At some point, the invisibility limit is removed. Is it worth getting on Leshrac?

Nope, never.

Shadow Blade is suited to Heroes who can run up to their Targets while Invis and make use of the 150 Bonus Physical Damage, e.g. Kunkka, Dragon Knight, etc.

Leshrac can't really Initiate Ganks due to his Stun being unreliable, so Shadow Blade and Blink Dagger aren't that effective on him.

If you want to be able to jump into the middle of a fight with Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova up without getting slaughtered, then Eul's Scepter of Divinity is the best answer. 2.5 seconds of Invincibility (barring Meat Hook). Black King Bar might also work in some cases.

No it is never worth getting on Leshrac 3000 gold for a form of escape which is easily countered by Dust. More so you can use that gold to get more mana regen or as Xyrus said Eul's Scepter of Divinity. Also the bonus attack speed isn't that useful due to Leshrac not being a right-clicker
Your new diet for heroes; You will need 4 wards (cuz wards taste better), 1 set of tangoes, 1 mango, 1 cheese.
With this you can make a nice Tango Mango Cheese platter. You can wash this all down with a nice bottle of water, Can be flavoured with red, green, yellow, blue, purple AND GOLD!
Caution: Taking roshan 3 times is required.

Isn't Pulse Nova disabled when Lesh is invisible anyways? What's the point?

If you want to initiate, Blink Dagger is better. If you want to escape, Blink Dagger or Force Staff are far better. If you want to do more damage, buffing your right-click makes no sense, get Aghanim's Scepter, Veil of Discord or something.

At some patch (spring cleaning, I think) I didnt see that in the additional information (Hold Alt, cursor spell). And it worked, too. Chasing and killing is much safer.

Interesting...apparently invisible Pulse Nova works, it was a tooltip error that was removed.

I guess it's a pretty fun troll build then. Like Shadow Blade on Crystal Maiden or Witch Doctor to become invisible when ulting, it's a pretty good way to stomp pubs who don't know about Dust of Appearance. But other than that, yeah, I don't think you'll get farther with SB Leshrac than with Radiance Invoker : the "screw you russians" tier :)
