Lifestealer's Lazy Guide

Wait there's an "Insert Chapter" button...

Lifestealer (Or Naix still used to that name) is meant for the jungle, so dont even bother going to the lanes unless u accidently learnt something other than feast by accident at level 1.

Buy a stout shield, 1 tango, 1 healing salve and 3 iron branches. Dont bother with the wood cutting axe (quelling blade) cause the three tangos are more than suffcient to manouver the jungle for the first 10 minutes. Dont need courier also as the extra 150 golds not worth the 5 seconds you spend to walk to the shop at the corners of the map. If you randomed naix then buy all means go ahead (but i still suggest u'd rather get a buckler).

Start with the level 2 creeps and work you way to the three groups at the middle of the jungle. Focus on the two groups parallel to one another, using the third group (Seperated by a row of trees) to "CREEP PULL." Use the three tangos to cut open a path through the row of trees and time it well so that you dont waste too much time waiting for you creeps to come by. You can go search youtube for some pulling techniques (get the rough timing sense). The first item you should buy is the "Gloves of Haste" and not "Shoe" or "belt of strength." You'll need all the attack speed to reduce time killing of those neutral creeps. Farm out your "Threads" and start building your "Armlet." While farming don't just spend all you time and focus on the creeps and spend some awarness on the runes to alert your allies or help gank at the lane nearest to you.

Once you get your armlet you should probably team up with an ally who can disable and gank for exp. This is much faster than continuing at the creeps and if you manage a few kills you could get your "M.O.M" (mask of madeness) faster (No pun intended). Once you get your mask of madeness, abondon that disabling ally and start farming heros. Start with those lone intel/support heros who farm (not ganking with their allies) like they are going to carry. I don't need to explain this but use the following sequence:

"Mordigan" > " Mask Of Madness" > " Open wound" > " Rage"

You could mess up the sequence but atleast get your timing for "Rage" right. After some practice you would learn to time it right before your foe tries to stun or slow you. This way you get a few extra hits as he turns to run (He has to run, with your mordigan ON and you mask if madness you'd be hitting him like a maniac). And then get your basher. But remeber, Don't let the pair or trio of supporters farm once you start killing them. Try you very best to prevent them from saving up for that green scepter.

Once you get your basher, killing shouldn't be a problem but you still have the carry heros in the opponents to worry about. Unless there is a Phantom ***ain in the opponent (farm for monkey king bar), farm for "Critical." With the damage of you morgigan, the cheapest and fastest way to make use of that damage is to get the "Crystalys." By the time your rage finishes you would probably taken out 2 heros. End with daedalus and save the last item for situation items. Get a heart or dagger preferably.

The Skill sequnce is probably self explainable so wouldn't be getting into the details. Concluding, you would probably have a great game after those initially boring 10 minutes in the jungle. But this would probably give the most sense of satisfaction. However avoid this build and technique if opponent contains heros like void, troll or pa (if your team has more than one stunner feel free to use this technique against pa as well, but get monkey king bar instead of daedalus.)
