Visage, the Gank Tank

Introduction - "This build is intended to be more of a late game nuke/hard carry build than support," - Early Game - " Visage is best suited to lane with another hero who can support you and do high levels of burst DPS ( Ursa is probably the best, but any high burst DPS should work)." - Levwl 6+ - "This is where Visage really starts to shine. At level six, you should get your familiars. While they are not yet that powerful, they will allow you to do enough burst damage dps combined with your Grave Chill and auto attack to build your soul charges up rather quickly so that you can use your Soul Assumption."

I did not explicitly state that he is a ganker at level 6 and then on, but it is implied. He may not be the most heavy ganker out there, but once he gets his familiars it's another story. My main intent was to show that he can get kills easily early game and from there it is possible to carry the game.

In practice though, I find that the leveling of your Gravekeeper's Cloak is very situational. Lately, I tend to level up my Soul Assumption to level 3 than level up my Gravekeeper's Cloak and end up leveling that last so I may update this guide to reflect that soon if it goes well.

Easy. Soul charges are hard to come by at the beginning of the game due to your damage output. You can go ahead and level it early, but it's not going to matter, because good luck trying to get those soul charges. I also have read those guides, but I wanted to put together a guide that doesn't recommend buying branches as starting items. I don't really take any guide that recommends to do that seriously.

why would you max Soul Assumption at lvl9. why. why the actual **** would you do that if you're playing ganking orientated. you do that when you're playing support orientated obvi. You say he shines at lvl 6 but with your build at lvl6 you only have lvl 2 Soul Assumption and lvl 2 Grave Chill and a lvl1 Gravekeeper's Cloak sitting there awkwardly as it should have been taken at 2 and Soul Assumption at 5.

agreed, meeps and visage synergize quite well :P

I understand why you would do that, but I normally play with at least one friend on skype who can synergize with me for easy ganks. If you have a good laning partner its easy mode :) thanks for the rate up!

Love this guide, personally prefer maxing my armour above my slow though, just so nukes early aren't as ridiculous. Rate up from me
