Hero Strategy

Play in front of your core to make use of your tankiness.

Ignite has a much longer cast range than Fireblast, so cast it first.

Prioritize items that you can multicast with.

Look to Ignite the heroes with Blink Dagger to keep it canceled continuously.

Look to play in the front and soak up damage to make use of your level 20 talent.

Bloodlust your right click cores prior and during a fight.

Counter Strategy

Physical damage doesn't do much against Ogre as he has high starting armor. Either ignore him or try to inflict a lot of damage in a short period of time.

Opt for magic resistance items against Ogre

Ogre players tend to go greedy and farm up Hand of Midas. Try to mess with their Midas timing - cooldown is 90 seconds

Lotus Orb is an effective item against Ogre as both of his damaging spells are targetable

Ogre is scary in late game as he's able to multicast also on his items. Black King Bar is mandatory for cores and even supports should consider buying it
