Dota 2 - Enchantress Build Guide

BIO
Aiushtha appears to be an innocent, carefree creature of the woods, and while this is certainly true, it is hardly the sum of her story. She well understands the suffering of the natural world. She has wandered far, and fared through forests bright and drear, in every clime and every season, gathering friends, sharing news, bringing laughter and healing wherever she goes. For in worlds wracked by war, forests are leveled for the building of ships and siege engines; and even in places of peace, the woods are stripped for the building of homes, and as fuel for countless hearths. Aiushtha hears the pleas of the small creatures, the furtive folk who need green shade and a leafy canopy to thrive. She lends her ears to those who have no other listeners. She carries their stories from the wood to the world, believing that her own good cheer is a kind of Enchantment, that can itself fulfill the promise of a verdant future.

STRATEGY
Early Game
On early game, you should not go straight into the lane because you should acquire the creeps in the jungle to gank enemies and also for early pushing. You can stay in the jungle for a while in the early game while gaining more level and more creeps. If you already get 3 creeps, you can come to the lane and push the lane for early tower that gives gold advantages to the team.
try to use TAB to change between your creeps, try to maximiz every creeps ability like the Centaur's stun, Wildkin's tornado, etc.
Also remember to slow down enemy using enchant and also remember to heal allies using the Nature's Attendant.

Mid Game
Mid game is still the time to use all the creeps. You should try to maximize every creeps ability.
Use Wildkin's tornado to destroy's enemy's push wave, the damage is constant and not so painful, but with the time goes by, it will deal lots of damage to the pushing wave. Or you can use this tornado to push enemys lane.
Or, Use Centaur to stun the enemy. and Use Troll to net the target.
Roaming is your job in this stage of the game. Use your creeps to accompany you to kill all the enemy in every lane. It is good to kill enemy's carry to delay his farm and increase your team's chance to win the teamfight.

Late Game
Remember that you have the Impetus, it will help the team to deal physical damage in the late game teamfight. Although you are not 100% carry, this Impetus skill is so good to deal damage and harass all the enemy.
Also use Nature's attendant maybe still useful here, to keep all team members alive during a hard teamfight.
Maybe you can use some item you bought, like Sheepstick or Mekansm. All items are useful to keep your teams powerful in the teamfight.
