Silencer

Silencer also known as Nortrom is a fragile but powerful and mighty anti-caster hero who is played as a support or as a semi-carry. He is effective against Heroes who rely mostly on their spells to overwhelm an enemy. A well-farmed Silencer on the enemy team is a major threat as he can stop enemy spellcasters to use their spells instantly, steals Intelligence and add it to his own, and can be a potential carry. Nortrom relies on his physical attacks enhanced by magic to take down his foe and silenced them to death, draining their Intelligence and empowering him.

Basic Strategy

 * The large radius on Curse of the Silent makes him a very strong harasser.
 * Curse of the Silent is great against heroes like Tiny or Pudge that requires a lot of mana to cast very early on.
 * Silencer can be considered a counter-initiate hero, because of his high disruption with Last Word and Global Silence. Use this knowledge to completely cripple enemies to do anything to your team.
 * Against heroes that have low mana cost abilities, it's best to let them cast first before you cast Curse of the Silent, as it is your main source of damage early game.
