By dotacoach.gg
Key strategic elements to consider when playing Shadow Shaman:
  • Make use of your high base damage to secure last hits and denies.
  • A good combo is to use Hex followed by Mass Serpent Ward with Shackles.
  • You can pull nearby neutral or lane creeps to your Mass Serpent Wards after you made a move to get some extra gold.
  • If opponents are farming your Mass Serpent Wards, try to deny individual Serpent Wards with other Serpent Wards if you have the Chicken Fingers facet.
  • Take your time to farm up Aether Lens or Blink Dagger, so that you can cast you spells more easily in fights.
  • Initiate on enemies with your long lasting disables, so your allies can follow-up for a kill.
  • In certain games, Black King Bar can be great to get off a full duration Shackles on a key target on the enemy team.
  • Refresher Orb with the level 25 talent for Mass Serpent Wards in late game allow you to breach high ground and end the game.
  • Use portals to move around the map and setup kills with your lengthy disables.
