Pros / Cons

Well this build pro is that you can kill them easily with your high damage and fast speed.
But still easy to be kill so be careful with that .

Good against : almost all kind of heroes
Bad against : invisible heroes with high cri damage, disable or blademail such as Shadow Shaman, Phantom Assassin, Centaur Warrunner etc.

How to destroy your weak point? (HP problem)
don't hunt alone at 1st and when u r able to hunt alone make sure you can kill them fast enough b4 they nuke u or stun etc. so my build is good for a gank fight more than alone but again you can hunt alone...you will know when to do.

Skills

FROST ARROWS - your second best skill! use it too slow down enemy but nearly useless at lvl 1-2 very effective at lvl.4

SILENCE - just to prevent some of enemy to use skill such as Anti mage or disablers just lvl 1 is enough for you to kill them b4 they escape.

TRUESHOT AURA - very good damage booster which give you more attack very useful! and with this you can control creep pushing rate by turning on or off aura to effect creeps or not to effect creeps.

MARKSMANSHIP - YOUR BEST SKILL EVER! give u a lot of agility stat that make u a real hunter!

Items

I go for slipper*2 and tango because it will give u high atk damage and tango for safety.

The reason I go for mask 1st is to get a healing so you will last longer in a fight.Thank to your ultimate that give u high attack speed.

Yasha - well for me it's just to give more speed for chasing because once you can chase them your slow will do the rest. And to get to manta style.

Vladimir - give u life steal.

Crystalys - give u cri chance which means you do more dmg and gain more health but beware of blademail!

Shadow blade - this things is one of the best! it gives u higher attack speed with more dmg and invis too which means you can circle the enemy in the team fight or chase them faster and with your Yasha you will become one of the fastest runner (IDK if you can chase wind runner with this or not).

Daedalus - MORE DAMAGE!

Manta style - more of you! and with that powerful stats...imagine that.

Abyssal blade - give u stunt. (optional)

Butterfly - evade, higher attack speed (optional)

Monkey King Bar - more attack speed + high dmg and no miss attack! (optional)

Creeping / Jungling

You can go mid if u r a good last hitter because that way you get more lvl and money but if u go side lane u might harass them more than last hit if they r melee heroes but if they r range then just keep doing last hit. One last thing....don't be greedy, play safe is better during early game.

You can kill rosh after you got crystalys and when you get it it time to sell those slippers of agility.

Team Work

During early game if u r mid you shld go help your teammate to get a kill or if u r laning try to kill in your own lane but again slow lvl 3-4 1st b4 you start hunting to ensure you will get a kill.

During mid game all u need to do is gank with friends or hunt alone when some of them try to push and in the team fight just go invis and let your team go and fight 1st then you follow so that will ensure you will survive and the enemy will die.(you can go around the enemy and shoot them from the back)

oh don't forget about Rosh!!!

During late game u r nearly godlike hero now you can go hunt alone very easy but don't be too confident or greedy.

Drow Ranger - If u farm well

During early game I recommend you to go mid or somewhere you can farm alone that you can lvl faster...for DR money isn't the problem during the early game because what team need from u is your lvl 4 slow and high dmg. You can start hunting with your team since lvl 6 but if u want to be sure wait till lvl 7 cuz u will get slow lvl 4.

Well in this build u r the 1st to start the fight and go invis then go around the enemy and kill when your teammate is distracting them. YES it as easy as that but if they ward or gem just hide and wait for your team to start the fight and when they r focusing on your teammate just go out and kill them all!

The reason I got only 1 lvl for silence is that DR does not require that much silence u just use when the fight start etc. so going with slow and dmg is much more better for the hunt.

You can change the order if u want but this is what I do.

It depends on what teammate u got if u have not silence at all...then got for it.

You can start hunting with your team since lvl 6 but if u want to be sure wait till lvl 7 cuz u will get slow lvl 4.

What u do here is to wait till team go in the fight then follow them after enemies r attacking someone use that opportunity to kill their nuker 1st then stunner.
