Vengeance Aura at level 4 gives about +7 damage, do you really think it is better than +75 damage to your main nuke?

She was first in succession for the throne of the Ghastly Eerie. After her sister's treachery, she fell down, losing her royal reputation. She later made a pact with Goddess Avilliva Scree'auk and became Vengeful Spirit. Now she hunts for her long forgotten love, the Skywrath Mage with a passion to make his life miserable.

[color=orange][size=20]SKILLS[/size][/color]
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/skill/vengeful-spirit-magic-missile.png[/img]Magic missile
It is a fantastic early game stun, immediately starting with 1.45 seconds of stun and 100 damage at level 1 - making it ideal for first blood. Remember , stun is worth more then the damage itself. Also, enemy heroes can evade this missile ( Puck, Alchemist, Magina, Mirana, Sylabear, etc )
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/skill/vengeful-spirit-wave-of-terror.png[/img] Wave of Terror
Best spell that Vengeful spirit has to offer. Armor reduction in small AoE and small damage, but mostly used to scout areas to prevent ganks , check for roshan, and many more. Remember, it is direct hp removal, so it WON'T disable clarity , bottle or healing salve.
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/skill/vengeful-spirit-vengeance-aura.png[/img]Vengeance Aura
Best for mid to late game, making your carry hit harder and giving all of your team a whoping +36% damage. Remember , it gives damage based on primary stats, and not bonus damage ( lets say from desolator or mkb ).
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/skill/vengeful-spirit-nether-swap.png[/img]Nether Swap
The skill that makes Vengeful feared. It is straightforward, it swaps you and your target. It is primarly used to swap enemy carry into your team and saving allies. With aghanim scepter, you get a ridiculus cooldown and you can target creeps. Remember, it goes throught magic invuleribity.

[color=orange][size=20]ITEM BUILD[/size][/color]
[size=15]Starting items[/size]
[Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/f/f6/Observer_Ward_icon.png/40px-Observer_Ward_icon.png[/Img] - Wards should also be bough, so you can't stop enemy from pulling creeps , to give vision of runes and choke points
[Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/1/1c/Animal_Courier_%28Radiant%29_icon.png/40px-Animal_Courier_%28Radiant%29_icon.png[/Img] - Chick is no brainier, every team needs it, and you should get one due to nature of your role
[Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/0/04/Smoke_of_Deceit_icon.png/40px-Smoke_of_Deceit_icon.png[/Img] - Smoke should be bought only if you plan to gank during the day, especial their mid lane. During night, smoke can be skipped, due to lower night vision of heroes ( mostly of them, be aware of Luna, Night Stalker, Slark and Sniper )
[Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/3/36/Healing_Salve_icon.png/40px-Healing_Salve_icon.png[/Img] - Salve should be bought, so you got some sort of regeneration after successful gank or if you are under constant harassing in lane
[Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/f/fd/Tango_icon.png/40px-Tango_icon.png[/Img]
[Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/7/77/Clarity_icon.png/40px-Clarity_icon.png[/Img][Img]
[Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/a/a3/Iron_Branch_icon.png/40px-Iron_Branch_icon.png[/img] - Branches should be bought to get at least some stats to be able to get to the middle game
[size=15]Mid game items[/size]
Medallion of courage, very good item in conjunction with wave of terror, makes you take down heroes easily. Also, it increase your mana regen, so you can keep less time going back to fountain.
Urn of shadows, for a supporting hero and hero who is always ganking and getting action 24/7, this item is godly. It makes your mana problem go away with conjunction with medallion, and heals you and your teammates, after successful ganks. Also note, urn should be purchased only on one hero per team.
Bots of speed, no brainier, makes you faster, should get boots before minute 4, due to slow nature of Vengeful.
[Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/f/f7/Mekansm_icon.png/40px-Mekansm_icon.png[/img]
In my opinion, one of the best item for Vengeful. It is easy to make, not much gold, and it gives a lot. Helps in pushing and teamfights. Must have
[size=15]Late game[/size]
[u]Don't save gold to buy big items, rather spent your gold on wards, smoke, gem, and for buyback[/u]
[color=orange][size=20]BOOTS[/size][/color]
Boots of travel [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/6/67/Boots_of_Travel_icon.png/40px-Boots_of_Travel_icon.png[/img]
Bad choice for Venge, your role is clearly not to be farming and the 2200 needed for the upgrade is just too much when you compare it with a 900 gold upgrade for Phase Boots and a 950 gold upgrade for Power Treads. Grade 2/10
Phase boots [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/9/98/Phase_Boots_icon.png/40px-Phase_Boots_icon.png[/img]
Can be useful to catch enemy heroes , due to your low range and low speed, but it doesn't give you much needed stats. Grade 4/10
Power treads [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/6/6b/Power_Treads_icon.png/40px-Power_Treads_icon.png[/img]
A quick overview on Power Treads is that they are my boots of choice for Vengeful, they are usable in so many different situations and also very good value for gold. You can do stats change, getting a bit of mana to be able to stun or swap, or getting much needed health to be able to survive gank or team fights. Grade 10/10
Arcane boots [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/b/be/Arcane_Boots_icon.png/40px-Arcane_Boots_icon.png[/img]
If in a team with heroes who need a lot of mana ( es, tide, sk, wrath king ) you should get them, otherwise, your mana problem aren't that high. Grade 6/10
Tranquil boots [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/e/ea/Tranquil_Boots_icon.png/40px-Tranquil_Boots_icon.png[/img]
Great boots for early roaming, loses it effectiveness after 25 minutes. Grade 7/10
[color=orange][size=20]OTHER ITEM WORTH GETTING[/size][/color]
Force staff : [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/a/a2/Force_Staff_icon.png/40px-Force_Staff_icon.png[/img]
Force Staff can be good given certain circumstances, often when i play Vengeful spirit these circumstances do not arise often enough to warrant me making Force Staff a priority, whilst it can be good after some other items because the active ability is useful and the INT bonus it gives helps a lot with spamming your spells
Vladmir's Offering : [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/2/28/Vladmir%27s_Offering_icon.png/40px-Vladmir%27s_Offering_icon.png[/img]
I know Vengeful is a ranged hero and will not benefit from the life steal but if no other allies have bought this then it is a good option, the bonus damage from this goes well with your own aura (you now give a total of +51% bonus damage to allies) the armor bonus and mana regeneration is always useful, and the life steal will benefit all melee allies (including creeps)
Difusal blade : [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/c/c7/Diffusal_Blade_icon.png/40px-Diffusal_Blade_icon.png[/img]
Difusal blade is always useful, the purge is very good for helping finishing off targets, the feedback is good and it is generally a fairly good items on all heroes, the only problem is the price will cause you to steal farm from other heroes and the fact that you will often die before you can make sufficient use of it. Also be careful when using this, it removes the Wave of Terror effects from your target. Great vs Warlock.
Blink Dagger : [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/4/4c/Blink_Dagger_icon.png/40px-Blink_Dagger_icon.png[/img]
Ever since the new patch, blink dagger is now usable by Vengeful spirit. It practically turns you into same role as Bat rider, swapping targets then immediately going back, making you survive and granting sure kill on enemy hero. Be aware that if you swap a unit onto an unpathable ledge, the unit will gains free pathing for 5 seconds , so you can't swap enemy hero and stuck him.
Drum of Endurance [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/9/91/Drum_of_Endurance_icon.png/40px-Drum_of_Endurance_icon.png[/img]
This is a great item for the Vengeful Spirit, it offers Strength and Intelligence, both of which Vengeful Spirit needs. It also goes well with Vengeance Aura with this item you will be giving nearby allies attack and move speed along with the damage from your own aura. Definitely worth getting most of the time
Aghanim's Scepter
This item is a luxury item for Venge, the hp and mana bonus is very attractive the upgrade it offers is also fairly attractive, the only problem is that you do not have the mana pool to be spamming Nether Swap. Only time when you should get this, if you have great game, and getting gold from assisting, killing towers and Roshan. Never go farm for this item, you are NOT carry hero
[color=orange][size=20]POPULAR ITEMS THAT NEED MENTIONING[/size][/color]
[color=black]Shadow blade[/color] [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/0/0f/Shadow_Blade_icon.png/40px-Shadow_Blade_icon.png[/img]
It can save you , but rather that, it is useless, unless you are going for carry venge , which you shouldn't. And on top of that, it gets countered by 180 gold item.
[color=black]Desolator[/color] [Img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/thumb/8/84/Desolator_icon.png/40px-Desolator_icon.png[/img]
Very common on pubs, it goes well with the wave of terror, but again, if you play suporting vengeful ( which you should ) then don't get this item. It is rather very expensive for support, especially roaming one, like vs.
[color=orange][size=20]HERO SINERGY[/size][/color]
[size=18][u]Friends[/u][/size]
[size=15]In lanes[/size]
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/hero/icon-sm/crystal-maiden.png[/img] Her Frost bite and Crystal nova can easily set up kills , which you will follow with stun and wave. Great combination in lane, although 2 supporters shouldn't go together in lane. On the other hand trilane with this two is deadly combination.
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/hero/icon-sm/ancient-apparition.png[/img] With Vengeful stun there is higher chance of proceeding cold feet which will be a 100%.
[size=15]Mid heroes[/size]
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/hero/icon-sm/invoker.png[/img] Ganking mid with your Invoker, is sure to be kill. Qold snap and forged spirit and your stun, coupled with armor reduction, is easy kill.
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/hero/icon-sm/pudge.png[/img] You stun, he hooks, he kills. Except if he is russian. Then you are screwed
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/hero/icon-sm/kunkka.png[/img] Similar to Kunka and SD, you can very easy get kills with this mid lane. Great set up for torrent
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/hero/icon-sm/mirana.png[/img] You stun, you set up for her arrow, which will most likely gets you a kill.
[size=18][u]Foes[/u][/size]
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/hero/icon-sm/lina.png[/img] Nukers are your worst nightmare. They will instantly kill you with their big ultimate's.
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/hero/icon-sm/sven.png[/img] Naturally tanky heroes, you will have a hard time killing them.
[Img]http://www.dotafire.com/images/hero/icon-sm/storm-spirit.png[/img] Heroes who can disjoint your stun ( meaning they can evade it ), will make your life miserable.
