Anti-Mage Carry

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Anti-Mage

• You can rush vanguard on tough lanes. Otherwise try to get away with cornucopia.
• Hit opponents and burn their mana whenever you can, for example when they go for a last hit.
• Play safe and acquire Battle Fury as early as possible. Your farming speed goes up exponentially with it.
• Look around the map while you are farming to dodge the ganks but also to potentially snipe a kill with Mana Void.
• Plant wards for yourself in the area you are farming.
• Keep a lane pushed out to apply some pressure on the map. If you expect to be ganked, Blink into trees and teleport to the opposite side of the map.
• With Manta Style you can play more actively and join most of the fights. Prioritize killing backliners and supports.
• Wehenever your teammates die consider cutting a wave behind the opponents or push out some other lane.
