Bogby, the Forest's Child is a ranged strength hero that emphasizes close and coordinated teamplay, causing his allies to regenerate their wounds faster than they could imagine, and rot away the enemy into mud, provided he has the HP regen and mana to sustain it. His primary role is expected to be support, as items like Holy Locket, Force Staff, and Rod of Atos will greatly increase his fighting ability for cheap, while combining with his abilities as delicately as the forest spreads. The way you could play him as a core is to utilize stat items like Skadi and Heart to amplify his health regeneration, damage, and in-turn, bonus damage provided by his passive. Because his Q allows for flash farming (provided you have the mana to supply it) he can quickly hit an early timing with his offensive Aghanim's bonus and a couple early game ganking items like Shadow Blade or Armlet. As well as this, he can sustain himself quite well for a ranged hero even should a barbarian disrupt his positioning and contest him face to face. No Hurricane Pike necessary!
