Io Guardian Wisp Guide, Strategy & Build
Io The Guardian Wisp Guide, Strategy & Build. Io is a Strength hero which belong to the Sentinel since Dota 6.68. This post will provide you with the Guardian Wisp Skill Description, the Guardian Wisp Guide, the Io Strategy, the Io Item Build and the Io The Guardian Wisp Skill Build. If you are playing Dota 2, check also Dota 2 Wisp.
Originally nothing more than a lowly spirit of the trees, Io dwelt peacefully amongst his kind in the Great Forest. As the Great War spread across the land the creatures of the forest were forced to defend their home. The desire to protect his kin awoke power in Io he had not known he possessed. He discovered he was able to connect his life force to another creature to strengthen them or help them flee by instantly transporting them out of harm. Io became known amongst his people as the Guardian Wisp, a protector of the Spirits. All other spirits swore to assist him and can be summoned to his side to aid him in his battle. Uninterested in the battle between the Sentinel and the Scourge, Io fights only to protect his people.
Guardian Wisp Skill Descriptions
Hero Class: Guardian Wisp
Hero Name: Io
Alliance: Sentinel
Strength: 17 + 1.9 (Primary)
Agility: 14 + 1.6
Intelligence: 23 + 1.7
Base Damage: 33-42
Starting Armor: 0
Movement Speed: 295
Attack Range: 525
Tether
Io tethers himself to an allied unit, granting both units bonus movement speed. Any enemy units that contact the tether will be stunned. The tether will break if it stretches beyond 900 units. Lasts 12 seconds.
Movement Bonus: 20/25/30/35%
Stun Duration: 1.25/1.5/1.75/2.0
Cooldown: 12
Manacost: 40
If you try to tether a unit that is a outside its range (by up to 900) Io will latch on and pull himself closer to the unit.
Tether transfers other states on the hero to the allied unit. This includes Overcharge, Relocate and any time you regenerate hp/mp.
Note: Has a sub ability that lets you break the tether.
This skill is what makes Io such a scary supporter. Combine him with Ursa and say goodbye to your target. However, this skill won't do much if you don't wanna be a support hero.
Spirits
Io summons 5 ancient Spirits over the course of 6 seconds; the Spirits dance around Io in a circle to protect him. If an enemy hero moves close enough to touch a Spirit, the Spirit releases its life energy in a burst, damaging and slowing all enemies in a 300 area of effect. Non hero units only take minor damage upon touching a spirit and do not cause them to explode.
Spirits duration: 6 seconds
Min damage per spirit: 8/14/20/26
Max damage per Spirit: 25/50/75/100 (explode damage)
Min/max spread range: 100/875
Slow: 30% (only works on heroes)
Area of Effect: 300
Slow duration: 3 seconds
Cooldown: 20/18/16/14
Manacost: 120/130/140/150
Note: You have two sub abilities. One to move them outwards and one to call them back in. You can stop them at any distance by toggling the ability order.
Its primary use is for slowing and scouting. It can spread up to 875 range and each spirit has a sight range 300 Aoe. So you can scout around 1175 range Aoe from wherever you are.
Overcharge
Io draws on more energy than he can safely handle, granting him bonus attack speed, but draining 2.5% of his current HP and MP per second. If Io is tethered to an ally the bonus attack speed is also granted to that ally.
This is a toggle ability.
Attack Speed: 60/80/100/120
Note: This bonus affects a tethered unit as well.
Another support skill which should be combined with Tether for maximum benefits.
Relocate
Io temporary relocates himself, along with any tethered hero, to the target location for 12 seconds.
There is a casting delay and the enemy has visual indicators on the minimap and the world of the teleport before it happens.
Cast Delay: 2.5/2.25/2.0
Cooldown: 90/75/60
Manacost: 100
Note: If an allied hero is Tethered, that hero will teleported along with you. You can break the tether at any time to prevent that hero from returning back with you. -disablehelp is available for this ability.
An instant gank skill. Tether Ursa or Sven, kill your enemy quickly and you going back to your place before. Need some coordination with your partner to maximize the gank. Also useful during line phase to refill Bottle and buy something in your base with ease.

Here is my initial skill build for Io The Guardian Wisp. Tether is taken first as it will help you initiate or escape from first blood attempt. Spirits without a doubt is maximized first. It's your only nuke and give quite much damage if you manage to hit the enemy with all your spirit. The only exception is if you got Ursa/Slark on your line. You might want maximize Tether first. You can pick overcharge early to help your partner with +IAS for early kill.
Take Relocate whenever you can. This skill is like a global ganking tool. For maximum performance, get a ward on the enemies jungle and grab a friend to gank them. Don't forget that you can also recharge on the fountain with this skill.
Overcharge is maximize on the late game as on that time, attack speed hold important factor.
Io The Guardian Wisp Item Build
1. Gauntlets of Strength, Magic stick, some of Tangos or Healing salves
2. Get Sobi Mask and finish Magic Wand
3. Boots of Speed
4. Finish Urn of Shadows
5. Finish Power Treads
6. Get Mekanism after you get all core items
Io's core item should be like this:
Magic Wand - Very useful when the enemy has spell spammers. Don't need time to get healed and has some stats too. Combine with Tether to give your ally free healing.
Urn of Shadows - Pick this first if the other team doesn't have good spell users. Urn will give you strength for survivability and charges for healing ally or damaging enemy. You can using this with tether to heal your tethered ally.
Power Treads - Movement speed and 10+ strength stats which you badly need for gain more survivability or 10+ intel for mana stock.
Mekanism - Good support item for support hero like Io. Especially when you using Tether, your ally get not only 250hp healed but also additional 250hp. Total will be 500hp. It's really awesome. The other positive buffs will be useful when the teams clashes.
Bracer - An optional. Gives you good stats for early game. HP, armor, mana, and damage. Get this if you feel difficult dominating your lane.
Arcane Boots - Buy this for helping your nuker friends or spammers. A situational item.
Vanguard - Situational item for Io. You will need to survive when you or your partner get ganked by other team or gank the opposite team. It means you have the responsibility to save or help your partner's ass when the gank happens. Dont get this item if you still able to gank the enemies well.
Luxury late game items:
Heart of Tarrasque - Good item for survivability during battle because it gives huge amount of HP and HP regen. When it active you can share your 2% hp regen to your tethered ally.
Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse - You are a support hero and need a good ability to disable enemies. Use hex and your target will do nothing in 3.5 sec. It's +35 intel stats dont do much for Io but it will help you using your Overcharge freely anytime you want. But still the other additional stats will be useful for survivability.
Kelen's Dagger of Escape - It can be used for escaping, ganking or chasing enemies. When you are tethering your ally, you can jump close to your target for stunning him.
Black King Bar - A survivability item and an anti-nuke ability will almost help you around. Especially when the opposite team has disabler or nuker units.
Eye of Skadi - Very expensive but will be very useful when you manage to buy this item. It can slow your enemy and add your survivability to survive in late game. Get this item if you have a lot of money to spent.
Io The Guardian Wisp Strategy
You can pick this hero when your team has a lot of gankers and needs supporter.
You need to support:
- Carries : You can speed up them, both their movement speed and attack speed. Tether them and use your Overcharge. They will be more deadly with you on their side. Such as mortred, traxex, na'ix or hero with stun and critical hit such as bara, skeleton king.
- Blinkers : Good positioning while Tethered is their ability. So your Tether's stun will absolutely land on your target. Gank with them will be easy if you do it right. Darkterror, magina, and rikimaru for example.
- Battle Initiator : Usually have mass disable skill. Relocate them in the middle of battle can change the tide or just give them a free kelen's dagger for initiate or gank. Such as Raigor, Bradwarden, and Magnus.
Beware of his counter:
- Nukers : They can blow you up in one combo. Especially in early game when you has little HP pool. Play safe and stay away from them. When their mana drained and you can try to kill them. Such as Lina, or Lion.
- Silencers and mana burners: Without your skill you cant do anything. Just stick to your partner to prevent enemies to get easy gold from killing you.

Playstyle
You need partner when it comes to laning. Usually players have the middle lane for solo hero. So you will choose up or bottom depend on your partner's hero. It will be good if you can support a carry hero which have a disable skill or slow skill. Always give priority to your partner so he can get his core item as fast as possible. Support him when he want to kill. But not forget to try harass and dominate your lane. Remember to get your target, as much as possible, killed by your partner. They need to lvl up and get more gold than you do.
Roam in early game will get you overleveled by your opponents. But your carry partners can get the advantage if you roam with him. Get tether and overcharge first if you want to do that.
Tri-laning using Io is possible. Prefer to lane with stuner or slower hero. When your partner initiate by stun or slow, tether your carry and overcharge for more easy kill the target.
Mid game will let the teams always ready to gank or be ganked. Relocate is very useful when it comes to this. But always bring your partner when you do that. Do as fast as possible to kill your target before you come back to your previous place. Give all the kill to your partner. Between ganking, you can help him farms faster. You should get your core items on this phase. Scouting is important in this phase of the game. Use your Spirits effectively to prevent being ganked.
The last phase of the game. Get your core items and at least 1 luxury item in your pocket. Support your team in when the battle occurs. Tether and overcharge a hard carry hero for letting him be more deadly with your additional AS and MS. Use tether and heal combination to give your partner more survivability while he continue to rapes enemy units. Its very possible your enemies target you first, but all you can do is support as much as you can before get killed.

ReplyDeleteI would go Hood Of Defiance Arcane Boots Radiance Mjonir Eye Of Skadi And a Heart.
ReplyDeleteExtreme supporter. best for noobies~
ReplyDeletethis hero is hard to use in pubs...
ReplyDeleteneed to use with friends for maximum efficiency...

ReplyDelete-=(TOTAL SUPPORT HERO)=-
ReplyDeleteSUPPORT HERO....for me is the wrost hero in dota
ReplyDeleteit's quite a killer hero too, about lvl 7, when u master spirits,it's quite spammable and painful if u use it properly. 500 dmg in total if all hits
ReplyDeleteVery nice hero (except for the starting armor. this hero is good for 5vs5 game whether early or late game.
ReplyDeleteto those who think that this hero is a s h i t has no mind at all.
"omg support hero worst hero bad hero blablabla"
ReplyDeletepathetic noobs.
the hero has mega potential..
know what? he's kinda semi int
ReplyDeleteWell, its worth a try. Challenging and fresh. It depends if youre good or not. Dont blame the hero.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who says he's a bad hero is probably someone who only knows how to pick Traxex Balanar Viper Troll Huskar Luna Mirana ChaosKnight Syllabear Kardel Lycan. Learn to support or at least recognize their value. :)
ReplyDeletenice support hero,first skill need to use with partner correctly. I think this hero would be best partner to "right-click agi hero" like riki, PhantomAss, etc.
ReplyDeleteHis ulti is good for ganking, or just back to fountain regenerate hp/mana, take your item and back again.
furthermore with this hero you can take your friend into your enemy, break the tether, and just leave him alone XD
very weak hero ... like all of you .. dumbshits ..
ReplyDeletejust wondering, can u bring ur ally heroes along if u tether them and blink o.O
ReplyDeleteor can u buy lothar and invi d whole team when u tether? :)
ReplyDeleteif u hav skadi, can u tether and all ur team mates get to hav the orb effect too? =DDD
ReplyDeleteI FOUND A BUG ON THIS HERO!!!! when i picked this hero its called "WEIRD BALL the GUARDIAN WISP" instead of "LO the GUARDIAN WISP"!!!!
ReplyDeleteit is his alternate name do you understand fucking crazy freak idiot perverted devianted bullshited stupid asshole son of a bitch?
Deleteim very sad for the feedback(from most) for IO...
ReplyDeletethis hero is one of the best support hero, ever!
i will tell you guys that the most blogers for this page, were not a strategist.
Well, IO can actually boost a killer type of hero to deliver its megekiller momentum. (in a brief period of time as fast as normal)
how sad,
IMO, Io is probably the best hero among the 4. His 1st skill and ult alone are very game breaking. Great for ganking as well. 1st skill to an allied hero, enemy stunned, activate 3rd, allied hero goes insane, dead enemy hero. Boost his HP and MP regen rates and ur good to go. (ehem, Linken, Bloodstone) :)
ReplyDeletethe strength hero that is support
ReplyDeleteyou can recharge the bottle every 40 secs :) just relocate to your base...
ReplyDeletethe best hero from the 4 new characters. STR support type.
ReplyDeleteall new hero model is not good why str new hero is wisp what an idea came from try also focus on the model not only to release new hero just a suggestion tnx anyway
ReplyDeletei have an suggestion also try to use other model for murloc the model is not enjoyable just like seeing a small super creep appartion is unique model the 4 new heroes need a model that fits their skills
ReplyDeletedude this guy has imba attack speed bonus to one of ur allys 120 attack speed + traxx= imba
ReplyDeleteonly thing wrong is y is it str lol
DJ_GONZ SAID. . .

i love his bug,i chose him and use his first spel on someone and then repick him and take another hero,but hero who i used spel on him he heave speed 20% more for all game,try that its very good :)
ReplyDeletelo, my favorite hero ^_^
ReplyDeletei love it, its not that hard in the beginning u just need to level up and if your ally want to kill, u got big chance you get that kill if u maxing the seconds skill(spirits)
easy farm too, get bottle when u got level 6
skill (relocate) and use spirits every-time u want to farm. just go relocate to base if u out of mana.
easy kills, if u see someone that has low health get him from behind, u can use tether to creeps to make him stun.
^_^
this how i use lo
THE BEST SUPPORT HERO
ReplyDeleteSupport Yeah. But strenght? That is not very logical.:S
ReplyDeleteI LUV U MITIZI FABIAN

that guyz is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!
instant gank with ursa or sven!
ReplyDeleteLogically Io is clearly a pro char (invoker meepo) dude to his many skills. Just watch people get extremely good at Io, they are the people that will win. How do you lose with a 55 dmg 30% slow nuke 2sec stun 900 AoE, a full map two-way tele, 120 +AS, and 35% ms boost and ability to give all regeneration and skill buffs to an ally?
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, 500 damage on last comment.
ReplyDeleteIO best gank with AOE stunner. e.g. sven. sven dagger to enemy, stun, after 2 second, Io tethe to sven, thus is 4 second stun, with wisp 2nd skill dmg 500 (375dmg after reduction).
ReplyDeleteIf Io tethe units, the unit will gain bonus hp and mana reg until IO fully regenerated. thus if Io take regen, it will gives regen buff to unit tethered, until IO fully recovered.

ReplyDeletehe's actually a pretty decent farmer. just keep the spirits near you and try to come close to the creeps.
ReplyDeletepractice it woth a friend using ursa, an undefeated tandem for ganking when Io is in lvl6..but try relocating and getting saome kill steal with dagon. But in my my support type is very amazing 2/0/35 standing means a lot. I think tether is the best skill ever build without any other help of skills.
ReplyDeleteguardian wisp is support not ah killer nice skill build but no item build....
ReplyDeletemeka and bloodstone are the best build to Io since you can do a full scale support inside a clash for me that is.
ReplyDeleteplus Io "is" the support hero that's why you don't need to build it to be a killer hero instead to make your teammates become one.
ReplyDeletea good support hero i should say, brings out the ultimate potential of your carry/'ies , but still not the best support hero in the game. The best supports ensures a high survivability rate for the whole team during clashes. This guy favors one out of many >.< A 40/60 chance for your team to win
ReplyDeleteIo ursa warrior tandem's undefeated? dont make me laugh...definitely wont stand a chance against ES and Venomancer.
ReplyDeleteSince i play Io alot i suggest you a different build get spirits , tether , spirits , overcharge , tether , relocate , spirits , tether , overcharge , tether , overcharge ,and like that since io's ult makes you teleport anywhere in the map you can go back to base for hp + mp refills so even if you get spirits as your first its good and item build is Either power treads or the new item arcane boots or sumthing it gives mana which io lacks and Buriza + Heart + S&Y + Bracers ive played io alot and ive never lost once with this build so... ( i play T2) try it out its quite good
ReplyDeletekabobo ng nagsabi ng morgi...!!!dambel
ReplyDeleteano un bagong item?????LOL..xD...
pati pt...haist ..ano ba yan
use this hero if your allies are ursa sven slark tiny etc
ReplyDeleteI don't really think he is a shit hero ^^...
ReplyDeleteWhat would we do without Supports ? <3
Because , in fact I am a support person myself :S
Lo is like a earthshaker.He is a supporter hero and strength. :D
ReplyDeleteAbove > Epic fail
ReplyDeleteAbove that > Me too! :))
Anyone say that this hero sucks means they never pick suppportive heroes.They only choose offensive and defensive heroes
ReplyDeleteYes I have seen very good Io's, the only problem is that I am always on the other team, besides once. :)
ReplyDeleteHe is a support hero like omniknight. I love omni, and many noobs don't use omniknight correctly either. Omni V.S. Io is a battle I haven't seen but maybe I will test it. Im sure it would be interesting.

ReplyDeletethis is my hero pwns he is the best hero ever and its so fun playing with him
ReplyDeletei have been using whisp for months and here is the item build for io:
ReplyDeleteboots
shivas
desolator
manta
tarrasque
linkens
you really need tarrasque for io's overcharge cuz its saps away all your hp if your not careful and you also need a fast boot i suggest threads also here's a tip try to get io's last skill as soon as possible for world-wide assists. io isn't ment for killing, he's ment to assist and improve the leading heroes of the game try to assists as many heroes as possible or try sticking with one hero until he can handle itself then switch to another lagging hero. in short io is also a feeder for lagging heroes
Io + URSA = TotalOwnage....Why? because Io use tether then spirits relocate to 1 enemy ursa uses overpower + its furyswipes and the spirits damage and slow the enemy the tether stuns the enemy making ursa a BEYOND GODLIKE in no time...
ReplyDeleteuse Mekansm + Arcane boots = Walking well....HoT for more survivability and desolator for pushing and its orb makes ursa a killing machine beware off ursa + Io combo or you will be the next :D
ReplyDeleteSr about my bad eng, im vietnamese, im newbie, but i like io, i want to know how to build io's item for gg(not set dream item,i need pub normal item,and im newbie). So,plz help me.

Deletelo is an amazing support hero which means he's not a damage dealer himself he can do amazing damage with his second skill but it's not enough to kill an enemy all by it's self!you need to have a late gamer with you and by late gamer i mean a hero that can easily dominate in late game such as mortred or silencer or harbringer or ursa or faceless or bounty hunter etc...
ReplyDeletehere is how i find a suitable build for this hero:
-first get a courier since your a hero who doesn't need much gold to be a support hero and this can make a big difference for your allies especially early game that way they can buy potions early game if they need some and they have 170 extra gold so it's amazing to help ease the lane fight early game
-starting items should be 3 ironwood branches and the magic stick recipe since lo will always play in top or bottom he can buy a stick anytime he wants thanks to the shops and now you have magic stick and a healing salve
-finish magic stick
-then get boots and get 2 bracers which can help for survivability mana and a little damage
-then get bottle
-then get energy booster to finish arcane boots
-get urn of shadows
-then get headress of rejuvenation this item is amazing to heal friends and yourself it gives 3 hp regen per sec aura and when you tether a hero he will receive 6 hp regen per sec 3 hp per sec from the aura and 3 hp per sec from you since tethered units get all the healing that you get
-then get nazrethim buckler and finish mekanisme.note that when you tether a hero and you use mekanisme the tethered hero will heal 500 hp and not just 250!
-then sell bracer and get heart of tarrasque and radiance or hex
i have an amazing spell build for this hero that no one can argue with it's the best for this hero and it goes like this:
ReplyDelete1-tether
2-spirits
3-spirits
4-overcharge/tether
5-spirits
6-relocate
7-spirits
8-tether
9-tether
10-tether/overcharge
11-relocate
12-overcharge
13-overcharge
14-overcharge
15-Attribute Bonus
16-relocate
17-->25-attribute bonus
all that lo really needs early game is to teleport an allied hero to an isolated enemy hero and help the allied hero to deal damage that will be extremely easy with my skill build since it 's focused on the spirit skill which is the damage skill you only need tether to teleport your ally the movement speed increase between lvls is only 5%movement speed so increase this skill is not so important and increasing the overcharge skill is not recommended since first of all allies don't need this skill for attack speed early game no matter the hero and since it will kind of force you to use this skill since it's the skill that you focused on leveling so you definetly need to get spirits as fast as possible and then get tether so you are not forced on using overcharge which means you don't have to sacrifice a lot of health or mana early game so first max spirits then get tether to max and finally get attack speed and tether is better than overcharge early game because enemy heroes will have a hard time escaping and chasing you since your much faster!
the rest is easy to understand and accept i don't think there's a better spell build than this!
oh and pls note that you shouldn't use tether on invisible units like rikimaru or gondar or clinks because enemies can see where they are and they can easily hit and kill them if they have AoE spells!
are you fucking crazy stupid asshole son of a bitch? the correct skill build for wisp is:
Delete1-spirits
2-attribute bonus
3-spirits
4-attribute bonus
5-spirits
6-relocate
7-attribute bonus
8-spirits
9-attribute bonus
10-tether
11-relocate
12-attribute bonus
13-tether
14-attribute bonus
15-tether
16-relocate
17-attribute bonus
18-tether
19-attribute bonus
20-tether
21-attribute bonus
22-overcharge
23-attribute bonus
24-overcharge
25-overcharge
lvl 20 skill build is overcharge not tehter can you understand fucking crazy stupid asshole son of a bitch?
