Brief explanation to skill builds:

1. Waveform is your bread and butter spell. Max it up As fast as possible, Basically, Waveform is you main skill for:-
- Ganking
- Escaping
- Farming
- Chasing
- Harrassing
... but one note though, the mana consumption is pretty taxing during the earlier stage of game, so, use it wisely.

2. attribUte Bonus is taken during early game, because that's what you need, for the extra:-
- Mana for spamming your Waveform
- extra hp for survivability
- extra damage for easier last hit.

3. adaptive StrikE is not taken at early stage because your agility stat is not high enough to maximize the skill's potential damage. This skill is take at around mid game when u already got your 1st core item, which is the Manta Style. Once you've got it, your agility is already high enough, which should be able to maximize your damage output from adaptive StrikE. Use this spell to:-
- finish off fleeing hero
- interrupt spell channeling heroes (it has an embedded stun)
- push back in coming chasing enemy when you are fleeing. (it has an embedded pushback)

4. morph(D) , actually I personally DO NOT up this skill, not until I find myself having TOO HIGH hp. Take this skill only when you find yourself need to swap some stats between Agility <=> Strength. Normally, I'll only up this skill one level, when I find myself having too much strength, and need to swap it into Agility to give more Damage power. Use it to:-
- convert Strength to Agility when you have too much hp
- convert Agility to Strength when you are fleeing from ganks and are about to die. (Right click on the spell to auto convert Agility to Strength)

5. Replicate is a very powerful spell. This is what makes you such a die hard hero. Use this spell to:-
- Cast it right before a big fight, and control the image to somewhere safe. If the gank fails, immediately morph yourself to safety.
- Do not use the image to help in your attack. The damage is too meager. It's better to use it as an escape mechanism.
- Do not use this image to lure enemy in wasting the spells. You have your manta image to do that job.
- Do cast it on your ally, and control that image to follow your team in push one lane, while you pushing another lane. When your team needs help or anything, you can always immediately morph near them for additional help in the gank or bringing down towers.

 

D2. Walkthrough by game stages:

D2a. Early game:

Go to any lane. Any lane will do fine.
You do not need a solo lane.
All you need to remember during early stage of game before you get your Perserverence is :-
- Play safe .... play very very safe
- main highest utmost priority is to FARM and STAY ALIVE.
- use your Waveform sparingly. It consumes very high mana.
- farm, and farm, and farm, until you get your Perserverence and Shoe.

D2b. Mid game:

Once you've got your Perseverence and Shoe, you can start participate and help out in ganks more often. When any of your team mates are in trouble, teleport there, and help them out. It will be very helpful if you are able to kill the enemies in those ganks and gain an upper hand in your overall team levels and golds. Here's the role that you have to play during mid games:-
- be a bit more agressive and daring once you have your perseverence
- Do help out in ganks whenever needed.
> Remember. Replicate every time before u enter a battle. It saves you a lot when the gank fails.
- Farming is still your utmost priority.
- Your goal is to get your Manta Style as fast as possible.



D2c. Late game:

This will be the time when you've got your Manta Style.
Basically, you will be almost invincible, if not fully invincible during this stage (if you've farmed hard, and help out in some successful ganks during mid games)
Remember the steps during pushing/ganks:-
- Replicate an ally, and move that image to a safety place.
- wait for your team's initiator to enter the battle.
- when the enemy spells are almost all out, Waveform into the middle of the battle ground. Hopefully u get to damage most of the enemy heroes.
- immediately  activate your Manta Style and start dishing out huge amount of damage.
- and don't forget to morph with your Replicate once u feel that the tide is going against your team.

Summary

That will be all with morphling. Just remember:-

Early game
Farm and stay alive

Mid game
Get your Manta Style as fast as possible,

Ganking
1. Replicate one of your ally, and move the image to safety.
2. Wait for enemy spells, then Waveform in the battle.
