My DotA Tips for Ish'kafel - the Dark Seer

Outcast Dark Seer, Ish'kafel is judged by Scourge champs as the most deceitful and skillful in influencing or controlling others for his own advantage in Defense of the Ancient (DotA). A dusk tavern intelligence-type hero with full of mysteries and limits his words only for the Lich King, Kel'thuzad. His peculiar abilities and expertise stand out in both attack and defense that is triumphant in knocking out foes from the beginning until the end of the battle.

Using ion shell, a release of magic shield that injures contact enemies, can boost up resources or gold. Another form of skill that makes a well-hidden hollow is vacuum which pulls anything into the center of the chosen parameter and gives damages. Vacuum and ion shell combination are one of the nicest trick to increase wealth in the game.

Boots of speed or any increasing movement speed items are quite not needed in the early game because of his supportive surge skill which bestows the target with maximum speed in a short period of time. The skill can be directed to any ally hero and it is an advantage if you cast the spell into a melee type hero with massive stun abilities like Ursa Warrior, Stone Giant, Pandaren Brewmaster, Magnataur, etc.

The ultimate skill is the best assault technique when invading opponents’ base especially if it is a 5 vs. 5 game. If any hero passes through the wall of replica, an image of themselves will came out which takes 250% damage and deals 35%. Enemies’ tower or any structural unit can be easily destroyed if being placed nearby.

These are my items equipped for Dark Seer: Radiance, Battle Fury, Heart of Tarrasque, Linken Sphere, and Boots of Travel. If you have better suggestions, reactions or any additional information, just leave your comment here or email me. Thanks!
