Crixalis the
Sand King is a
melee strength hero with one of the highest area of effect damage outputs in the entire game. All four of his abilities can affect multiple enemy units, and can combo quite well with each other. He is one of the most versatile Heroes in the game as he can
push,
initiate,
support,
gank, and even
semi-carry if he does well. Late game his effectiveness diminishes as none of his abilities scale, but he can still function to support carries with
Burrowstrike and
Epicenter's slow. He is also versatile enough to be able to go to any lane with at least moderate success. He works well as a participant in a dual lane or trilane, but can also solo very effectively against melee enemies as
Caustic Finale discourages enemies from approaching the creeps. His main role in the team is to deliver a devastating initiation, delivering both stuns and slows to the enemy team.
