Clinkz

Clinkz, the Bone Fletcher is a ranged agility carry specializing in ambushing lone Heroes with high physical damage and incredible speed. Though frail and easy to kill, Skeleton Walk grants Clinkz stealth and haste to escape and re-position himself. This skill is also what makes Clinkz such an incredible ganker. This assassin is also equipped with Strafe boosting his attack speed to insane levels for a short time. Searing Arrows provide huge bonus damage, greatly injuring enemies in conjunction with Strafe. To aid his assault, Clinkz can form a Death Pact and absorb a creature's life for greater damage and health, making him not only able to take more hits, but hit harder as well.

Tips

 * While he can be an excellent ganker, Clinkz is extremely fragile and puts out huge amounts of DPS, making him a priority target in teamfights. Try to let your teammates start things off while you dance around the edge of the fight dealing damage to distracted or disabled opponents.
 * You can use orb-walking with to harass your opponents. Be wary of the moderate mana cost, however.
 * Use a good amount of time before you expect to ambush an enemy, or appear in a fight. This allows you to use  again soon after, either for a quick escape or to chase down any survivors.
 * In most cases, max out first for the reliable damage increase.
 * If you are ganking a lot with Clinkz, take as your second ability to max as the decreased cooldown makes you a great threat. If you are playing as the team's lategame carry, maxing  keeps you safe and able to move quickly into untaken lanes and the jungle to farm.
