Hero Strategy

Apply Sticky Napalm on opponents but also on the creeps at the same time. Batrider's base damage is very low.

When you have 3 Sticky Napalms on an opponent, you can consider making a kill attempt.

Having Bottle charges, Faerie Fire or Healing Salve can allow you to dive under the tower.

Batrider is good at clearing stacks early on. Encourage your teammates to make them for you.

Focus on acquiring Boots of Travel and then start playing more actively.

Sticky Napalm provides flying vision in its area of effect.

Pick up Aghanim shard later in the game as you become a potent right clicker as a universal hero.

Spam Sticky Napalm on the enemy mid laner to keep them low at all times. You need not worry about giving stick charges.

Counter Strategy

Magic Stick and Wand are great items against Batrider's Sticky Napalm spam.

If you have 3 or more stacks of Sticky Napalm be careful or back away to allow them to expire.

Lotus Orb and Linken's Sphere are good at countering Batrider's Flaming Lasso.
