LifeStealer is a strong hero, which is most often taken on the first position. Was undeservedly forgotten in past patches, but appeared in this one, and is a very popular pick in many drafts. He can keep the tempo well, and also does not slump much in leit, creating competition for the strongest kerry. We suggest breaking this hero down a bit more, as well as going over his main abilities.

Pros:

• A strong line, from which it is hard to kick him out;
• Has a passive debuff that helps to survive on laning;
• Is a counterpick to many enemy kerries, as well as a hero with strength as his main attribute;
• Holds tempo well;
• Doesn't sag in leit;
• Has a strong escape, as well as the ability to subseize allies.

Cons:

• Hard to gambecheck a lost line, due to poor farming potential;
• Contrived by some heroes;
• Hard to play against ranged heroes.

Rage 

An ability that grants LifeStealer a built-in BCB. Gives immunity to magic for a certain amount of time, as well as dispelling negative effects from you. Works very strongly, especially with the purchase of BCB, making you immune to magic for more than 12 seconds.

Feast 

A useful ability that makes it easy to stand a line. It gives you a built in vampirism that restores health on a percentage basis. The more HP the enemy has, the more you recover. It also adds extra damage to you.

Ghoul Frenzy 

Another passive ability that allows you to slow down the enemy as well as deal intermittent damage. On top of that it increases the speed of your attacks. Allows you to make you kills on a line, and dominate it.

Infest 

The hero climbs into the selected ally, significantly increasing their XP, as well as quickly restoring yours. When pressed again, the Lifestealer climbs out of the target, dealing magic damage to everyone around him. Allows you to set up the so-called "Infest Bomb", with which you can quickly fox an inconvenient enemy hero. You can also save allies who are on low HP, preventing them from dying.

Game Actions

It is very important for a Lifestealer to stand his line well and then go snowball the map. There are many types of builds, each suited to a specific game situation. The most commonly purchased item is Armlet, which gives you a lot of stats and damage. It is good for beginners, so it is recommended to play.
