Hobgen's Barricade Knight Build | Dota Underlords Standard Match | Big Boss

READ CAPTION BELOW
==========
I've been experimenting with Barricade lately to explore what kind of builds are possible with this item, aside from Hunter-Heartless and Mage, two of them being the most popular Barricade build. I did say that I don't like using Barricade, but perhaps in order to climb to Lord, using Barricade is the only option.
So probably Hobgen is the least used Underlord because his utility is kinda less useful compared to other Underlords, and he needs good protection. From my personal experience, Let's Go Crazy Hobgen is best played in leveling strategy, like leveling 6 Savage build. I don't have much experience playing Knight with Hobgen, to be honest. The reasons are because Hobgen is difficult to use and I don't really like playing full rolling strategy. Typically Knight build is played in rolling strategy, and without Barricade. So this build breaks those 2 rules.

What could have been done better
A LOT
I'm still playing around with the unit formation behind the Barricade. So far my strategy is a little bit more aggressive by putting Barricade in the front-most row. The units directly behind it should be ones who can withstand the opponent's attack. Viper with Dragon alliance is the best candidate. As for the rest of the unit, I'm still exploring the possibilities.
Regarding itemization, in my opinion Shiva is the WORST pick in this match. Someone said that Shiva is actually good against Mage, and part of the reason I picked it because I wanted to test it. Bloodthorn was an available option, but at that moment I don't have unit who can wield it effectively (I tihnk). It turned out I was risking my game too much by picking it.
You may think that the reason I won was because I got that 3* Omniknight, but I disagree. The more important factor by far was I eventually picked Bloodthorn, give it to Viper, and then he killed Storm Spirit (equipped with Radiance) very early in last round. Heck if I picked Bloodthorn a lot sooner, maybe I would've won much earlier.
Another item is Fedora. Surely it's an optional item. Many other tier 3 items are good: Necronomicon, Octarine Essence. I picked it so I can unlock Brute alliance and putting in Axe. I've put in Lifestealer before, so I got Heartless alliance as bonus. But whether it's worth sacrificing Heartless Alliance to put in Axe I'm not sure, since after I replaced Lifestealer with Axe, I felt my game got a lot harder. Other option is just don't bother with Brute and put in Death Prophet for Heartless, it's equally good path.

thanks for your support, I'm glad you enjoy it!

what a play，gg

Good game. Horrible item usage when heart on tide but you fixed it. Dont choose Shivas versus mage. Otherwise the most technically interesting game I’ve seen you play. And you even voluntarily sold slark. So proud. Lay off the slark man. You’re better than that noob chancer stuff. Well played

[@Sangarudin]

Thanks. I was testing the idea of "double pull" pudge. Double tidehunter stun is less useful if it cannot stun opponent's damage dealer, IMO. However it took me way too many rounds to realize that in this match pudge could not survive long enough to pull twice.

@@Sangarudin So good to see your vids. I'm always learning a thing or two (or more) watching your gameplays. As the guy above said about slark. I always try to avoid using slark and some "spaming builds" like summoners, xamãs, spirits. We don't need that to win games and we have more pleasure when we win against people who abuses these creatures or builds. Slark can be countered but it's one of the most annoying creatures on the game.

[@twobob]

@@Sangarudin in this context pudge is indeed a terrible terrible candidate for almost any item that is just not "more tank"

[@zhuhaiwang2082]

actually could easy defeat that guy with 4 scale, but we’ll play throughout the game. 4 scale kinda boring 😂

[@Sangarudin]

Next I might attempt 4 Knight 4 Scaled build in the future, thanks for the inspiration
