Dota 2 - Phantom Assassin (Mortred) Build Guide

BIO
Through a process of divination, children are selected for upbringing by the Sisters of the Veil, an order that considers assassination a sacred part of the natural order. The Veiled Sisters identify targets through meditation and oracular utterances. They accept no contracts, and never seem to pursue targets for political or mercenary reasons. Their killings bear no relation to any recognizable agenda, and can seem to be completely random: A figure of great power is no more likely to be eliminated than a peasant or a well digger. Whatever pattern the killings may contain, it is known only to them. They treat their victims as sacrifices, and death at their hand is considered an honor. Raised with no identity except that of their order, any Phantom Assassin can take the place of any other; their number is not known. Perhaps there are many, perhaps there are few. Nothing is known of what lies under the Phantom Veil. Except that this one, from time to time, when none are near enough to hear, is known to stir her veils with the forbidden whisper of her own name: Mortred.
INTRODUCTION
Mortred is a hero that have the biggest Critical Strike in DotA. She is a decent carry on late game. The critical is her trademark. On a late game she can deal more than 1000 damage in a blow with her critical. That's just too much for some squishy hero like Crystal Maiden or Shadow Demon and those squishy heroes will just explode like a small cockroach. Usually, Mortred player buy Bkb and Battlefury to make her get a cleaving attack. And with cleaving attack and magic immunity, nothing can stop her.

Why take Phantom Strike for level 1? You need Phantom Strike to escape if enemy wants to get firstblood by killing you. By jumping into nearby ally or creep, you can escape from firstblood.

Why maxed Stifling Dagger first? You need to increase this skill on early game for lower mana and more damage to last hit the creep. More level of this skill also makes you can harass more for enemy hero, with  more damage and more slow. Nuke is more effective on early game because enemy Hp is still low ( a few hundreds).

Why maxed Phantom Strike before Blur? Maxed Phantom Strike first gives many advantages because of the lower cooldown of this jumping skill. With lower cooldown you can catch your target by jumping and attacking him with more attack speed for every 5 seconds. You can also easier to escape if you are being chased.

STRATEGY
Early Game
On early game, you need to get as much farm as you can. The more creeps you can kill the better. Use Stifling Dagger to last hit the creep that too far to attack. As a carry, your main job is to farm because you need many items to be the best in the game. If you cannot succeed in farm, your team will have a hard time in the late game teamfight. Don't be too aggressive on early game, inexperienced Mortred player usually thinks that she is strong so he weirdly Phantom Strike and attack the stronger early-game hero which lead to a fool death.

Mid Game
You should still farm on this stage of the game. This is your only responsibility on early-mid game. You should get the best item you can get. You can change from lane to lane and get the farm you need. As a carry, farm is your main priority, if lane creeps is already empty, you should do the jungle creeps.
If there is a teamfight near your farming area, you should help your team win the teamfight. Use Stifling Dagger on a target and then jump and attack an enemy. With constant attack, you will trigger your Critical Strike that is your most deadly weapon.
Mortred Phantom Assassin Dota
Late Game
On this stage of the game, you should already have the items you need. Your farm on early-mid game should be paid off. Show your high Critical Damage to the enemy. If you can jump to the enemy and land some Critical Strike on this stage of the game, your team will be likely to win the teamfight. Your Critical blow are almost sure deals 1000++ damage. And usually you are already equipped with the Battlefury, that means a cleaving 1000++ damage should be received by the enemy. And no one can survive it.
