    Why maxed Ovwrpower first? This build is for killing enemies since the game start. Overpower gives tons of damage since the earliest of the game, with boots, no one can stop you. Because it's source of  your damage. Without it your damage is very minor. Then, pick Enrage when can be taken. After that you can maxed FurySwipes then Earthshock. But if in your lane there is no disabler you should pick at least one level Earthshock to have easier lane control. EarthShock is optional, you already have a very high damage and attack speed and can instant kill everyone.

    STRATEGY
    Early Game
    You can kill any enemy you want if you have at least 1 disabler/slower partner. He then should stun the bad luck target, and because of your Overpower, you can kill him instantly, boots is needed for level 1 for instant kill. Be sure to always take regen items tango or healing potion. Get as much as possible last hit, get boots, regen item, and don't forget to get kill.
    If you get bored in lane, you can go jungle.You're one of the best jungler in dota, thanks to fury swipes that make your damage is very huge to the neutrals creep. Get vlad ASAP and take Roshan, it will boost your exp and gold. Go farm until you have a blink dagger.

    Mid Game
    Search for an alone hero and kill him. This is the step:
    1. Go near your target and hide in the fog of war
    2. Use Overpower and wait about 8 sec
    3. Activate Enrage and blink to your target
    4. Use Earthshock and then hit until your overpower run out.
    5. If your enemies doesn't die click again the overpower and hit your enemies. Your enemies should be died by that.

    BIO
    Among the emblematic powers that populate the Underscape, Razor the Lightning Revenant is one of the most feared. With his whip of lightning, he patrols the Narrow Maze, that treacherous webwork of passages by which the souls of the dead are sorted according to their own innate intelligence, cunning and persistence. Drifting above the Maze, Razor looks down on the baffled souls below, and delivers jolts of scalding electricity that both punish and quicken the souls as they decide their own fates, hurrying on toward luminous exits or endlessly dark pits. Razor is the eternal embodiment of a dominating power, abstract and almost clinical in his application of power. Yet he has a lordly air that suggests he takes a sardonic satisfaction in his work.

    INTRODUCTION
    Razor is a carry hero that can be a good tanker while doing damages to enemies. He should tank all the damages while absorbing enemy's damage and damaging enemy using his spells and attacks. He have 2 good nukes. 1 Area nuke, 1 nuke that auto target the lowest Hp enemy. Although he is an Agility Carry, he should buy tanky items because he needs to be tanky and keep survive while he keep absorbing enemy's damage and he get that damage and use it to kills enemies.

    Dota 2 - Razor Build Guide
    This build is Damage Absorber Build
    With this build, you will deal lots of painful damage since the early of the game. Just use static link when it's online, and damaging enemy you just absorbed his damage, and harass him until death.
    Level 1: Static Link
    Level 2: Plasma Field

    Level 15: Stats
    Level 16: Eye of the Storm
    Level 17-25: Stats

    Why Static Link first? With this skill, you will be owning since the earliest of the game. Absorb their damage, and use the damage you got, to harass them.

    Why maxed Plasma Field before Unstable Current? This skill is a nuke. Nuke should be maxed on early-mid game. It will reach it maximum potential when enemy's HP is still low, 500-1000.

    STRATEGY
    Early Game
    I recommend you to start spamming Static Link since the earliest of the game. You should use this and keep absorbing the enemy's damage and makes them feel disappointed. After you got the damage, use it to harass your enemies. You should have ultra high damage and deal about 100 damage in very early of the game. That should be so painful for your enemy.
    Also use Plasma Field to deal more damage to your enemies. Plasma Field will also can be used to kill some creeps together. Combine Static Link and Plasma Field damage to get firstblood.

    Mid Game
    In mid game, you should already bought some tanky items, like Vanguard, or Sange and Yasha. With those items, you can bear more damages while absorbing enemy's damage and while damaging them using Eye of the Storm and Plasma Field, and also Right Click damage + additional damage from Static Link. You can be a ganker or a mid-game farmer. Ganker is good, mid-game farmer is good too. You should use Plasma Field and Eye of the Storm, and also Static Link together. Use all you have. After buying your tanky items, your next target is carry's items, you should consider buying Manta Style, or Daedlus, etc.
    Dota 2 - Razor Build Guide
    Late Game
    In late game, you need to be a real DPS-er. But, don't forget to keep tanking and absorbing damage. Your nature is an Agility hero, you should be a carry in the late game. Remember to use Eye of the Storm in every teamfight. Also remember to use Static Link yo enemy's carry, with that, enemy's carry cannot deal high damages and makes him a crap.
    You should consider buying some carry's items like Manta Style or Thr Butterfly.
    You should focus on enemies one by one until all enemies are killed.

    BIO
    In life, the frost-mage Ethreain (not yet a Lich) had used the threat of destructive ice to enslave entire kingdoms. His subjects, aided by a few desperate magicians, eventually grew bold enough to ambush him. Armed with enough charmed rope to bind him forever, they tied the frost mage to adamant weights and dropped him in a pool known chiefly for being bottomless. It wasn't. He only fell for a year or so before an outcrop snagged him. There he rested, dead but undecaying, until the geomancer Anhil thought to verify the legend of the supposedly bottomless Black Pool. Anhil's plumbline snarled with the ropes that bound the drowned magician, and up he hauled an unexpected prize. Thinking that by rendering the dead undead, he could question the Lich about the properties of the pool, he removed the bindings and commenced a simple rite of resurrection. Even the descendants of Ethreain's enemies were long forgotten by time, so there were none to warn Anhil against imprudence. But he learned the error of his judgment almost immediately, as Lich threw off the shackles and consumed him.

    INTRODUCTION
    Lich is a hard support hero that can support his team very well. Denying is his specialty. He have a skill that eats his own creeps for mana. This will make enemy to loss 1 creep per wave. 1 creeps is about 40 gold and  about 60 exp.

He is also a decent nuker, he have  a decent slowing nuke and a deathlt ultimate: a bouncing ice ball.
    He also have an ability to increase armor of a hero. +Armor will make a hero more tanky. Lich, one of the best support in DotA.

    Take Sacrifice for level 1 for early denying. This will hamper your enemy's gold and exp by a bit.
    Take Frost Blast for level 1 if you & your friends want to get firstblood before the game start.
    Take Frost armor for level 1 if you want to Roshing before the game start. Use frost armor on Sylla's bear.

    Why maxed Frost Blast first? This is your main nuke. Max this early for maximum damage on early game.

    Why maxed Sacrifice before Ice Armor? Sacrifice is needed for early-mid game to replenish mana to spam your nukes. And ice armor is more important in late game where armor determine the course of the teamfight.

    STRATEGY
    Early Game
    In early game you have 3 choices.
    1. You increase your denying skill Sacrifice, and use this to reduce your opponents chance to get golds and exp.
    2. You increase Frost Blast first, this is the mainstream way, you will be a powerful nuker that enemy is feared of.
    3. Increased Ice Armor. This method is good for early Roshan where the tanker, usually Bear of Syllabear, will become more tanky because of the Ice Armor. Also, Roshan's attack will be slowed by 20%. Very good for early Roshing.
    Denying is your priority on early game, you are a support type. Except if you're on mid and solo. In mid, you should do last hitting, you have a long range attack, should be easy for you in laning phase, you can harass the enemy,  harass them and steal the creeps. You are a decent solomid hero, you have a slower nuke, and a good denying skill.
    Use Frost Blast on your enemy to harass them, if your mana is running low, immediately use Sacrifice and get more mana.

    Mid Game
    In mid game, your part is to use Chain Frost on every big teamfight. You should also keep spamming your main nuke, Frost Blast to kock down the enemies. remember that Frost Blast is also a decent slowing skill. With this skill you can chase enemy and make him cannot escape from you and your friends.
    Denying become less important on mid-late game, the most important is to keep killing enemy heroes and destroy their towers after winning  a teamfight.
    Dota 2 - Lich Build Guide
    Late Game
    In late game, keep using Chain Frost on each temfight. Chain Frost damage will damaging your foe's until they are agony or death. Chain Frost is a very powerful nuke. A bouncing ball that will knock down all the enemies.
    Usually Lich will buy supportive items like Mekansm or Pipe. These items are good for your team and keep teams alive. You can also buy Force Staff or Sheepstick and use that to initiate and hex someone.
