• Stop enemies to save ally with ur model and then tether-out to him.Same with creeps.
• Use tether, then overcharge and bottle on fountain to help your allies regen faster
• Fountain regen and bottle refill lasts for some time after you get out, you can buff allys some hp and mana with tether when you go with relocate or with portal scroll out of the fountain.
• Use tether, overcharge and healing salve when ur carry gets attacked, tanking tower or fighting to buff him AS, resistance and regen.
• Armlet, Blink dagger, Shadow amulet, Force staff, Euls scepter and ghost scepter is very nice survive items.
• Use tether to run away if you get ganked and ur creeps or ally is near.
• You can use tether to destroy trees in some places and provide your jungler shorter way between neutral spawns.
• You can start harrass with spirits from second level of that ability.On first level it have no sence.
• You can run counter-clockwise round creeps with spirits to damage it more. When spirits duration ends - it will damage like when blow on enemies.
• If you have full hp and need to heal carry, better take overcharge on 2 lvl.Cuz u dont regen on full hp, but tether buffs ur regen. Or you can let yourself take some damage.
• Say carry to heal u when u tethered to him if he about to heal himself, cuz that gives him more heal
• If you ganking without Relocate, go back of ur enemies and tether to allies, by that u slow enemies what trap on ur fly way.
• Use tether and instant rightclick, and ulti and instant rightclick on ally, cuz using that abilities stop io
• Dont forget to break tether if your ally about to kill running hero or if you relocated from dangerous zone.
• Take good clever position with yourself relatively to ally before gank with Relocate.You can insta-tether enemies by that.

• Do not forget to tether before meka or arcane use.
• Use timings to double your spirits damage when u ganking w/ Relocate.
• Shadow Amulet invisibility do not breaks by Relocate's return.
• Better take stunner or slower to gank with u.
• You can use spirits to scan area for enemies.Learn how to hit with them good.
• Use ur ulti to finish low hp running enemies if nobody can do it.
• 300ms enemy runs from map centre on mid to area before the fountain area about 25 secs.350ms - about 22.400-about 20.From map corners enemy runs 1.4x longer. Simply remember it ;)
• If you or tethered ally is about to taking high damage burst - turn on overcharge directly before it to apply 20% resist to that burst.

At early game(after level 7 and maxing spirits) you must play as ganker with relocate, to dominate enemy's asses and get gold.MAIN THING IS DOMINATE ENEMIES BEFORE THEY GET FARM SO GO MID. But better gank with teammate, using tether.Read how to gank rightly in "ganker" part and not forget to use ur overcharge and armlet.After your play style is mostly same:you go into teamfight with ulti, doing ur damage and taking with urself back low-hp allys, but sometimes can start fight with no ulti and use ulti for go regen or take some allies into it.If someone of ur team gets ganked - try to save him with ulti and kick they asses!skill build: 1tether-2spirits-3spirits-4overcharge-5spirits-6relocate-7spirits-8overcharge-9overcharge-10overcharge-11relocate and after attributes before 23 lvl.starting items: - makes harrassing and lasthitting easier.core items: - you MUST learn how to abuse it good.with io's additional resistance to all 20% from overcharge and very low hp it is very good and usable survive and damage item(because io's main is strength)+gives good hp regen. - can be used for control over creep, that can give u additional stuns, auras, and tether-out. And of course lifesteal is also good bonus, heals tethered ally. - you are carry, so power treads ofc. you say: what abyssal blade doing in ranged hero guide?it have only 10% chance!but let's face it: it gives F%&KING 110 DAMAGE(100+10 from strength), active stun what goes thru all except linken, good combo with ur ulti, and with armlet and io's overcharge io have good attack speed, and bash proc's like 1 time in a 2-2.5 seconds. Must have.late: - slows, attribute bonus and ms bonus from sange and yasha, but sometimes better buy manta, let me explain why - when u start fight, u can send 1 illusion forward, and when enemy runs away - tether to it:Also it can remove some debuffs. - provide u and tethered ally MEGA FAST hp regen cuz of ur high damage.Must have. - against disables. - against evasion and many channeling spells. - MORE DAMAGE! - viable sometimes. - vs rightclickers. - double abyssal or bkb,not bad +damage,viable sometimes - can be used vs rightclickers[2] for make more simply armlet abusing.Some games:

early game:core gank items:situational/late:use , wait 10 secs until cd is about 2 secs, with someone and use rightly in enemy! Ur 10 spirits grants u 1000 AOE magical damage, dagon 400-800, and all that (except last 2-3 spirits) increases with Ethereal blade for 40%!You must try to use ethereal before damaging enemy with spirits and dagon

starting items:x3x2early game:core items:(ye 2 boots)situational:

healer io is probably most simple thing in dota//хилер висп это наверное самая простая вещь в доте:-buy//купите()-use on carry//используйте на кэрри, включите -let carry go fight//дайте кэрри начать замес.care from splash attacks and aoe spells what can stop ur tarrasque regen//опасайтесь сплеш урона и АОЕ скиллов которые могут сбить ваш реген тарраски.if your carry is not so r*tarded and dont breaks tether what gives him about 120 regen and 70 AS, it makes him really unkillable//если ваш кэрри не настолько дцп чтоб рвать связку дающую ему около 120 регена и 70 аттакспида, это сделает его реально неубиваемым.situational//по ситуации:-against radiance//против радика

if you like active positioning game, save ur allies, want to do something more that mechanically pressing mek and be really helping - that io is yours.core items: - makes easier to slow with tether and hit with spirits, can save u after return - you can hide urself or/and ally, can save u after return.Invisibility stays after Relocate's return. - makes some easier to escape or save ally - more mobility and opportunities. - u can bring ur ally tps.situational: - not bad escape combo with blink dagger , 40 ms, mana regen, disable enemies and cancel TP's only for 2.7k gold - regens u and ally - instant heal - removes buffs/debuffs from u and ally, slow enemies - can save ur ally from phys attacks - good heal - heals too, and u can faster heal ally on respawn - if enemy get many disabling spells like bane's nightmare - sometimes can be usable to save 2 allies or give 2 abyssal and not bad passive bonuses(Note: ur ulti returns u in place from what FIRST ulti casted, if u cast it second before return time) - stats and slow - slow and hp, not so much expensive - help ur ally with stun against enemy with magic immunity

Starting items:Drop couriers on lane, then let they killed, then when its respawn - make couriers run in infinite cycle round ur ancient by cycle-binding it one to another.(min 3 couriers required).Buy midas for boost ur ulti lvlup.Core:Climb on rocks and teleport ur allies on it, or teleport them to their fountain blink out and tp out. Feed with ur allies, pushing them with force staff into groups of enemies. But keep saving it in team fights to troll enemy.If you have money for sentry u can write different words or draw with it.Go solo roshan and cancel a courier :DDD
