MAGEBANE'S GUIDE
Introduction
Magebane is an extremely mobile hero who preys on enemy casters. His Flash allows him to pick out and chase down squishy, magic based foes and take them out quickly and efficiently. Mana Combustion makes Magebane a tough hero to face in lane, as any harass hits he puts out also drain mana and deal bonus damage. Mana Rift is a great finisher.

Abilities
How to play
Magebane comes with built-in mobility and damage output. Despite this, he is very item dependent as he needs boosts to survivability and additional damage if he's to carry a game. Your laning phase should be focused on farming, as well as landing free hits on enemies to keep their mana low. An early Runed Cleaver can really amplify your income as you can mow down waves of creeps. If you cannot rush Runed Cleaver quickly (~15 minutes), finish Helm of the Black Legion before Runed Cleaver. In the midgame, your early laning phase items should make you quite difficult to kill for enemy teams. The combination of your tanking items and Flash will make you a frustrating target, so use this to your advantage as you farm and gank aggressively. In the lategame, use your high survivability and damage output to pick off weak links and snowball.
