His talent lies in his ability to maneuver the fight to his advantage. Hailing from a place he calls `The Land behind the wall,` Dark Seer remains an outsider here—a warrior from a realm beyond the veil of this reality. Once a great general among his people, and a valiant defender of the god-king Damathryx, Dark Seer’s army was wiped out by a much larger force in the final days of the Great Boundaries War. Facing certain defeat, he made one last desperate act: he led the enemy forces into the maze between the walls. At the last moment, just before capture, he crossed over—then sealed the walls forever in an explosive releaseAnnounce of dark energy. When the dust settled, he saw that he had saved his people but found himself blinking at the sun of a different world, with no way to return. Now he is committed to proving his worth as a military strategist, and vows to show that he’s the greatest tactician this strange new world has ever seen.

Starting Items:

• Stout Shield gives you resistance to physical attacks whether you are laning or jungling.
• Tangoes cover your health and mana issues until you build up your early game items.
• Iron Branches is beneficial with its early boost to Dark Seer`s attributes, but also help you build up to a Magic Wand and/or Mekansm later on.
• Soul Ring can be considered as it can be assembled in the side shop and lets your team use the courier more. This is especially important if your midlaner plans on getting a Bottle quickly.

Early Game:

• Soul Ring covers most of your mana issues and allows you to constantly cast your Ion Shell in order to harass your lane opponents and get some last hits.
• Boots of Speed gives mobility for chasing or running away.

Core Items:

• Magic Wand allows you to sustain your presence in fights.
• Arcane Boots increase your mana pool and allow you to give your teammates mana.
• Mekansm adds to Dark Seer`s teamfight effectiveness and increases your durability. Also his decent Intelligence gain means he will generally have enough mana to use the heal.
• Town Portal Scroll allows you to be at any lane for a gank, countergank, or push in seconds.

Situational Items:

• Bottle can also be used to sustain high mana use, if the Dark Seer is put midlane. It has the added benefit of rune control as most runes are useful for Ion Shell harass.
• Crimson Guard can protect your team from enemy carries in teamfights.
• Aghanim`s Scepter effectively allo
