BIO
Just as higher states of energy seek a lower level, the Spectre known as Mercurial is a being of intense and violent energy who finds herself irresistibly drawn to scenes of strife as they unfold in the physical world. While her normal spectral state transcends sensory limitations, each time she takes on a physical manifestation, she is stricken by a loss of self--though not of purpose. In the clash of combat, her identity shatters and reconfigures, and she begins to regain awareness. She grasps that she is Mercurial the Spectre--and that all of her Haunts are but shadows of the one true Spectre. Focus comes in the struggle for survival; her true mind reasserts itself; until in the final moments of victory or defeat, she transcends matter and is restored once more to her eternal form.

Why take Spectral Dagger for level 1? You need Spectral Dagger to escape if enemy wants to get firstblood by killing you so you can use Spectral Dagger into trees or hill and escape there.
Why maxed Spectral Dagger first? This is your only nuke, you will need this for ganking, farming, killing, and also escaping for early mid game.
Why maxed Desolate before Dispersion? Desolate is needed for mid game ganking which needs enemy to be alone to deal the additional damage, and if you increase this too late, the enemy is rarely to be alone because on late game, a team should be almost always together. So on about 15-30 minute into the game, is about the right time to increase this skill.
And Dispersion will deal more damage the more HP you have, and the late game is the time your HP reaches it's maximum.
Early Game
On this stage of the game, your only job is to farm as much as you can. If you can kill all the creeps that come to your lane, you will have enough money to buy any items you need to carry the team into victory. On the early game, be careful of enemy's nuke and harassment. You are a melee hero, waht you need to do is to maintain your range not in the range of enemy's attack and only come near the creeps if there is a low HP creep.
If your team wants to gank enemy in your lane, what you need to do is to use Spectral Dagger to slow down and damaging the enemy and helps with your normal attack.
Mid Game
In the mid game, usually enemy wants to gank you and try to kill you so you can't get the farm you need to become strong on late game. What you need to do is to keep aware of enemy's icon on the map and if one enemy is missing you should protect yourself by hiding in your tower, tower keeps us save.
You can also jungling if the creeps equilibrium is not near your tower.
If there is a teamfight happening far away from your place, you can help using Haunt and if necessary, you can jump there using Reality and attack the enemy.
Late Game
Late game is your time to shine. here you should have the core items you need to carry the game. What you need to do in every teamfight is to Haunt and deal damage to every enemy, and then go inside the center of the teamfight and attack enemy hero one by one. Focus is the key o success. So keep clicking the right enemy and not the creeps, and you will be owning.
Here on the late game, you should already have thousands of HP, by keep stayingon the teamfight and receiving some damage, you will automatically reflect the damages to all enemies nearby (because of Dispersion), the damage is considering high so if enemy is successful in killing you, they at least should feel some painful damage of themselves.
