Faceless Void

Darkterror the Faceless Void is a melee agility hard carry hero. Given a little time, he becomes a terrifyingly powerful hero capable of destroying entire enemy teams.

Wielding his cosmically powered mace, each hit can lock his foes in time, stopping them in place. He can jump into or out of combat using Time Walk, and passively can avoid any damage with Backtrack which even works against Monkey King Bar. His ultimate, Chronosphere, locks time for everything within its area of effect, giving him time to strike down any enemies caught within with near impunity for several seconds. Faceless Void is a hard carry and, as such, scales heavily from items and reaches his full potential in late game, growing into one of the most powerful and destructive Heroes. Faceless needs positioning and prioritization and so is recommended for New to Intermediate players.

Tips

 * Mask of Madness will allow Faceless Void to better utilize Chronosphere throughout game, as does almost any item that gives attack speed or damage. A BKB is usually a good choice after getting a MoM as nukers outside the chronosphere can be ignored, while they otherwise burst the fragile Void very easily.
 * When using Chronosphere it's important that you prioritize the targets to deal maximum damage. Important targets include carries and spellcasters.
 * If you want to play your lane aggressively rank up Time Lock first, conversely if you need to play defensively rank up Backtrack after getting at least one rank of Time Walk as it is still your primary escape mechanism, while also having some offensive potential.
 * Chronosphere will pause friendly units (exception : units under control of Faceless Void) and heroes as well as foes. Try to position it so enemies are within the sphere and allies are outside and can reach enemies inside without having to enter Chronosphere itself.
 * Using later ranks of Time Walk and Chronosphere in tandem can easily catch entire enemy teams off guard.
 * Although Faceless Void is a hard carry hero, he is extremely supportive when using his Chronosphere as it has the potential to trap the entire enemy team in place for many seconds, allowing easy use of several ranged ultimates altogether for massive damage. Example: Lich, Jakiro, Witch doctor ultimates.

Trivia

 * In DotA, Faceless Void's alternate/fun name is Gorzerk.
 * Chronosphere is able to pause units under the effect of Invoker's Tornado.
