-Introduction-

Hello there This is my first guide and I really would appreciate it, if u just read it and posted !contructive! comments. I'm not a native speaker and the guide's not done until I say so! :P Oh btw, I play pub, so it might not be too pro, but it worked so far Krobelus is an awesome pusher and destroys towers in no time! Also it may be tougher to kill her than it looks like

-Story-


Krobelus spent her living days as a fervent member of a cult of Death Sayers. Her belief in the ways of death and the perfect harmony it brings has given her dead spirit a chance to wreak havoc among the chaotic living. She uses her abilities to call upon carnivorous bats and long dead spirits to lay to rest all who still pump blood through their veins. She augments her powers through the use of witchcraft, and she is able to make opponents gape in fear, losing the focus needed to cast spells. She is devoted to death in all it's aspects, and would see all turned to ash.

Sounds pretty terrifying, uh?

-Skills-

Carrion Swarm

Ability Type: Active
Targeting Type: Point
Ability Hotkey: R

Sends a horde of bats to damage enemies.

This your farming skill number one! Only 2 of these will destroy a creeps wave on lvl 4! With witchcraft this skill has a cd of !5! seconds and a damn spammable aoe 300 dmg nuke! Great for harassing early game!


Silence

Ability Type: Active
Targeting Type: Area
Ability Hotkey: E

Stops all enemies in a target area from casting spells.

I believe I don't need to say a lot about aoe silences...but they are the shit



Witchcraft

Ability Type: Passive
Targeting Type: N/A
Ability Hotkey: C

Increases the potency of each of Krobelus' spells

This ability is making the witch much stronger tha it appears at first! This skill decreases mana costs AND cd for carrion swarm and silence and increases the deadly potential of the ultimate! Just amazing, how this can actually change everything, when your carrion swarm has a cd of 5 and not 9 seconds.....



Exorcism

Ability Type: Active
Targeting Type: Instant
Ability Hotkey: X

Unleashes evil spirits to attack your enemies.

This skill is a devastating ultimate. No channeling, just an instant 30 second passive that destroys everything around you while you still cast spells and hunt down or escape from enemy heroes! How often did some enemy try to catch up to Krobelus while this was on and suddenly he was the only target for the ghosts and gets eaten away and killed by a carrion swarm just when he realized his mistake ;D In addition this skill makes killing towers a piece of cake!

-Skill build justification-

Taking the ultimate everytime available is just obvious. Since Carrion is your main skill you should skill it whenever available. Silence can be taken early, when you need it, because there are a lot of spellcasters. If not, Witchcraft is your choice, because it signifcantly improves your ultimate and your carrion swarm. In the end it is just your choice when to take stats and when to take silence...if you need long silences then just skill it first. if not skill it once and then stats...that is up to your playstyle. Why am I not taking stats early on , when he is so fragile? Because it is actually not necessary. You will level so fast and get so much gold, that survivablity is not a big deal after some items!
