Once a mighty warden and sister of Mortred, the maniacal laughter of her sibling and the chakram of hers covered in her own just drawn blood is a sight that even today still haunts Shendelzare. Hearing the laments of her loyal daughter, Elune decided to not forsake her, and she graced her with a new body along with the ability to harness powers from the nether-world and a fighting spirit only owned by those who have met death itself. Shendelzare now leads the Sentinel's army, fearless of what could come at her, an avatar of the dreadful emotions within the soul of her former self.

Starting Items



Magic Stick and 5x IronWood Brench

or



2x Circlet of nobility, 2xTangos and 1x Potion

...circlet can be changed for 2x gauntlets and left money can be used for more tangos/potions.(still 2 bracers in the end)


Early/Mid Game



Bottle , Magic Wand , Boots(Phase) , 2x Bracer

Mid/End Game (Core Items)

-

Bottle , Magic Wand , Boots(Phase) , Guinsoo Scythe , Aghanim Scepter

Explanation :
Guinsoo Scythe - The best item for vengeful is Guinsoo, it gives the third stun(disable) and a piece of stats with great mana regen for spam stuns and jungle.

Aghanim Scepter - The new Aghanim's on Vengeful Spirit doesn't seem to do too much for really quickly resolved team fights. It's only really nice if your team is mostly intact and the enemies try to flee, in which case you can guarantee the death of an additional enemy hero as your swap has cooled down by now. 10 second cooldown swap, however, is absolutely brutal in ganks, and if the enemies are avoiding team fights for a reasonable amount of time you should go for this item after the guinsoo.

End Game (Luxury Items)

V.How To Play

Early Game

As far as gameplay goes, Vengeful Spirit exists solely to make enemy heroes die. She is a prime choice for a hero to go to one of the rune spots at the start of the game, as a Venge with the proper rune can easily give her mid solo an extra level and 300 extra gold.

A roaming Venge can opt to take a bottle out of the fountain. A venge that wants to spend some time in lanes will most certainly want +stats and consumables instead. Roaming with venge is no hard task: you show up in a lane, stun a hero, have your allies focus him to death, and then repeat. This is only really viable when you have the proper teamwork with said allies.

In-lane, Venge wants to mostly harass, with farming 600 gold quickly for bottle as a second priority. When she has enough mana for two stuns she should always look for a chance to get a kill.

Once she hits level 6, she will get swap. Always swap enemies closer to your allies, keeping in mind any escape routes you might offer them with your swap. Swap them to interrupt their teleports when you don't have mana for missile. Swap a chased ally and then stun the most dangerous target. The skill is extremely versatile, but isn't just a fire-and-forget move, most of the time. Use swap's range to its maximum potential. Swap enemies across the tree line and cliffs.

Mid Game

Now u should have an Ultimate orb and void, u should go ganking and jungle for geting money for Mystic Staff.
When u make Guinsoo, lets have some fun with killing enemies using combo - U, missile, guinsoo, missile - dead...
In ganks, try to use effectively ur ulti and swap enemy to your allys, then gank others.

Pushing/Defending

Use Wave of Terror to weaken creeps/heroes to lessen the threat to your team. Swap a hero from the other team so that your team could take out that hero with ease. If the hero you swapped is killed, you’ve done your job. Here is a short info on using Nether Swap in clashes/team battles.

Who to swap
In clashes/team battles, your main target for Nether Swap should be the carry hero, since the carry is the one who gives great threat to the team come late game. If the carry hero is not available, you can swap the disabler/nuker/support so that your carry would worry less about being disabled/heavily damaged during clashes it may also help the clash end faster.

End Game
Now you may have finished all aura levels, so your ganks will get stronger and after finish wave of Terror, enemy will getting so fast down.

Allies and Enemies

Good Allies

Stunners/Disablers/Slowers
Vengeful is good with these types of heroes as it can help chain disables which is pretty much the best way to dominate a lane. These types of heroes also help Vengeful gank better.

Ezalor and Rylai
Both of these heroes help Vengeful in spamming her Magic Missile at the same it can help in controlling a lane. With Rylai, ganks can be pulled off with ease because of Frostbite and Frost Nova.

Kunkka and Purist
These heroes can help Vengeful in swapping without dying. This mostly happens in ganks but not in team battles, since Kunkka’s XMTS must be used for escaping enemy heroes and Purist’s Repel must be used on the team’s carry.

Armor Reducers
Wave of Terror + Amplify Damage + Weave is very great in ganks and clashes as it lowers the opposing heroes’ armors which makes them easier to kill with DPS.

Bad Enemies

Disablers/Silencers
VS uses skills in ganking and if these heroes are able to disable/silence you first, you won’t be able to be that much useful in a gank and clash. Dealing with Silencers can be as bad as dealing with Blinkers since Silence also affects allies which can make these heroes escape easier.

Mana Burners
In order to pull off an effective gank or a good swap in a clash, she needs mana. Without mana she can’t stun with Magic Missile, she can’t weaken opponents nor can she use Swap to save or kill a hero.

Magina and Akasha
Both heroes have Blinks which can easily counter your swap since they can Blink much further, unless you have already maxed out your Ulti. If you want to gank and kill them easily, you should be with allies who can perma-disable (meaning before they can Blink) them and cast some heavy spells on them. This should be easy if you have a good team.
