Mirana

Mirana, the Princess of the Moon, is a ranged Agility Hero that uses her abilities to surprise, chase, and assault enemies. She is an excellent huntress and widely known for her Sacred Arrow which stuns her victim with deadly precision. The arrow stuns longer when its fired from a farther distance. Mirana can bring down the stars with Starstorm to damage nearby enemies and an additional star to cast down on her one unfortunate target. Mounting with her trusted tiger Sagan, Mirana can Leap forward over a distance, to escape or chase, and enhancing her allies with a roar, increasing their attack and movement speed. Invoking the power of her moon goddess, Mirana uses her ultimate, Moonlight Shadow to cloak all allied heroes and herself with invisibility. At any time, Mirana and her allies can break out of their hiding with an ambush and fade into the shadows again during the duration of the spell. With an array of mighty and supportive abilities, Mirana is a versatile heroine that can excel early in the game as a mobile ganker. She is not very heavily reliant on luxury items but she can benefit from almost any item that gives her presence in the battlefield.

Tips

 * is useful both as an escape ability for yourself and/or the team, and as a way to set up a gank.
 * As a strong semi-carry, is quite special - she doesn't really need farm early-mid game, thus making her a threat at that stage as a ganker. She is able to farm up items quite quickly by using  to clear creep waves as well.
 * When deciding to level up or  consider the damage scaling (Arrow's stun duration does not scale with levels).   damage increases 90 per level while  increases 75 per level.  However, when you consider the second star hit from, the damage scales 131.25 per level.
 * The movement/attack speed bonus from is quite significant, more than an activated . Position this correctly during teamfights to buff all your allies with it.
 * Even a level 1 can give a large stun if far away enough. Hiding in the jungle at level 1 and hitting an arrow can secure an easy first blood if laning with a good partner.
 * Don't forget to move towards the enemy hero while your  is flying, this way you can use the most of the stun duration after you  to catch up the enemy target.
 * Ask your teammates to retreat to the fog of war when you going to use, as during the fade time the enemies can see the moon icon, which indicates that your ultimate has been activated.
