Key strategic elements to consider when playing Phantom Lancer:

Bind a bright yellow Doppelganger illusion to make deceptive plays as it takes the same damage as the hero.
Use Spirit Lance to secure ranged creep lasthits.
Toggle on Phantom Rush on early levels so you don`t waste it randomly.
Doppelganger dispels on cast and can be used to disjoint projectile spells and ranged attacks.
Phantom Lancer likes long fights in which you can amass illusions and grind opponents down.
Pick up Aghanim`s Shard around minute 20, especially if you have issues engaging in fights or being behind.

Main skill and item combo order: Spirit Lance => Diffusal Blade => Doppelganger => Attack
