Intro

Strygwyr is a very good ganker and a threat to squishies and tanks alike.
In this guide i will show you an unconventional way of playing the Bloodseeker, with massive ganks and good survivability.
Enjoy.

The Skills

Bloodrage
This is a very good silence or damage boost. You can use it to silence stunner/support in teamfights, or even to deny heals/escapes such as mangix's ulti. Also, you can use it on yourself to really slice through squishies. It can even be used as a finisher, to kill heroes who use hold position at their tower with ulti on. Use with caution in early levels.


Bloodbath
This is your "hit me coz i can farm anyways" skill. Very good early game because you can last hit without worrying about receiving a few hits. It is also great in teamfights because if your health is low and you manage to get a kill you get healed a lot. Also good if you want to push the minions ahead of your wave, and it makes lifesteal quite irrelevant.


Thirst
This skill is very good for chasing or escaping, and you may even be so lucky as to find an unexpecting enemy with low health wandering around=). Not much to explain, just remember that you have it there.


Rupture
Rupture is what make Strygwyr so great. You pop the skill and the hero you are chasing is surely dead. You pop the skill on someone who's chasing you and he may have second thoughts. You can even initiate with it, for example on a mort who will surely Phantom Strike to a target. Keep in mind that your target might h and fight back, and that your ulti doesn't do infinite damage=).

The Items

Lvl 1 items:
1.Tango-good for heals in very early game and might save you from a dot in early levels.
2.Stout Shield-must be turned immediately into Poor man's shield. If mid, wait until about 2k gold and get Poor man's shield with Power Treads.
3.Quelling Blade-FARM FARM FARM

Core:
1.Poor man's shield-great defence and 6 agi, a must for early game.
2.Power Treads-keep them on agi, and switch to strength if you are in danger of being killed by a dot.
3.Shadow Blade-with this, you can start ganking very powerfully, with the ability to escape ganks too if they dont have gem. You get nice damage and attack speed, and it is easy to make this quickly after treads. Just farm it out:).


The Rest:
1.Sange&Yasha-Build Yasha first for damage and speed. Only get Sange first if you really feel you need extra health and the maim. Sange&Yasha is very good in strygwyr because it has a bit of everything, increasing his overall performance and deadliness.
2.Daedalus-it is the salt and pepper of every terrifying autoattacker: critical strike. you can either get Daedalus right after Sange&Yasha, or just make Crystalis and then Desolator.
3.Desolator-Chew through the enemies' armor, and it also has a nice damage boost.
4.Assault Cuirass-The final straw. if you actually build this too, be assured that this will make you laugh in the enemies' faces, as you tear through their inexistent armor with incredible attack speed.


Situational:
1.Vlady-Build this ONLY if your team is SCREAMING for one and you are forced to make it.
2.Force Staff-Some consider it a core item, but i say it doesn't give you that much damage increase, and the push isnt that awesome in my opinion. I don't say it's bad, but i don't play with it.
3.Blade mail-If you are constantly focussed, build this and a health item such as Vanguard. Useless if you are fed, and because Shadow Blade's purpose is to make you an assassin/ganker. Still, a good item on any harassed champ.

Playstyle

"Don't you dare question my resolve! I have already given you your marching orders, soldier! You will search and destroy! SEARCH AND DESTROY! Any resistance you encounter is to be CRUSHED! Hellsing does not run from our enemies! Kill them all! I order you to leave nothing but bloody stains in your way!"
-Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing

This pretty much sums it up. Use Shadow Blade before any fight, and laugh as they find themselves with half hp in a matter of seconds, only to be destroyed by Rupture. Beware of tanks, especially in early game, because it is hard to take them on 1v1 without the late game items. Don't forget to silence stunners and casters, but beware coz they might turn out to do more damage than you with basic attacks. Overall, just listen to Sir Integra and Kill them all!
