Any tips on how to use Crystal Maiden's ultimate effectively?

[パンダ（Φ ᆺ Φ）]

its just whenever i use the ultimate skill of this hero, most of them got cancelled by enemies or it didn't hit them very much despite the huge range.. or i die first if i tried to blink in the middle of the enemy heroes before i do any significant damage to them.

it seems my timing is always off when i use her ulti, any tips on how to use it effectively in a team fight? thanks!

Blink dagger to high ground where the enemies can't see you or use a bkb. CM's ult is pretty hard to get the full use out of unless setup perfectly.

You can't just blink in there and ult...
Either blink on high ground, as Dubbin suggested, or bkb / glimmercape.
You can pull a full ulti off if your team peels for you as well.

Get glimmer cape, it doesn't stop channeling abilities like ulti (to my knowledge)

You can also try and make use of tree juke spots to try and get it off for longer.

- RUSH Blink (eat some big jungle creeps with frost bite)
- don't forget to support your team with wards asap
- always blink into trees or on high ground
- don't skill lvl 3 ultimate with level 16
- get BKB (or a glimmer if you have a bad game)
- get aghs in late game, otherwise you will become absolutely useless

this works pretty good, CM is my main hero with 350 matches and over 60% winrate.

Blink (best one), Glimmer Cape/Shadow Blade.

No but be smart on your placement, its also better to use your ulti when a enemy hero try to escape a team fight ( or enemy heroes might be scared to go near you) then not using it at all. I have seen to many CM users not using her ultimat.
