Puck/Guide

General
* More tips needed.
 * Puck often plays in the middle lane, but can also play a solo lane against multiple opponents due to its slippery nature.
 * As a mid hero, Puck has easy access to runes with Illusory Orb, and can gank the side lanes with Dream Coil.
 * With, Puck becomes a capable, albeit fragile, initiator.
 * Puck deals significant magical damage in the early game with Illusory Orb and Waning Rift.
 * Puck's abilities, as well as its tendency to buy items with active abilities, makes it a busy multitasker in teamfights. Knowing when to use which ability/item is key to playing well.
 * A good initiation combo starts with, then Waning Rift, then Dream Coil, then Illusory Orb through as many enemies as possible but in a safe direction, Phase Shift to hide, then Ethereal Jaunt to teleport to the Orb.
 * Waning Rift's silence is long enough to execute this combination.
 * To escape, use Illusory Orb then Phase Shift right after, then use Ethereal Jaunt to teleport to the orb.
 * Puck is a very versatile hero, and builds can vary depending on the game. For example you sometimes want to build nuke items if the enemy team consists of squishy heroes.


 * Use Illusory Orb in lane to harass opponents, or to get a few extra last hits.
 * After using Illusory Orb, move in the opposite direction to present enemies with a dilemma, forcing them to choose one direction, while Puck escapes by choosing whether or not to Ethereal Jaunt.
 * If Puck uses Illusory Orb just before dying, it can buy back instantly and return to the fight with Ethereal Jaunt.
 * Puck can travel quickly with Illusory Orb because the orb moves faster than Puck, and can fly over cliffs and trees.
 * Illusory Orb can function as Puck's initiation tool before he has a.
 * Puck often relies on Illusory Orb for survival, only use it to farm when it is safe, or use it to finish off the wave and jaunt away.
 * More tips needed.


 * When initiating, use Waning Rift right after jumping in with so enemies cannot disable Puck before it uses Dream Coil.
 * If Phase Shift is on cooldown, use Waning Rift to silence enemies, giving Puck's escape mechanisms more time to come off cooldown without being disabled.
 * More tips needed.


 * During the early game, use Phase Shift to avoid attacks from towers and enemy units.
 * Puck can harass the enemy heroes with attacks, then use Phase Shift to avoid taking damage from creeps by removing creep aggro.
 * Use Phase Shift right after Illusory Orb to hide until the orb has travelled far enough to jaunt to.
 * Level 4 Phase Shift's duration is long enough to wait out 's damage cooldown, allowing Puck to escape from many dangerous situations.
 * Puck must still turn in the direction it is blinking towards. Though, Puck's turn rate is among the lowest of all heroes.
 * However, doing so makes Puck vulnerable to instant disables like hex, so Puck should face its desired direction before using Phase Shift to increase its chance of escaping.
 * With fast enough reaction time, Phase Shift may help Puck dodge an incoming initiation, allowing it to counter-initiate with Waning Rift and Dream Coil.
 * Max level Phase Shift toghether with an arcane rune allows Puck to be essentially invincible, giving 100% uptime to Phase Shift. This can be used to make very aggresive plays and get out safely.
 * More tips needed.


 * Use Dream Coil's leash to interrupt and prevent enemies from escaping with teleport abilities or items, like Town Portal Scroll.
 * Dream Coil will catch enemies who are not in vision.
 * Try to catch enemies at the edge of Dream Coil's cast radius, making it more likely that they will break the coil and be stunned.
 * Dream Coil's relatively low cooldown means Puck can use it on high value single targets, such as an enemy carry.
 * Level 25 Rapid Fire works just slightly within Puck's attack range, around 540 aoe (Puck's attack range is 550). Having a  or  will increase this range.
 * Puck will still rapid fire even it is stunned, hexed, being in ethereal form, shackled, disarmed, and even dead.
 * Rapid fire also works when Puck is activating Phase Shift. While going into a team fight with Illusory Orb and capturing enemies inside this coil, save Puck for the next 3.25 seconds with Phase Shift and Blink away. It will rapid fire all enemy in range and leave Puck unharmed.
 * Also works with attack modifiers such as, , , , , and lifesteal items.
 * Having at least a will keep Puck alive in the team fight since it heals Puck by the number of enemies coiled.
 * While rapid firing all enemies, activating will break all enemies in the coil upon the next rapid fire attack.
 * Having a or  may not work well since chance of stunning enemies is only 10% for Puck.
