BIO
Among the high-sworn of the Slithereen Guard there is a solemn vow oft repeated before battle: No Slithereen may fail. In truth, these words are equal parts oath and enforceable covenant, for those who fall short of their duty are banished from the order. To fail is to be other than Slithereen.

Once most highly esteemed of her race, Slithice for many years commanded a battalion of her fellows, using her formidable voice as her greatest weapon. Powerful, sinuous, serpentine, she led her deadly Guard in defense of the Deep Ones, and the great wealth of the sunken cities. But in the final battle of Crey, her forces were driven back by a marauding army of levianths intent on finding tribute for their god Maelrawn. After the long and bloody onslaught, as the bodies were cleared from the sunken halls, a single jeweled chalice was found missing from the trove. Of her hundred Guard, only a handful survived, but their bravery and sacrifice were of little consequence. What mattered was that treasure was taken. Honor destroyed. And so Naga Siren was cast out. Banished to search for the stolen chalice. Though she might add a hundred times her weight to the golden trove, she is doomed to live apart until that day she returns that which was taken. For no amount of gold is equal in honor to the honor she lost.

INTRODUCTION
Naga Siren is one of the best cloner hero that can be used to do a big combo-wombo. Her clones can make her become one of the fastest farmer in the game. While Naga hersefl farming on top, her clones can do farm in jugnle, or even mid.
Her combo is using her Song to make everyone goes sleep and to use all of combo skills after the sleep.
Naga, comes from the sea and destroys everyting on the land.
STATS

1. Mirror Image
Creates three images of Naga Siren under her control.
Slithice, while being strong in her own right, is notoriously hard to track down.
You create 3 illusion of yourself. Your illusion will helps you in farms. With this illusion, you can farms fast because you have more army.
You can farm in jungle quickly with helps of your illusions. Remember that your illuson can also splash the Rip Tide skill of you so it will faster your farm even more.
2. Ensnare
Interrupts the target and traps them in place, preventing movement or blinking.
The only way to escape the onslaught of a Slithereen is to never oppose one in the first place.
Trap 1 enemy unit in your net. Very good to torture him. You have 3 images that makes you have a decent damage, you also have RipTide that will reduce enemy's armor.
This net trap is considered a long disable, 5 seconds in level 4, a decent disable to kill a single target.

3. Rip Tide
The Naga Siren and her images hit all nearby units with a damaging wave of water that lowers armor for 8 seconds.
A torrent from the Deep Ones crushes the defenses of the Siren's enemies.
With this skill, you will deal some damages and reduce some armor of enemies. You and your images are all casting this skill, this will makes you can farms in jungle or in another lane, using your image that can cast this and deal damage and reduce armor to creeps. You will be a fast farmer with this farming method. Maybe you can get Radiance or Diffusal Blade in under 20-25 minutes.
This skill does not stack, not like Meepo. So the damage will be the same 220, and the armor reduction is 5, although enemy receive this from you and your images. But this skill will larger the AoE because your nearby images also cast this skill.

4. Song of the Siren
All enemies in range of the Naga Siren are put into a magical stasis where they cannot act or be attacked. Using Song of the Siren again will end the duration early.
Slithice's powerful voice enchants leagues of opponents, while calling her Slithereen kin in a time of need.
Song of the Siren Cancel

Why maxed Mirror Image first? With this skill maxed first, you will get lots of damage potential since the earliest stage of the game, makes your illusions more tanky and also deal more damage. Makes you easier to survive in lane and allows you to jungle easily. Be aggressive with this build, you are more fierce than enemies.

Why take 1 level of ensnare on early game? Your goal is to ensnare one target and beat up him with your 3 illusions. Remember that this build have lots of physical damage from Mirror Image. It will be easy for you. lf. Try to get firstblood if you can.

Why maxed RipTide before Ensnare? RipTide should be maxed immediately for easier farm using illusions, and also: because this is a nuker, will reach it's maximum potential on early-mid game. Reduce armor is also good for farming and also killing
Strategy
Early Game
I recommend you to start using Images since the earliest stage of the game. Illusions is your heart, no Naga Siren without illusions. If your illusions came up, no enemy wants to fight you one-by-one if he has no AoE spells. That means that you can conquer creeps area and farm freely. And if you have a chance, Ensnare 1 enemy and beat him up with your 3 illusions. You are strong, remember that, imagine, you are facing DrowRanger 1 vs 1. Just by using Mirror Image, she must run or die easily because of your ensnare + right click for you and illusions.
Jungling is also a good option. Using illusions, you can farm quickly in jungle too.

Mid Game
In mid game, you have free choice to farm or to ganking. Ganking is not a bad option because Ensnare + Rip Tide + Mirror Image attack is guarantee a kill. And also Song to make you can escape easily.
Solo kill is possible if you're facing a non AoE hero. Also you can keep farming whether in lane or in jungle. Keep farming makes you become a decent carry for late game which is your main job for the game.
Late Game
You can start using your combo-wombo here. First, cast Song of the Siren, then you + friends surrounded your enemy and be prepared to cast all the skills. Be prepare by casting Mirror Image, and get ready to cast RipTide. Then - Combo-Wombo! Using Tidehunte, DarkSeer, and/or Enigma will works so well. You have to use RipTide and right click enemies in this combo. With the combo your team have a very high chance of winning the teamfight.

LGD vs Na'Vi International 2012 Winner Bracket Game 1
Match ID: 37578738
Naga carries the game and gets a lot of kills. Coupled with Dark Seer LGD wrecks teamfights and ensures a rather easy win.

LGD vs Na'Vi International 2012 Winner Bracket Game 3
Match ID: 37590330
Naga manages to farm a lot and get very fat but LGD loses in the end. One of the best games of the tournament that also shows that Naga can't measure to real hard carries.

Match ID: 41790675
Showcase on how powerfull Gem of Truesight is on Naga.
Not very high skilled pub game which you can see when 4 opponents rely on invisibility. The game was pretty tedious for me and seemed like a sure loss, but I managed to save the game by buying a gem and netting kills.

Match ID: 44166964
A lot better pub game where I'm agressive most of the time and with my team push towers and prevent enemies from getting any kind of farm. I forget to level Ensnare and keep it at level 1 for whole early game.

BIO
Krobelus was a Death Prophet-which is one way of saying she told fortunes for the wealthiest of those who wished to look beyond the veil. But after years of inquiring on behalf of others, she began to seek clues on her own fate. When death refused to yield its secrets, she tried to buy them with her life. But the ultimate price proved insufficient. Death disgorged her again and again, always holding back its deepest mysteries. Her jealousy grew. Others could die for eternity--why not she? Why must she alone be cast back on the shores of life with such tiresome regularity? Why was she not worthy of the one thing all other living creatures took for granted? Still, she would not be discouraged. Each time she returned from the grave, she brought a bit of death back with her. Wraiths followed her like fragments of her shattered soul; her blood grew thin and ectoplasmic; the feasting creatures of twilight took her for their kin.. She gave a little of her life with every demise, and it began to seem as if her end was in sight. With her dedication to death redoubled, and no client other than herself, Krobelus threw herself ever more fervently into death's abyss, intent on fulfilling the one prophecy that eluded her: That someday the Death Prophet would return from death no more.

INTRODUCTION
Death Prophet is considered a hero that makes a chaotic situation for the game. He will call lots of small ghosts. And that ghost will be uncontrollable and attacking random enemies they want. It will be hard to see where your hero is or where the enemy is. If you are her enemy, you will not feel something and suddenly your Hp is already low.
Krobelus can destroy towers quickly with her ghosts. She is considered a good pusher. Need Fortification to tank her damages.
Her another skills are an Area Nukes and an Area Silence. Silence can be useful to shut down enemies before any bad things happening. And nukes will be good for erarly-game harassing.

Take one level of Silence makes you can defend with casting Silence on enemies who tries to gank you.

Better thatincreasing Silence that just add the Silence duration. Also, silence is a skill for preparation of a teafight. And teamfight starts on mid-late game. 1 level of Silence on early game is enough for your defense.

STRATEGY
Early Game
You can handle every lane you want. You have a good nuking ability that can helps you to harass and farms.
You have a high range attack that can keep your range from enemy heroes. Long range also makes you possible to harass enemies with normal attack. Also harass enemies with Crypt Swarm, that will makes your enemy unfomfortable in laning phase. If you are being ganked, cast Silence and run. That will makes enemy can't use their skills and you can run freely.

Mid Game
In mid game, you should already have your main skill for the game: Exorcism. With this skill you can deal lots of damages with just running back and forth in the teamfights. Your ghosts will do the jobs. They will deal tons of damages. Towers will also feel the damages.
Ghost is your shield. With this, no enemy can face you alone or he will be killed by your ghosts. You will be a strong tank that can destroys a castle. Usually, Krobe player buys tanky items like Vanguard and Heart of Tarrasque that makes her a decent tanker and hardly to be killed while she have so many ghosts around her and she cannot be attacked from front or fom rear.

Pushing Strategy
You should rely on your Crypt Swarm and Exorcism to blast away lots of creeps so fast. With this, you can move in lane so fbecause you kills the creeps in that lane so fast without blocked by that creeps. You have lots of damage that waves of creeps can't handle. Your Exorcism also deals damage to towers. With this, you can destroy tower quickly before enemy come to protect the tower.
After winning a teamfight is the right time to push because enemy are still dead and cannot protect their towers.
Late Game
In late game, you still have a decent part in teamfights. Your Exorcism still deal lots of damages. Your Exorcism should be still one of your teams main damages.
In this state of the game, you should be more tanky and can survive through a hard teamfight. You should be in teamfights area for 24/7 to deals as much damages possible from your Exorcism.
Maybe you can buy some supportive items like Mekansm to heal your allies, it also good for a tanker like you. Or you can buy Schyte of Vyse and can helps you initiate a teamfight with hexing a target.
Remember that everytime your team win a teamfight, you can push quickly using Crypt Swarm and Exorcism so at least your team will get a tower.
