Tips

 * The Necronomicon can easily feed the enemy, so team be sure to have disables to protect them.
 * Good items in combination are:
 * Assault Cuirass for the 30 attack speed aura, the Necronomicos have the lowest base attack time if the game so they benefit from it a lot. And also the aura armor double their physical resistance and armor reduction on enemies around.
 * Rod of Atos, Diffusal Blade's active or Hex for the movement slow, it will allow the Necronomicon to hit more often and burn more mana. You can also get a Eye of Skadi or Shiva's Guard to slow them but the range is reduced.
 * Vladimir's Offering will give lifesteal, 4 bonus armor and 15 % bonus damage.
 * Guardian Greaves or Mekansm to heal your Necronomicon, allies and yourself.
 * A Bloodthorn for the critical strike, True Strike and the silence applied on your target making it unable to use his abilites while burning down his remaining mana.
 * Solar Crest's active to reduce the armor of your enemy and apply blind. You can also get a Desolator.
 * An Octarine Core will allow to cast the Necronomicons more often to be sure to have them in every fight.
