Hero Strategy

Avoid feeding eidolons, make sure they multipy and use them to deny even more creeps.

Midnight Pulse destroys trees which can be useful in certain scenarios and to make your farming paths straight.

Once you get Blink Dagger, make use of it immediately before opponents can see it in your inventory.

Be patient in teamfights, avoid showing too early and wait for opponets to clump up for your combo.

When not much is happening, use eidolons to push out sidelanes safely or farm jungle camps.

Counter Strategy

Try to kill eidolons before they multiply.

Be aware of Enigma's Blink Dagger timing.

Avoid fighting in choke spots and clumping up against Blink Dagger into Black Hole combo.

Black Hole has a long cooldown. Look for a fight when it is on cooldown.

Stay back with one hero that can cancel Black Hole or save a core that is being Black Holed.

Having Aegis on a core hero is a protection against Black Hole. Kill Roshan on the first chance.
