Chaos Knight Offlane

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Chaos Knight

• Try to get level 2 before your opponent and go for a kill with your support. Chaos knight has good kill potential with levels. Try to catch enemies that are alone in 2 versus 1 trades.
• Try to have chaos strike maxed by level 7 as it is your main tool for farming and will help with burst early. It also provides you with critical lifesteal to not have to go back to base while farming.
• Use Phantasm off cooldown not just to fight but also to farm faster unless you suspect a fight will happen soon. Prioritize Ancient creeps whenever possible with Phantasm usage.
• Illusions scale with stat attributes, attack speed and movement speed increases, health regeneration and some attack modifiers like lifesteal and crit.
• Phantasmagoria makes your Phantasm illusions into strong illusions so they can`t be instantly killed with hex, dagon or drains.
• Try to target and burst enemy supports and save heroes at the start of fights. Your illusions will generally be killed off as the fight continues.
• With Blink Dagger you can use Phantasm, blink in and pull illusions on target by using Reality Rift. Catch the important backline heroes with this like Sniper and Oracle.
