The range on Stifling Dagger is more than sufficient for you to stay in the safety of your tower and still get CS. If you are getting harassed in lane, this is your go-to tool for securing CS. At level 4, it deals 180 damage to a creep and costs merely 15 mana. It is an extremely long ranged skill with an insanely low mana cost. This is your bread-and-butter nuke, harasser, safe CS tool, etc. With low cooldowns on both her active abilities, you should be able to use them multiple times in a teamfight. Her kit is extremely suited towards both picking off a straggler, as well as sustained teamfighting. Like most carries, Phantom Assassin has skills that scale well. That being said, let's get into some of the details. No, she needs farm to be effective, and for this reason, playing her in the offlane isn't a viable choice. She isn't a Bristleback that can easily get damage from simply spraying quills and survive teamfights by turning her back on the enemy. She is not a Faceless Void that can hit level 6 and only needs a Mask of Madness to be effective in the mid game. Although she can possibly survive the offlane (thanks to Blur) and get some CS with Stifling Dagger, this is a carry that actually needs items in order to be effective. However, playing her in the offlane would be a bad idea. Alternatively, she can be played in the mid, and can hold her own against most mid heroes, thanks to Stifling Dagger's insane range, and still get comfortable CS. She can be played as a safe lane farmer, in which case, you can simultaneously take advantage of her mid game presence, while also transitioning into a devastating late game carry. There are a couple of different ways of playing Phantom Assassin. She has a niche presence in the game, as a carry, as she comes online extremely early, but can fall off during the late game unless she super boosts her mid game farm. This is my guide to Phantom Assassin, one of my favorite heroes in the game.
