This is a short dota 2 Bristleback guide, explaining skills, giving a few items suggestions and a basic overview of how to play him.
Bristle has some great survivability with the reduced damage he takes from back and sides and he is the one strength hero I can think of who gains more int than strength, meaning you can focus all on strength and tanky items knowing you have good mana regen and a decent size mana pool, it really makes him a great solo laner.
