Death Prophet Mid

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Death Prophet

• Secure range creep lasthits with Crypt Swarm and possibly hit opponents as well.
• Try to throw an auto attack and use crypt swarm at the same time to secure last hits.
• Death Prophet`s survivability is related to Spirit Siphon usage. Siphon as many units as possible for decent duration. You should be looking to dive towers with Siphon charges from level 5, especially 6 onwards with Exorcism.
• Death Prophet excels at taking towers and Roshan early with Exorcism. Call for team to group up around you. Play more forwards and into enemy`s territory when Exorcism is available.
• Avoid playing aggressively when Exorcism is down. Push out waves and prepare for the next move.
• Itemize for survivability and to stay in the middle of the fight. Exorcism and Spirit Siphons will do the damage.
• When in trouble, you can Spirit Siphon opponents and Eul`s yourself. You are still being healed in the air.
• Healing reductions are great problem for Death Prophet. You can itemize against some of them.
