at night making him a feared ganker and chaser. His Void spell damages the target and slows them to a crawl allowing Balanar and his allies to deal great amounts of damage when cast during nighttime. Crippling fear is a powerful weapon against spellcasters and fighters alike as it both silences and causes a large chance of missing on physical attacks for its duration. Balanar's ultimate "Darkness" allows him to instantly transform day into night (or prolong the night), providing for the fullest effect of his other spells. However, nobody fears the Nightstalker during the day.Dreadlord is vulnerable only in sunlight and at night noone can even touch dreadlord.

Background story:-

Beware, you who wander the night. Each step you take leads you deeper in the hideous reign of the horrible ruler of the dark. Balanar, elite dreadlord who brought the total darkness of the Nether into this world, haunts these regions. Your heart will pump harder, your legs will shake, and your mind will cloud as the presence of the stalker hunts you in the dark. There's no chance to fight, no way to run, and no place to hide - darkness is everywhere! You can pray, you can cry, but the darkness won't be stopped - until you die.

Why this item build??
I usually make urn of shadow first as balanar will get kills easily and will need to heal himself and cast debuff on fleeing enemies to get a kill.With Basher and Night balanar with Super fast attack speed can F*** the s**t out of the enemy.And get bkb if getting stunner silenced as if the team is having multiple stunners.Sange and Yasha is a very good item for the hero.Scepter provides unobstructed vision all the time.Get heart just in case you are bored :p.

Why this skill build?

Void is taken first to get a slow and to harass enemy or even last hit creeps.Hunter in the night is taken second so that you get full advantage of movement speed and attack speed when sunsets.At level 6 Darkness is taken so that you can gank heroes easily.Level 1 of crippling fear is also good to silence casters and to kill them without any problem.I hope you agree with my skill build still if you got any intresting alternate skill build or item build i will really like to post on my blog you can contact me on my email or post a comment.

Good Alies

As with all other heroes, the best allies of Balanar are the disablers such as 



or slowers such as 


Basically, any heroes that slow / disable / stun the enemies are good allies. For Balanar, allies are not such a big deal, as the Void -> Hit -> Void combo can often net you a kill.
4.3 Worst Enemies

What matter to Balanar is more often the enemies. Bad enemies are usually enemies that you will have trouble killing when 1v1 against them. Apart from the obvious disablers, i.e all heroes with stuns, voodoo and other whatnots, there are a few heroes that deserves special mention, as listed below:



This bad-ass deserves special mention as Balanar cannot kill him on a square 1v1 match, even during the early games. 2 voids does not get you anywhere with his life, and his Berserker's Call + Culling Blade combo is sure to give you a hard time, if not kill you. Don't go near this guy without an ally, even during night.

 and 

These 2 can give you a hard time killing them, due to their sheer amount of health.

I can't think of any other heroes that can give Balanar more of a hard time than Axe, save for a well farmed Faceless Void and Troll Warlord. But then again, these two need to be well farmed, thus, not a problem as you can pawn them many times during mid game.
Please post comment how you like my guide and what changes should i do to make it better.
Thank You
