Silencer

Nortrom the Silencer is a fragile but powerful anti-caster ranged intelligence Hero who can be played as a support or carry. He is effective against Heroes who rely mostly on their abilities, as he can silence them while stealing their Intelligence and adding to his own, making him a potential hard carry. Silencer relies on his enhanced physical attacks to take down his foes, and enemies soon fall to their silent peace as the Silencer absorbs their Intelligence, empowering him, until he stands as the most powerful Hero.

Silencer offers a lot of damage while he can potentially disable enemies passively or globally. He does not require any extensive skill to be a strong support and only needs a bit of more to be a good carry. He is recommended for new players.

Tips

 * The large radius on Curse of the Silent makes him a very strong harasser.
 * Curse of the Silent is great against heroes like Tiny or Pudge that requires a lot of mana to cast very early on.
 * Silencer can be considered a counter-initiate hero, because of his high disruption with Last Word and Global Silence. Use this knowledge to completely cripple enemies to do anything to your team.
 * Against heroes that have low mana cost abilities, it's best to let them cast first before you cast Curse of the Silent, as it is your main source of damage early game.
 * Silencer is able to become a powerful carry that can be as strong as hard carries. Kill and last hit creeps for you to farm in order to buy powerful Intelligence items and join in ganks and try ask your allies to finish them off by yourself, he needs Intelligence for him to be strong carry.
