Comment: A good damage-push skill. Very powerful once you get Agility-increasing items.

Comment: Only useful if planning for high damage or high HP. Optional for my opinion.

Early Game:

When approaching the battlefield, make sure you have the Lesser clarity potions and Flasks of Sapphire water. Buy some Ring of Health/Ring of Regeneration for additional protection and if you have enough cash, get the Ring of Bassilus to maintain safety.

When fighting with the creeps, stay away from ranged units and casters. They might attack you or cast spells on you. Only use Waveform when a creep or two is/are about to die or when a hero is near you.

Go for the kill if:

1. The HP of an enemy hero is less than 20%
2. Make sure the enemy has lost most of its mana, then you can kill without any people to stop you, except for the towers.

After earning enough cash, get 2 Wraith Bands and Null Talismans to make you more useful. Then get these items in order for the early game(Lasts 10-15 minuites) :

• Glove of Haste - Power Threads
• Ultimate orb
