BIO
Even the most contented Skywrath is an ill-tempered creature, naturally inclined to seek revenge for the slightest insult. But Vengeful Spirit is the essence of vengeance. Once a proud and savage Skywrath scion, Shendelzare was first in succession for the Ghastly Eyrie until a sister's treachery robbed her of her birthright. Snared in an assassin's net, Shendelzare tore free only at the cost of her wings, limping away in the ultimate humiliation: On foot. With her wings broken, she knew the Skywrath would never accept her as ruler; and in the highest roost of the Eyrie, inaccessible except by winged flight, her sister was untouchable. Unwilling to live as a flightless cripple, and desiring revenge far more than earthly power, the fallen princess drove a bargain with the goddess Scree'auk: She surrendered her broken body for an imperishable form of spirit energy, driven by vengeance, capable of doing great damage in the material plane. She may spend eternity flightless, but she will have her revenge.

Mid Game 
You are one of the best ganker in dota. You have the combo Swap + Stun that will restrict the movement of the enemy. Swap + stun makes your team get the posititonal advantage over the enemy. It will be difficult for your opponent.

You need to coordinate a gank with your friends, and gank as much as you can. The more your team get the kills, the more chance your team will win the match.

So if you want to initiate in a gank, what you need to do is:

1. Talk with your teammates about who is the target. You should focus fire on 1 hero in a gank, because if you don't communicate well you may attack the A person and your teammates attack the B person, and that is a bad gank and can lead to failure on getting the kill.

2. Prepare the items needed in the gank:
a. Use Smoke of Deceit to be invisible from the Ward
b. Prepare a Dust, a Sentry Ward, or a Gem if you will gank an invisible hero like Rikimaru, Clinkz, or Nyx Assassin

Get ready to gank

4, Use Stun
5. Use he Wave of Terror
6. Right click until your target dies

After that all your friends can easily kill that 1 person and dominate the teamfight.

And if you can eliminate 1 person it will increase your team's chance to win the lategame teamfight that leads to winning the game.
