1	Stitches	Going solo isn't a smart thing to do, waste of mana and if he eats you it can become a quick problem. Avoid his hook or he will bring you to his team to die.
1	Tassadar
1	The Butcher	After his charge just get out of his brands way then ruin his game.

Introduction Top

This build is what I use to stay in lane solo, and be able to stay in team fights when others need to go hit the sippy cup. Not many heroes are able to keep their damage high while building to sustain. This build is perfect for harassing at Cursed Hallow while waiting for your team to get back in the fight. Its perfect for getting spider butts at the Spider Queens Tomb, or just soloing a camps.

Trait

is the reason stand out against other assassins. This ability stacks 5 times, at the 5th stack heals you instantly healed for 660 health (90 + 30 per level). When playing as you need to keep track of your stacks at all times, but most importantly when you are about to initiate a fight, so when focused you can heal by casting your & .

Abilities Choices Top

Tier 1

Gives 3 stacks of when you root a Hero with it. So get good with this skill shot because it will not only save your life but swing the tide of a team fight. Also awesome for those 1v1 fights when the other hero things they can dip.

Tier 2

is a great tool to further both damage in lane, passive damage in team fights, but also adding further healing from 's .

Tier 3

has its detractors & will state that the cool down reduction to with is a better choice, but being melee additional 40% increase on your next auto attack will effect immediately the current team fight not 8 seconds later. And with building so much on you'll be able to stay in fights longer and use again.

Tier 4

is my go to in most situations the radial slow is a great counter to assassin heroes like & or diving tank initiations like & Joanna.

is perfect for the initiation of team fights. Split a team in two and burst down those you want to focus or just the closest hero. Its hard to go wrong with either of these. Both are always valid, and it will depend on your teams need.

Tier 5

is furthering our ability to sustain in team fights through .

Tier 6

is where gets his burst damage from, and with coming up this is a sure fire way to end any heroes streak.

Tier 7

is the no brainer choice here, for the slows and the synergy with
