From what I do.
I always build Pike.
I've tried Phase-Drums/Phase-Midas/Phase-Aquila/PT-Drums/PT-Aquila/PT-Midas and had the best success with Phase-Aquila/Phase-Midas.
Enchant is not strong because of the slow, but rather due to its dispel property.
Getting Ursa Hellbear or Troll Summoner/big Satyr guy is very strong in lane.
Latter is probably the strongest due to regen aura and nuke.
Getting a Wyvern (???) creep (small creeps w/lightning nuke) is also some of the strongest shit you can have in lane.
Enchant a catapult when you push or get a Troll Summoner and spawn skeletons.
I'd build Force Staff before Dragon Lance when getting a Pike sometimes.
Getting boots very fast enables you to trade very well in lane (you step back too fast for supports to attack you back w/boots and Untouchable).
Recently I've had very great success w/the Phase-Aquila build. I don't like Drums.
Ghost Scepter helps against Clinkz/PA in the early game.
Aeon Disk helps you to play against counterpicks in the later stages.
Watch Kaedoe replays and some of the spammer guys.
May help you a lot.
This meta isn't really good for Ench ever since Untouchble lvl 1 got fucked and she can't have reliable fast solo exp in the offlane.
Another guy to watch is suspiria.
He plays tons of Enchantress at high MMR pubs w/high winrate.
Blade Mail is your main counter in late game.
Hex can be kind of countered by building Aeon Disk/Linkens.
i watched suspiria alot before,doesnt he didnt take enchant at all?
imo,taking enchant is only good if you vs gyro so you can tank rocket barrage with your creep
gyro is bad now though
Forgot to mention that Enchantress is one of these offlane heroes you can grind MMR with pretty easily (even if your main cores are braindead).
You are a semicarry capable of killing enemy cores well into the late game.
I am a main enchantress player, you can see it in my profile, for me best boots is PT, why? Because with pt you get more aspd and you can change attribute as you like depend on the situation, magic wand is a must have ofc, and aquila for later be dissambeld into wraith band so you can upgrade it to pike, enchantress best role is off lane, and best formation for enchantress is the meta right now, the oldschool 2-1-2, well untouchable is nerfed into only slowing 20 aspd at level 1 so you need someone to back you up.
Enchantress is one of the best off lane hero to harass the carry, untouchable can make enemy creep almost can't hit you when you aggro them, if you have good time in laning phase and you get level 6 earlier than the carry then it will be such a nightmare for enemy carry hero, you can even kill them easily if they use squishy hero like juggernaut, remember impetus goes through spell immunity.
Skill 2 enchant after buff become one of the most annoying debuff for enemy well its because in lower bracket almost nobody using enchantress and they don't know if enchant can debuff ethereal, power ups (haste & double damage), and even GUARDIAN ANGEL.
For skill leveling 1-18, i mostly use: 1-3-1-2-1-4-1-3-3-talent-2-4-2-3-2-talent-4.
when clash happen, don't rush to the front of your team formation, no matter what happen especially if they have good nuker like lion and lina. Stay at back and harass your enemy with your impetus, don't rush using your skill 2 if your team have good range disabler, remember your enchant can debuff enemy buffs so use it wisely. And if someone run after you don't panic, use skill 2 first, then if you have pike, use pike on him then hit him right immediately, if your enemy is stupid you can even kill him (in my situation anti mage blink to me, so i use skill enchant to him then use pike and hit him immediately, luckily it was in daytime so i have wide sight area for hitting him from far away)
Well i actually just giving additional information because you've already given most useful information about enchantress by someone who answer right after you posted this, but i sometimes use drum because enchantress is good for push especially you can enchant creeps or catapult so you can destroy tower faster.
I personally like treads then lance/pike, ags, mkb and moon shard. If you have an extra slot I throw in a blight stone for -2 armor. If your other cores/carries hold their own, this build absolutely destroys jugg, sniper, am, axe, invoker, pudge...like it embarrasses them late game
Here is an example of where I dumpstered invoker mid with enchantress Pos 2 and their whole team crumbled around that.

Starting to play this hero a bit and she seems like in the right situation she can be very powerful. Strong laning and ability to be useful through mid-late game with high DPS from impetus and a six (6!) second slow. However she is also very vulnerable to being bursted at all stages of the game, being weak against popular heroes such as PA, Pudge, Zeus and Tinker.
Does anyone have advice for playing this hero, when to pick, strategies, item builds, etc? Thanks.
