Dota 2 - Terrorblade Build Guide

BIO

Terrorblade is the demon marauder--an outlaw hellion whom even other demons fear. A cosmic iconoclast, he stole from the Demon Lords, ignored the codified rites that should have bound his behavior, and broke every law of the seven Infernal Regions. For his crimes, he was taught this lesson: even Hell has a hell. A short, brutal trial ensued, with many dead on all sides, and he was finally incarcerated in Foulfell, a hidden dimension where demonkind imprison their own.

But Foulfell is no normal prison. In this dark mirror of reality, demons are sentenced to gaze eternally into the twisted reflection of their own souls. But instead of suffering, Terrorblade made himself master of his own reflected worst self--a raging, thieving demon of unimaginable power. With his inner beast under sway, he destroyed the fractal prison walls and burst free to turn his terror loose upon all creation.

STRATEGY
Early Game
As a carry, of course, you have to farm diligently in the early game. But unlike some other carry that usually are weak in the early game, you can be very strong because you have nice abilities. You can easily zoning enemy with these skills so enemy can't come close. When you are on a demon form, your enemy instantly afraid and runs away so you can farm conveniently. Either with your other 2 skills, when you use that, your enemy usually runs from you.

Mid Game
On mid game, you should focus on destroying towers. You can use metamorphosis and then conjure image to create some illusion and easily destroy towers.
Destroy towers means your team gets lots of golds and also get them map control. Since you successfully destroy some towers, you will gets tons of golds advantage so you better surround your opponent's jungle and siege them.

Late Game
As a carry, on the late game stage you should already acquire some good items and should be able to carry your team into victory. You have high damage, and also multiple illusions, so technically you will be able to deal tons of damage in every teamfight. Prepare for a big teamfight. Get ready to always metaporph and multiply yourself.
In a teamfight, always focus fire on enemy supports since it will be easier to kill them.

b. SnY

Gives movement speed and also a slowing aattack. Very good for a carry. Will helps you in moving faster and slowing your enemy's movement speed. This item is an alternative for manta Style since the yasha is the same component.

Enemy to be aware of

1. Earthshaker

He counters you because he have Echo Slam. So he can destroy all of your illusions at once. So be careful of him.

2. Morphling

He have replicate to copy your illusion. And also he usually buys linken so you can't always use your Sunder on him.
