Hero Strategy
Secure ranged creeps with Fade Bolt and hit opponents at the same time.
When fighting next to pillars or a cliff, consider using Telekinesis to leave an enemy hero stranded on top of it.
In the mid game, get hold of the wave clearing spell when the game slows down to be able to farm and kill creep waves.
When not much is happening, push out side lanes without even showing yourself.
Be patient in the fights and make sure to steal a high impact spell.
Spam your Fade Bolt by using it on the first target you see, rather than keeping it for a KS.
Use your level 4 Fade Bolt on the ranged creep first to one shot it while killing creep waves.
Look to inform your teammates when you cast abilities like Supernova or Macropyre so they dont get confused or run away from the AoE.
Counter Strategy
Avoid picking heroes with huge ultimates against Rubick such as Enigma, Magnus and Tidehunter
Avoid trading hits with Rubick while under effect of Fade Bolt as your attack damage is reduced
Rubick's Telekinesis can be broken by using Force Staff on affected ally
Be mindful about spell usage so that you don't give away good spells to Rubick. Rubick is generally looking for stunning and high damage abilities
Lotus Orb is an effective item against Rubick as his damage and control spells are targetable.
Look to target Rubick in fights as he is a very squishy hero. If you manage to kill him you don't have to worry about spellcasting anymore
