Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the video. I'm super open to feedback, but be nice! Subscribe for more videos... cheers! My Dotabuff: http://dotabuff.com/players/30428541 Another awesome reddit thread on Xin + ShadowBlade: http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/1qr7qn/testing_xinember_spirits_fist_and_shadow_blade/ -Quadron Script for Video for those of you who prefer to read things: Here What's up guys? My name is Quadron. I'm primarily making this video for the Dota 2 subreddit, which if you haven't checked it out and you're a dota 2 player, you definitely should go check it out. I'm making this video because I really just want to contribute to the Dota 2 community in general and also to that subreddit, so without very ado, let's get into the video. Today, we are starting with Ember spirit. When I pick ember spirit, people frequently tell me that the hero sucks, and that I should have picked a better hero. Well, I am here today to tell you that the hero does not suck. The truth is most of you simply suck at playing him, as can be seen here. Just for reference and credibility, here is a screenshot of my last 20 games with ember spirit. 1) It is possible to use all of ember spirits abilities while using Slight of Fist. While many of you know you can use searing chains while jumping around, but did you know you can also activate flame guard, throw out fire remnants, and jump to them while slashing the enemy to bits. If you time it correctly, you teleport from your starting location and arrive at the fire remnant instantly. If your ulty form travels there before slight of fist is done, however, you will fail miserably and not jump to the ulty location but will be sucked back to your starting location for SoF. For the most possible pawnage, I recoomend practicing this in wtf mode until you get used to it. Comboing these abilities allows ember spirit to kit his enemies and move to random locations around the teamfight, making locating him far more difficult. This also allows him to escape when he ordinarily would die to slows or being surrounded by the enemy. Here you can see he gets gailed, but is able to use the neautal creeps to spawn a remnant far enough away to escape. 2) The second tip isn't as game changing, but you might find some utility from it. While in ulty form, zooming from place to place, it is also possible to use searing chains on enemies you pass by, though it does not seem possible to use slight of fist while in ulty form. 3) The last tip is that shadow balde is currently one of the most cost effective items on Ember spirit, especially when combined with the proper items. The 150 bonus damage is applied to all units under slight of fist, but only if the slight of fist is cast during the fade time to invisibility. I do not know if this is intended, but is works extremely well allowing you to combo your flame guard with slight of fist, then burn heros with flame guard while invisible, getting another 150 bonus damage on the next right click, and allowing you to go immediately into another slight of fist (at least until the enemy team gets smart enough to get detection). I recommend building a desolator and battle fury after shadowblade because the armor reduction and cleave both stack with both the 120 bonus damage from slight of fist as well as the 150 damage from SB, allowing you to do a guaranteed 270 more damage for cleave than normally possible with this amount of gold. That's it for this video. I really want this series to be driven by the community. What advanced tips do you know that are obscure but really useful? Please post them in the comments down below and I will feature you if I use it in the next video. Cheers and good luck in all your future matches. Don't forget to subscribe for more dota 2 videos.

much better is dagger than shadow blade
-
u can use searing chain while doing sleight of fist
-
you can use sleight of fist during your ultimate you just need a good timing :) Its a very advanced technic but its actually doable! (i'm in the top 800 ember world according to Dbuff) i can make a vid about the trick if people are interested in!

Shadow Blade WTF
-
love this staff really expect more tips for other heros
-
Btw, you can Sleight of Fist when travelling with ult, you just have to time it right... its really hard to pull off tho. A potential move is to use two remants (one aggressively placed the other defensively), ult to the second spirit (the safe one) and during the whole travel distance between first and second spirit, you can potentially Sof + Items + Searing anytime. I dont know if its any good, you do waste two spirits.. but the potential outplays and in combination with rapier + bf + crit could be an awesome intitiation (safest play ever if you can land it, always invulnerable)

i think you should on the item of ember ie octa or tarrasq so he can tank easy
-
mana boots ember rofl
-
Watching this in 2016 and laugh when ember is said to be bad
-
Better buy bottle than arcane boots
-
Fuck Shadow Blade Its Only For Pussy's
-
Ember Spirit does not suck, if you get a small loan of at least 2 battlefury's.
-
Nice mechanical info, but I'd avoid the strategy of shadowblade mana boots simply because of the low mmr of the player. What's you can get away with at 3k may punish you as you reach higher levels of mmr. (If you are wondering why I assume it's 3k, it's due to his dotabuff where he gets both normal, high and very high skill level, above around 4k you only have very high skill)

very nice tips for beginner, tho its outdated, just some correction for update: casting activate remnant while you are in fist will directly stop the fist and let you move to the position. I am pleased to see all your arcane boots in the screenshots, most people always talk bout phase boots on ember while they don't realize the real ember usually need to be active jumping in and out. I have long know sb will give bonus damage in fade time for fist but I haven't really try, perhaps gonna give it a try in game coz it gives better chance on fleeing and chasing
-
Is it possible to shift queue the jumping to the remnant part?
-
Nice tips
-
could you upload you ember spirit game. it would help a lot!! Thank you
-
Is this fixed?
-
getting skadi at late game is useful for hp and mana.. its better to get a maelstorm and later a mjollnir. push lane easy and fast with SOF. plus those chain lightning in team fights sure hurts. for beginners getting BKB works well
-
Does this still work
