Crystal Novas range surpasses that of Frostbite, allowing you to catch enemies if they flee or to initiate first with it if range is an issue. Farm lane-creeps with Crystal Nova when maxed.

Use Frostbite to initiate onto enemies or farm the jungle during the initial levels. Target the largest creeps with Frostbite and auto-attack it until it dies since your Frostbite lasts longer on creeps, thus more damage. Does not interrupts channeling spells except for TP scroll.

So long as Crystal Maiden doesnt die, Arcane Aura globally affects all allies but especially those near her and even more to herself.

This ability is a channeling one, meaning if you get interrupted by stuns or silences, you will stop casting its damage. This has an incredible range making it quite deadly if done in a remote area, away from the fight but close enough to your foes. Wait until after someone initiates, ally and/or foe before moving in with your own ability.

Crystal Clone works well both in farming jungle camps but also as a way of disjointing ranged debuffs like certain stuns or to maneuver when channeling Freezing Field to stay on top of foes or reposition away from certain others. Before channeling Freezing Field, make sure you are facing opposite of the direction you want to move when casting Crystal Clone, it will push you backwards.

Rely on Blood Grenade as your initiating or sequential slow on foes when going for a kill in-lane or throughout the ganking phase

Iron Branch can be placed on the ground to then be consumed by your tangos for additional healing.

Opt for Magic Stick early if the enemy spam a lot of spells or you’ll be in the lane significantly. Magic Wand can be bought as early as before Boots of Speed or as late as after your core Boots upgrade depending on how the enemy and their spell usage. Magic Wand can also be bought to make room for other items due to limited space.

Crystal Maiden only suffers from two things: Survivability and Maneuverability. Tranquil Boots allows her to initiate ganks more comfortably, keeps her up to speed with other heroes and is relatively cheap so she can grab other necessary items much earlier.

Glimmer Cape can be used both for you or for an ally to ensure they survive against targeted big spell abilities. The goal of Glimmer is to reduce the damage your ally is taking and to disconnect the enemy’s from targeting your ally for future attacks such as follow-ups after a stun. More importantly, use Glimmer Cape after your ultimate to stay hidden as you cast your large AOE damaging ultimate ability.

For heroes that rely on physical damage like Juggernaut (and Omnislash), Clinkz and Riki, Ghost Scepter can be a cheap option to delay their ganks and make them waste their abilities that do no damage.

A Solar Crest not only gives you a larger mana-pool in the early-game to help alleviate harassment with your spells but it also provides strong armor, attack speed, movement speed and a barrier to protect your ally who can then initiate or gank someone with all that value. You can also apply Solar Crest on yourself for additional protection to make enemies you gank harder to fight back with you without losing or taking significant damage.

Aeon Disk helps you get out of a jam where you are constantly being chain-stunned or destroyed by abilities like Faceless Voids ultimate or PAs massive critical strikes.

The value of Lotus Orb is both its stats in mana and armor but also the ability to dispel slows and silences that would be keeping you down. Furthermore, the ability to cast back big nuking abilities to your enemies has tremendous value, especially against stuns or ultimate damaging abilities.

Aghs Shard not only helps you farm easier but also gives you a tool to escape, maneuver or disjoint projectiles against you. Can be used during Freezing Field for repositioning.

The value of Force Staff is multiple. You can use it as a pseudo-blink in combination with your ultimate ability or to avoid an enemys initiation and jump in at the right time. It can be used to pull an ally away after being engaged or initiated on. This can force enemies to have to commit harder to a kill than they want to or bringing an ally closer to the safety of your teammates.

Initiate with Blink Dagger, escape or follow-through with Force Staff: 1. Blink just within range of foe 2. Activate Frostbite on foe 3. Slow with Crystal Nova 4. Force Staff away for your team to finish it up (5) OR Activate your ultimate if you can do it safely

If Glimmer Cape isnt enough from avoiding being interrupted when using your ultimate, opt for BKB to be able to continously cast your Freezing Field.

Boots of Bearing helps you get out of slows by giving your team incredible movement and attack speed for a brief period. Your Boots will recharge, so don’t worry about running out. Purchase this after finishing the charges on all your Drum.

Spirit Vessel is a great end-game item versus especially tanky heroes or those with a lot of health.

If you're picking up an early Ring of Basilius, going for Veil, especially if you're line-up is gank-heavy and magic-oriented can be worthwhile.

Additional cast range for your abilities if positioning is a challenge for you. Continue disassembling your Arcane Boots, if you have them, to hasten your timing on acquiring this item.

If you can reach this, your impact in the late-game will be incredible as the stun duration with Frostbite makes this a strong impact in late-game fights.

Pavise is a good intermediary item to provide additional protection for yourself or allies while also giving you a larger mana-pool so you can afford to string your abilities together more comfortably. Cast Pavise on yourself when channeling Freezing Field to give yourself an extra layer of protection.
