Shadow Fiend

It is said that Shadow Fiend has the spirit of a writer, and truth be told he has a huge number of them. Over the ages he has asserted the souls of writers, ministers, heads, hobos, slaves, thinkers, hoodlums and (normally) saints; no kind of soul breaks him. What he does with them is obscure. Nobody has ever looked into the Abysm whence Shadow Fiend connects like an eel from among astral rocks. Does he eat up them in a steady progression? Does he mount them along the lobbies of an eldritch sanctuary, or pickle the souls in necromantic salt water? Is it true that he is just a manikin, pushed through the dimensional break by a devilish puppeteer? Such is his detestable, so exceptional his emanation of dimness, that no discerning personality may infiltrate it. Obviously, on the off chance that you truly need to know where the stolen souls go, there's one certain approach to discover: Add your spirit to his accumulation. Alternately simply sit tight for Nevermore. 

Shadow Fiend's general detail additions are great contrasted with numerous other readiness saints. With a decent deftness pick up and a great knowledge pick up for a dexterity saint. With a better than average insight pick up and low mana-expense spells, Shadow Fiend can spam Shadowraze pretty frequently and that implies simple glimmer homestead or push. In spite of the fact that Shadow Fiend has a somewhat underneath normal assault scope of 500, he compensates for it in great shot pace. On the off chance that Shadow Fiend has a frail early diversion, he can without much of a stretch homestead up his misfortunes if there's space to do as such. Shadow Fiend can cultivate without an excessive amount of inconvenience on the off chance that he positions himself accurately and has great amusement sense however there are a few shortcomings Shadow Fiend face. 

Early Game Survival 

Shadow Fiend has low beginning wellbeing and underneath normal beginning defensive layer so legends who spam their spells like Skywrath Mage can destroy SF in the event that he doesn't get Bottle around 2 minutes. That implies Shadow Fiend must organize situating to the best of his capacity to make due as well as homestead as proficiently as could be expected under the circumstances. In the event that you concentrate on showing signs of improvement at situating, amusement sense and timing, you will in the long run be that much closer to mastering Shadow Fiend. 

Turn Rate 

As rectified by client HighestHand, Shadow Fiend really has the best turn rate alongside Pheonix. You can read about turn rates here. 

Assault and Cast Animation 

Cast liveliness times are really long so another huge shortcoming is when Shadow Fiend utilizes Shadowraze since his cast movement takes .67 seconds and an extra .04 "filler" activity for you to attempt to scratch off. At the point when Shadow Fiend cast Shadowraze in progression, it takes 2.01 seconds including filler activity to cast. Empowering speedy cast takes out the additional filler liveliness if cast in progression. 

Another issue is Shadow Fiend's assault activity, it's .5 seconds in length without the additional liveliness filler. This implies you truly can't do a "fight" kind of battle particularly against tanky focuses until you have Black King Bar or in case you're truly cultivated in correlation. Having more assault rate will ease this issue so purchasing Power Treads as fast is conceivable is very suggested. 

Base Attack Damage 

Despite the fact that Shadow Fiend later turns into an exceptionally solid legend right-click saint, his initial amusement base harm is one of the most reduced in the diversion. That implies attempting to cultivate against saints who has higher beginning harm than you will be hard and drives you to utilize Shadowraze to cultivate. Until you've sufficiently ingested souls to expand your harm from Necromastery, levels 1-4 will be Shadow Fiend's enormous trial to achievement. 

Taking out (most) Weaknesses 

In the event that you haven't saw, the majority of Shadow Fiend's enormous shortcomings are countervailed by having more things (much like any position 1 center). However furthermore vital is in what request you get the things you require. Shadow Fiend needn't bother with harm things until much later since Shadow Fiend's primary issue is early amusement survival. 

Necromastery offers a huge amount of right-snap harm (72 reward) which means Shadow Fiend's initial right-snap harm is very subject to his survival. This is the reason purchasing an early Black King Bar is very suggested since Shadow Fiend's powerhouse potential is in his initial amusement survival. 

Shadowraze nukes before Shadow Fiend, significance you should be confronting where you need to target. There is a .67 second cast time and a .04 activity delay when throwing a Shadowraze so you likewise need to appropriately time your shots as well. Careful discipline brings about promising results... 

Notes: Take as first aptitude so you can stack souls prior when you land last hits. When you pass on you will lose a large portion of the souls you have with the goal that makes kicking the bucket an all the more rebuffing danger. That implies in the event that you had 36, you're going to need to cultivate around 4 influxes of flunkies. Should be no issue cultivating souls back with Shadowraze however do keep passing to a base. You likewise take the souls of you're inviting cronies and saints when you deny them. Slaughtering a legend gives 12 souls rather than 1 so getting a murder when you're low on souls will significantly lift you go down as far as harm. Having more souls associates with how much physical harm you'll bargain and how much your definitive will hurt.
