Terrorblade, The Old Illidan

INTRO

THE GUIDE IS EXPANDING

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 Zeal allows him to slowly regen himself. To aid in his physical prowess, Terrorblade can Metamorphosis into the powerful demon hunter, gaining a ranged attack, attack damage, and clones. He can also use 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 ealy and with metamorphosis we can easly do this (at level 6 with +80 basic damage is really hard). Next we don't need mor slow, let's do conjure image for a better damage output. Sunder when can obviously.

Start & Early

Soul keeper is very weak in start cause of low strengt and low starting hp,
anyway our line is the safe line with a true support. So we need to improve strengt and with this our durability (we can do or the build start or this, this is for more line 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 line.

START 1:

++
Much durability and damage vs creeps, what else?

in case we got an enemy spammer in line we really need also a


We need to maximize zeal for wooding durability and output damage, and refraction if we want gank for give and extra CC to our mates.

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 is 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:

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

Monkey king bar:

an other item to maximige 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.

Friends & Foes

You must have a proper support to have a good lineing 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:
