Dota 2 - Weaver Build Guide

BIO
The fabric of creation needs constant care, lest it grow tattered; for when it unravels, whole worlds come undone. It is the work of the Weavers to keep the fabric tight, to repair worn spots in the mesh of reality. They also defend from the things that gnaw and lay their eggs in frayed regions, whose young can quickly devour an entire universe if the Weavers let their attention lapse. Skitskurr was a master Weaver, charged with keeping one small patch of creation tightly woven and unfaded. But the job was not enough to satisfy. It nagged him that the original work of creation all lay in the past; the Loom had done its work and travelled on. He wanted to create rather than merely maintain-to weave worlds of his own devising. He began making small changes to his domain, but the thrill of creation proved addictive, and his strokes became bolder, pulling against the pattern that the Loom had woven. The guardians came, with their scissors, and Weaver's world was pared off, snipped from the cosmic tapestry, which they rewove without him in it. Skitskurr found himself alone, apart from his kind, a state that would have been torment for any other Weaver. But Skitskurr rejoiced, for now he was free. Free to create for himself, to begin anew. The raw materials he needed to weave a new reality were all around him. All he had to do was tear apart this old world at the seams.
INTRODUCTION
Weaver in one kind of carry in DotA. His best times is in the mid game teamfights. He can move very fast and invisibly and makes enemy's confused and hard to catch him. Not just that, while his HP is reduced he can gain back his HP with reversing the time to when his HP is still full. He also can double his attacks, that makes him can deal lots of damages. That is what makes him a decent carry.
ROLE
STATS
ABILITIES
1. The Swarm
Weaver launches a swarm of 12 young Weavers that latch on any enemy unit in their path, attacking and reducing armor until it is killed.
Skitskurr opens a gap in the space time fabric, allowing young Weavers to slip through and aid him in combat.
Release a wave of swarm to a direction. This skill deals some damage per second for the affected units. The swarm is easily killed because of it's low Hp. Can be good to helps you deal some damage to enemies.
2. Shukuchi
Weaver shifts out of visibility, gaining the ability to move at maximum speed through physical units--doing harm to any enemies it passes through.
As the Weavers worked in the fabric of creation, small wormholes allowed them to slip through time to better work their craft.
This skill is what makes you become hard to catch. You will become invisible and move so fast so your opponent will be confused and you can have fun with them. This skill increase your mobility by a lot. Mobility is the key factor of a Weaver. With the high mobility you can: control the lane, harass enemy easily, and also chasing or escaping easily.Although they have gem, you still have the high movement speed to escape, but still should be careful. This skill also deal some magical damage to your opponents that touch you.
Always activate this skill on every situation of the game, harassing, ganking, and teamfights. With this skill you can move freely and can harass enemies easily.
3. Geminate Attack
Allows Weaver to dispatch two swarms, attacking an enemy twice. The extra attack will not trigger other attack effects (such as critical strike) and overrides Unique Attack Modifiers.
Skitskurr's relationship with time is somewhat variable, causing his actions to be witnessed - and felt - more than once.
This skill makes you attack twice if this skill is off cooldown. With this skill, you can deal lots of damage with your attack. This is your main carrying skill. With the more damage you have, it will deal more and more damage. And in late game, this skill will be very effective to helps you reach victory.
4. Time Lapse
Weaver warps backward to whatever position it was in five seconds earlier--regaining the HP and mana from that time. No effect on cooldown, gold or experience.
If Skitskurr does not deem the current reality of the world to fit his desires, he simply crawls back in time to right what was wronged.
This skill makes you can go back to 5 seconds earlier. This will make your HP, mana and position to be like where was you at 5 seconds ago.
Use this when your HP is reduced drastically from the full so you will gain your full HP back.

STRATEGY
Early Game
On level 1 you need to take Sukuchi to defend yourself from firstblood attempt from opponents. By going invisible, you can dodge their attacks and save yourself.
Harassing and farming is your two main priorities for the early game. You can harass enemies using Sukuchi, normal attack, or The Swarm. By harassing opponents, they will be uncomfortable on the lane and can't last hits properly. And also if you are good enough, they will be killed or at least will retreat and makes yourself get the easy farms.
Try to last hits every creep in your lane. You need farms, you are the carry, farm some nice items and make yourself strong for the late game.
Mid Game
On mid game, you can keep farming or sometimes helping the team in the teamfight.
Before the teamfights, always cast The Swarm to make them busy with the Swarms. After that, your team's initiator should come to play and initiate with his skill. After that, Use Shukuchi to go through the enemy, and then attack them from the weird position and if someone want to attack you, use Shukuchi again and find other place to attack them. You are doing this while your teammate also attack the enemies. With a play like this, your enemy will be confused of where your position is and you can harass them and kill them.
Remember to keep on farming. If you have lots of golds, try to buy the Radiance and become OWNING!!
Late Game
If you are already OWNING on mid game, then late game will be easy for you. You will have some nice items and ready to destroys all enemy and finish the game. Your strat is still the same, first is to cast The Swarm before the teamfight starts. After that, your team's initiator should come to play and initiate with his skill. After that, Use Shukuchi to go through the enemy, and then attack them from the weird position and if someone want to attack you, use Shukuchi again and find other place to attack them. You are doing this while your teammate also attack the enemies. With a play like this, your enemy will be confused of where your position is and you can harass them and kill them. If tere are enemies that tries to run, cast The Swarm and cast Shukuchi to chase him. And use your high right click damage to finish him.Early Game

Dota 2 - Chaos Knight Build Guide

BIO
The veteran of countless battles on a thousand worlds, Chaos Knight hails from a far upstream plane where the fundamental laws of the universe have found sentient expression. Of all the ancient Fundamentals, he is the oldest and most tireless-endlessly searching out a being he knows only as "The Light." Long ago the Light ventured out from the progenitor realm, in defiance of the first covenant. Now Chaos Knight shifts from plane to plane, always on the hunt to extinguish the Light wherever he finds it. A thousand times he has snuffed out the source, and always he slides into another plane to continue his search anew.
Upon his steed Armageddon he rides, wading into battle with maniacal frenzy, drawing strength from the disorder of the universe. A physical manifestation of chaos itself, in times of need he calls upon other versions of himself from other planes, and together these dark horsemen ride into battle, as unstoppable as any force of nature. Only when the last Light of the world is scoured from existence will the search be ended. Where rides the Chaos Knight, death soon follows.
INTRODUCTION
Chaos Knigh is a Powerful Carry late Game hero because he have illusions that deals a full damage as illusions. If enemy have no AoE skill, Nessaj is almost 100% can carry his team into Victorious. He is also a tanky hero that have a high survivability. Nessaj also have a powerful Critical Strike that will crush any enemy that dare to face him. Not just it, he also have a stun and have a skill to make the target pulled into him and then he can easily attack the target. Icefrog Present: The most Powerful Strength hero in DotA.
ROLE
STATS
ABILITIES
1. Chaos Bolt
Throws a mysterious bolt of energy at the target unit. It stuns for a random duration and deals random damage.
Even Chaos Knight cannot predict this manifest of unholy energy.
This is a decent single targetted stun. On level 4, this skill can stun vary from 2 to 4 seconds. Just imagine your target stunned for 4 seconds and beaten by you + your 3 illusions with real damage. It is almost 100% a death sentence for him. This is your main skill for disabling your enemy. Makes you a decent ganker for the game. Disables 1 enemy for 4 seconds in the teamfights means he will be useless for the teamfight.
2. Reality Rift
Teleports you, any images you have and the target unit to a random point along the line between the two of you. Gives you bonus attack damage for one attack.
Armageddon rides between the planes, bringing Chaos Knight to his victim wherever he may hide.
Pull your target into you. This will makes you can chase your target and beat him easily. This is a needed skill for chasing your target. Always use this skill before attacking your target. You also gain some bonus damage from this skill.
3. Chaos Strike
Chaos Knight's mojo gives him a chance to deal bonus damage.
Chaos Knight's unwieldy power bludgeons those who stand before him, crushing the thickest of armors.
A powerful critical strike. Very good. This skill makes you a decent carry. This skill is already powerful and not just it, your image deals critical too. It will make your damage output become monstrous. With this skill, no enemy willing to fight you 1 vs 1, especially for some squishy hero like Crystal Maiden, or Venomacer. They will be very afraid if they meet you in the road or jungle.
This skill is mainly useful for late game teamfights where physical attacks become the dependant of the champion of the game. With this skill your team should not be afraid of lack physical attack. You will fulfill the needs of physical damage for your team.
4. Phantasm
Summons several copies of the Chaos Knight from alternate dimensions. The illusions deal full damage, but take double damage.
Drawing on his battles fought across many worlds and many times, phantasms of the Chaos Knight rise up to quell all who oppose him.
This is your skill that makes enemy afraid of you. With this skill activated, you will summon your illusions and it will make enemy to afraid of you if he don't have an AoE skill. The damage output of your illusions is the real damage, not the percentage damage, and also your illusion will deal critical too, with 100% of damage x 4 man x Crits. Just do the math, no opponents dare to face you directly 1 vs 1 if he don't have a cleave or a decent AoE spell. With this skill, in a teamfight, you will be OWNING!! easily. And maybe got a TRIPLE KILL!! or something like that. Remember that the damage output is just too high for enemy to handle.
Beware of some AoE skills like Echo Slam (Earthshaker), Avalanche-Toss (Tiny), or Stone Gaze (Medusa). They will makes your important illussions to banish like dusts.

A physical manifestation of chaos itself, in times of need he calls upon other versions of himself from other planes, and together these dark horsemen ride into battle, as unstoppable as any force of nature. Only when the last Light of the world is scoured from existence will the search be ended. Where rides the Chaos Knight, death soon follows.

Why maxed Chaos Bolt first? This is your main nuke, you will need this for ganking and killing or early mid game.
Why take 1 level of Chaos Strike for early game, it will help you to deal more damage to creeps or to early-mid ganks.
Why maxed Reality Rift before Chaos Strike? The rule of DotA: Nukes for early game, physical damage for late game. Reality Rift is a nuke that will deal more damage on early-mid game. And the most importantly, you need the low coldown of Reality Rift to be able to spam this skill. And Chaos Strike is for physical attacks that will be the main source of damages for mid-late game.
