Faceless Void

Faceless Void is a melee Agility based Hard Carry. Wielding his cosmic powered mace, he can lock his foes in time, stopping them in place. He also can jump into or out of combat using Time Walk, and avoid damage with Backtrack. His ultimate, Chronosphere, stops all other units within its area of effect, giving Void time for his high damage output. Faceless Void is a hard carry and, as such, scales heavily from items and reaches his full potential in the late game, growing into one of the most powerful, elusive, and destructive Heroes. Since he requires a lot of farm and his Ultimate can trouble his team if used improperly, he is recommended for intermediate players.

Basic Strategy

 * Mask of Madness will allow Faceless Void to better utilize Chronosphere throughout game.
 * 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 Walk first, conversely if you need to play defensively rank up Backtrack after getting one rank of Time Walk as it is still your primary escape mechanism.
 * 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.

Trivia

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