The almighty Sillybear of HoN this little pet is such a dominant force on it’s own, throw in the hero and a bit of farm and you have massive chaos and destruction with just a right-click.

===================================================================================================

Wild

Wildsoul drives both himself and Beardulon Wild, increasing attack speed and movement speed.

10 / 20 / 30 / 40 Attack Speed
5 / 10 / 15 / 20% Movement Speed

Cast Time – 1 seconds

Mana Cost – 50

Cooldown – 30 seconds

This spell is what makes Wildsoul such a great chaser and DPSer in fights, very very useful especially when you have level 4 Natural Attachment, you basically have perma-wild on you at all times.

===================================================================================================

Natural Attachment

Wildsoul attunes himself further to the needs of Nature, adding to the power of his other abilities.

Beardulon:
+{10,20,30,40} Damage
+{10,20,30,40} Movement Speed

Wild:
+{10,20,30,40} second duration

Bear Form:
+{100,200,300,400} Max Health

Passive Ability

Basically this spell is what makes Wildsoul so dominant.  I mean look at what it gives, without this Beardulon would be slow and have less damage, Wild wouldn’t be on all the time and Bear Form wouldn’t be as tanky, that is if you plan on getting Bear Form.

===================================================================================================

Bear Form

Wildsoul takes the form of a bear, causing him to switch to melee based attacks, have a faster attack time, and gain more armor and health.

Bear Form Effects
4 / 6 / 8 Armor

Cast Time – 0.8 Seconds

Mana Cost – 25

Makes Wildsoul super tanky, probably an underrated ultimate spell but it is still pretty useless unless you make item builds going around planning on being melee.

Item Recommendations

Steamboots is really all you need for BOTH your Beardulon and your hero, with level 4 Wild and Steamboots your Beardulon has 522 movespeed, plus it benefits from the attack speed.  As for your hero, he lacks the capacity to keep up with the Beardulon once you start getting natural attachment so that’s OK.

If you can farm this REALLY fast, and I mean less than 8 minutes really fast (my personal best is 6:48 after starting with 2 Hatchets) this item is so good, since Beardulon will be doing more damage then you, when the item is on cooldown you can place it on your bear for more attack speed which is more important since already stated, it will most likely be doing more damage than you at early stages in the game.

Since Beardulon is basically a massive tank, you can use this item to chase down heroes with the AoE burn for kills, even when your hero is safely away farming.  Or you can use it on yourself if you decide to go tanky build, regardless unless you get Sword of the High by at least the 18 minute mark I wouldn’t waste the gold trying to obtain Mock

& &

Yes that’s right, all 3, I would go Frostburn first, then Whispering Helm, then Charged Hammer, then onto Symbol of Rage.  All 3 stack on both melee & ranged (Meant for your hero, not the Beardulon).  Frostburn allows you to slow down enemies that you chase as well as boosting your movespeed allowing you to keep up with your bear, Symbol of Rage is leech, which with your DPS and IAS is great, and Charged Hammer adds a huge amount of damage and it’s active ability on either you or your pet allows even more damage output on those focusing it.

Brutalizer on both your bear and your hero is kind of retardedly overpowered, I mean dual bash AND entangling claws? If you have a slow too? I seriously doubt anyone is going to be getting away since Brutalizer goes through BKB too.

===================================================================================================

Early Game

Grab a hatchet for both you and your Beardulon, and an Iron Buckler for your Beardulon early.  The great thing about Wildsoul is that you can pull with Beardulon while your hero stays in the lane, allowing for maximum farming if you’re in range for Beardulon to attack.  If you’re able to farm an Alchemist’s Bones fast like I stated, your farm will increase tenfold (Make sure to use it on ONLY the Siege units, level 5+ Neutral creeps or it will not be worth it!).  You should be on power-farming mode all early game since you are not that useful without items.  If you are not jungling then use your Beardulon to harass but DO NOT just right click the enemy heroes otherwise it will draw the creep aggro.  Instead right-click move the Beardulon near them BEFORE attacking, they might back off beforehand therefore losing XP/Gold chances without you really having to do anything.

Middle Game

Depending on how you were farming you either need to keep powerfarming or you can start ganking with your Beardulon, you SHOULD have Mock by now if you farmed properly and if you do then keep gank-farming.  That is gank a hero and then farm the lane if it’s free.  Remember that Beardulon is a good tank so by all means go Kongor if you get a good opportunity and have a fairly decent amount of DPS on your team or yourself.  Remember that you may not necessarily need the Token of Life because of your role in the still early stage item-wise.  Ancient creeps are also a great amount of gold if you can pull them with your Beardulon ever so often and not having your teammates steal the creeps.

Late Game

By now you should have stopped farming and start just running around with your perma-wild right-clicking every hero in sight if the situation looks good.  Your Beardulon is great for dealing damage to towers so if there are out of base towers still up, push lanes to take them down for the extra gold.  You should now be taking the Token of Life from Kongor unless there is another hero whose role is way more important then yours because of either the hero itself, or the items they have.  If you have trouble surviving fights do not be afraid to use your ultimate, while it does sacrifice range it gives you an amazing amount of armor and health which is a great offset.  IF you manage to farm a shit load this is what my final build looks like for both the hero and the bear.
