Introduction

No one can learn Invoker from a guide. So i dont think its necessary to explain how to creep, how to play. This guide is to teach you items and skills (also skill combos which really hurts.)
Invoker can be played in 2 ways. Carry or Nuker. I prefer nuker. But carry also can rock. Even if you farmed carry, you should use your skills very well (to escape or to attack etc..)
I created a detailed skills chapter. You can check skills and Combos from this guide and start playing and trying to get used to them. My item build for carry is maybe not perfect but for nuker it is. Hope you will learn and enjoy playing invoker.
