Early Game:
Early game.....lets see...for early game, first, you must chose a lane. For me, I usually choose middle lane so that I can easily spawn watchers and support allies by coming out of the rune areas invisible and attacking and sometimes if lucky, killing.
Beginning Items.







Just so you don't get confused, by the picture above, what I am saying is that, you should at least have these items by about levels 1-8 so don't think I mean rite away at level 1 :P. You should at least have a Bracer for your health issue, and a Wraith Band for a little damage boost in early game. Empty bottle is useful because you have watchers that are patrolling nearby the rune spawning locations, so with this, you can capture runes, and use it in replacement of a healing salve. The Stout Shield, I put because your first item should be Vanguard, so just to get a head start, get a stout shield. And the Town Portal is just for supporting your team and saving towers. Boots of Speed, is to boost movement speed for escapes/chases.



Weaver PROS

-decent movement speed
-nice early game harassing
-fast spell cool downs
-excellent farming (especially last hitting, always have your fingers on "alt" key)
-fast escaping/chasing
-VERY ANNOYING

Weaver CONS
-weak early game (in HP)
-if early farming sucks, his whole game is screwed up
-pretty useless when silenced

WEAVER HATES...

ANY hero that can do the slightest silence...



and also any item that can silence...



and any hero that can stun or stop for a fairly long period of time (enough to kill, otherwise, no threat)...







you should only fear them in early game, so don't worry, in late game, most of these guys will be wimps compared to you.

WEAVER LOVES...

The following...


Omniknight - heals you, protects you, makes you untouchable with spells, what more can you ask for?

Anti-Mage - takes out the mana of your opponents, now just rush in and fight! There's nothing to fear now!

Nerubian Assasin - takes out mana of your opponents AND stuns, even better!!!

Warlock - he will heal you, he will help you kill, together, the two of you just DOMINATE!

Bone Fletcher - you and him are weak in early, but together, OMG!

Phantom Assassin - he will slow down the enemy and blink to him attacking, but he too is weak in early game, the enemy will simply attack back, this is where you come in, backstab him and GANG BANG together! :P

Tormented Soul - early game super harasser, but the problem is...no finishing...YOU ARE THE FINISHING!




Get a few kills in early game. Avoid first blood.
Middle Game:
After a tough early game, now its a laid back, mid game.
Start to think late game, start your buildup, the first one you saw in the beginning of the guide. Start buying the minor items that fits the recipes of the final items. It should start to look a little like this.








This is bout level 14-17, if you can't get that by then, you are officially a noob.

--- Analysis ---


Why radiance?
THIS IS WHY.
Radiance will, believe it or not, pretty much make you *near* "imba". It is like having a 5th level to your spells. IT WILL BE LIKE UPGRADING YOUR SPELLS!
Shukuchi - this spell makes you run so fast that you turn invisible right? And as you pass through your enemies, it deals damage right? But the bad thing is, its only a little over 100 damage, so everyone just losses a minor part of their health. But radiance makes it so that wave deals at least 100 extra damage every time he uses Shukuchi. You just need to rush radiance right after vanguard depending on how you are doing, if you died a lot, vanguard first, if not, radiance first, either way, radiance should be either the first or second item rushed.
Genimite Attack - this will cause him to attack twice every 2.5 seconds and radiance just makes it a whole lot stronger, with radiance, the two spells are officially level "5" although the max is three. :P. RADIANCE = AWESOME.


Just promise me you get the radiance as soon as possible. With it, it is like a stepping stone to the late game, it willenhance your gameplay and you will farm like you never farmed before, you can get the last hit of every single creep with no effort at all! You probably won't even need to hold down the alt key anymore, and I'm not over-saying it, but it is true. IT WILL BE DAMN EASY TO FARM TO THE POINT WHERE YOU WANT TO JUST LAUGH!!

*MUST DO
USE SHUKUCHI WHEN EVER THERE IS A HERO NEARBY, HARASS HIM LIKE HELL! USE SHUKUCHI WHEN EVER IT IS READY! BUT DON'T USE IT ON CREEPS BECAUSE YOU CAN JUST HAVE RADIANCE AND GENIMITE ATTACK TO FARM, BUT WHEN HEROES ARE THERE, PLEASE USE IT!!

Mid game in a nut shell
1 - get radiance/vanguard
2 - farm like crazy for your awesome late game final item build
3 - help kill enemy heroes (you can't kill by yourself yet)
4 - get prepared for your late game (which is going to be damn fun)






Late Game:

FINALY! The late game has begun! Time for some kills baby! With your super awesome KILLER item build.

I expect you to get these by levels 19-25 because your farmed like crazy remember?








I wish I can show real proof, but I don't know how to make screen shots! I tried taking picture with camera, but it wont show properly, but believe me, I have achieved this item build many times, and it works!
This is how...
I already explained the reason for the items in the beginning. So now, i'll just tell you how they are in action!
1 - Locate a enemy/victim on your mini map
2 - Find a hiding spot near them (tree/cliff)
3 - Attack him from the back, he will probably attack back, but thanks to evasion and vangaurd, it won't hurt you too badly, but your damage is crazy so he should get really damaged
4 - If he can get you to yellow, just shukuchi and run away and Bot to the next enemy hero and see if you can pick on him
5 - Go behind and attack, if you are lucky, you can just kill him with normal damage or get him really low
6 - The enemy will try to escape
7 - Shuckuchi, go in front of where he is going, attack...
8 - DAMN EASY KILLS!! And the best part is, I'M NOT KIDDING!! ITS TRUE!! IT CAN GET THAT EASY!!!



ENJOY!!

Conclusion:
At the end of the game, even if you didn't win, you should at least get 3rd place on the score board. And if you do, I hope it was thanks to this strategy.

And thanks to the one and only....

Freaking awesome item...last thing I'm going to say. Freaking awesome item....

Freaking awesome hero...last thing I'm going to say. Freaking awesome hero...

NOTE : When in mid and late game, as soon as your Shukuchi is ready, just use it! You will have enough mana regain to support, just use it as much as you can! Same with Time Lapse! 0 mana cost dude!! ENJOY!!
