Oh look Im over here not there

Introduction

This is my first time Making a guide so don't get to angry.
Phantom Lancer is one of the most overpowered characters there is with his illusions he fools enemies into using their strongest spells only to kill mere fakes. In a game a phantom lancer has to be crushed the whole time or the enemy stands no chance of even winning. With the new patch He became stronger now being able to rush opponents constantly allowing him to hunt down the enemy.

Items and reason why

The first item Basilus lets you regen any mana you use on first level to avoid taking too much dmg. Later on in game you can replace it with whatever you want

The second item perseverance helps for regeneration mostly with a little damage. near end game get battle fury.

The third is because the speed is tremendous help to hunt down enemy's, also useful to run away or join a group fight.

The fourth item the diffusal blades destroy enemy buffs or any negative buffs on you also does plenty of damage.

The fifth item is pretty obvious butterfly good damage good evasion some agility and attack speed. I find that his active also comes in handy when trying to run away from Phantom Assassin that extra boost helps a little.

The sixth item radiance not needed but it does damage and aura is pretty good so its helpful to have.

Skills

Doppelganger comes first because you can dodge missile attacks and create emergency illusions.

Spirit Lance because of the high damage output and the slow so you and your ally can get you attacks in and get a kill early on.

The Phantom Rush allows for escape and hunting down you enemy speedily allowing a fast get in and kill

Juxtapose the single most deadly skill is to mass create illusions it allows you to hide among your illusions and even teleport away also giving you extra damage to enemies. these illusions can keep your enemies guessing on which is the real you.

Summary

The way this build is played is by dodging any ensnares or slows or attacks that the enemy throw at you using doppelganger and enemy slows using purge.

Spirit Lance and Phantom Rush allows you to hunt down your adversary keeping the pressure on him.

Juxtapose allows for yo to hide among the illusions making it hard to find you.

The items allow for you to be just near them and still kill them slowly and when you hit them its gonna do 200+ damage to them. imagine 10 illusions 40 damage each time they hit it's not much much but 10 fakes doing 40 and your own 200 damage add up real fast.

Ranked Play

I can Honestly tell you with this build never have i lost a single game Especially in ranked i usually die 3 time get 15-20 kills i also am able to keep the pressure on the enemy without end a good Phantom Lancer would be unstoppable.

To get the first kill get a friend to stun your enemies or a pudge to gank and rot then add spirit lance allowing you to both get your easy levels.

Pros / Cons

Pros

This guy allows for you and your allies to hunt down the enemy team and slow them down for backup.

He does damage like no one has seen and the illusions help to trick and hunt those that run away from you.

With all the damage he does with he build just being near him hurts most enemies let alone when he actually gets to them.

Even a Drow won't be able to stop his hunt unless she uses the gust and the the slow. Which you can dodge using doppelganger.

enemies with aoe abilties can be your bane but you can dodge them using doppelganger.

When you pick Phantom Lancer people will try to stop you at all costs and hunt you down he is very deadly later on so they will want to crush you early on.

Creeping / Jungling

Phantom lancer should stay back if there only ranged heroes in his lane he doesn't need the money immediately but it really helps.

You should only Jungle with Phantom Lancer When he is level 6 or more so he can make illusions which can give the real on a brake.

Teamwork

Phantom is the one that hunts his enemies down with allies there he can help to take down enemies but he's more of meant to get that last kill.

by level 2 he and some other hero can gang up and usually get a kill early on boosting them up a rank
