learn from the pro


INTRODUCTION
Hey guys! this is my first guide, BUT NOT my first time to play Icarus. I would gladly listen to all of your recommendations and comments, so please give some feedbacks about my guide and rate it.
Icarus is one of the imba heroes in DotA along with Tuskar, with its godlike skill sets, it can first blood and double kill at level 3, WITH the proper skill sets. The only down part is it is very hard to use, needing proper timing and accuracy. no problem with that for here I will teach you how to use Icarus, professionally.

BACKGROUND STORY

[COLOR="rgb(0, 191, 255)"]Ancient scriptures spoke of seven sacred emanations of light, and of their convergence in great conflict. The collision of these rays upon the mortal realm created a pyre of the highest purity, giving birth to the mythical Phoenix. As a manifestation of divine flames, Icarus can discharge either flames of death and destruction, or of life and healing. The concentrated beam of energy that he can emit can incinerate whole armies from across the battlefield. Unafraid to utilize his own life-force in order to vanquish his enemies, Icarus can also harness the direct power of the sun to create a stellar explosion.[/COLOR]

Five pros and five cons. you can build items to counter your cons, as well as your enemy can build items to counter your pros.

The worst part is your last cons, which is ;
