As Chief Curator and Head of Acquisitions for the Arcane Archives of the Ultimyr Academy, Demnok Lannik was tireless in his pursuit of lost, rare and forbidden tomes. No cursed temple was so foreboding, no cavern path so treacherous, that any concern for his own survival could dissuade him from entering if rumors hinted that some pamphlet of primordial lore might still survive in its depths. However, so often did his investigations trigger the wrath of protector entities, that he finally found it necessary to master the arts of magic. He bent himself to learning sorcery with the same thorough obsessiveness that marked his quest for incunabula, becoming the most powerful Warlock of the Academy in less time than most practitioners required to complete a course of undergraduate work. Almost as an afterthought, he carved a staff of Dreadwood and summoned into it a captive spirit from the Outer Hells. And anticipating the day when he will have recovered every last lost spellbook, he has commenced writing his own Black Grimoire. It will undoubtedly be instructive.

Why maxed Fatal Bonds first? With this skill, you can harass the enemies more. The power of the bond will slowly reduce your enemy's HP so you can easily control the lane on the mid game or you can use it to harass enemies more on a gank.
Why maxed Shadow Word before Upheaval? On early game you need Shadow Word mor than the Upheaval. The healing can keeps your teammates alive and the damage can easily harass your enemy in lane and in a gank. And Upheavel is a skill that need to be cast on a big clash which will be happening on a late game.
STRATEGY
Early Game
Warlock is a strong hero on early game. He have the fatal bonds to always harassing his opponents in lane by casting this on enemy hero and also the creeps so while the creeps taking damages, the enemy hero will also feel the damage. And he also have the Shadow Word which can be use to heal himself and also allies that need HP recovery. Shadow Word can also be use for enemy to harass him in the lane.
Mid Game
Midg game is usually is the starting of ganking activities where our team and the enemy team both finding each other to get as many kills as we can. You can help your team's ganking party by using Fatal Bonds in the starting of the gank. That way all enemy will receive more damage from your team's damage. And then cast the Chaotic Offering to summon Golem to helps you in the teamfight. With the Golem on the field, the enemy team is usually afraid and immediately forced to retreat because the golem + your whole team damage can destroy them easily. And if the enemy are not afraid from the presence of your Golem, it will be so good because the Golem will make your enemy confuse whether to attack the Golem or to attack the heroes. And then while enemy is confused, your team can easily crush them.
After you successfully cast the Fatal Bond and summon the Golem, youc an choose to cast the Shadow Word for allies to increase his survivability in the teamfight or to cast this on one of the enemy to harass him. After you successfully casted 3 of your skill, you can cast your channeling skill Upheaval which needs you to stand still for the next 10 seconds. Remember to place the Upheaval in the middle of the enemy heroes in maximize it's potential. And with the slowing ability from Upheaval, the enemy will hardly move in the area so your friends can crush them easily.
Late Game
Late game teamfight strategy is still the same. You cast the Fatal Bond in the starting of the teamfight to increase the damage enemy will receive, and then summon your Golem to stun the enemy and then your Golem can deal damage per second to them. On this late game, you may already have the Aghanim and that's make your initiation more stronger because you now can call 2 Golems at once. And if you also have the Refresher Orb, 4 Golems will be too much for the opponent and your team can easily win the teamfight. With 4 Golems, it will be a total chaos on the land, and the enemy should be retread or to be crashed by the power of your Golem. if the enemy still want to fight, your team will have so many damage source and will be a quite easy teamfight for your team. And if they choose to retreat, your Golem should be easy to destroy their towers and base. So it's a win-win solution for your team.
Also remember to cast sthe Shadow Word to either ally or to one of the enemy. And finally you can cast the Upheaval to slow down all the enemies in the area of a teamfight.
