The guide to Nevermore

For the 3rd post, I will be posting a strategy guide on a particular hero - Shadow Fiend

Shadow Fiend also known as SF is a hero that is suitable to be a late-game hero.. His skills are - Shadowraze, Necromastery, Presence of the Dark Lord and Requiem of Souls.. Shadowraze bascially damages the enemy in 3 different range using buttons 'z', 'x', 'c'.. Necromastery is a skill that allows SF to gain 2 bonus damage for every target kill.. Maximum of 60 damage.. However, when SF dies, this bonus damager will reduce by half.. Presence of the Dark Lord reduces the enemy's armour by a maximum of 4 within a small area.. Lastly his ultimate, Reguiem of Souls.. It releases the souls he has stored dealing damage to people around it.. Damage increases if the units are closer to him..

Next, I will be talking about the item build.. Firstly, get a chick to transport items and get 2 tango of essification and 2 ironwood branch.. After farming enough money, get an empty bottle and transform your chick to a bird for easy transportation.. Reason for getting bottle is because it can regenerate your hp and mana by 200 and 100 respectively each charge.. The bottle when full has 3 charges.. When your bottle runs out, the bird comes in handy as it can replenish the bottle..

Basically, SF can go on a farming spree now as he can Shadowraze freely to farm for money.. The next item I would recommend is the Kelen's Dagger of Escape'.. This item allows the hero to blink.. Which is a useful tool for the SF to escape out of danger..

The 3rd item will be Boots of Travel.. This item allows SF to teleport to an ally unit.. This allows SF to teleport to a desirable place in a very fast time.. This will also enhance his farming..

As SF is low in hp and has 60 bonus damage, I will prefer to go for item that will boost his health greatly.. The item which does the job is the Heart of Tarrasque(HoT).. This item has the effect of adding 800 hp which is greatly benefical to SF..

We are almost done here but not to forget this item.. This is my favourite item when I am playing SF.. The Butterfly.. The effect of The Butterfly is - Adds 30 damage, adds 30 to agility, increases 30% to evasion and increases 30% to attack speed.. As SF is an agility based hero, The Butterfly adds a total of 60 damage.. Even after the addition 800 hp from HoT, it is still quite weak thus the 30% evasion is useful here.. Enemies will tend to miss their attacks more.. Needless to say, what is high damage when your attacks are slow.. The 30% increase to attack speed will input more fear into your enemies..

From here on, it is free for all.. Means that the user can play around with items and try different combination but dun forget, each hero can only carry 6 items so choose your items carefully..
