Strategy guide for Shadow.Geminus (Shade, Shadow)
1) Starting Talents: Might, Fury, Veteran, Haste, Fitness, Integrity, Swiftness (4-2-1)
2) Order of Ability learning: Max Q first for an area damage burst; next get 1 point in W (vortex) and E (stepping strike) for chasing down enemy heroes; Then max out your stats and of course R is your ult, and needs upping at lvl 6, 11 and 16.
(Q W E Q Q R Q Y Y Y R W E W E R E W)
3) Item Build:
The key to playing Shadow is to get Speed Wpn Damage, Wpn Speed.
Ryuuk's Build:
1) Hunter's Hatchet
2) Duran's Machette
3) Phase Cloak
4) Stun Knife
5) Phase Cloak --> Shinobi
6) Sliptyde Sythe
7) Xenomorphic Cleaver
8) Predator Tusk
9) Galactic Defender
10) Predator Tusk --> Explosive Retrofit
11) Stun Knife --> Time Splitter
Optionally you can get Darwin's instead of Explosive for more lifesteal, but less life and damage. Ryuuk prefers Explosive.
4) Notes on gameplay:
Basically early in the game you need to kill as many jungles and creeps as possible. You cannot ONLY jungle though, so you need to start in a lane. Only use the Haste to chase down a hero to get a kill. Try not to waste it, if you are not going to get a kill. You will have to practise to determine the kill timing. Shadow is a snow ball type hero. He can be played amazingly well, or amazingly horribly. You should be ahead of others in levels by level 6-8, and you need to keep stretching that advantage. You should always be killing something. Creeps, lane creeps, towers, heroes. If you only hunt heroes, you will fall behind on creeps. If you only lane... well you will get ahead on creeps, so if anything focus more on creeps. But if you mix everything right, you should be able to pull off alot of kills. Keep close attention to your minimap and all lane fights. See who is playing aggressively, and who is putting themselves out of position alot. This will let you know who you can gank and kill.
