Shadow Fiend

Shadow Fiend is a ranged carry hero with skills capable of causing extreme burst damage at varying ranges. He can sometimes be found in the jungle to draw power from kills using Necromastery which can be used in conjunction with his ultimate.

Basic Strategy

 * Shadow Blade and Blink Dagger are sometimes built to help position your Ultimate.
 * Shadow Raze and Necromastery should be maxed before skilling Requiem, as the first one is your main nuke and Requiem doesnt do much damage without full souls.
 * While laning, try to use Shadow Raze to harass your opponent as well as kill creeps.
 * If you get killed, you can easily restore your souls by razing jungle creep camps or razing lane creeps.
 * Always fill up your souls as soon as possible and avoid dying by all means.
 * In team fights, after you get Dagger, let someone else initiate and blink in and Requiem when the enemies are crumpled up.

Trivia

 * Shadow Fiend's alternate/fun name in Dota Allstars was "YaphetS", name of a professional Dota player and a legendary user of Nevermore.
