+60 Untouchable Slow	20	+15% Magic Resistance
+50 Damage	15	+8 Nature`s Attendants Wisps

Notes:

General

• Enchantress is effective in all stages of the game.
• Building Force Staff For the cosmetic item equipped by Crystal Maiden, see Force Staff (Equipment)   Item   Changelogs     Force StaffB Allows you to manipulate others, for good or evil. Cost2250 (400) Bought FromCaster Active Force is a very good choice on Enchantress; as aside from the intelligence it gives her it can be used to put some distance between her and her enemy (thus empowering Impetus); or even if very well-timed to use it on Impetus` target while Impetus itself is mid-air; thus hugely increasing its damage. Note however that this will make escaping easier for the enemy if your very powerful Impetus does not kill them.
  • Also a teamwork and combo with an allied Pudge`s Meat Hook can also maximize your Impetus to its full damage when also combined with Force Staff.
• Enchant allows the Enchantress to micromanage just like Chen. Micromanaging is a crucial ability to master for heroes like Enchantress and Chen.
• With Aghanim`s Scepter   Item   Upgraded Abilities   Old Abilities   Lore   Changelogs     Aghanim s Scepter The scepter of a wizard with demigod-like powers.

Cost1350 Bought FromCommon Active Switch Attribute Bonus +25 Attack speed+45 Movement speed Disassemble? and Urn of Shadows   Item   Changelogs     Urn of ShadowsB Contains the ashes of powerful demons. Cost875 (310) Bought FromSupport Active Soul Release Charges 0 Bonus +2 Strength+2 Agility+2 Intelligence+2 Armor+1 Mana regeneration Disassemble? No Alert are highly recommended for Enchantress.

Untouchable

• Untouchable makes Enchantress nearly immune to basic attacks, but be careful, she still has a low health pool and can be easily focused down by spells.
• A few levels invested into Untouchable will slow Roshan For Roshan as he appears in holiday events, see Roshan (Diretide 2012) and Roshan (Diretide 2013) Roshan Ancient Jungle Creep Level 30 Health 5500 Health regeneration 20 Armor 15 Magic resistance 55% Attack damage 65 `s attacks to a crawl, making Enchantress an ideal tank against Roshan.

Enchant

• With an Octarine Core   Item   Changelogs     Octarine CoreS At the core of spellcraft are spectrums only the very gifted can sense. Cost5900 Bought FromCaster Passive Cooldown Reduction, Spell Lifesteal Bonus +25 Intelligence+425 Health+425 Mana Disassemble? , Enchantress can have up to 8 units enchanted with Enchant at a time.

Nature`s Attendants

• A Soul Ring   Item   Changelogs     Soul RingB A ring that feeds on the souls of those who wear it. Cost750 Bought FromCommon Active Sacrifice Bonus +3 Health regeneration+50% Mana regeneration Disassemble? No Alert allies? can be useful for Enchantress; its active ability provides most or all of the mana needed for Nature`s Attendants, allowing her to heal effectively 250/450/650/850 health for effectively 0/0/5/20 mana. The ring can later be built into a Bloodstone See the in-game item. For the Beta memorial gems, see Bloodstone of the Ancestor, Bloodstone of the Precursor, and Bloodstone of the Founder.   Item   Changelogs     Bloodstone The Bloodstone s .
• Her heal is very powerful in surviving ganks, as it can be used before getting stunned and if she`s the only target, only heavy nukers are capable of killing her.

Impetus

• Buying Mana Regeneration Items like Orchid Malevolence   Item   Changelogs     Orchid MalevolenceB A garnet rod constructed from the essence of a fire demon. Cost4075 (775) Bought FromCaster Active Soul Burn Bonus +25 Intelligence+30 Attack speed+150% Mana regeneration+30 Attack damage , Scythe of Vyse   Item   Changelogs     Scythe of Vyse The most guarded relic among the cult of Vyse, it is the most coveted weapon among magi. Cost5700 Bought FromCaster Active Hex Bonus +10 Strength+10 Agility+35 , and Bloodstone See the in-game item. For the Beta memorial gems, see Bloodstone of the Ancestor, Bloodstone of the Precursor, and Bloodstone of the Founder.   Item   Changelogs     Bloodstone The Bloodstone s are helpful for Enchantress since Impetus burns a lot of mana, even if you have a lot of mana regeneration.
• The attack range increases of Dragon Lance   Item   Changelogs     Dragon LanceB The forward charge of the wyvern host grants no quarter.

No Recipe fully stack with that of her Aghanim`s Scepter   Item   Upgraded Abilities   Old Abilities   Lore   Changelogs     Aghanim s Scepter The scepter of a wizard with demigod-like powers. Cost4200 Bought FromCaster Passive Ultimate Upgrade Bonus +10 Strength+10 Agility+10 Intelligence+175 upgrade, increasing her attack range to a total of 870. Looking at how Impetus deals damage, this is a significant boost to her damage output. The item also gives strength and attack speed, both of which are needed attributes for Enchantress.
  • Impetus deals 82.5/110/137.5 damage per attack, considering attacking a stationary target at max attack range. Dragon Lance increases that to 102/136/170, Aghanim`s Scepter to 111/148/185, and both together to 130.5/174/217.5 damage.
• Remember that Impetus scales very well into late game, especially with attack speed.
