Lycan

Rush Helm of Iron Will to solve your health sustain issues.

You can scout enemy whereabouts with Wolves before the 0 minute runes and check for the mid lane ward.

Focus on securing last hits and denying as you have extra damage from the Wolves and Feral Impulse.

Avoid feeding summons to opponents. Deny them or send them away, perhaps to block a camp or control a rune.

Lycan's laning power spike is Helm of Dominator and level 6. Try to get a kill or force the enemy out of the lane and you can take the tower fast.

Delay death of the 5 minute catapult wave to meet Helm of the Dominator and level 6 power spike.

Take control of a neutral creep with a stun or root with the Helm of the Dominator so the opponents cant teleport out.

When dominated creep is about to die, you can overtake another one and deny gold and experience to opponents.

When not much is happening, push out the sidelines with summons. Black Dragon is particularly good for that.

Lycan is great at killing Roshan due to summons, Howl and auras. Bring him down by the 20 minute mark.

Consider using wolves to scout in mid to late game. You can deny runes as well.

Aghanim's Scepter's Wolf Bite is a huge buff for one of your right-clicking cores.

In tough late game scenarios resort to ratting, Aghanim's Shard will keep your lanes pushed in and make it easier to rat.

Look to isolate and kill enemy supports quickly in fights as they will find it hard to kite you without items.

Lycan is a low armor hero. Pressure him with your right-clicks.

Try to kill the wolves, especially when they are on low levels.

Be aware of Lycan's level 6 and Helm of Dominator timing.

Lycan and his summons do a lot of damage to buildings. Organize defense quickly.

Lycan is a snowbally hero and falls off. Look to extend the game. Don't be greedy with items.

Crimson Guard and armor items are great against the physical damage output of Lycan and his units.

Lycan is great at split-pushing and ratting. Consider getting Boots of Travel on a core.

Lycan is able to kill Roshan early on. Ward and check Roshpit.
