Weaver game strategy in Dota2

Weaver

If you are dying to much with Weaver or not farming enough to sustain a decent amount of gold income. This post is for you !

Weaver is one of he easier carries in Dota due to his two escape spells Shukuchi and Time Lapse of which both are fairly easy to use when you are in situations that requires some form skill. If you are new to Dota and you want to play a hero where you don't die to much and do lots of damage, pick Weaver.

§   Weaver's ultimate, Time Lapse, this spell lets you virtually move five seconds back in time resetting your health and mana points but doesn't effect your gold. You can use this spell either to escape the enemy, eg. By fooling your enemy in following you down a path and then activating the spell moving you back to where you were five seconds ago. You can also use the spell to save your life when you are on low on hitpoint and you know that five seconds back you had more than you currently have.

§  Geminate Attack is one of the spells which makes Weaver so unique. It enables you to attack twice in one attack which you can use to harass the opposing hero in your lane or to last hit enemy creeps and get some heavy farming done.

§  Shukuchi is one of the spells Weaver is going to use the most throughout the game. This spell will let you escape, engage and even ambush the enemy heroes. What this spell does is it increases your movement speed to maximum and makes you invisible for four seconds.  It also does damage when you run through a enemy creep or hero.

§  The Swarm. A very nifty spell to use in locating your enemies or to stall enemy creeps when they are pushing a lane to take a tower. What this spell does is it decreases any unit under the effect of it armor by 1 armor point for every second the beetle is on the unit. Making  them easier to kill and letting your team have a higher success rate in winning a team battle.

How you are going to play Weaver.

Farm hard, the easiest way to own in a game with Weaver is to get really expensive items really fast in the game. To make last hits easier, get your Geminate Attack spell and stand really close to the creep you want to last hit. Reason for this is because your double attack will almost be instant  and you will do a lot of damage to last hit the creep.

Be aggressive. Don't be afraid to run in and start attacking enemy heroes. Remember you have a spell which makes you invisible and run super fast. You also have your ultimate Time Lapse which you can use if the enemy heroes decide to fight back and do a little more damage than expected.

Be cautious. Scout out the terrain with you Swarm spell if you are unsure of the whether you can go in and try to kill a hero or if you feel something is not right.

Items you should buy for Weaver.

Linken's Sphere

This will give you some extra health and damage to make you harder to kill and it blocks most negative spells from the enemy (like a stun) every 17 seconds.

Monkey King Bar

This item will make you hit like a truck and the item gives a true shot ability that makes you never miss an attack.

Desolator

This is one of the cheaper items you can get also to hit harder. Usually you should go Desolator if you are playing against heroes with a lot of armor and hitpoints like Alchemist or Bristleback. What Delolator does is it decreases 7 armor for 15 seconds on an attack. So you make anything with armor and hitpoints not have armor and hitpoints.

Radiance

Very nice item to have if you tend to chasing heroes down. Because it does 50 points of magical damage every second in a area of 650 around you. Think about it this way. If you and a enemy hero are fighting for more than 6 seconds and you have radiance. You have done 300 damage to him without even hitting him yet.
