Strygwyrs role is to get the last hit, his dicipline should be reserved for helping the team when in crisis, spend your actions on assuring your kill, but don't take too much gold if your team mates aren't acquiring enough power to win.

Early on having a Poor Mans' Shield, Bottle, or mix of stats items can help him get an early advantage over the enemies. Buying a ring of regen and a stout shield can give you powerful early lane courage, and a Quelling Blade and regeneration items can make you a strategical last hit character.

The Blood Seeker does not always need boots, but items that give him increased movement speed benefit him the most. Yasha and Euls have vital essences you need to win, but Agility treads can benefit him greatly in addition.

While leveling up Blood Seeker may desire a Hand of Midas, particuraly in the jungle, and basic items like Helm of Iron Will and Quarter Staff which can be transmuted into Defensive Regenerative items like Hood of Defiance or Helm of the Dominator, or Orchid Manevolence and Butterfly.

Cooldown decreases as duration increases, resulting in overlapping silence, in many cases Blood Rage an Enemy or Ally first and buff your self when you are ready to go for the kill.

Blood Bath, a passive rewards you for last hitting Units by regenerating Blood Seekers life force. Gain points when beneficial, avoid putting useless points into maximizing Blood Bath too soon.

Stygwyr's Thirst, the second passive, gives vision of enemies below 40% HP in an improving area around him, as well as bonus movement speed and attack speed. Like Blood Bath, only invest as much into it as is beneficial. Otherwise opt for stats.

It is possible to take Bloodrage too far as well, inspect the enemy well to judge how much you should value increasing points into his abilities.

Rupture is his fancy nuclear ability that punishes an enemy for moving. Know how your enemy is going to react.
