Lore

Celaeno, The Dark Harpy, honored by few and feared by many once served as Zeus's personal hound. The more she killed the more her insatiable hunger grew. While other servants avoided the Almighty's arduous tasks, she craved for blood. And the more she hunted the stronger she became, bathing in the gore of her enemies.

One day Zeus himself felt threatened by the Dark Harpy's crescent abilities, and released Celaeno from her services, banishing her forever from the heavenly kingdom.

In her wraith, the Dark Harpy stormed through nearby villages and towns, sweeping civilians and warriors alike, leaving nothing alive in her vengeful flight. With the raising concern in the Heavenly Kingdom, Zeus was urged to take action, thus assassins were sent Calaeno's way.

Little did the Almighty know that Demi-God assassins could not handle the fearsome Harpy, resulting in blood-shed on which she fed stronger and yearning for more. Having tasted the blood of a Demi-god, Celaeno's hunger demanded something else - the Gods themselves. Thus the Dark Harpy swore herself true to only one goal. Finding Zeus and squelching him for the treachery commited.

Role in Game

Celaeno can be played either as a midlane hero, safelane core, or on a duo offlane. With an arsenal of both defensive and offensive abilities she brings survivability and burst to the fight. In the right skilled hands she can be a dangerous foe.
While in the air Celaeno is a formidablle in 1v1 fights, while on the ground, she excels in teamfights, which provides her with options of multiple play-styles

Skill Build:

As a midlaner/carry the viable skill build is QEWWWRWQ
Skilling Q first provides you with harass over the enemy midlaner, E provides tankiness during the laning stage in (lurk stance), and better damage in (flight stance). Maxing W, however is essential due to the scaling critical dmg, and slow of both abilities it gives. (Very similar to troll warlord)

Combos:

Combo 1 (before level 6)

While on the ground(lurk stance), enter Q(flight stance), throw a few hits safely on target, then walk their way and toss them in the air with W - Talon Uppercut (lurk stance), then quickly switch to Q(flight stance) and make use of the amplified damage toward air units.(1.25x more damage) if you and your enemy is in the air.
Before the unit falls, quickly use W - Talon Dunk(flight stance)and put the enemy back to the ground, slowed. Pop your active while in flight stance E-Gory Madness(flight), to finish him off safely.

Combo 2 (after level 6)

Whether you are attacking a tanky hero or not, your entire attack combo depends. If its a tankier hero you would prefer to wait for him to be under 40% hp before using Talon Dunk. If it isn't a tanky hero, starting off with Talon Dunk's critical strike would make sure every next hit you make while in Flight form to be an amplification of that critical.
