Weaver

Skitskurr the Weaver is a ranged agility hero, who isn't capable of being in the center of a battle, but can really annoy and harass his enemies in the lane. Weaver is a difficult hero to kill due to his low-cooldown Shukuchi ability which grants him invisibility and movement speed, and his Ultimate, Time Lapse, which allows him to recover completely from a large amount of damage dealt to him. Weaver is a carry who can surprise wounded foes running away from the battle, hunt them down and disappear, avoiding the focus of the enemy team.

Recommended items
{{Recommendeditems Early-game items: Core items: Situational items:
 * explanation =
 * Magic Stick gives health and mana in a pinch, useful for playing aggressive or survivability in the laning phase.
 * Boots of Speed give a decent speed boost so Weaver can be a bit faster when he isn't in Shukuchi.
 * Ring of Aquila is a cost effective stat boosting item that also helps with mana regen so that Shukuchi can be used more often.
 * Magic Stick progresses into Magic Wand, offering extra attributes and charge capacity.
 * Power Treads give Weaver some extra health and attack speed.
 * Linken's Sphere gives extra health and blocks spells. Combined with Time Lapse and Shukuchi, this makes Weaver extremely hard to kill.
 * Radiance gives lots of damage, which goes well with Geminate Attack. Additionally, the Radiance burn allows Weaver to deal additional damage while invisible.
 * Monkey King Bar grants lots of bonus damage, which Weaver makes use of with Geminate Attack.
 * Butterfly provides damage, armor, attack speed, and evasion, making Weaver harder to kill and more damaging.
 * Desolator although not mentioned in his suggested items, gives excellent damage and an armor reduction debuff that synergizes with The Swarm.

Tips

 * While in Shukuchi, position yourself to use your Geminate Attack as soon as Shukuchi ends.
 * You can use Time Lapse to get back into the fight immediately after your death (by quick buyback). This is however risky manouver, as most likely, you won't be at full HP. Consider using this trick when you got nuked by a strong ultimate (like Lion's - Finger of Death, or Lina's - Laguna Blade). Using Shukuchi after Time Lapse will also improve your survivability (if your HP is not full).
 * Manta style provides a reliable means of removing silence, dust, or other status debuffs.

Trivia

 * Weaver's original title was Nerubian Weaver, and his original name was Anub'seran. Nerubians are a race of arachnids in the Warcraft universe.
 * Weaver's fun name in DotA was Anoob'seran.
 * Geminate Attack is frequently misread as Germinate Attack. To geminate is to double, coming from the Latin word for twin (as in Gemini).
 * Shukuchi is a japanese term for rapid movement, or teleportation.
 * Weaver draws many inspirations from a character of the same name in the novel Perdido Street Station.
 * Weaver's Time Lapse icon may be a reference to the box art of the movie "Aliens 3", considering that Sigourney Weaver has the lead role in the film.
