Hmm, What's this?

Hi everyone, CraftyKnowledge here with a random guide for players of all skills!

Im here to introduce you to:

Krobelus, The Hidden Haraser

This build is meant for PUBS ONLY, as any ranked player/team can easily counter this if they know the existence of dust,sentries or even a 'Support'
You know who im directing this to...
.

The main gist of this build is that you use Shadowblade after you ult before you are seen in order to wreak havoc in a teamfight/solofight as the enemy team struggles to find you.

What? Do you expect me to get all those items?!

Well to put it bluntly, yes.

I've tried this build many times and my main priority is to get bloodstone (NOTE TO SELF: PLEASE DIS-ASSEMBLE YOUR ******* ARCANE BOOTS TO SAVE 1000 GOLD WHEN CREATING YOUR BLOODSTONE) before shadowblade, so that i can farm without mana worries when my team is out somewhere else probably feeding -.-

Killing creep waves is actually quite easy once you have atleast 3 levels of crypt swarm, and as the match drags on to mid-game, the lanes will be a bit more empty due to everyone leaving lanes and ganking peeps. The only straightforward strategy I can tell you is this:

Push lanes where there are no heroes in, and dont be afraid to defend a tower whilst the enemy team pushes, using crypt swarm to destroy their creep wave is more than enough to deter them from destroying your tower for a bit (its best to defend your tier two towers, than your tier 1's because all three lanes have a chokepoints for your crypt swarm to destroy the creeps.

Ok, I haz ShadowBlade, wut next?

Well, now that you have a Shadowblade and a Bloodstone, you are pretty set for this match, all you have to worry about are the tanks and the ***hat's who have evasion, but other than that, you can pretty much solo kill a hero without them even knowing about your existence, because when you ult and then use shadowblade (preferably away from sight), you are a force to be reckoned with.

WATCH IN AMAZEMENT AS YOUR OPPONENTS FIDDLE ABOUT WHILE RANDOM GHOSTS START ATTACKING/FOLLOWING THEM!

Seriously, there have been a few occasions when the enemy team accused hacks on me for random ghosts appearing and following them *mental facepalm*.

This strategy is particularly useful the less heroes you are up against, it should be done when the hero is alone, because if they are in a creep wave, the ghosts will go for them instead, effectively wasting your ult.

Ok I haz many monehs, now wut?

Now that you have accumulated gold (and a hopefully a few charges on your bloodstone), you can now focus on trying to ult as often as possible, because at this point, your pushing abilities can far exceed an entire team when your have the sacred Refresher.

Once you have a refresher, you can pretty much destroy all 3 towers in a lane with ease if the entire enemy team is in the opposite side of the map doing the same, although they wont be doing it as fast as you.

If they have any brains at all, they would send atleast 1 person back to defend, but since this is a pub game, they probably wont. because if you manage to destroy dem rax, you can just cruise to the enemy fountain and teleport yourself back to the lane where the enemy team is, and repeat said process there.

If you are pushing against two enemy heroes, check their inventories for dust and if they dont, wait until they push past you and use the combo and BOOM BANG THEY DED (if they are supports or carries, you'll have no problem (so long as you aren't against a farmed-ish void (I say that he is farmed once he has MoM and atleast a crystalis)))

Deso? Lolwut

._. Desolator removes armor in order to increase the damage your ghosts deal because 90% of idiots who i've fought against got bkb to counter me, to no avail XD.

Its only preferable to get deso if you are tanky enough to not use the shadowblade (get deso once you have Heart Of Tarrasque), because once it gets to late game, your opponents are going to get more tanky, especially those who are meant to be tanks.
