Wraith King Carry

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Wraith King

• If you have a strong level 2 powerspike on the lane, skill Vampiric Spirit on level 2, build up skeletons, release them on level 2 and use Wraithfire Blast.
• Use Wraithfire Blast to secure ranged creep lasthits by either stunning the creep or an opponent.
• When farming jungle, don`t let your skeletons tank neutral creeps too much.
• When neutral camp is at 30% of total health, move to the next camp to show your skeletons the way.
• You should have vampiric spirit maxed out around level 7 to increase farming speed.
• Consider keeping a skill point on level 6 or invest it in spells that will improve your farming speed if you are jungling.
• Once you have a Blink Dagger, focus on killing backliners or supports first.
• Mana burn is a big problem for the Wraith King. Consider aghanims shard when playing against heroes that have mana burn or buy diffusal.
• Skeletons are not super useful in teamfights. Use them to push out lanes or after fights to take the buildings.
