Introduction

This is my guide to Phantom after playing her for many games. Pretty simple, just follow the purchase orders and OWNAGE will follow.

Chapter Title

Pros:
- A very low mana costing range creep killing skill * her Q at level 4 *
- Blur at level 4 makes you harder to see, which lets you escape easily
- Truck Hitter if Critical lands
- One of the highest Agility gain in the game compared to other characters
- What more do you want??

Cons:
- Needs a lot of farms or kills to do damage
- Item / chance dependent due to her relying on her critical strike * only 15% *
- Low hit points

Phases ( E,M,L )

Early Game :

FARM !! If played wrongly early game, her late game and mid game will be affected GREATLY. The easiest way is to farm in early game and try to KILL as much as possible.

Middle Game :

Keep farming and dont stop unless if team needs help with fights. IMPORTANT: Always buy or have at least 2 teleport scrolls in your inventory to either Defend a tower half way across the map...have cheeky get aways or even to teleport to the nearest structure as team fight will be happening or a fight has already happened.

Late Game :

You will be hitting PRETTY hard due to your ultimate *especially when it procs BACK to BACK*. Just continue to kill and farm *if game hasn't ended already* till you get all your HUBBA HUBBA items.

Skip Ring of Basilius, you don't really need the mana regen and if you're building it for the stats you'd make an aquila anyway. IMO just rush perseverance and you'll be fine.

^ that item is optional / personal but the reason why I choose to get it is because its only 500 gold you see...it gives you mana regen on top with an aura for your laning partner giving LITTLE damage and a bit of armour. You can freely spam Q every 8 second *160 damage* without physically actually losing mana cause by the time it goes off cool down , all your mana would of replenished already back to full...this item is GREAT if you choose to harass and enemy down and force to them use their tango or pots or simply needing them to waste more gold on purchasing healing items or just forcing them to run back to base. The range that you can cast it is significantly BIG and your always in a safe distance but yet dealing good damage and harass to them. Oh I also forgot to mention.....creep killing from safe distance without the worry of losing mana over time and usage.

I'd pick up the Morbid Mask later, even after Helm of Iron Will probably. Your benefit from liftsteal is just too low at the beginning.

Also for Starting Items some stats would be better then Quelling Blade imo. A Salve is missing. If the enemies see that you only have one set of Tangos, they'll probably try to harass the **** out of you.

this build is not so good imo, heres why.
PA benefits from RAW damage, since her criticals uses raw damage not agility, hence power threads are a bad choice for her. The basilus isnt bad really but a wand is way better for various reasons, you can start out with branches, its better stat-wise, and you dont need mana regen at all with pa once you've gotten perseverance (even with out it) also wand's active is great. Also, quelling blade isnt necessary but its not bad either, the problem is 3 tangoes arent enough for lane survivavility if your playing decent ppl, you should at least 1 set of tangos and a healing salve , or 2 sets of tang , otherwise your early will be terrible and that's the base of pa.

For BH, bkb and mkb i agree and the overall order is good!

@linkin PA does benefit from agility since it does give her attack speed, damage, and armor. Also treads are a decent choice because it gives ger attack speed and more survivability. Of course phase boots is still a more common option.

OK OK! PHEW!

JUST " REMADE " the build....should be more better!

@linkin - NO...pa doesn't benefit from RAW damage....she benefits from attack speed WITH damage * which is also included in this build * which has more chance to proc her ultimate per hit. You forgot also that agility gives damage on top with attack speed and armour

ANYWAY!

I remade this build so it should be better now.

Still adding random color to your replies I see..

Anyway I agree that ring of basilius isn't necessary

dont quite understand all the points into dagger as it only does half damage to heroes but i suppose its there for emergency last hits and chasing early game for that crucial first blood.

The dagger as your wondering is like you pointed out already *last hits and chase / kill*...PA (phantom assassin) MAIN source of damage early and EARLY middle is from her Q *or the harassing of her Q* + the chances of proc on her ultimate to crit *too low during early levels due to lack of attack speed per hit to give it that extra OOMPH!*, that's why you max Q first.....like I said....here are the reasons *again*
    - Last Hit to kill creeps during lane when opponent is harassing too much when you decide to go close
    - Kill / Chase
    - Main source of damage during early and early middle game

Q eventually just becomes a utility as you head towards middle - late game and having your damage items ( battle fury....onwards...seen in the order of the build above)

Hope that helps you out!
