Fun guide for not being a tryhard

Introduction

So, you saw the green floaty ghost and thought "Hey, he looks cool, I should go read a guide on him"

Well, know that Green Floaty Ghost is a very easy hero to play, and also very fun.
He only has one active ability that's targeted, so you can't expect Green Floaty Ghost
to be hard to play.

Here's how to play him in a fun way getting fun items.

Oh, I almost forgot. Green Floaty Ghost has a name. It's Wraith King.

Pros / Cons

+A lot of damage output
+Very tanky
+Can't die due to his ult
+Pretty good stun
+Free AURA lifesteal
+No problems that can't be solved with items


---

-No mobility abilites (e.g. Blink, Shukuchi, etc.)
-Low starting damage

Gameplay

At the start of the game, just lane normally (Offlane or Safelane, whichever you prefer).

THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART. When you hit level 7 and your Vampiric Aura is maxed, go into jungle and start farming for your items. This is so you will be fed late game and will be able to easily take down towers and enemy heroes.

After you're farmed and have most/all of your items, you will be completely unkillable and deal a ton of damage.

Oh, and during teamfights, just **** **** up and steamroll everyone. Also, focus on the weak guys that you one-shot before fighting the tanks.

Items

The items in this guide might seem very bad. They probably are, because I'm not an MLG pro player. Here's why I usually take them.

Keep in mind that you can get your own items if you think these are not good enough.

Wraith King has low damage and Quelling Blade helps A LOT with last hitting.
Usually a good start item.

Power Treads are usually a very good item on all heroes. On Wraith King, it gives him extra health, which is always good, but also extra attack speed which is very useful because he does not have a lot of it.

Blink Dagger gives a lot of extra mobility that Wraith King needs. I usually don't get it, but I really recommend getting it.

Helm of the Dominator gives extra lifesteal (it stacks) for higher survivability and later goes into Satanic. This is the first step towards being unkillable.

Skull Basher gives a lot of extra damage and the bash really helps Wraith King to chase enemies.

Aegis of the Immortal is useful as it gives you a 3rd life for one teamfight, which makes it into basically a 5 v 7. The gold you get from Roshan also helps you a lot, but it also helps your teammates.

Now that you have a lot of damage, you will notice that your attack speed is slow. Mjollnir really ups your DPS letting you do even more damage.

Refresher orb is the second step to making you unkillable. You will now have 3 lives in pretty much every teamfight, and 4 if you also have Aegis of the Immortal.

Make your Skull Basher into an Abyssal Blade to get an extra stun and even more damage. Usually, by the time you get this, you will already be wrecking the other team, but hey, might as well wreck them harder.

Upgrade your Helm of the Dominator into Satanic for even more lifesteal to be even less killable. You will probably already not be dying, but you might as well finish it off.

This is just in case the game is still going on after all that. I've personally never been there yet, as by the time your build is complete, you can take down towers in seconds.

Skills

The skill build is very important to play Wraith King this way.

Wraithfire Blast
Get 1 level of it early just in case of a first blood opportunity.
Max it last and don't use it too much as it uses a lot of mana and might ****block your Reincarnation.
And max it last because you really don't need the extra damage.

Vampiric Aura
Max this ability first because first, it lets you stay in lane longer, and second, it lets you jungle for faster items.
Also, this took me a long time to realise, but it's called Vamipric AURA because it's an AURA. That means people near you also get lifesteal.

Mortal Strike
This really increases your total damage output.
Level 1 - +22.5% overall damage increase
Level 2 - +30% overall damage increase
Level 3 - +37.5% overall damage increase
Level 4 - +45% overall damage increase
As you can see, this gives you a bunch of extra damage.

Reincarnation
This ability is the one that lets you do double the damage you should be doing and also makes it so you (almost) never truly die.
