Dota 2 - Weaver Build Guide

BIO
The fabric of creation needs constant care, lest it grow tattered; for when it unravels, whole worlds come undone. It is the work of the Weavers to keep the fabric tight, to repair worn spots in the mesh of reality. They also defend from the things that gnaw and lay their eggs in frayed regions, whose young can quickly devour an entire universe if the Weavers let their attention lapse. Skitskurr was a master Weaver, charged with keeping one small patch of creation tightly woven and unfaded. But the job was not enough to satisfy. It nagged him that the original work of creation all lay in the past; the Loom had done its work and travelled on. He wanted to create rather than merely maintain-to weave worlds of his own devising. He began making small changes to his domain, but the thrill of creation proved addictive, and his strokes became bolder, pulling against the pattern that the Loom had woven. The guardians came, with their scissors, and Weaver's world was pared off, snipped from the cosmic tapestry, which they rewove without him in it. Skitskurr found himself alone, apart from his kind, a state that would have been torment for any other Weaver. But Skitskurr rejoiced, for now he was free. Free to create for himself, to begin anew. The raw materials he needed to weave a new reality were all around him. All he had to do was tear apart this old world at the seams.

INTRODUCTION
Weaver in one kind of carry in DotA. His best times is in the mid game teamfights. He can move very fast and invisibly and makes enemy's confused and hard to catch him. Not just that, while his HP is reduced he can gain back his HP with reversing the time to when his HP is still full. He also can double his attacks, that makes him can deal lots of damages. That is what makes him a decent carry.

PROS	CONS
Can move very fast and invisible, makes him hard to catch	Squishy
If Hp is reduced, can gain his Hp back.	If enemy have true sight, they can see you. Beware of the true sight (Gem, Sentry etc.)
Decent double attack damage
A good lane controller, easy to harass enemy
A decent chaser, fast movement speed from his invisibility skill

ABILITIES

As the Weavers worked in the fabric of creation, small wormholes allowed them to slip through time to better work their craft.

3. Geminate Attack

Allows Weaver to dispatch two swarms, attacking an enemy twice. The extra attack will not trigger other attack effects (such as critical strike) and overrides Unique Attack Modifiers.

ABILITY: PASSIVE

Skitskurr's relationship with time is somewhat variable, causing his actions to be witnessed - and felt - more than once.
This skill makes you attack twice if this skill is off cooldown. With this skill, you can deal lots of damage with your attack. This is your main carrying skill. With the more damage you have, it will deal more and more damage. And in late game, this skill will be very effective to helps you reach victory.

MANA COST: 150/75/0	COOLDOWN: 60/50/40
ABILITY: NO TARGET

If Skitskurr does not deem the current reality of the world to fit his desires, he simply crawls back in time to right what was wronged.

Use this when your HP is reduced drastically from the full so you will gain your full HP back.

Level 2: Geminate Attack

Level 16: Time Lapse
Level 17-25: Stats

Why take Shukuchi for level 1? You need Shukuchi to escape if enemy wants to get firstblood by killing you.

Why take level 1 of Geminate attack for early game? This skill will deal double attack and makes you easier on lasthitting, harassing, and killing.

Why maxed The Swarm first?  With this skill, you can deal lots of damage in the mid game teamfight because they will not attack your Swarms because they will be focused on the hero. Swarm also useful damaging the escaping enemy.

You should maxed Shukichi and Geminate attack together because this two skills is both important for you. Geminate attack for the damage, and Shukucki for your mobility.

STRATEGY
Early Game
On level 1 you need to take Sukuchi to defend yourself from firstblood attempt from opponents. By going invisible, you can dodge their attacks and save yourself.
Harassing and farming is your two main priorities for the early game. You can harass enemies using Sukuchi, normal attack, or The Swarm. By harassing opponents, they will be uncomfortable on the lane and can't last hits properly. And also if you are good enough, they will be killed or at least will retreat and makes yourself get the easy farms.
Try to last hits every creep in your lane. You need farms, you are the carry, farm some nice items and make yourself strong for the late game.

Mid Game
On mid game, you can keep farming or sometimes helping the team in the teamfight.
Before the teamfights, always cast The Swarm to make them busy with the Swarms. After that, your team's initiator should come to play and initiate with his skill. After that, Use Shukuchi to go through the enemy, and then attack them from the weird position and if someone want to attack you, use Shukuchi again and find other place to attack them. You are doing this while your teammate also attack the enemies. With a play like this, your enemy will be confused of where your position is and you can harass them and kill them.

Remember to keep on farming. If you have lots of golds, try to buy the Radiance and become OWNING!!

Late Game

If you are already OWNING on mid game, then late game will be easy for you. You will have some nice items and ready to destroys all enemy and finish the game. Your strat is still the same, first is to cast The Swarm before the teamfight starts. After that, your team's initiator should come to play and initiate with his skill. After that, Use Shukuchi to go through the enemy, and then attack them from the weird position and if someone want to attack you, use Shukuchi again and find other place to attack them. You are doing this while your teammate also attack the enemies. With a play like this, your enemy will be confused of where your position is and you can harass them and kill them. If tere are enemies that tries to run, cast The Swarm and cast Shukuchi to chase him. And use your high right click damage to finish him.
Remember the pattern, i use the sencntces twice to make sure you are remember the pattern. Just play calmly and be OWNING.
