Item dependence: Very heavy if he has to carry.

Early game power/Lane control: Some with vanish and Wards.

Mid game power: Medium.
Late game power: Medium.

Farming skills: None

Gank power: Medium with his ultimate and vanish.
Hero Weakness: Needs farm to be useful in late game. Very low health pool.
Hero Strength: Decent ganker with ultimate and vanish. Very strong map control with his wards.

Countered By: In early game: Nukers, disablers and anti-invis heroes like Pestilence and Arachna. Also countred by Puzzlebox and Dust of revelation
Best Allies: Baby sitters like Demented Shaman so he can farm early game.

    After get:
    x2 Soulscream Ring

    x1 – x2 Home coming stone
    x1 Marcher

    Then:
    x1 Ghost Marcher
    x1 Abyssal Skull
    x1 Bottle
    x2 Homecoming Stone (Incase of denying towers or running)

    Late:[U shud have]
    x1 Ghost Marcher
    x1 Bottle
    x1 Runed Axe
    x1 Wingbow
    x1 Helm of Black Legion/Shieldbreaker

    Hope 2 help =)

    dude, scout needs runed axe asap after your boots!!! This helps him farm much faster so he can be the unstoppable carry at the end.
