    BIO
    Among the sovereign Demons with explicit access to this world, Doom Bringer scarcely bothers with the affairs of Noninfernals and Lesser Spectral Consorts, while Shadow Fiend passes through almost exclusively on collecting expeditions. The Shadow Demon, however, has always taken a deep and abiding interest in the material plane, as if sensing that mastery of this gritty dimensional nexus might be the key to total domination of all realities. Summoned first by minor wizards, the Shadow Demon granted every wish and put on increasingly impressive displays of power until he had the full attention of the greatest demonologists, and through them the various lords, tyrants, autarchs and heirophants who depended on sorcery to buttress their mundane power. So great was his deception that all his summoners considered themselves the master and Shadow Demon the servant; meanwhile, he eroded their identities and made their minds his own. In the end, most members of the cult were hollow puppets, extensions of his evil will. What Shadow Demon's next step would have been remains open to speculation, for around this time, Nevermore the Shadow Fiend bit into a particularly nasty-tasting soul and discovered that it held nothing but a foul nougat of Shadow Demon's essence. Alerted that a coup was underway, and that the ancient equilibrium of the Umbral Pact was about to be destabilized, Doom Bringer and Shadow Fiend briefly joined forces to destroy the burgeoning cult. Combining spells of incredible force, they undid Shadow Demon's centuries of patient work, reducing his cult to smithereens--and all its members to a bloody splatter. Nothing remained except a tiny speck of demon shadow. Immortal and irreducible, this mote of evil was enough to seed the Shadow Demon's next scheme, and in fits and starts, over further centuries, he began to regroup. Whatever that speck of shadow touched, it tainted, and its influence gradually grew. A chaos of damaged parts pulled together, reknit, and combined to give Shadow Demon a form even stronger than his former. He is all but complete now, and his plan for infinite dominion lacks all of its former weaknesses. It would seem that such a being of pure malice and malevolence, a threat to all creation, would be forever out of place in our world...yet Shadow Demon does not lack for followers.

    Why Shadow Poison and Soul Catcher on early game?
    This will gives you high nukes damage on early game, it is fit for you as an Intelligence hero.

    Why Disruption on mid-late game?
    Because in this state of the game, the damage from this skill will reach it's maximum potential because of the increasing in opponents damage and attack speed.

    STRATEGY

    Early Game..
    You are a support for your team. you should buy 1 courier and a pair of wards.
    No need to las hitting because you don't need that much golds.
    You can control your lane using Disruption. Every one who is affected by this skill, should retreat to avoid further damage from his illusion.
    You should spam Shadow Poison in this state of the game, this skill is so painful in high stack.
    You can try to gank enemy if you want. Use Disruption first, and then use Sould Catcher and then followed by your friends attacking the enemy.
    Also use Disruption for defensive purpose.

    Mid Game
    You should gank someone in this state of the game, find somebody and gank him with your friends. You are a ganker here.

    Your combo:
    1. Disruption
    2. Soul Catcher (You can activate this while enemy is inside the Disruption)
    3. Demonic Purge
    4. Spam Shadow Pison
    5. Normal Attack

    You are a warder, dont forget to buy wards, and place it in a certain area to spot the enemy, especially in Roshan area, so you know when the enemy is trying to kill Roshan.
