Nature’s Prophet is pretty much the embodiment of a great ganker! His green and serene appearance make him a leader amongst the jungle creatures. NP is one of the best rat heroes in the game, mostly due to his treants, which soak up the damage and provide extra damage while farming or pushing lanes. This hero is extremely flexible in any lane, making him a devastating force in the late game.

To help you utilize him to the fullest, we have compiled a list of the best 5 Nature’s Prophet builds which are extremely good against any matchup.

Nature’s Prophet is a lethal hero and Faith_Bian is a lethal player, one fits the other like a glove! He loves opting for items such as the Assault Cuirass, Satanic, Aghanim’s Shard, and much more in the late game which makes him extremely lethal and allows him to take matters into his own hands. Black King Bar allows him to use his spells to the fullest without worrying a bit about his HP and resistance. If not controlled, his NP can quite easily capture the tempo of the game!

Your primary goal is to push lanes and rat whilst fighting at the same time. This hybrid build allows NP to both fight and push lanes whenever needed. Orchid of Malevolence and Assault Cuirass provide him with the ultimate team fighting tools, silence and a

He is known to be an aggressive laner on the prophet, often opting to chase and ward off enemies from the lane.

Yatoro loves playing NP in the carry position and prioritizes the Orchid into Daedalus build, primarily due to the damage it is known to deal.

Matumbaman has shuffled roles, playing both the safe lane and the mid lane, he is known to dominate them both when it comes to Nature’s Prophet. He loves to stretch out the games late so he can utilize NP’s abilities to their full potential. He is aware that the hero is an absolute slippery fighting and ratting machine in the late game.

Matumbaman believes in standard item builds. Often building conventional items like Maelstorm, Aghanim’s Shard, and Black King Bar are guaranteed to help him farm faster, push out lanes and stay durable in teamfights, outlasting his enemies. This build is fairly common but Matumbaman’s playstyle isn’t, he puts up a show and annoys his enemies with his ratting antics.

You want to push and end the game as early as you can. This build works well if you are facing heroes which are devastating in the late game but have an extremely low impact in the early stages.

Even in the losing games, Mind Control puts up a show with his impressive game knowledge and map awareness of this hero.

MC has a very chaotic and fast-paced playstyle. This means that he prioritizes fights and kills over farm, but he does not shy away from farming when the iron is hot! Fbz loves to rotate as early as he can on his signature NP, often when he gets Teleportation. As an NP, MC focuses on dealing heavy damage to the enemy carry and often targets the supports to make the game harder for them.

You want to play NP in the offlane. This is the standard offlane NP build, and none better than Mind Control himself to demonstrate his exceptional abilities on the hero.

What is Lorem Ipsum?It's time for them to learn their place. Reina storms the King of Iron Fist Tournament in #TEKKEN8 Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.Where can I get some?There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised
