7.41c (Core) Mid Lane

By dotacoach.gg

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Puck:

Use Illusory Orb immediately as you load into the game to place Observer Ward quickly.
Use Illusory Orb and Waning Rift to secure creep last hits and damage enemy heroes at the same time.
You can disjoint ranged attacks and spell projectiles with Phase Shift and Illusory Orb. Disjointing spells and right clicks with Phase Shift also gives you HP and mana through your innate.
Illusory Orb gives you an upper hand when it comes to rune control and helps with stacking from distance.
Illusory Orb provides vision on its path so you can check for pillar Observer Ward and scout Roshan pit.
Play actively and look around for possibilities to gank. Make use of your hero`s mobility and elusiveness.
When not much is happening, push out the side lanes with your nukes.
Puck is amazing at gap-closing, especially with Blink Dagger. Prioritize killing backliners and supports in fights.
Pick up Aghanim`s Shard in the mid game to make even more use of damage items like Parasma and Mjollnir every time you cast Phase Shift.

Main skill and item combo order: Blink Dagger => Dream Coil => Attack => Waning Rift => Illusory Orb => Phase Shift => Ethereal Jaunt

Laning phase: High (2.1 out of 3)
