[7.00] Phantom Assassin | Marked for death !

Introduction

---

Hello Welcome to my 7.00 Phantom Assassin Build. Phantom Assassin is my first hero.

Phantom Assassin is Carry and Escape hero.

Pros / Cons

Pros High Critical Damage( Coup de Grace) High agility gain Good movement speed Easy to play Easy to farm because of Blur

Cons Weak early game Easily countered with Monkey King Bar Need target to escape with Phantom Strike Will be outfarmed later by another hard carry Easy to kill with lot of disables

Little Skills Explanation

Stifling Dagger

• Stifling Dagger will slow 50% of enemy's movement speed.
• Stifling Dagger has 70 Base Damage + 25%/40%/55%/70% of your damage.
• Stifling Dagger will hit enemy with UAM like battlefury's cleave, Eye of Skadi, Desolator, etc

---

Phantom Strike

• Phantom Strike grants 130 Bonus Atk Spd if targeted to enemy.
• Phantom Strike's Bonus Atk Spd will last 4 seconds or 4 attacks.
• In 6.88 Phantom Strike is go through Spell Immunity!

---

Blur

• Blur gives Phantom Assassin 20%/30%/40%/50% Evasion just like free Butterfly.
• Phantom Assassin will vanish from the map if there isn't any enemies near her.
• Can be countered with Monkey King Bar

---

Coup de Grace

• Gives Phantom Assassin 15% chance to Critical.
• Critical damage is 230%/340%/450%
• Works with lifesteal , Stifling Dagger , and on your illusions like Manta Style's illusions

Items Justification

Safelane Carry

Leaving the fountain

• Tango for HP regen in laning phase
• Stout Shield for damage block from being harrassed and upgraded to Vanguard later
• Quelling Blade for bonus damage when attacking creep and cutting trees
• Faerie Fire for a little bonus damage and instant healing

---

Early Game

• Phase Boots low attack speed if compared with Power Treads. But phase gives more damage and Phase for easier escaping and chasing.
• Perseverance great survivability for HP and MP regen and bonus 10 damage out of nowhere.

---

Mid Game

• battlefury yeah, great for farming and give more cleave damage to enemy when Coup de Grace is actived
• Vanguard if u need more health i recommend this and will be upgraded later too Abyssal Blade
• Vladmir's Offering usually if you are playing on high bracket, you will have either the offlane or support will make this. Only make this if no one build. Because now pa has 10% lifesteal talen.
• Manta Style as noticed above, it works with Blur , Coup de Grace , or with Phantom Strike for easy blink to escape.

---

Late Game Choices

• Black King Bar buy this if u are disabled by disables or spellcaster
• Monkey King Bar buy this if need more damage and attackspeed or enemy your enemy have evasion item such as Butterfly , Heaven's Halberd , etc
• Abyssal Blade i really recommend this. You already have Vanguard so buy Skull Basher and upgrade it.
• assault cuiras buy this if u need more armor and you need to reduce opponent's armor. Dont buy it if one of you team already have it.
• Boots of Travel yeah no need to explain.
• Diffusal Blade use this if u need to slow opponent or you or fighting against Omniknight or another annoying buff
• Moon Shard its a great item increase your attack speed. But i dont really like this item, if i buy it i usually consume it so i have 60 permanent attack speed.
• Eye of Skadi as noticed above, it works with Stifling Dagger for easy chasing and it also have a great stats for more survavibility.
• Butterfly buy this if enemy dont have any MKB-ers. Don't buy this item if your enemy already have Monkey King Bar
• Pipe of Insight as noticed, Phantom Assassin is kinda weak against magic damage Nuke, blur wont work on it, so maybe u need to build it if no one does!

---

Core Extension

Notes : I usually don't buy these items.

• Echo Sabre its great u get an additional attack but since u already have Phantom Strike bonus attack speed i not really recommend it.
• Armlet of Mordiggian some Phantom Assassin i met use this item, for me this isn't really useful, but it provides more Coup de Grace damage , and more survavibility to Phantom Assassin
• Hand of Midas no need to explain, faster attack speed, and easier money and EXP
• Silver Edge why? Buy this if u are fighting against something like Bristleback , use it disable passive skill for a while.

---

Midlane

I'll only explain some of the item that not exist in Safelane build.

• Bottle Why?? Its good get it ASAP to harras your enemy with Stifling Dagger in the mid lane. Since it gives more damage after 6.87 Patch.
• Desolator it gives u more damage and i think its the most cheap and effective damage item. Stifling Dagger gives Desolator effects too.

Talents Explanation

Safelane Carry

[*] 15 Damage Instead of 150 health? I don't really think so, but if there's an available explanation, i want to choose situational. If i am facing a nuking enemy with spells, i prefer for 150 HP
[*] 10% Lifesteal Instead of 15 Move Speed? Yeah, because we already have phase boots.
[*] 10 All stats Instead of 35 Attack Speed? If you are already lv 20 that means we're already in Mid to Late Game, so i think we need to focus more on stats and buy item like skadi, etc.
[*] 25 Agility Instead of Double Strike Stifling Dagger? Somehow i prefer 25 agility, because its too great to decline. But double strike is also good

Midlane

[*] 15 Damage Instead of 150 health? I don't really think so, but if there's an available explanation, i want to choose situational. If i am facing a nuking enemy with spells, i prefer for 150 HP
[*] 15 Move Speed Instead of 10% Lifesteal? Usually when i am playing Mid PA I really need movement speed, because I am the mid, not the carry. So we should fight and roam at mid game, but either is good
[*] 10 All stats Instead of 35 Attack Speed? If you are already lv 20 that means we're already in Mid to Late Game, so i think we need to focus more on stats and buy item like skadi, etc.
[*] Double Strike Stifling Dagger Instead of 25 Agility ? Here, because this PA is a midlaner, that mean, usually we are faster to go for lv 25 than our carry. I don't have a really good reason for this, but both are good.

Allies and Enemies

Allies

• This Chuck Norris is a great friend of Phantom Assassin they have 2 slow skill, and he have Purification that means Mortred can be more brave
• 's Fireblast can give easy kill to Phantom Assassin. Ignite slows enemy , for easier chasing with Mortred's Stifling Dagger. And Bloodlust gives more attack speed to Mortred. It's a really great combination
• Earth Spike stun enemies and Hex gives easy kill for Mortred.
  The problem on the Early game is she need disabler.
• same as Lion.

---

Enemies

• 's Enfeeble will make Mortred unable to farm.
• 's Static Link is stealing Mortred's damage just like Bane did
• And all the opponent with Monkey King Bar
• And last one, Phantom Assassin is weak with magic NUKER early game such as Tinker

Gameplay

They say Phantom Assassin is a late gamer i think she is not. He will outcarried later

Early Game

Just noticed above, laning will be easier with all these allies. In the early game u can both, focus on farm or get an easy secure kill with these allies. or just farm farm and farm until u get to the core. Killsteal every enemy from the support as much as you can because you are the carry !

---

Mid Game

Okay here, kill as much enemy as u can, dont take this game to the late game because enemies will start making Monkey King Bar as i said above im not saying Phantom Assassin as a late gamer / hard carry because he is easily countered. So end the game ASAP before the enemy's carry making a Monkey King Bar. Join the Teamfight, Farm less.

---

Late Game

If your enemy already have Monkey King Bar and your net worth is less than him. Then this is your nemesis. If u have killed a lot enemy so they dont have any MKB-ers then its your time to rule the world and get RAMPAGES LMAO

Finally Im Finish With This

Yeah thanks for reading this guide feel free to comment if tell me if there is something wrong with this guide and this guide is exclusive for 6.87 patch. Maybe It will outdated some day.

If you thinks this is a good guide then thumbs up :D

Thanks!
