Some Core Strategies for the AA
Use Cold Feet to harass in the early game.
- This comes in with the fact that you lane (if not mid) with a stunner/slower because it would be easy to kill the enemy as they are disabled with a ice+ a stun. The enemy would be stunned (earlygame apprx. 1second) + slowed (second skill) and then finally iced into the cold feet which opens a huge opportunity to take a kill. Having an advantage for early game is good as you can shut down the farm of the opponents who may need the farm to do well later.
AA HAS A VERY GOOD LANE CONTROL.
Ice Vortex can be used to slow enemies when chasing or being chased, as well as reduce their resistance.
Ice Blast is a multi-purpose spell that can be cast to anywhere on the map. Use it to aid your allies in ganks, initiate team battles, slow down escaping enemies, finish off low-HP heroes, and clear large creep waves.
Ancient Apparition can solo mid in the early game. You want to start ganking as soon as possible and Ancient Apparition has all the necessary tools to control his lane.
As a ganker hero, Ancient Apparition synergies very well with any other ganker heroes.
All of Ancient Apparition's spells have incredible range. Try to avoid close combat in less-than-ideal conditions.
You don't have an escape mechanism, so having vision of your opponents is crucial for you to survive. Ask your teammates to ward or do it yourself whenever it's possible.
-If you want to try to get some different items to the basic item build, you could grab a ghost scepter - what this does, is makes you immune to all attacks for 4 seconds (ghost form, activated)- this is somehow just enough to get away in small situations. Another way is to grab a blink/lothars (these items help out in many ways - the blink for chasing/running away, lothars for escaping). While you hold these items, you would also be the carrier of the mek/pipe/other supportive items. You can spam these to help out if you're running on low health. And to top it all off, if you have a linkins, it just makes your life more sustainable.
Later in game, try to pair up with high DPS heroes and stuns in order to decimate enemies.
