• Magic Wand: this is a good early game item on any hero.
• Infused Raindrop: gives you good mana regeneration and protection against magical damage.

• Drum of Endurance: gives you good stats, mobility, mana regeneration and is excellent for key fighting and pushing moments.
• Medallion of Courage: gives you good mana regeneration and allows your team to kill Roshan more easily. You can also use its active on allies and foes, depending on the situation. Combined with your Wave of Terror ability, it can decrease an enemy’s armor by 13.

Vengeful Spirit Abilities Explained

Magic Missile

Deals 100/175/250/325 magical damage and stuns the target for 1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8 seconds.

Wave of Terror

Hits enemies along a path, dealing 45/70/95/120 physical damage and decreasing armor by 3/4/5/6. The wave travels for 1400 units and has a width of 300 radius.

Vengeance Aura

Passively boosts the attack damage of allied units by 12%/18%/24%/30% in a 1200 radius. Only affects their base damage and that given by their primary attribute. When an allied hero dies while being affected by this aura, an illusion of that hero is created. This illusion lasts for 6 seconds, cannot be targeted, and chases the hero’s killer, attacking it for 100% damage per hit.

Nether Swap

Allows you to swap positions with a target hero. You can use this ability to get an ally (or yourself) out of a difficult position or to put an enemy into a bad position, where your team can kill him. The range of this ability is 700/950/1200.

Aghanim’s Scepter decreases the cooldown of this ability (from 45 to 10 seconds), allows you to swap non-hero units and causes you to spawn an illusion when you die. This illusion can use all of your abilities and lasts until you respawn (unless in dies).

Best Vengeful Spirit Talents

• +15% magic resistance / -1 Wave of Terror armor – The first talent is generally better as it allows you to tank a lot more damage in fights.
• +15 agility / -6s Wave of Terror cooldown – As a support, take the second option. As a core, take the first.
• -5s Magic Missile cooldown / +15% Vengeance Aura damage – At this point of the game enemy heroes will most likely have Black King Bars, so the second talent is more reliable. However, if you anticipate that the game will go on long enough for you to reach level 25, you should probably take the first talent, because it synergizes better with your level 25 talents.
• +400 Magic Missile damage / Magic Missile pierces magic immunity – The second option provides more value at this point of the game, allowing you to stun magic immune enemies.

Skill build

Vengeful Spirit’s mana pool at the start of the game is quite small, so you should generally focus on her passive and low mana cost abilities first. A 1-4-1-1 build is what you should strive for during the first 7 levels. Afterwards you can max out either Magic Missile or Vengeance Aura, putting points in Nether Swap and taking talents whenever you can.

When to pick the hero

Vengeful Spirit is a strong pick whenever you want to decrease your opponents’ armor, improve your team’s physical damage and ability to kill Roshan, or have a reliable save/initiation mechanism for a key hero, either ally or foe.

Keep in mind that Vengeful Spirit’s ultimate ability pierces magic immunity. This makes the hero very good in situations where you need to interrupt a powerful and channeled ultimate ability such as Enigma’s Black Hole.

Conclusion

Vengeful Spirit is a support hero that can improve a line-up’s physical damage, ganking potential, survivability and initiation capabilities. She also makes it easier for her team to kill Roshan.
