Wildsoul
By: Drasha
Is the mighty Wildsoul a Beast who dreamed himself a Man, or a Man who dreamed himself
a Beast? As much a bear as a human, this druidic warrior draws upon primordial
woodland energies to strengthen himself and crush those who threaten the natural life of Newerth.
WildSoul is a Carry hero. He summons the bear BooBoo who can carry items and does the bulk of your damage until you're at a higher level. Your goal is to get BooBoo's attack speed high so that his attack modifier Tangle Claw procs as often as possible to disable who ever he is attacking. WildSoul revolves around using BooBoo and your hero at the same time to great effect this can be difficult for some players. But with time and practice odds are you will get good at it. By: Drasha

Summon BooBoo - This spell makes you a threat early to mid game while being a great deal less powerful near the end of the game once their carry is farmed enough to kill him. At the start of the game you want to use him to scout out runes patrol the forest and try to pull creeps into your lane. You also want to harass the other people in your lane with him by having him come out of the forest behind them at get in a few auto attacks.
Wild - Now that it works on you and booboo just make sure it is always up.
Natural Attunement - Makes every thing about this hero better.
Bear Form - Makes you a lot harder to kill and makes you melee instead of ranged. Once your at a higher level your going to want to have this on almost all of the time it makes you a lot harder to kill and as long as your alive booboo is going to be able to run around killing people.
Skill Build
Basic
This guide focuses on using booboo for your damage. You have to be able to use both WildSoul and BooBoo at the same time so controlling them is a bit harder then just controlling WildSoul but if you can master if he is a vary strong hero for last hitting and denying creeps at the start of the game and doing good damage later in the game. You can pick up Bear form early if you need the survivability but it most cases you can put it of to make booboo do more damage.

The hardest part of playing WildSoul is microing both your units at the same time. You can set up unit groups with them for example select both booboo and wildsoul and hold down control then press 1 the next time you press 1 you will be selecting both wildsoul and booboo. I recommend you set the 1 key to booboo and wildsoul the 2 key to wildsoul and the 3 key to booboo you can of course these up how ever you want since its just personal preference. You can also use the tab key to cycle between wild soul and booboo this is useful since its faster then selecting them manually and its right next to the q key. Booboo also makes a great scout for your team since he moves super fast and if he gets introuble you can get him right back to you.
Early Game
At the start of the game you want to summon booboo in the fountain so you stay at full mana and the cool down start right away. Grab your items and head to forest and wait for the 30 second mark for creeps to spawn. You pretty much just need to tank them with booboo and auto attack until they die. Don't worry about booboo getting killed you can just resummon him if he gets to low and your cool down has a while on it send him to the fountain and jump in a lane until he is all healed up. When you hit level 6 stay in bear form all of the time and get another hatchet for wildsoul asap.
Mid Game
If your farm went well you have mock and some boots at this point you should still farm when you don't see a good ganking target but if a lane is pushed and you can pop out of the forest right on them go for it. You also want to help your team when they try to gank since booboo can murder casters at this point in the game with little out side help. If you keep your farm up and get a good amount of kills you can carry your team late game.
Late Game
BooBoo is pretty weak at this point you want the mock on wildsoul since you will live longer them him. Use booboo to scout and to proc tangle claw on your target just try not to let him die since it give who ever killed him 100 Gold.
