Night Stalker Offlane

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Night Stalker

• Run to mid as you load into the game and scout for opponents` midlaner placing observer ward.
• Night Stalker has great night vision but very limited day vision.
• If you took the Blinding Void facet, look to survive through the first 5 minutes of the game and ideally have phase boots as the night hits.
• Use Void to secure ranged creep last hits.
• Try to manipulate creep lane equilibrium to get it closer to your tower during the day time.
• If you took the Blinding Void facet, keep a skill point or opt to skill Crippling Fear as the first night approaches if it is necessary to score a kill.
• Play and farm aggressively during the night time and provide additional vision for your team.
• When going for a kill, be careful with Voiding right away as the opponent might just teleport out.
• Avoid fighting when it`s daytime and Dark Ascension is down, play defensively or push out lanes.
• Prioritize dealing with backliners and supports in fights, especially once you have Blink Dagger.
• With the Night Reign facet, Look to apply pressure in the first 5 mins of the game and get ahead during this time to eventually make use of your ultimate.
