Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Shadow Fiend

  • Stack Shadowraze debuffs on the enemy laner and secure last hits at the same time if possible.
  • Build up Necromastery stacks through last hitting and capitalize on the extra damage you have.
  • Try to stack camps close to mid after you push in the wave.
  • Kill the creepwave prior to rune spawns quickly and collect the runes. You need runes badly for mana.
  • Alert your teammates to stack for you as you can clear those early.
  • Look to farm your BKB before you join fights as Shadow Fiend is quite susceptible to disables.
  • Keep side lanes pushed out when not much is happening.
