A lesser being couldn't soar as high

You're going to want to spam with your Q and zone their carries out so that yours can get some easy farm. You're going to want to be a bit ballsy with him toward low strength and melee enemy heroes you're laned against. If played well you should get a few kills in lane. Now once you get some kills and some items you're going to wanna E then activate vail on the same target then Q,W case and follow up with more Q's or Ult where they're going you wanna have them get hit by that ult as much as you can when used. Once you have Atos your ult will be easier to land if you are having trouble with that. Most targets will melt when hit with E Vail and Ult combo. Remember to not spam W it should be used for case kills or as a last option; he is a VERY squishy character but can drop enemies pretty fast so you kinda wanna run away from groups but 1v1 against a good bit of characters he's fine. (I've 1v1 a phantom assassin with just euls and vail and melted her fast)

Pros / Cons

Well sky wrath is a glass cannon and you need to play him like one; drop some mad damage a GTFO!

Your health and armor are both PRETTY bad especially at the start of a match like your armor is .52 I don't think I need to say more

But you do start with a good bit of base mana and a strong spell that only costs 70 mana to use

So intern you will be able to do damage but won't be able to receive much without dying so you have to play it smart

Against most characters you will be able to do some damage to but some like pudge you should just turn the other away

If you're in lane with someone with a good CC move like Sven or slark your lane will probably get first blood
