her form. The spirits may not be directly controlled
but will attack nearby enemies and will attack any

Expulsion ends, the spirits will heal the Defiler.

Spirits heal you for 25% of the damage they dealt. Max 1000 health heal.

Item Build

1. Post Haste
Image
Gives you that extra movement speed to chase down heroes, escape, and lets you TP all over the map to farm.

2. Helm of the Black Legion
Image
A crucial early game item, and crucial to your item build. Gives your HP regen, more HP, and a chance to block damage. First step to becoming a tanking spellcaster.

3. Sacrificial Stone
Image
Once made, actively work to get kills to get charges on this item. If you have 5+ charges on your bloodstone, you will be very tough to kill even if all 5 heroes are focusing on you.

4. Talisman of Exile
Image
Beginning item.

5. Frostfield Plate
Image
The final item to your tank build. Adds another AOE frost attack and gives you armor. You are very buff at this point.

6. Totem of Kuldra (Luxury)
Image
A luxury item that helps stack with your intelligence and gives you another crowd control spell.

Strategy

Early game:
Try to solo middle lane if possible. Focus on last hitting and denying. You are pretty squishy early and you need to farm a Helm of Black Legion asap. Once your wave of death is level 3, you can start nuking your enemy lane heroes. At level 7, you should have level 4 of your wave and also your ultimate, so you can make a serious push at the first tower. Pop your ultimate, wave creeps and/or enemy heroes to ward them off. With a help of a teammate or two, the first tower in middle can be taken down quite quickly when you hit level 7. You helm of black legion should be farmed at this point and you should be actively farming to make your post haste.

Mid Game:
After your post haste is made, it gets much easier to farm. TP around the map where opposing teams creeps start bunching up, and farm easily with your nuke and attack. Once your sacrificial stone is made, you can start helping out your team. In team battles, pop your ultimate, pick a target to focus on, and run into the thick of things. Heroes that dare to fight you with your ultimate on will quickly run in panic as they realize what their doing. Spam your wave off every cooldown, and wave them if they are fleeing. Getting quick charges on your sacrificial stone is crucial.

Late Game:
If you haven’t died much, you’ve farmed well, and you have over 6 charges on your bloodstone, you are almost unstoppable. Farming a Frostfield Plate should be no problem at this point. Now at this point of the game, Defiler’s most important spell is silence. When pushing their rax or in a lane, using silence in the thick of fights can leave enemies dazed and not knowing what to do, allowing your team’s carries to take advantage and kill them. Again, pop your ultimate when attacking towers/rax, and spam your nuke to kill creeps. You are very hard to kill at this point, so if your ultimate is up, you can easily tank 2 to 4 enemy heroes as long as you have support from your teammates as well.

Thanks for reading.
