Introduction

Hi everyone, my name is Minh and my most successful hero in Dota2 is Death Prophet. I read a lot of build guilds about DP in this site but i personally did not see them effective, so i decide to write one of my own which i totally success with it most of the time or even if i lost, my Death Prophet still was a monster on the map and killed the most in my team. I hope you guys will enjoy it and if you like it, please vote for it, all i want to help you guys make my beloved hero become stronger. Thank you.

Skills Build

My aim is to max CRYPT SWARM and WITCHCRAFT first and just have 1 point on Silence at level 3. The reason of this is that the CRYPT SWARM at 3 points can deal lots of damage on the enemy hero, sometime it takes half of their HP and force them to get back so you can have farming space. Furthermore, maxing WITCHCRAFT can decrease the mana cost and cooldown time of the skills so you can spam skill Q more often, it also increase your Movement Speed, which is very helpful in roaming and escaping.
The SILENCE is very useful in combat with long effect time and large area, you can also use it to escape, but in the early game, i just need 1 point for it

Death Prophet's ultimate is one of the strongest ultimate in DOta2. As soon as she reach level 11, the number of spirits increase to 12 and maximum is 27, each spirit deals 55 damage and it is 1485 damage if the enemy take 1 hit from each spirit. When she turn on her ultimate, every enemies have to be afraid of it

Items Build

In the start of the game, i buy 4 Tango and Null Talisman, the Null give extra damage for easier farming.

Then i rush for bottle, which is very useful to recover mana for spamming skill Q.

After that, i will buy Phase Boots. I saw many guides told people to buy Arcane Boots, Death Prophet is not that lack of mana, as soon as she get the Eul's Scepter, she will have enough mana for every purpose. In contrast, Phase Boots can give extra Damage for farming and attacking, it also give extra Movement speed for Roaming and Chasing enemy while turning on Ultimate, it bring heaps of advantages than Arcane Boots

Next, Eul's Scepter is a truly core item for this hero. I get it every single game i play Death Prophet. It can be helpful in giving you mana, extra 40 movement speed (which is 503 movement speed when active Phase Boots and having Eul), it can stop enemy from running away by use it on that enemies while you chasing them, or help you escape when you are chased , or even save our teammate while he is nearly die and chased, and most importantly, it can help you live longer during combats and extend your ultimate. I can play DP without Eul's Scepter.

After Eul, Black King Bar and Refresher Orb is the next Core items of Death Prophet. The effect of BKB is too well-known for all of you, it keep you live longer in chaotic combats, avoid being stun, slow or silence. As i mentioned before, DP's ultimate is super strong , then the R.O is the best item when you want to active the ultimate again in combats or push, every enemy will be afraid of you and run like chickens.

When you had all of those above items, you can consider of purchasing these items in order to make you become harder to kill: Shiva's Guard and Heart of Tarrasque. While activating ultimate during combat, as long as you are alive , your ultimate will destroy everything for you with massive damage, so making you tanker is the best solution. The longer you live, the faster they die. Remember that.

Summary

All in all, having correct items and skills are not all you need to win, you must choose the right position in combats (the first priority is keeping you alive for the ultimate last as long as possible).
I hope you like it and thank you very much for reading, try it and you will like it.
