Lifestealer Carry

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Lifestealer

• Right-click opponents as much as you can on the lane for extra damage and sustain from Lifestealer`s Feast passive. Also, make sure to secure last hits and denies to get free max HP from the passive.
• Orb of corrosion is great at harrassing enemies in the laning stage and works well with Lifestealer`s spells.
• Consider investing a point in Rage early on if there`s a need for dispel or spell-immunity.
• If the enemy has no way to cancel rage TP, be more aggresive on sides lanes and rage TP out.
• Once you hit 6, you are really hard to kill and you can dispatch your support to help other lanes.
• You can save an ally by Infesting it.
• Lifestealer doesn`t farm fast but is decent at fighting in early to mid game. Join good looking fights.
• If you have gap-closing ally you can choose to Infest him to be able to get on top of opponents quickly.
• Orchid, Basher and Scythe are problematic. Adjust your playstyle and itemization accordingly.
• You can slow siege opponents` building by damaging it during Rage and then backing away.
