Justification / Modifications:
Keeper is often lanes with heroes that need to directly attack the opposition, and these draw creep aggro. Levelling Nature’s Protection for them drastically increases their survivability and lets them exert much more pressure on the other team.

Starting Items:
Monkey Courier, Runes of the Blight, 2x Minor Totem, Guardian Ring

Item Build:
Logger’s Hatchet >> Ring of the Teacher >> Marchers >> Nome’s Wisdom >> Sustainer >> Restoration Stone >> Portal Key >> Post Haste >> Frostfield Plate

The build-up is fluent. Get Logger’s and a Scarab from the outpost asap and then bring Marchers plus the rest of Nome’s to you via the courier.
After Restoration Stone get a Portal Key for optimal 2xRoot placement and then Post Haste (Luxury). Finally a Frostfield Plate to complement all the Late game needs Keeper has.

Information:
Roles: Supporter, Initiator, (Jungler)
Preferred Lane: Long, (Can jungle if absolutely needed, Can go mid versus other melee heroes)

30-Seconds-Guide:
– Your first task as Keeper, before the Laning phase even really begins, is to get an Eye onto the top rune ASAP. Usually you will be laning in the long lane (top for Legion, bottom for Hellbourne). This allows you easy access to your opponents jungle from an early level and makes accessing the Outpost easier as well.
– As soon as Tree Sight comes off cooldown ward your opponents pull spot.
– Always leave enough mana for an emergency Camouflage, especially if there is anyone missing, as you never know when you’re going to need it.
– Always carry a Homecoming Stone! If a tower is under attack teleport there and cast Nature’s Protection on it. This will not only increase its armor but will also heal it back up.
