Early

During laning phase, you have to spam your second ability a lot. You have to observe which of the two in your lane doesn't have regeneration and aim for them. Concussive Shot has the advantage that it can be cast from far away, and if you're covered, it won't hit enemies with your wand. Always remember to pressure and communicate to your carry who to focus on so that they can get the kill. Pressure and only use your first ability to annoy them, but take advantage of the fact that your W slows them down and allows you to combo. Depending on who you're up against, see which one is better to level up, your first or third ability. Remember that your third ability not only silences, but also increases magic damage.

Mid game

It depends a lot on which heroes you're fighting. My recommendation is to always go for Eul and Aether. To harass from long range and be able to escape faster. Then look for a scepter. A scepter will help you in any team fight, as it will allow you to silence two enemies and use double ultimates. If an enemy has Linken, it doesn't matter. Use your third ability on a nearby enemy and it will affect them just the same. Add Atos and you'll allow your team to win any team fight.

Late game

Add Kaya and items that increase intelligence. Make sure your spells have a lot of weight due to your intelligence multiplier. Get greaves to keep your team healthy and always ward. Vyse is a good option as your next powerful item.
