Puck is a high spell damage hero and frankly very hard to play if you don't know what you are doing. This is why I made this post, to make you know what you are 'doing'
Now if you want to play a proper Puck I suggest first practicing against Unfair Bots. (You can do this at 'Play Against Bots' option near
the 'Find Match' option.) Puck is one of the harder hero's to play in Dota 2
and therefore you need some skill and knowledge and practise before you
will be able to play him in a normal public match and not flush your name down
the toilet. I would say you need to play at least 150 games before you should
try out Puck.
Puck's Spells
Illusory Orb - Puck throws out a magical orb going in one
direction and damaging any unit who comes close to it.
Ethereal Jaunt - Puck teleports to her Illusory Orb.
Waning Rift - Puck lets down an explosion damaging all nearby
units and silencing them for a few seconds.
Phase Shift - Puck exists the battle for a few seconds and
becomes invulnerable.
Dream Coil - Leaches all enemy heroes in the area to a chain and
damaging them. If the enemy hero leaves the area the chain breaks dealing
damage and stuns the enemy hero for a few seconds.
How you are going to use these spells.
Illusory Orb - Illusory Orb is almost like a blink except its
slow and does some amounts of damage. This spell is awesome to use when trying
to escape and even better to use to initiate. Its also a nice ability to spam
the enemy heroes with. Not that high in mana cost and it has a large area that
it effects so you will be able to get a few heroes health down.
Ethereal Jaunt - Once you throw your Illusory Orb and you want
to blink to it click on this spell. It teleports you straight to where your
Illusory Orb was at that time.
Waning Rift - A must use ability when you initiate. Because of
its awesome silence and its damage. Its also very nice to use for farming
creeps, a Illusory Orb and a Waning right together can farm an entire creep
wave.
Phase Shift - One awesome spell to have for escaping your enemy
clutches. Throw your Illusory Orb in the direction you want to go and then
Phase Shift. Once the time is right for you to Ethereal Jaunt to it. Just
hit the hotkey and you are gone. Another thing is that if you are quick enough
with it and you use it right time. You will dodge almost every spell there is
and even normal attacks from towers, hero's and creeps.
Dream Coil - Once you have Initiated with your Illusory Orb and
you have Waning Rifted. Use this ability on the enemy heroes and try to get as
much heroes in as possible. It will paralyse their entire team. Making you win
the team fight.
What you are going to buy for Puck
Power Treads / Arcane Boots
If you are throwing your spells left and right and you don't
have enough mana all the time i suggest going Arcane Boots. If you are not always
low on mana go for Power Treads and put it on strength for making you more
durable in combat.
Blink Dagger
An awesome item to get for puck. Its just another extension to
your escaping and engaging factor. One awesome way to use this is use your
Phase Shift and then Shift + Blink Dagger where you want to go instead of using
your Illusory Orb and saving you some mana.
Aghanhim's Scepter
Upgrading your ultimate. Making it stronger and reducing its
cooldown.
Shiva's Guard
Awesome to use when you initiate. What it does is once you
activate it, it blows out in a radius of 900 a wave dealing 200 damage and
slowing enemy units in it.
Bloodstone
Bloodstone is one awesome item for almost any hero. Every time a
you get an assist or get an kill it adds 2 charges to bloodstone and for each
charge on it, it gives you an additional extra health and mana regeneration and
reduced respawn time. Also it gives you a lot of extra health and mana.
Scythe of Vyse
Adds a lot of extra attributes and enables you to hex a enemy unit.
Meaning you can make an enemy unit a pig or a chicken for 4 seconds and the
unit loses all it effects and buffs for that period of time. This item is
preferably aimed on late game when you have a problem with a single hero and he
is killing your entire team.
