1. Story

~Back to Table of Contents

A former member of the Order of the Silver Hand, Purist has joined the Sentinel to avenge the death of the Order's leader, Uther the Lightbringer. Trained by Uther himself in the ways of the Paladin, Purist brings the power of the Holy Light to the battlefield. He can purify the souls of allies, harming any nearby Scourge in the process. Able to protect allies from harmful unholy magic, the mere presence of a man of the Holy Light atrophies any nearby enemies. In times of dire need, Purist can call upon God himself to protect him and his allies.

4. Skill Usage

~Back to Table of Contents

Purification
Your healing spell and nuke (your enemy has to be near the unit that gets healed to be damaged by this). With an Arcane Ring you can use this to farm.

Repel
Your own free BKB, Repel can make a unit immune to spells for up to 20 secs at level 4. You should use this on your carry or on your channeling team mate. You can also remove buffs from enemys (DD,Sprint,etc) or debuffs from team mates. Can be removed by purge.

Degen Aura
Aoe slow skill, useful when you are ganking or getting ganked. Stacks with other slows.

Guardian Angel
This skill makes your team immune to physical damage for 5/6/7 secs. Use this to save your allys or yourself, but mainly in team fights (don't use it at the start of the team fight but after a few secs, so the enemy won't back off when they see the animation). Can be removed by purge.

Maxing Purification and Degen Aura with one early level of Repel is the clasic build, but if you are facing a disable/nukes heavy lineup you can max Repel second. Also you can skip the second level of ulti until level 15 if you feel the extra second is not needed.

6. Item Build

~Back to Table of Contents

Starting Items

If you don't have to buy the chicken/wards buy some stats - GG branches, Gauntlets of Strenght or maybe Ring of Protection.

CORE

Boots of choice are BoT, but if you think you can't afford it or for any reason you don't want to buy it, go ahead and make Phase Boots. Arcane Ring is core in competitive dota as well as in pubs, you consume a lot of mana and Arcane gives you just that. Necrobook is good combined with your aura, you can use the little minions to dps, push, counter invis heroes, clear wards and even scout.

LUXURY

HoT is there to tank you up and it also provides some damage and Shiva helps you with a nice AOE slow that also reduces your opponents atack speed while dealing some minor damage.

EXTRA/SITUATIONAL ITEMS

Always carry one with you until you get your BoT.

7. Strategy

~Back to Table of Contents

Early Game

Starting: You will probably buy chicken and/or wards and head to your lane(don't go solo).
Laning: Now, your job is to keep your lane mate alive while helping him net some kills if the situation allows it.Try denying and keep the last hiting to the minimum, also if you can pull - go ahead and do it. If your lane partner is dead or simply not there, move fast and get some farm.
Getting ganked: Most people know that Omni is hard to take down (if they don't, lucky you) so they will focus your ally. If you think he will die fast, heal him instantly and repel him. If you can, try healing your ally when an enemy is clouse to him. Use repel to remove debuffs.
Killing: You got 1 nuke, your aura and your hammer .. use them wisely.

Mid Game

Farming: If you haven't done so yet, get your Arcane Ring. If your team doesn't need you go kill some creeps, Purification deals pure damage and kills the ranged creep from one cast, try getting as many golds per cast as possible. Aim for whatever item helps your team the most and always remember to ward. Never steal the farm from your carry and you should be fine.
Team Fights: Mid game team fights and pushes start taking place more often. Your role is to Repel the carry or the hero that has a big ass channeling ultimate and needs your help (Enigma, SK, etc). Use Repel early cause it has a big cooldown, remember to use Guardian Angel only after the fight started or when your team is retreating. Also remember summoning ur necros and ofc using your heal.
Pushing: Purification is quite a good tool for creep clearing so use it. When pushing towers you can afford tanking the creeps/tower cause you got your heal, be careful though.
Arcane Ring: Use it right after casting a spell and whenever you (or one of your allys) lack mana.
