[Daily Hero tl;dr #21] Faceless Void

Faceless Void has been used a lot in the recent comptitive scene (in Dota2). Not sure how much longer this will last, many carries still need to be put in, but I'm sure he's enjoying the action.

TL;DR -

• Skills - Get a level of Time Walk at 1, then max Backtrack / Time Lock, grab Chronosphere at 6,11,16
• Items (lane) - regen, stats, stout shield (into PMS)
• Items (early) - Treads, Mask of Madness, Battlefury
• Items (later) - Manta, Butterfly, Heart
• Tips - Land Chrono's wisely, Time Walk (while chasing) past enemy hero, believe in the bash
• Counters - disables, destroy early

I'll go straight into my skill build, because this one looks a bit different than the other guides. I like to grab Time Walk at 1 for escaping purposes, but you don't really need much more of it until later. So then you have to decide between your passives, and it's a question of if you want to rely on luck for surviving or killing. Backtrack if you're having issues in lane and just want to farm, Time Lock if you're being aggressive and don't have to worry about much.

This is another guide for an agility carry, so there's not much more besides farm up some items (MoM BFury) and start killing everything. If you farmed quick enough, start forcing team fights as soon as you're useful. Chronosphere is a game changing spell if you land it well. Just be cautious, it pauses EVERYTHING except you, including towers and teammates. Use it to initiate fights to allow your team to get into a good position.

Basically, believe in the bash. You have to believe hard enough or you will never evade or stun.
