Matchup: Pokey26 (Night Elf) vs. Ethereal [Hitman] (Orc)
Map: Tidehunters
This game I attempted a new strategy I thought of spefically for my match against Hitman. The strategy consists of 2 Ancient of Wind, and 1 Ancient of Lore, on one base. The idea is to cut the 2nd and 3rd hero from a standard talon strategy, in exchange for having a few master training druid of the claws. The benefit is having high normal damage up front for the raiders, having roar and rejuvenation, and ideally getting the Demon Hunter high level through the bonus experience gained off having a solo hero on tier 3 tech.
The keys to the strategy are to get level 3 Demon Hunter by tier 2, and to ideally slow the orc's creeping and/or prevent them from expanding while waiting for tier 3 to finish. Another option is to simply continue power leveling the Demon Hunter, but that can be difficult if the Blademaster is always lingering nearby, not to mention your own army is fairly weak at this point in the game.
I also want to experiment with going 2 Lore, 1 Wind instead, utilizing the wind simply for a few talons with faerie fire, maybe even a single faerie dragon. I think this option could also be okay, but I'm not sure if its better than having a 2nd hero Keeper of the Grove with entangle, thorns aura, and carrying an orb of venom. I believe the 50 food timings of these sort of strategies are likely stronger, but as the game goes on, having additional heroes with experience and holding items would be stronger.
