The following is my recommended 6 slot build:īased on the situation you can also substitute and MKB and/or Abyssal Blade for the following items: Late game becomes very situational to the heroes you are playing against and the items they have. The extra health helps increase survivability, while the damage improves attack power. BKB gives Phantom Assassin much-needed spell immunity, allowing her to ignore enemy disables and nukes as she directly engages enemies in fights.The damage boost also greatly improves the killing power of Coup de Grace, particularly when combined with the armor reduction on enemies that Phantom Assassin jumps on. Desolator allows Phantom Assassin to apply the armor debuff from long range with Stifling Dagger, softening up multiple targets for her team and her own attacks.The damage and cleave allow her to easily clear creeps, whether it is for farming or pushing/counter-pushing, while the health and mana regen ensure that she can always maintain her health and mana pools while farming. Battlefury (BF) allows Phantom Assassin to secure her ability to farm into the late game.She can attribute-switch to strength for more health, or intelligence for using spells, particularly for the repeated casting of Stifling Dagger. Power Treads boost Phantom Assassin’s combat effectiveness and suitability greatly with added agility and attack speed.These are your core items before you really start coming online as a hero. The aim in the mid-game is to farm your Desolator (if you went Battlefury first) and then BKB.

Mid game is where you can really start fighting – focus should still be on farming as at this stage you don’t have the suitability without your BKB, however, you need to keep an eye on the mini-map for opportunities where you can get easy kills by cleaning up fights your teammates are taking. Go for Quelling Blade, Tangos (pooled from your supports if you are playing Phantom Assassin mid), Slippers of Agility and a Circlet.ĭuring the laning phase, focus on last hits and get two Wraith Bands and Power Treads after which you should put your head down and farm your Battlefury(sometimes it might not be the best game for a Battlefury in which case you can go straight to your Desolator, however, if doing this I would recommend getting 3 Wraithbands for the extra DPS). In the early game, PPhantom Assassin’s main focus show be towards last hits – without core items, Phantom Assassin will be very ineffective in fights. While it is important to remember throughout the guide, items need to be tailored/changed depending on specific enemy heroes & items, the build that I explain is an excellent standard generic build for most Phantom Assassin games. Phantom Assassin Laning & Playstyle: Phantom Assassin Early Game Playing Phantom Assassin on the Midlane:ĭepending on the lane opponent, Phantom Assassin can be played as a solo mid – one of my favorite ways to play Phantom Assassin! While she lacks base damage and can be easy to harass when approaching for last-hits, Stifling Dagger allows her to safely get last-hits at range and harass the enemy constantly.īoth Stifling Dagger and Phantom Strike can be used as disabling and initiating spells when allied supports rotate mid for ganks, and the solo experience and gold can allow Phantom Assassin to start being effective earlier on.

She spends the laning stage accumulating last-hits and surviving enemy harass, trying to farm the items she needs to begin operating independently.Īs she possesses a slow and nuke in Stifling Dagger and a chasing/escaping spell in Phantom Strike, she is capable of assisting her lane mates in setting up and getting kills on the enemy offlaner and can dodge ganks fairly reliably if given an opportunity to cast Phantom Strike. In standard situations, Phantom Assassin is played as a safe lane carry who is safeguarded by at least one support.
