Nothing is known of Enigma's background. There are only stories and legends, most of them apocryphal, passed down through the ages. In truth, Enigma is a mystery for whom the only true biography is description: he is a universal force, a consumer of worlds. He is a being of the void, at times corporeal, other times ethereal. A beast between the planes.
There are stories that say he was once a great alchemist who tried to unlock the secrets of the universe and was cursed for his arrogance. Other legends tell that he is an ancient being of strange gravity, the abyss personified-a twisted voice from out the original darkness, before the first light in the universe. And there are older legends that say he is the first collapsed star, a black hole grown complicated and sentient-his motivations unknowable, his power inexorable, a force of destruction unleashed upon existence itself.
INTRODUCTION
Enigma is one of the best initiator in DotA. He has Black Hole that will suck all nearby enemies and damaging them. While all enemies are being sucked, your team can easily harass - kills all enemies.
He is a great jungler on early game, with his ediolons. He can stay in the jungle until he gets all items he need to be ready for the action.

Why maxed Demonic Conversion first? You need it for jungling, to raise creeps and use it for tanking and damaging the jungle creeps.
Why maxed Malefice before Midnight Pulse? Malefica is a targetted stun that is more needed on early- mid game in ganking activities. and the Midnight Pulse is more useful on the late game to damaging enemies in the teamfight.
STRATEGY
Early Game
On the early game, I recommend you to straight go into the jungle. Enigma is a nice jungler. He has Demonic Conversion to convert a creep into 3 Eidolons that can multiply itself and make you can stay in the jungle to farms on the early game. I recommend you to first stay on the easy camp until you have a level 2 Demonic Conversion that is stronger to be able tobeat the big creeps.
You may also needs a ward to gives you vision to the jungle entrance. So you can see if there is enemy going into your jungle and can immediately retreat.
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.
You have some ganking skill here. So if you want to also participate in a gank, what you need to do is:
1. Comunicate with your teammates about who should be ganked, you should focus fire on 1 hero in a gank, because if you don't communicate well you may attack A and your teammates attack B, and that is a bad gank and can lead to failure on getting the kill.
2. If there is more than 1 enemy, imeediately come near your target,a and cast the Blackhole
3. If there is just 1 enemy and not their carry, Blackhole is not needed, you can just use the Malefice + Midnight Pulse
Late Game
You are the determinants for your team whether your team will have a good teamfight or not. Your Black Hole, that is the key of your team's success in every late game teamfight. If you successfully cast a Blackhole for 4 people, your team is 100% will dominate the enemy and win the teamfight easily.
