Phantom Lancing

Introduction

Phantom Lancer is an amazingly good pusher who, in this build, does nothing but push. He deals insane DPS with Daedalus and is over-all a good hero.

In this guide I will show you his skills and how to use them, and a item build that I did edit off of the other PL (Phantom Lancer) guide. These are just additions I would have made to said guide.

My spelling isn't top notch so please forgive any errors and feel free to leave comments.

Pros / Cons

Pros

-Pushing is his everyday job
-Easy getaway
-Amazing DPS late game

Cons
-Terribly squishy
-Needs his loots!
-Certain doom if other enemy heroes have true sight

Items

Before we get too much into the skills, I want to take a look at the items.

Starting Items

Tangox2 Healing Salve Slippers of Agility Ring of Protection
These are self explanatory. Tangos for health and same with healing salves. Slippers are for the Wraith Band which is for the Ring of Aquila. The ring of protection is for the Ring of Basilius which also leads to the Ring of Aquila.

Early Game

Boots of Speed Ring of Basilius
Now this is obvious. Boots of Speed is for running faster, this leads to Boots of Travel. Ring of Basilius again leads to Aquila.

Core/Late

Boots of Travel Ring of Aquila Diffusal Blade Daedalus Radiance
Boots of Travel is for those tricky spots when you are about to get ganked; use Doppelwalk and then get to safety to teleport out. Ring of Aquila is just something I never got to selling. You can honestly sell it if you want. Diffusal Blade is mainly for it's damage. I never end up using purge and the mana burn is just a bonus. Daedalus. This thing is amazing. The crits and the damage just make pushing a breeze. Must have in my opinion. Radiance is for it's passive burn. Not much else to say there other than the +60 to Damage and make pushing even easier.
Core/Late Buy order
Boots of Travel, Ring of Aquila, Diffusal Blade, Daedalus, Radiance.
