Venomancer Offlane

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Venomancer

• If the lane is tough, consider putting more points in Plague Wards and move to the jungle if necessary.
• Hit opponents regularly to apply ticking damage from Poison Sting.
• Galed opponents can be denied, so do your best to secure a last hit on a dying hero.
• Deny low health Plague Wards to deprive opponents of extra gold.
• Venomancer is great at defending towers as you can place a bunch of Plague Wards around it.
• Use Plague Wards off cd when you are moving around to scout, control runes and block camps.
• Farm aggressively, as Plague Wards provide vision and farm dangerous spots for you along with gale and sting.
• In fights, look to affect as many heroes as possible with Venomous Gale.
• When not much is happening, push out the side lanes with Gale and Plague Wards.
• Pick up Aghanims Scepter in the late game to significantly increase your damage through right clicks and Plague Wards.
• Noxious Plague will snowball a teamfight in your favour if you can burst down the first hero affected by it.
