General
- If laning, be sure to harass Harassment is the process of damaging enemy heroes during the laning phase to keep them from farming, to gain lane dominance or to drop their health to prepare for a kill. Strong harassment can force enemies with Ion Shell by placing it on their melee creeps (for melee heroes) or ranged creeps (for ranged heroes). Additionally, placing Ion Shell on the second allied melee creep to arrive at the creep line is a good way to push the lane as well as create a moving damage-dealing creep that chases enemy heroes. This can make it hard for the enemy carry to last hit, as they have to do it under the tower and while taking damage from creep aggro and ion shell at the same time.
- Dark Seer can farm rapidly in lane and jungle thanks to Ion Shell. To jungle, stack the hard and medium camps several times, and then place an ion shell on one of the lesser creeps. The shell should clear out the whole camp(including the stacks). Do this repeatedly to accumulate a large sum of gold. Be that as it may, be sure to stay within experience range.
Vacuum
- Due to Vacuum being able to clump up a large group of enemies fast, and Ion Shell`s high damage output considering enemies are affected by it for a longer while, they permit Dark Seer to synergize extremely well with heroes such as Enigma Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Enigma 17 + 2.4 14 + 1 20 + 3.4 Level Base and Jakiro Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Jakiro 25 + 2.6 10 + 1.2 28 + 2.8 Level Base . Make sure to cast these abilities with Black Hole and Ice Path/ Macropyre/ Liquid Fire to maximize AoE damage and maybe turn the tide in battle.
- AoE spells, especially those that require positioning, greatly benefit from Vacuum, as it can place all of them together to ensure a hit.
Ion Shell
- When chasing, self-cast Ion Shell and run next to the enemy without attacking, using Surge if the enemy is faster. Even better, use surge to body-block enemy heroes (that is, get in front of them to hinder their movement) and deal damage with basic attacks without moving out of range of the Ion Shell.
Surge
- Surge can be cast on the team`s Animal Courier Item Old Abilities Changelogs Animal CourierB Losing the courier is punishable by death. Cost100 Bought FromConsumables Active Deploy Courier Charges 1 Disassemble? No Alert allies? No Recipe The Animal Courier , allowing it to get out of danger, or finish its delivery to allies faster.
- While normally pushing the lane is a bad thing, Surge and his high Strength Strength is the attribute that grants health and health regeneration. For each point of strength a hero gets: 20 Health 0.06 Health regeneration Additionally, strength heroes also get 1 attack damage per strength point. To gain makes it hard for the enemies to lock down Dark Seer and kill him.
Wall of Replica
- Using Vacuum on enemy heroes to send them through Wall of Replica creates illusions of them, as well as slowing them.
