Hero Strategy

Use Wave of Terror to secure ranged creeps and harass the opponents at the same time.

You can stack multiple camps at the same time and help clear them with Wave of Terror.

Wave of Terror provides vision so you can scout pillars for wards and Roshpit.

The most important thing in the fights is to be ready to swap an ally in trouble or an opponent out of position.

Vengeful Spirit enables early Roshan kill due to Wave of Terror, Vengeance Aura and possibly minus armor items.

Pick up Aghanims Shard at the 15 minute mark to stun multiple heroes in teamfights.

Counter Strategy

Focus Vengeful Spirit in the fights as she provides saves and empowers her Cores.

Armor items are great against Vengeful Spirit's Wave of Terror and Vengeance Aura.

Linken's Sphere and a well timed Lotus Orb are great against Magic Missile and Nether Swap.

If Vengeful bought Aghanim's Scepter, then you should ignore her in fights.
