Shadow Shaman Support

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Shadow Shaman

• Make use of Shadow Shaman`s high base damage to secure last hits and denies.
• A good Combo is to use Hex followed by Mass Serpent Ward with Shackles.
• You can pull nearby neutral or lane creeps to your Mass Serpent Wards after you made a move to get some extra gold.
• If opponents are farming your Mass Serpent Wards, try to deny individual Serpent Wards with other Serpent Wards if you have the Cluster Cluck facet.
• Take your time to farm up Aether Lens or Blink Dagger, so that you can cast you spells more easily in fights.
• Initiate on enemies with your long lasting disables, so your allies can follow-up for a kill.
• In certain games, Black King Bar can be great to get off full Shackles durations.
• Aghanim`s Scepter and a Refresher Orb in late game allow you to breach high ground and end the game.
• Use portals to move around the map and setup kills with your lengthy disables.
