Shadow Shaman

Shadow Shaman is a ranged pusher hero, wielding skills that make pushing lanes more efficient. He is also capable of disabling enemy heroes, allowing him to initiate attacks as well.

Basic Strategy

 * Scepter of Divinity is a commonly built item, used in conjunction with Mass Serpent Wards. Catching an enemy hero in a cyclone gives you ample time to place the Serpent Wards around the hero, trapping it. You can then further disable the hero by using Shackles.
 * Shackles is a chanelling spell. Enemy units and heroes can interrupt Rhasta with stuns and disables, when he is holding enemy down. It's better to use it when your target is alone.
 * Always cancel the backswing animation after casting your spells.
 * Rhasta's spells have a very high mana cost. Build up your mana pool and mana regeneration with items or you may find yourself unable to cast anything in critical situations.

Trivia

 * In the transition from DotA to Dota 2, the name of one skill was changed. Hex was named Voodoo.
