lvl 12: Bristleback
lvl 13: Bristleback
lvl 14: Bristleback
lvl 15: Stats
lvl 16: Warpath
lvl 17-25: Stats

My suggested item build:
when you choose the hero:
Ring of Regeneration
2 ironwood branches

Best Items:
1. Power Treads
2. Stygian Desolator
3. Hyperstone
4. Monkey King Bar
5: Heart of Tarrasque
6: Battle Fury

Strategies:
Farm well till lvl 6 and you can start owning. Keep fighting creeps and get warpath as often as you can. When you have warpath and an enemy hero same lvl as you comes and attack you 1 on 1, goo him and on quill spray and keep fighting. If the enemy team has a Stealth Assasin, you are just the counter for him. His backstab has bonus damage but you have bristleback which cuts off 60% of the damage. That makes SA pretty useless against you. His backstab is useless on you.
