Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Slark

  • As you load into the game, start running to scout opponents placing wards as you have high night vision.
  • Hit an opponent whenever you can to create a damage difference of 4. It`ll help you with last hiting.
  • If you are able to build up a few Essence Shift stacks, look to commit for a kill attempt with Pounce.
  • Play more aggressively during night time as you have increased vision.
  • Whenever you are in trouble, you can Pounce away or even Shadow Dance and teleport out.
  • Pick up a couple of sentries to deward when you sense with Shadow Dance you are being seen.
  • Whenever you have a decent amount of Essence Shift, play more aggressively and look for extra kills.
  • When not much is happening, push out the side lanes as Slark is quite elusive.
  • Slarks Aghanims Shard is very good for man fighting and saving allies, consider purchasing after your 3 main items.
  • When low on HP, look to get out of enemy vision to gain some HP regen from your Barracuda innate.
