Note: This is probably the best way to play Darchrow, malefice is maxed the second because I maxed conversion first for pushing/farming. Midnight pulse is maxed the third because it is not useful early game because enemy heroes wont have big big life for midnight pulse to be a pain.
Core Items
Shivas Guard: It gives you everything you need (except hp), armor and mana, the slow is also important after you do your black hole in case someone is alive for some reason.
BOT:Fuck the IAS given by PT, BOT is always better for Enigma, wasting the tp given by BOT is bad.
BKB:To pull out for combo and the strength given could be useful.
Blink Dagger: Your an initiator you will need this to do black hole easier.
Item Order
2mantles,1circlet,2 pack of tangoes and 2 branches
complete 2 null talismans
boots
blink dagger
ogre axe
broadsword
complete BKB
mystic staff
platemail
complete shivas guard
complete BOT
Strategy
Early Game:Choose mid or bottom,going solo is preferred.Do the last hit method and keep summoning eidelons for pushing.Go home to buy 2 nulls and boots then tp back to your lane,do the same thing over and over again.You may roam around the map for 1-3 kills for 5mins.Buy blink dagger and you can start a clash or something.
Middle Game:Starting clashes is necessary because your an initiator and so that your allies can kick the asses of your enemies.Buy ogre axe and broadsword together then keep farming in your lane always gank when needed and push when necessary,complete BKB.
Late Game:Always start a clash and keep pushing (summon your eidelons all the time),spam your malefice on bastards like drow,razor,void,etc. use your black hole to get a hold of them.Buy mystic staff,then go back to pushing,if your low in hp go home and buy plate mail (it is better if you go home with 2k gold so that you can get shivas,go back to pushing again.Buy BOT when you have the money then finish the game!
Tricks
Ultimatum:blink + midnight pulse + BKB + black hole = rape
1 and 3:Malefice + midnight pulse = go home
Runes
Everything except double damage.
Good Allies and Bad Enemies
