PA is a hard-carry and intended to be last-pick hero. She is probably the only hero who actually gets Divine Rapier

PROS:
1.Own noobs mercilessly
2.You finally get the chance to see Divine Rapier at its full potential
3.Is often used to teach newbies how to own

CONS:
1.Completely countered by Blade mail and Ghost Scepter
2.Fragile, dies fast if you get ganked early game

Skill build:
1.Blur
2.Stifling Dagger
3.Stifling Dagger
4.Phantom Strike
5.Stifling Dagger
6.Phantom Strike
7.Stifling Dagger
8.Phantom Strike
9.Phantom Strike
10.Coup de Graçe
11.Coup de Graçe
12.Blur
13.Blur
14.Blur
15.Stat
16.Coup de Graçe
17-25.Stat

or Stat/Phantom Strike if you want some hard-core farming. Both works, it's just that your teammates will probably flame you all game if you do that lol In fact, you may find that stat/phantom strike build actually works better if you have godlike farming skill to compensate for the delayed stifling dagger

Try to make use of your Phantom Strike to escape ganks. Don't forget that you can use Phantom Strike on allies, not only enemies. It just won't deal any damage. If you try to escape from a gank, try to Phantom Strike on an enemy unit that is not surrounded by their allies

Item build:
Starting item


Core build:


Your first priority is staying alive until you finish your core items. You can start owning as soon as you get basher then turn the perse into battlefury. I don't think there's really any strategy in using PA. Use common sense and don't try to engage in too many ganks before you farm your basher.

Note:
1.I tend to stick a PMS and 2 gloves of haste somewhere along the buildup
2.QB doesn't work with any orb.

Luxury:

Stacking this item is fun if your enemy likes to stick or simply for pawning illusions fast. My favourite follow-up item afterwards

Only if you love perma-bashing heroes/when you have to deal with tanky heroes

Yes, it's actually luxury unlike some people who claim it's core. You'll be dealing shitty damage if you rush this item. Don't even tell me there are too many nukers/disablers. You're clearly stupid enough to pick her. Blame yourself

Only get this item if you are already owning or you just love to gamble

This item is a must if you reach extreme lategame for fast pushing

What you can abuse from mechanics
Quote:
The fact that every time you don't proc a Critical hit with your Ult (well, all crit items/skills actually), it increases your chances to get a Crit the next hit by a certain percent (I remember a thread about this, but I can't remember what it was...). So, the "Strat" would be to hit a creep 1 or 2 times (neutral or not), then go gank/roam so you will be more likely to get a Crit hit as your first or second hit; increasing your DPS a little bit more. It might be a little time-consuming, but I think it's a pretty legit way of making sure you get a quick Crit when you are about to gank a hero who is tower hugging or is low.
Additional tips if you get battlefury
Try to position yourself in such a way that you can cleave as many enemy heroes as possible


Final words:
Do not dismiss my build without first trying it, I've tried all the other builds like hotd mkb build & hotd battlefury. It's just that I find hotd basher is much more effective on that stage and basher is a really powerful item on her with that 100% IAS from Phantom Strike. Do not underestimate the BASH, you can pretty much take on anyone 1v1 with it midgame, it makes you less dependent on your teammates
