Enchantress/Guide

Offlane
Maxing Untouchable allows Enchantress to survive in the offlane since it lowers attack speed of enemies. She then has the choice to invest in Nature's Attendant to heal or Enchant to slow. She can also grab a neutral creep from the nearby large camp to pressure her opponents with harass or threaten to take tower. Then, she may consider to transition into a carry.

Jungle
Maxing Enchant allows Enchantress to jungle faster with more creeps. She can then use them with to gank other lanes, usually mid. Later on, she should help push with her army and aura items like.

General

 * Enchantress is effective at all stages of the game.
 * Building is a very good choice on Enchantress; as aside from the intelligence it gives her it can be used to put some distance between her and her enemy (thus empowering Impetus); or even if very well-timed to use it on Impetus's target while Impetus itself is mid-air; thus hugely increasing its damage. Note however that this will make escaping easier for the enemy if your powerful Impetus does not kill them.

 * Toggle Impetus on as you push target away with for rapid and painful pure damage attacks.
 * Impetus calculates the damage with the distance between you and target when the projectile hit; so, after throwing Impetus, you can turn and run farther away from the target as an attempt to increase the distance and damage to finish off the low HP hero.
