Shendelzare is a Neutral hero and belongs to the Agility class. This is a very helpful hero to have in a team as it has a cool passive skill that adds damage, a very useful stun and ultimatum that just perfect for ganging opponent heroes.

  Behind every DotA hero there's a story, and this is Vengeful Spirit's one: "once a mighty warden and sister of Mortred, the maniacal laughter of her sibling and the chakram of hers covered in her own just drawn blood is a sight that even today still haunts Shendelzare.

Hearing the laments of her loyal daughter, Elune decided to not forsake her, and she graced her with a new body along with the ability to harness powers from the nether-world and a fighting spirit only owned by those who have met death itself.

Shendelzare now leads the Sentinel's army, fearless of what could come at her, an avatar of the dreadful emotions within the soul of her former self."

This is a more of a support hero, but if feed properly it can carry the entire team. Vengeful Spirit has only 3 active skills and one passive. Let's see what each of them does:

- Magic Missile (shortkey C): will throw a magic missile at an enemy unit, stunning and causing damage. The cast range for this spell is 500. It has four levels dealing 100/175/250 and 325 damage and a stun with 1.45/1.55/1.65 and 1.75 seconds.

- Wave of Terror (shorkey E): Shendelzare lets loose a wicked cry that terrorizes nearby enemy units reducing their armor and their damage. This can also be useful for scouting ahead. The four levels will give armor reduced by 2/3/4/5, damage reduced by 5%/10%/15% and 20%.

This wave also causes minor damage 25/50/75 and 100. It should be one of your first skills. Some of you may not know it, but this will only decreases base damage and that given by the primary attribute of the units.

- Command Aura (shortkey D): Not much to say about this passive skills, just that it will increase nearby units damage with 12%/20%/28%/36% in a range of 900 around Shendelzare.

Increases nearby (within 900 AoE) units' damage. The bonus damage provided by the aura will be based on base damage and primary attribute.

- Nether Swap (shortkey W): Vengeful's ultimate may not seam great to some, but if can prove to be both a lifesaver and a deadly weapon. It instantaneously swaps positions with a target hero so if you want to escape or just want to catch a running foe, this will more then do the job.

It has various ranges depending on the level: 600/900 and 1200. It's cooldown can be reduced to 10 seconds if Scepter item is used. This spell will work also on magic immune units.

Shendelzare passive skill increases her damage a lot so you may consider getting a Helm of Dominator early in the game. Also chasing heroes is her specialty so Phase Boots may come in handy. It's always useful to have Lothar or a Force Staff to ensure a kill.

If guys have some other item combination that can be devastating, don't hesitate to let everyone know in a comment.
