Key strategic elements to consider when playing Invoker:

Quas Exort: Sunstrike opponents fountain to check opponents items and infer lanes.
Quas Exort: Look around the map as much as you can for potential Sunstrike kills.
Quas Exort: You can use Sunstrike here and there to secure ranged creep last hit.
Quas Wex: Use Tornado and EMP to secure a last hit or deny a creep, and burn opponents mana at the same time.
Quas Exort: Use Forged Spirits to control runes.
Quas Wex: Control active runes and look for opportunities to rotate once you have Boots of Speed and Spirit Vessel.
Quas Exort: Avoid rotating and running around the map. Instead, look to farm, pressure the enemy mid lane tower, and look for Sun Strike kills from afar.
Quas Wex: After ganking few times with Spirit Vessel, consider going back for Hand of Midas if the game slows down.
When not much is happening, you can easily split push with Forge Spirits, or by dumping spells like Meteor, Tornado, and Deafening Blast from fog.
Don`t forget to use Alacrity on yourself or a right clicking ally in fights. Works well with Cold Snap.
Use Forged Spirits or Sunstrike to scout if opponents are missing.
Invoker is great at enabling team to take Roshan early due to Alacrity, Forged Spirits and Cold Snap.
Aghanim's Scepter is a huge power spike, especially the Exort facet, if you have a setup within the team, such as Chronosphere.
