STRATEGY
Early Game
Dazzle is a utility hero, he usually needs to buy the courier for his team. And also don't forget to buy the wards. Noobs usually thinks that buying wards is not important, but that's 100% wrong. Ward is a must item for every team in DotA. You need vision from the ward to avoid being ganked by the enemy.

On early game, what you need to do is to support your partner in lane by help him denying the creeps and also try your best to keep him alive by casting the Shadow Wave and also the Shallow Grave if something dangerous happening to your ally or yourself. If your team thinks you need a bit of farm, the Shadow Wave can helps you farming faster by killing damaging some creeps at once.

Mid Game
Mid game is the ganking time! Everybody will roam around the map and find somebody to kill. So always keep your eye on the important place from where the enemy can comes up and always be careful. Always remember to replace the ward if the time is up and also always keeps an eye on the vision from the wards.
If ganks happening to your team, that is your time to action! You are the savior for your team, you have 3 defensive spells to be casted to save your team in a gank. If you think the gank is too dangerous for your ally/ yourself, because of the potentially high burst damage, you must immediately cast the Shallow Grave to save your friend. If that is not so dangerous, you will have the time to cast your ultimate first, it will increase your allies armor to protect them during the clash, and also it will make enemy become squishy and helps your teamd eal more damage. Also remember to cast the Shadow Wave to helps your teammates alive and maybe can damaging enemy a little.
If you sure that all allies is already 100% safe, you can be aggressive by casting the Poison Touch and start harassing your opponent.
If your team's are the one that initiate a gank to the enemy team, first is to cast the Poison Touch and Weave and let your friends to the damaging things. you can also help by attacking the opponent, although your damage is not that good, but it will helps your team to kill enemies.


Late Game
On the late game, your presence become so much more important. Your team will need a man that can guarantee a 100% insurance for the team. And that is your job to do that. You must deliver a safety feel to your allies, to make sure no one will be death during the teamfight.
Your part in the teamfigth might like this:
1. Comes to the teamfight, don't position your friends in front line of your line-up, because if you death, who will save your friends?
2. Immediately cast your ultimate, the Weave to increase ally's armor while also reducing enemy's.
3. Cast your poison touch on a squishy target/
4. Cast Shadow Wave to helps your friends survive in the teamfight
5. Cast Shallow Grave for allies that you see in danger of death
6. If you have the Mekansm, cast it to recover allies health and keep them alive.
That's it, be discipline and keep focusing. Stay calm during teamfight and click the rifght heroes for your Shallow Grave. Hope you will win your teamfight.

And after your team won the teamfight, you can get the Aegis for your team's main hero or your team can push enemy base and destrouy their buildings. Choose wisely!
And if your team's have bad luck and lose the teamfight, run immediately, use all you have to save yourself and your friends. If you have forcestaff use it to escape faster, and always use your skill whenever it's needed to save your allies.
