Dota 2 - Dark Seer Build Guide

BIO
Fast when he needs to be, and a cunning strategist, Ish'Kafel the Dark Seer requires no edged weapons to vanquish his enemies, relying instead on the strength of his powerful mind. His talent lies in his ability to maneuver the fight to his advantage. Hailing from a place he calls 'The Land behind the wall,' Dark Seer remains an outsider here-a warrior from a realm beyond the veil of this reality.

Once a great general among his people, and a valiant defender of the god-king Damathryx, Dark Seer's army was wiped out by a much larger force in the final days of the Great Boundaries War. Facing certain defeat, he made one last desperate act: he led the enemy forces into the maze between the walls. At the last moment, just before capture, he crossed over-then sealed the walls forever in an explosive release of dark energy. When the dust settled, he saw that he had saved his people but found himself blinking at the sun of a different world, with no way to return. Now he is committed to proving his worth as a military strategist, and vows to show that he's the greatest tactician this strange new world has ever seen.

Why maxed Ion Shell first?  This is your main DPS source, you will need this for farming, ganking and killing on early-mid game.

Why maxed Surge before Vacuum?  For early-mid game, a level 1 Vacuum is enough. And you should maxed Suege to always can escape with maximum movement speed if the enemy wants to gank you. And also Surge should be maxed to be always can cast it for chasing enemies.

STRATEGY
Early Game
Ion Shell is your main source of damage here. You can cast this for allied creep while you are far away from the creeps clashing area and keep getting gold because the damage from the shell is killing enemy creeps. That way is useful when you are doing an offlane solo Dark Seer because you need to be far away from the creep wave to avoid getting ganked and being killed. Or you can csat this to enemy creeps and the shell will do the work, it will damaging the nearest creeps and enemy hero and you will get golds eventually, and also keep harassing your enemy on your lane. Or cast this to your self and start harassing enemy by moving directly to him.

Mid Game
Mid game is the time for ganking. Everybody should start finding enemy hero and start getting as many kills as possible. Ion Shell still be the main source of damage for you here. You need to cast this for yourself and also for the melee hero in your team so if the clash begins you and your melee friend will come near the opponent and the Shell is damaging enemy by a lot.

Remember to cast Surge in 2 conditions
1. You or your allies needs to escape immediately from the enemy. With a maximum movement speed, it will be easier to escape.
2. Your team needs to chase the enemy

Late Game
Late game is the time for a big clash to happens. And you have some nice abilities to be cast on a big clash to make a big combo. Here is the example:
You have the Vacuum and one of your friend is Enigma:
If you have the Blink Dagger, you should use it first to jump into near enemy's wave
1. Cast the Vacuum so all enemies willl be dragged into 1 point in the ground
2. Enigma can immediately cast a powerful Blackhole that catch all enemies in the area
3. Cast the Wall of Replica into the middle of the teamfight so you get enemys replica that will help your team deal as many damage in the teamfight.
4. Your carries can easily damaging the Blackholed eneemies so your team can win the teamfight
That's the method on creating a big combo so your team can achieve a brightful victory.

Dota 2 - Necrolyte Build Guide

BIO
In a time of great plague, an obscure monk of dark inclinations, one Rotund'jere, found himself promoted to the rank of Cardinal by the swift death of all his superiors. While others of the order went out to succor the ill, the newly ordained cardinal secluded himself within the Cathedral of Rumusque, busily scheming to acquire the property of dying nobles, promising them spiritual rewards if they signed over their terrestrial domains. As the plague receded to a few stubborn pockets, his behavior came to the attention of the greater order, which found him guilty of heresy and sentenced him to serve in the plague ward, ensorcelled with spells that would ensure him a slow and lingering illness. But they had not counted on his natural immunity. Rotund'jere caught the pox, but instead of dying, found it feeding his power, transforming him into a veritable plague-mage, a Pope of Pestilence.

Dota 2 - Keeper of The Light Build Guide

BIO
Upon a pale horse he rides, this spark of endless suns, this Keeper of the Light. Ezalor long ago escaped the Fundamental plane, separating from the other ancient forces to which he was bound within the great Primordial harmony. He is a power grown sentient in the dawn of the universe, and now rides forth in all planes at once, one step ahead of pursuing chaos, bearing his gift with him at the end of a radiant staff. His majestic truth lies hidden beneath the outward appearance of a slightly doddering old man who barely stays in the saddle. However, when faced with the challenge of chaos, or the forces of darkness, his primordial light bursts forth, and his full power is revealed, transforming him once again into a force to be reckoned with.

INTRODUCTION

If you use this in teamfights, it will deal tons of damage, but you need the best placement for you to hide from the enemy.
Before the teamfight start, you must predict where the center of the teamfight is,and cast illuminate to that area.

In spirit mode, your spirit is casting this skill, so you can do something else while the spirit is casting this skill. Maybe you can attacking or use another skill.

Why maxed illuminate first? Illuminate is your main nuks. This is what you need for harrassing and destroying creep waves.

Why maxed Chakra Magic before Mana Leak? Chakra magic is very important to spam illuminate and to restore mana for allies. This is important for early game when Ally's mana is still low and need a fast restoration.

Mana leak is skill to harass enemies, and stun him. This is the kind of skill to chase enemy that needed for mid game.

You can use this from the early game to makes enemy always lack of mana.

STRATEGY
Early Game

You have 2 options in early game.

1. The pusher type
You can harass enemies and push quickly using Illuminate all the time. (You can hide in the fog to cast Illuminate secretly) or
2. Lane support type
You can support you partner by denying, creep pulling, or even restore his mana, you can also drain enemy's mana

I believe the stronger one will be the pusher type. With this you can earn gold fast, but this strategy is not recommended for competition where you should give your farms to your carry and you must support him by not killing the creeps. Except if your competitive team's needs to push as quick as possible with your illuminate, then it's ok for the competitive.

On early game always beware of enemy's gank attempt. Your team always needs ward to spot the runed area where ganks may come from.

Mid Game
Your part is to always cast illuminate in every teamfight. Illuminate will deals lots of damage to enemies. This will helps your carry to kill enemies in an already low HP. You should also cast binding light in the middle of teamfight to make opponent to miss their attacks.
 And if one of your friends is still far away from the teamfight area, you should call him to the teamfight area using Recall in your Spirit Form.

Remember to always use Illuminate if your team needs fast pushing. Illuminate is the best skill for destroying creeps waves at pushing.

Late Game
In late game you should already bought some supportive items like mekansm or Schyte of Vyse, or something else to helps the team. Remember your part in teamfight.
You have the same job in every teamfight.

1. If one of your friends is still far away from the teamfight area, you should call him to the teamfight area using the Recall
2. You shouuld also cast binding light before the clash, to make opponent to miss their attacks
3. Cast illuminate into the middle of teamfight that  helps your carry to kill enemies in low HP
4. Use your supportive items, like mekans, Schyte of Vyse, Pipe.

Late game teamfight is the dependant of how the game will ends. If your team can win the teamfight. That means your team will win the game. And don't give enemy's any chance to fight you back.

GOOD ALLIES
1. Magina

He will gain benefit for your skill mana leak that drains opponent's mana, so he can deal more damage with his ultimate.

2. Bloodseeker

He have skill that similar to your skill mana leak, he have rupture that drains enemy's hp if he moves. So if the enemy receive rupture and mana leak together, he then will lose both his HP and mana at the same time and he will be stunned when his mana empty.

3. Carries
(Example: Magine, Void, Luna)

Carries should be thankful for you for your support. After enemy's Hp is low after your illuminate, or after enemy is being stunned after mana leak, or after enemy can't attack because of your binding light. And carries should the right click and use all their skills to  the enemies.
