Voodoo Restoration and 
Healing Ward. While it does not heal quickly, the fact that it can remain up almost indefinitely lets it shine while laning and farming. 'Almost' is the keyword. Since it can be destroyed with attacks like 
Tombstone and she has no direct way of protecting it like 
Soul Rip, summoning it in a fight is risky. However, there are certain benefits for using it in combat. For example, the speed buff can help allies further away catch up. It also synergizes well with her other basic abilities which will be covered below. Overall, this is primarily an out of combat tool, so placing it under her tower is the best bet as this ensures its safety and lets allies retreat more easily. Since it does scale based on health, it can remain relevant into the late game as her team prepares for and recoups from fights.
Retaliate, enemies can choose not to attack for the duration but unlike that ability, this affects all their attacks instead of against just 1 target. If they choose to attack less to alleviate the damage, this effectively nearly disarms multiple heroes like 
Inner Fire. This puts them in a conundrum: Maximize their damage dealt and taken, or minimize them. She herself has low armor, so focusing her down after she comes close to trigger the ability can be enticing. It works best against carries, so she should try to reach as many of them as possible. While they may ignore attacks in favour of spells, Hearth can only be destroyed by attacks. Therefore if they want to end her source of healing, some of them will have to volunteer as tribute to do it.
Gem of True Sight then a targeted reveal like 
Track. This lets her deward without needing too many 
Sentry Wards, improving her item independency. The stun is definitely good considering her fair attack range. Keep in mind that it triggers on an attack that cannot be toggled like 
Infernal Blade though, so take care when entering a fight. The area stun is definitely much more powerful when combined with Hearth. However, the cast range is very short so this combo can be difficult to pull off. Also, performing the area stun does forego the targeted reveal, so there is more to consider.
Fiend's Grip and 
Black Hole can end this channel early with the right selection or positioning. Next, this does not apply any dispel upon gaining it. So, saving allies who are already disabled will not help as much, so proactive usage is encouraged. In terms of upsides, this ultimate lets allies go for more offensive items instead of rushing 
Black King Bar. It also synergizes with Singe since now, enemies can't affect allies with most of their abilities. So if they want to harm her team, they will have to mostly do it through attacks, which will heavily damage them. Aghanim's Scepter. This upgrade grants her more safety and lets her scale better into the game by countering enemy itemization. At level 20, the cast range talent is high but remember it only affects Hearth and Sacred Fire. So, the value isn't too extreme but she can get more items with the gold talent to abuse this more. This in particular helps her perform the Q-E combo for better ranged stuns. The other talent does double the health of her fireplace, letting her actually heal allies more consistently inside a fight. At level 25, the Kindle talent gives 100% uptime on the True Sight and more importantly, lets her chain the stun when timed correctly. But the ultimate talent is just super good on its own so yeah. In terms of items, she is fairly independent so she can just go for the normal support options to aid her team.DOTAFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level.
