Phantom Assassin

Mortred the Phantom Assassin is a melee agility Hero fitting the role of carry. She is most famous for her capability of dealing supremely outrageous damage, even to the point of hitting some enemy Heroes with one fell swoop and killing them. What makes her a great Hero, however, is her perfect ability build. Even as a super farm-dependent melee Hero, she can still relatively farm creeps at ease using her Stifling Dagger for last hitting. Not only does that eliminate the weakness most melee Heroes have, but it also saves her gold from buying important melee carry items like Quelling Blade. Her second ability complements as both her escape and initiate, while Blur gives her an edge against other Heroes that depend on their physical attacks by evading them. Her ultimate however is what connected Phantom Assassin with four digit integers. If the chance strikes, she can hit her opponents like a bullet train, completely obliterating them in seconds.

She is recommended for intermediate players.

Tips

 * Stifling Dagger has multiple uses. Early in game it should be taken fast, as it allows you to last hit creeps even if they are far from you and later on allows you to slow enemies at a great range. Avoid using it as a harrass tool in the laning phase, as you'll be losing a good amount of CS and it won't deal enough damage to ward off your enemy. You should use it on enemy heroes when the enemy backs up and attempts to use items such as Clarity and Healing Salve to break their effects.
 * Phantom Strike can target allies and enemies. Jumping to a friendly unit can be useful if Mortred needs to escape.
