Io Support

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Io

• Tether breaks trees which is useful at making tree line paths or optimize farming routes.
• Make sure to have spare consumables with you to keep your laning partner healthy.
• Look around the map for opportunities to Relocate in and prompt your teammates to setup kills.
• Past laning stage, you typically want to play with your farming core to boost his farm and stack camps.
• Avoid showing yourself at the start of the fight as you are number 1 target for opponents.
• When using Relocate to save an ally consider relocating nearby to be able to re-engage faster.
• You can use Relocate to push out a wave or rat a tower when not much is happening around the map.
• Pick up Aghanim`s Shard at minute 15. It provides a source of disable that opponents are typically unaware of.
• Io is one of the best Cheese carriers in the game as you can extract double the value through the Tether.
• Grab the healing lotus to have a burst of HP and mana regen for yourself and the tethered ally.
