    Any advice on playing this hero, would like to start.

    I have played some bot matches and tried jungling with him, 18 min blink and force staff is that good? Are there any good guides to read/watch. Any tips would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    P.S. My wanting to play him has no connection to me getting a mythical item for him =)

        18 min blink + force is slow as hell. it should take less than 10 minutes for a blink dagger if you're jungling uninterrupted, and force isn't needed to gank, only blink is. once you get blink, get out of the jungle and kill people with your team if you want force money. you only jungle if there's nothing to do - lanes are occupied, lasso on CD and theres nowhere else to farm, due to how effiicently bat can farm.

        always stack the hard camp every minute, if you're on dire you can stack both the hard + medium that are near each other every minute. if you're on radiant, you can kill the hard + med near the mid lane and stack the other hard camp every minute.

        a bottle is worth getting because it means you don't have to go to base which could mean you lose a minute's worth of gold (and XP) every time you go back to base. so assuming you get bottle, as long as you make 325g back, then it's given you free XP when you sell the bottle back.

        most people think that going 4 in napalm and firefly is the way to go, but it leaves flamebreak with no damage by level 11 since you only have 1 point in it. i personally go 2-3-4 or 2-4-3 by level 11 since napalm doesn't get used much in the early game besides when laning and when jungling. when you're dragging someone away you don't have time to turn and use napalm, so putting too many points into a spell that you don't use wastes points that couldve gone in flamebreak or firefly.
