I often play Alleria-Windrunner on the middle lane, but if you on another lane, take shackleshot first. Just in case your team want to do first blood. For Fast game build, you must take focus fire in level 6. Use it to destroy enemy's tower.

2nd Early Item

Alternative Item

• Ghost Staff
• Mjolnir
• Observer's Ward(Support Type)

Before you read the strategy Just read How to use Empty Bottle and another active item tips to ease you.

Choosing Lane

Mid is best choice if you know how to use empty bottle. But if your team want to play fast game, Go to another lane.

Early game's Strategy

Mid Lane Strategy

In early game, Keep focus on farming until you have empty bottle. After you buy empty bottle, buy observer ward and plug into Power Up place(There are many place you can choose to plug in the observer ward, i think you'll know by your own from your experience). Use powershot frequently for farming and scaring your enemy. If half of your enemy's HP has been lost, use shackleshot to kill him. Actually, using shackleshot is easy. Try to positioning yourself on the parallels between your hero, enemy creep, and the enemies hero. (Mid lane have a less trees, so your stun must be between enemies hero and creep)

Another Lane Strategy

When you play fast game with WR inside the team, The pro usually use 3 1 1 strategy(3 heroes on the left/right lane, 1 on mid, and 1 on another lane). Alleria-Windrunner often on solo lane. It ease for her to withstand by two enemies hero. But if not, you can become Semi-Carry for your team, As i said before, Farming is just like piece of cake for Alleria(use Powershot and you got 3 Creeps gold worth) XD

Mid game's Strategy

The Pro often arm Alleria(WR) with Mekansm. For my experience, you could have Mekansm on minute 12(With Boot of Speed and empty bottle, + Maid heroes XD). When your team do ganking, you must join it. It hard for Alleria to kill enemy one by one. And if you have Focus Fire, just use it on tower rather than heroes.

War game's Strategy and Ganking's Strategy

Try to positioning yourself on the parallels between your hero, enemy hero, and the enemies creeps or Trees, then use Shackleshot. Better if the stun is between enemy heroes. When your enemy hitter(Usually Carry type) approaching you, use windrunner, But don't run first. Just hit the enemy with all you have. Use mekansm to save your team's ace. don't use it for helping yourself.

Late game's Strategy

War on the late game determine who the winner. Counter attack is the best choice for you. Why? You have focus fire ! you can destroy enemy towers just in 5 seconds without any disruption.
