13. Expulsion

15-24. Attribute Bonus
25. Dark Rift
Brief explanation to skill builds:
1. Firestorm is a no brainer. It's your farming tool that gets you all the items. It helps you farm from far far away, preventing you from getting harrased. Max it out ASAP.
2. piT of malice is maxed next. This is a wonderful disabling skill which works on even hero that is magically imuned. In simple terms, It means that even hero with avatar/BKB will be entangled.
3. Expulsion is a nice skill which works on corpses. The more corpses there is, the more damage and stuns. We leave this out till mid game as during the early stage of the game,Firestorm is sufficient for our farming.
4. Dark Rift is taken till level 2. Level 1 allows u to only tele to buildings. Level 2 allows u to tele to ally units, while the difference between Level 2 and Level 3 is only a 1 second delay.
C. Item Build
Recommended Item Build:
Starting CORE items:
NOTHING !!!
Yes. NOTHING !!!
1. Void Stone
2. Ring Of Health
3. Ultimate Orb
4. Shoe
5. Tele scroll
Late Game FINAL Items:-
1. Battle Fury (if carrier) / Linken (if tanker)
2. Power Treads / Boots of Traveller
3. Skadi
4. Mekasm / Assault Cuirass
5. Heart (if tanking) / Buriza (if carrying)
6. Tele scroll
Explanation to item builds:
1. Perseverence is for you to stay on your lane to keep farming up to your items. It is your MAIN item regardless of whichever path (tanker/carry/support) you are taking.
2. BOT / Power treads, i personally prefer BOT. If your team mates is holding up their lanes well, you can get your power treads, but if u are ganking around (which u should be, because of your 3 powerful spells), then BOT is the one to get.
3. The first Ultimate Orb is basically for you to be able to perform better in ganks, because with the orb, it adds a bit of everything to your stats. You will regen hp/mana faster, u will have a bigger mana pool to better perform in ganks, and u will be a bit beafier to take on a little bit more damage. So, It's a must.
4. After the core item, (which is your Perseverence, Boots and Ulti Orb), you can then decide on what final items you wanna have based on the judgement of the progress of the game.
This is the item build which i usually have ==>

D2. Walkthrough by game stages:
D2a. Early game: (Level 1-9)
This is the most important part of the game. Once u understand how pit lord is being played, you will be good to go.
Pit Lord is a strength hero, which has good hp.
He has 4 active spells which needs to use a lot of mana at an instance.
Before we can get to there, we need fast mana regen to buy all the items that help us achieve the above.
With that, we buy NOTHING when the game starts.
and your first item will be a VOID STONE.
After u have got your void stone, u can practically cast firestorm (level 2 onwards) on every creep wave.
If you are against nukers, or u are solo against 2 heroes, then just stand behind far far away, enough to get experience, and some creep kill. Just play safe, and farm from afar using your Firestorm. That's all that u have to keep in mind right now.
No rambo stuff. No Spartan stints.
Just Firestorm, and farm for your next item ==> Ring Of Health.
D2b. Mid game: (level 10-14)
Mid game starts when u have got your Perseverence, Ulti Orb and Boots (plus some tele scrols)
When u have got these items, U can (and should) go and help out in ganks.
Why u should be ganking? It's simple.
Because all your spells are for ganking.
Your Pit Of Malice is a wonderful disabling skill.
Your spells are all low in cooldown.
Your Firestorm / Expulsion is painful.
You just should help out in ganks and help your carrying teams mates so that they can farm to get better items.
How to gank?
1. Cast your firestorm + Expulsion + Pit Of Malice first.
2. You have to make your own judgement call on which spell to cast first. Difference situation calls for different combination.
3. After you've cast all your spells, just walk in and whack.
4. When your spells has cooldown, Rinse and Repeat step 1-3 again.
Easy, aint it?
All you have to keep in mind is,
ALWAYS CAST YOUR SPELLS FIRST BEFORE U RUN IN and engage with the enemies.
D2c. Late game: (level 15-25)
Now is the decision to whether be a tanker, or a damage dealer.
It's all up to you, and up to your game progress.
If your team needs a tanker, and doesn't have a strength hero, you have not much choice but to tank for them. For this, I would suggest that after your CORE items, you should quickly build up some defensive high end items.
Whenever i say CORE items, it means a Perseverence, Boots and an Ulti Orb.
With the Ulti Orb and Perseverence, you should be able to cast all your active spells at one short, and even some more once they are cooldown (if u manage your mana well).
So if u wanna be a tanker, and if the opposing team has a lot of spell caster, get a HEART, if they have more dps heroes, then get a Mekasm / Assault Cuirrass, depends on which item your team hasn't gotten yet.
But, if your team is doing well, and do not need a tanker, you can be a damage dealer then. Finish up your Perseverence to a BattleFury, and make your Ulti Orb into a Skadi.
With the Skadi in hand, u are practically a semi tank, while at the same time, capable of dishing out some respectable damage.
E. Conclusion
Pit is a very easy hero to use. Let's make an easy summary here:-
1. Early stage, concentrate on your farming with FIRESTORM CONSERVATIVELY.
2. Mid stage, AGGRESIVELY help out in GANKS.
3. End stage, push..... and always remember .............
4. ALWAYS CAST ALL YOUR SPELLS FIRST BEFORE U RUN IN and engage with the enemies.
