Threat		Notes
1	Sonya	With this build Sonya is easily kited and quickly melted if you don't get stunned. After 16 she becomes a free kill if she tries to 1v1 you.
2	Arthas	Only thread from Arthas is Sindragosa.
2	Gazlowe
3	Johanna	Although she has unstoppable it it easy to stay away from Johanna and even if she gets in range to pull you towards her, you can quickly E.
4	Artanis	If he manages to displace you, you're in trouble.
4	Kerrigan	Can be a problem depending on your team setup.
5	Zeratul	Can get to you and is mobile, can't take in a fight until 16.
5	Cho	Although he is fairly mobile he can be kited fairly easily and when you get giant killer he melts.
6	Tyrande	Tyrande is a threat all round either way, Falstad is good because he can dodge her E, but only if he dodges whatever mad stunlock they no doubt have. His mobility makes him a good
6	Tychus	Can be a threat when he gets Odin
6	E.T.C.	Can be dealt with easily if you don't get hit by mosh.
7	Sgt. Hammer	Can be a major problem as you often cannot get within auto attack range.
7	Chen	Same principal as Illidan, hard to keep away from, but can be taken down easier later in the game.
8		No Threat
9	Nova	Can take you down fairly fast from range, which is your main advantage
9	Illidan	A problem because he can keep onto you and you require a support or warrior peeling for you.
9	Murky	You get hit by Octo you're pretty much a gonner against any decent team.
10	Diablo	Harder to kite than most of the warriors due to the charge, can be devastating when against a stun combo team but easily killed if he's alone.

The Build Top

This build is excellent for kiting and auto attacking. The main tool that can be used to kite is Q and the build is based around maximising the damage you can put out during the slow.
The build allows for a ton of overall sustained attack damage along with massive burst damage when becomes available.
Although I have not been playing Falstad a massive amount, my short time playing him has been enjoyable and I have noticed how strong this build is.

When Should I Pick Falstad? Top

Falstad excels at kiting heroes and disengaging. Grouped with heroes like and his disengage can change the way a game is going, allowing for a losing fight to reset or for disruption while pushing is taking place.
Grouped with and he can also unexpectedly a teams most important interrupters into their ultimates or separate key targets from the fight.

This makes available choice for the majority of matches with solo roaming allowing you to not miss creep kills if you coordinate well with your team.
