Guiguzi

• Drone form lets him scout and harass without exposing his real position.
• Ultimate slows and reveals a large area, setting up ganks.
• Strong disengage tools keep him alive when dived.

• Passive · Strategic Arts — After 3 seconds out of enemy vision, his spirit returns to his staff and his next basic attack is empowered for magic damage and a slow in an area; using it while visible to enemies increases the cooldown to 10 seconds.
• 1 · Oracle · Concealment — Wraps himself in stealth for 4 seconds, gaining 40% move speed and dealing magic damage plus a defense shred to every enemy he touches (once per target); the stealth breaks if he deals damage another way.
• 2 · Spirit of All Things — Summons spirits around himself that deal magic damage per half-second for 2 seconds, then converge for burst magic damage, pulling and stunning enemies hit; hitting a hero grants him and nearby allies a shield.
• Ultimate · Oracle · Mist Veil — Wraps himself and nearby allies in stealth after a 1-second delay, granting 30% move speed and vision of the closest enemy hero, for up to 4 seconds; stealth breaks immediately on attacking, casting, or taking a negative effect.

Build 1: Fleetfoot Boots → Vanguard · Redemption → Glacial Storm → Witch's Cloak → Warlord's Plate → Sage's Sanctuary

Tip: Warlord's Plate's out-of-combat healing suits a support who has to walk up close to land his crowd control, saving him a lot of time recalling to heal.

Build 2: Guardian Emblem → Fleetfoot Boots → Glacial Storm → Witch's Cloak → Ominous Omen → Sage's Sanctuary

Tip: Guiguzi needs high move speed to close the gap for his control, and his stealth makes great use of Fleetfoot Boots to sneak in on enemies.

Inscriptions: Nightmare, Sacrifice, Hunt

Tip: His skills hit surprisingly hard — ability power and magic penetration secure early gank damage, Hunt boosts his roaming speed and damage, and Sacrifice's cooldown reduction lets him go invisible more often.
