Puppet Master
Although all the daemons of the Hellbourne ranks are
terrifying, few deserve to be called “creepy.” Yet that is
the best word for the Puppet Master, whose smirks and
gibbers and cackles of glee bespeak not just the specter
of death, but something worse. His puppets are offenses
to life — either false things imbued with stolen life, or living
things twisted to his will.

Looks like a support hero.
lol kingdavid! youre not my step father that i played age of empires with 10 years ago are you!
Heroes-Newerth No1 Heroes of Newerth fan site and long lost relative reuniting!
Whiplash is pretty much Kunkka’s Tidebringer, otherwise the rest is pretty new.
I find it funny that some one called him a support hero when he really has no support abilities at all. You see, support means helping your allies by healing them, removing debuffs, buffing them, that sort of thing. You know, SUPPORTING THEM.
Puppet Master is very clearly a disable or intellect sniper hero, like Furion or Windrunner was in Dota. His passive gives him a lot of added damage and his great disables and ult ensure that he can fire on enemies for long periods of time and just auto attack them into the ground.
I think a Skadi and then damage items is really the way to go with this hero.
I belive the main use of this heroe is comboing all his abilities: first puppetier hold so he you can place the ulti vodoo puppet next to him, then after the puppetier hold wears off, cast puppet show, the enemy attacks himself by attacking the puppet next to him, ofcourse meanwhile you are attacking either hihm or the vodoo puppet (not sure witch would be better since thhe puppet recieves more damage but can die pretty fast, and ofcourse thhe 200% splashh helps you hit them both at the same time
the only bad thing i see about thhis combo is that requires to much time and it can leave you exposed
u could also use him like ppl used battle furion before, use his first skill nd wail on the opposing hero. with the right dps items it should rack u a kill
Grabbing a Hellflower and then using the effect + Voodoo Puppet + Whiplash proc = awesome amounts of damage. It’s really easy to farm gold with him, too, since you just knock all the creeps’ HPs down, save up a Whiplash proc and let it fly.
PM is my current favorite…although Moon Queen and Voodoo Jester are highly enjoyable killfests, too.
whiplash is from old storm not kunk
whiplash is not from anyone, its makes the dmg u want it to make, its very sick !!!
hellflower + shieldbreaker ftw
I’ve found Codex 5 to work well with this hero’s ulti for a lot of kills, especially against low health heroes like Pollywog and Scout. You just have to harass the hero at first, take out around 25-30% of his HP, then combo with Puppeteer’s Hold and Voodoo Puppet, then Codex the Puppet. You’ll rack up some kills pretty quick.
He just feels clunky to me. That combo’s pretty slow, I think this guy is best 1 on 1 with a hero… at which point he should frankly decimate them. Also good to kill those strong creeps in the woods.
Has anyone actually tried playing him properly?
If you combo his first and second skills together along with another hero on lane, that’ll help them do massive damage.
I build him like a supporter, works very well and annoys the hell out of the other team.
Otherwise you could always make him more assault/offensive.
this guy seems pretty overpowered to me o_O
This build:
Savage Mace + Warpcleft = Sick!!!
sick is flayer + warpcleft + elder parasite
It gives sometimes critic like 1000dmg, extrime fast attack speed and lifesteal ^^
Problem is he is low healt hearo and easy to kill fast by 1 quick combo. Pretty sad is when you puppet hold enemy heroe he can escape with blink ability like magebane have or portal key, stealth is nasty too
I have played him in the beta and its like TheStompler says, he is a hero like Windrunner and furion.
He has way more carrying potential tho because with crits you can end up one shotting people with 5000 damage hits. I did not believe it at first but if the stars line up just right you can crit on your 200% damage hit which splashes your puppet destroying a hero in one go.
Puppet King…………..
Bottle+Boots->AssassinShroud->SavageMace->BarbedArmour->BlackHelm+Flayer
this hero can become Champion of Newerth in earl or mid game, just go first on “THREADS” no domi, no vanguard, just threads. and make sure u max out first pups hold and wiplash. then after threads. u can farm for Radiance. thats the only item for him. -for me.
-this is for everyone, not only for Pros.
I find that getting working on black legion/enchanced marchers works well. I go for Whiplash first and put 1 point into each other skill until maxed on Whiplash.
Hellflower/Geometer’s bane works really well next.
i luv to go mom (dota name dunno wat called hon) the bonus att speed an lifesteal is AWESUM. Now my fav hero.
nice hero
puppet master + harkon’s blade is just amazing. Especially late game when all those enemy carries start getting defense in the 20s. Use one diable, start pounding, use another, and just keep pounding. if it doesnt kill them, it will sure make them run for the fountain.
i killed a level 25 scout who had substantial hp and was disabled by chronos’s ultimate. i was like level 21
Guys Wtf the first comment is the worst ever…ffs i think that you don’t know what support means.he is having something fron kungha bat rider zombie(perfect abilllities) and a supper cheat ultie…WTF!Suporter”"All abilities to kill everyone .i Tink when HoN will be played from more people than today puppet master will be Ban master(CM)
Guys I just want to tell you a few things
Questions and Answers
Q: What role does puppet master play?
A: Puppet is not a support hero, he’s a disabler/semi-carry
Q: How does whiplash work?
A: Whiplash should be gotten whenever possible since it gives you
great farming ability. For how it works, the splash does TRUE
DAMAGE equal to damage done to the target hit.
Q: What items should i get for puppet master:
A: Steamboots – Assassins Shroud- Harkons Blade
This build gives you health (steamboots) some damage and invis (Shroud) and 60 damage + a fantastic orb. (Harkons Blade)
Q: Why does puppet master’s ult. have such a long cd. when it’s essentially a 950 damage spell?
A: This is because it does 950 damage + overkill
If the puppet has 100 hp left and you hit it for 200 damage, they
will still take 200 damage.
Also here’s a secret. If you have shroud, and whiplash is ready, go
up right beside someone, ult., and attack the voodoo puppet.
This way they will take 410% attack damage as magic damage and
410% TRUE DAMAGE from the splash.
Why did my name appear as Noobist in my comment above?
why isn’t my comment there? It is quite helpful
codex 5 the damn voodoo puppet when its low in health… BOOM!!!!!!!
one of the best support heroes in the game for me…
This guy’s voice reminds me of the Joker from Batman: the Animated Series, that’s why i like him. =]
Does anyone know how long it takes for a submited guide to become official? Cuz I just submitted a puppet master one that tells you how to abuse his ultimate and what to do early-late game including his item build and his skill build.
I could of course submit it to the comments but i would need Jbeads permission to post such a huge guide.
One more thing. I was wondering what I should get for my lifesteal item.
Whispering helm: This lets you stack ancients by dominating a creep and having it pull them every minute. This would make up over 4k gold and would easily let you buy a parasite and the rest of my build very fast. Ghost Marchers – Parasite – Shroud – Harkon
Elder Parasite: This gives you the attack speed that you need since you have horrible agi. gain and my build. Ghost Marchers – Parasite – Shroud – Harkon doesn’t give you much attack speed.
Currently I’m liking the sound of whispering helm, but I don’t know if puppet can handle 15 ancients.
Can someone give me their input please.
Can you use voodoo puppet on ancients? Its superior magic and last time I checked you could use it on Kongor. Why I want to know this? Well if you did what I was thinking in the comment above (Stacking the ancients 10 times) The splash from the puppet should be sufficient enough to kill (or weaken to around 100 hp) all the small ancients and severely damage the big ones. This way you could farm 4k gold at level 16 if you do the following.
Have a whispering helm, a dominated minotaur (for the stun), and assassins shroud, and 4 health potions.
1: Have the minotaur go in and stun and then tank for the 1 second it will live. voodoo puppet a big ancient and hit puppet with whiplash. Go invis so you don’t get killed from around 1000 dps. GO BACK HEAL AND GET WHIPLASH READY. Attack again. the small ancients should be dead and the big ones at half hp. Repeat the writing thats in Caps until they are all dead.
Please can you answer my comment I posted above also.
CC+BB
awesome carry too…
Amazing…
@zachary
Personally, I’d get Elder Parasite, dominated creeps just don’t compare to that much of an aspd boost.
Guys, I just got a couple of invites from HoN and all of my friends are already playing. What I am saying is that I have invites to give!! But give me your e-mail
