BIO
Deep in the Archive of Ultimyr, shelved between scholarly treatises on dragon cladistics and books of untranslatable spells, there is an ancient tome of entomological curiosities. Compiled by scholars, the book describes the telepathic talents of the zealot scarab, a strange species of social insect with abilities unique to all the seven planes.
Unlike most grubs of his colony, Nyx Assassin did not arise from metamorphosis with the plodding thoughts and blunted appendages common to the worker caste of his kind. For his was a special transformation, guided by the grace of Nyx. He was the chosen one, selected from the many and anointed with an extract of the queen goddess herself. Not all survive the dark blessing of the queen's chamber, but he emerged with a penetrating mind, and dagger-like claws--his razor sharp mandibles raking the air while his thoughts projected directly into the minds of those around him. Of all zealot scarabs, he alone was selected for the highest calling. After his metamorphosis, he was reborn, by grace of Nyx, with abilities which shaped him for one thing and one thing only: to kill in the name of his goddess.

Level 15: Stats
Level 16: Vendetta
Level 17-25: Stats
Why take Impale for level 1? You need Impale to escape if enemy wants to get firstblood by killing you. You need to stun them and run.
Or you can use this to get firstblood too, stun them and attack together with your friend.
Why maxed Impale first? This is your main nuke, you will need this for ganking, farming, and killing or early mid game.
Why maxed Mana Burn before Spiked Carapace? You need your Mana Burn to be spammable. If this skill is already on level 4, you can do 2-3 times Mana Burn per teamfight.
And spiked carapace level 1 is enough for early-mid game, and can be maxed late for your defense in the teamfight.
STRATEGY
Early Game
On early game, if you are a support for your carry, try not to steal the last hit from him. Deny is good, denying will reduce the gold and exp from the enemy. Use your Mana Burn once in a while, this will reduce enemy's mana and make them can't spam their skill. Impale is useful for stun your enemies. This can be use to find the firstblood or just to harass them. Impale also can be used to farm some creeps. Use Spiked Carapace to defend against enemy's attack. If they are chasing you, immediately activate the Spiked Carapace and make them stunned.
Mid Game
This is your time to shine. I believe you already have the Vandetta here. With this skill, you will gank everybody and will find some kills on the mid game. This kind of kills is important because if your team is leading since mid game, it will be likely to be owning on the late game.
Choose 1 target to start with. Ask your friend to help you in this gank. And then use the Vandetta - walk to your target - and stab your target. And after that you can use Impale, and mana Burn. Better if you have Dagon because it will guarantee the kill for you.
Mid game also is the time for the first few teamfights. Always try to use the Impale on al least 2 enemies. This will disable 40% power of the enemy.
Use Mana Burn to INT hero and hope he will loss many of his mana.
Remember to always right click one enemy and make sure you are useful in the teamfight.
Late Game
On late game, your power is not as powerful as mid game. But still you should doing something for your team. Impale is your main skill here. You should try to get at least 2 enemies in your impale.
With the right Impale, your team can get the advantage in the crowds of teamfight, like: they are all disabled and your team can easily harass and kill them.
Remmeber that now your Mana Burn has reaching it's maximum potential and now deal tons of damage to enemies. And the low cooldown is important for you to deal lots of damages in the teamfight.
Cast this skill to the INT hero of the enemy. They (INT hero) have high INT and will feel the more pain of this skill.
Also use Spiked Carapace to defend and this skill will also stun one of the enemy.
After winning a teamfight your team have 2 options, to push or to Rosh. Thaose 2 options is both good choice. Just need to choose it base on your leader or based on vote.
