Terroblade. Illidan.

INTRODUCTION

Hi All i'm Roditalia and i play dota since WCIII.
Terrorblade was my favourite here so i want make a guide for him.
Yes Exatly before he comes!

The Soul Keeper has one of the most feared growth potentials of all. While initially weak, if left unchecked he can come back to slaughter his enemies with ease. His ability to Soul Steal allows him to slowly siphon life from one target to himself. To aid in his physical prowess, Terrorblade can Metamorphosis into the powerful demon hunter, gaining a ranged attack and additional life. He can also Conjure Images to deceive or simply unleash them upon his enemies. Some have questioned his mortality, as he can Sunder to swap his current health with that of someone robust and lively, essentially escaping death, and sending someone close to their own.

Terrorblade is the twin brother of the Anti-Mage. Both of Night Elf descent, Terrorblade was drawn in by the powers of the Undead, plunging deeper into the abyss of no return, growing large, gargoyle-like wings to symbolize his breaking from the Night Elf world. Having mastered the art of image-creation and soul manipulation, he has the ability to transform into a fearsome and terrifying demonic form, obtaining the powers to hurl energy at his opponents. Large moonblades slashing, he is one to fear on the battlefield.

we need to start with reflection cause it give a massive (for a carry) CC with a bit damage, can be usefull in start for escape or chase, at start also we need to improve our
damage very early and with metamorphosis we can easly do this (at level 7 with +80 basic damage is really good). Next we don't need more slow, let's pick conjure image for a better damage output. Sunder when we can obviously.

SKILLS USAGE

Reflection
The most important thing for low levels kills, 60% slow, OMG! anyway good chase & escape skill.


Conjure Image
This skill is pretty usefull in latergame, cause of maximization of our DPS output.


Metamorphosis
Ever useful skill, good in early for lasthitting and deny, +80 damage at liv 7, is a bit overpowered


Sunder
Ganked? no problems!
-You: being ganked 1000HP
-Enemy hero1: is attacking you. for example 2000hp hero
-Enemy hero2: is attacking you. for example 1000hp hero
-Attack the hero with lowest HP, an wait you drop down to 20% of your full hp.
-use Sunder on the enemy with full HP, menawile you have done for example 500 dmg to the 1000HP hero.
Now you are full HP, Vs 2 heroes near to death :D gg.

very usefull in teamfight and more, being hard to master on ally using.
being extra care upon BKB usage! your HP amount will not change! (usefull upon ally use)

START & EARLY GAME

Soul keeper is very weak in start cause of low strenght and low starting hp,
anyway our lane is the safe lane ,remember, with a true support. So we need to improve strenght and with this our durability (we can do or the build start or this, this is for more lane durability and without spammers)
++++

After low time we have to hold this with or withou courier cause we can buy this in the shop in the lane.

ITEMS

next the start phase essentially we have to upgrade our output damage, essentially buying a

that give us better durability and better last-hit power.

then rush for boots, the best are power treads to hold in strenght form to give us a bit of durability

that item provide us hight MS and better attack speed.

The real core of Soul keeper item building is Manta Style



this item provide us 2 extra illusions agility and durability, its kind perfect!


At this moment we have to choose our orb. there are 3 possibilities:

Satanic:

is the best orb, give lifesteal and durability.

Eyes Of Skadi:

give slow and durability and a bit of attack damage.

Diffusal Blade:

is better keep this item if enemy team is full of mages.

all other items are luxuries.

Butterfly:

maximize your damage, the best item but is hard to do.

Monkey king bar:

an other item to maximize your damage but not the best.

Daedalus:

with our hight attack speed crit damage is an easy way.

Assault Currias:

a bit of armor and more attack speed.

Black King Bar:

if you are ever focussed is the best way.

Magic Wand:

can be usefull vs spammer enemys in early game.

Ethereal Blade:

you can build this with a hard carry enemy team.

Shadow Blade:

very very situational, upon your choose.

Sange and Yasha:

no way, manta is supreme better.

Abyssal Blade:

you are half ranged, it's useless.

FRIEND AND FOES

You must have a proper support to have a good laneing phase you have to choose someone with CC, you make the damage, he make the CC.




I think Lion and Rhasta are the best support you can have.



Dazzle can be good also.

Our best foes are big mobility heroes with stuns and area massive skills the perfect 2 examples of foes are:
