Templar Assassin: Mid-Late Owner [Quick Guide]

Introduction

Templar Assassin is one of the best middle lane heroes.She is capable of dealing HUGE amount of burst physical damage.Unlike other physical damage dealers,Templar Assassin reaches big amount of normal damage with carry items.

Ganking at level 7 should kill someone but be careful and do not always rely on your refraction on chasing a hero through towers.

[Items] Build #1/Alternate

3xBranchwill help you last hitting creeps. ...still cannot last hit?FEAR NOT! Refraction is here,use it to last hit and combine it with Psy Blades and with good positioning you'll have 15 plus last hits in 3 minutes!Run out of mana? you should now have enough money to buy bottles.Always check for runes every 2 minutes (2:00,4:00,6:00,and so on)to fill up your bottle.Ganking is so easy with Phase Boots.This makes easier to chase heroes and prevents creeps from blocking your way.In the middle game you should now have the Crystalys this is a very important to you due to its critical strike that will make your opponents easier to kill.And yeah!Mask Of Madness why?its the movement speed and the MAX attack speed guys!This is why I think you dont need butterfly for the attack speed or you can buy Blink Dagger instead of this but i recommend Mask of Madness because cant be easily be killed with this even you'll take 30% more damage because of your Refraction that protects you from harms way.With this you can easily kill an opponent in an Instant with no need of Blink Dagga..|And your last core item YASHA!Makes you 10% faster,its for chasing fast heroes like Luna and Chaos Knight.


At Late Game,you should really complete the luxury items in order to stay with the game.

PS: Divine RapeIer is situational - "with great power comes with great responsibility"

[Items]Build #2: The Rush Build!

EARLY GAME
With this build you should control in positioning your Psy Blades to harass your opponent.Try Positioning also in denying your creeps to last hit or to hit your opponent.Doing this up to level 6 or 7 will get you good farm.
GANKING
You should be at least level 6 to gank at lanes and you should have your Phase Boots and finally your mana is not depleted.When ganking use plant a trap,detonate,refract,meld then kill,easy.
Do not gank heroes that are hugging their towers without your creeps there becoz your Refraction instances will run out and you might be killed.
