Dotafire.com is your friend

only go for 5 man blackholes.
don't gank until you have mek blink and aghs
if teammates complain about you not using ult, blackhole them.

I personally like to do
Courier/Obs/Sent - Tango - 3 Clarities - 2 Branches

Deny range creep at the start of the game for your mid. Rarely I do other lanes, it depends if I want to be tryhard. Go back to base to heal. Send your Eidolons to go harass lane or something. Try avoiding that troll camp at level 1. I always use the clarity whenever I can after I converted a neutral to eidolons. Try to micro your units, and use the tangos when you aren't healing your mana. Use them also when you're tanking the hits for your units every now and then. Build a Soul Ring first.

The two branches are used to build a mek later, if you balling. I won't go into detail about smoking, ganking, etc. I'm assuming you just want the basic shit. Don't be afraid to use the ultimate early in the game for securing a kill.

I usually try to not use the black hole in teamfights unless necessary. Play mindgames with your opponents since they will fear the lockdown. Use the black hole wisely as well, whether it be defensively or agressively. Know your teammates.

The boots depend entirely on you. I buy different kinds depending on how the games are going. If you know that you don't have to have a Blink Dagger to use your ultimate, then your team has probably won the game. I'll let you figure the rest out.

Items

- (Starting items) - Soul Ring - Stick (If you need it)/Boots - Mek - Blink/BKB - Situational items.

Offlane Enigma
----
I've tried this like 3 or 4 times. Use your midnight pulse. Try to lane against a melee in the offlane. I guess I don't have much to say about that. I'd say dont prioritize the eidolons in the offlane. Maybe, move back to the jungle if you have too, and let someone else leech XP later into the early game.

I don't know man, every game is different. You just have to keep trying, and losing games is necessary to learn the hero. It's good to have another support on your team that isn't greedy. Over time you'll get better. I like to use the midnight pulse before popping the black hole immediately, so it does more DPS.

P.S. - Don't listen to your ignorant teammates, if they expect you to initiate when you know that you will be counter-initiated/stunned. At this point, you'll have to play around and bait your enemies spells so that they will be off of cooldown to win the teamfight. It's about controlling the fight without having to use the ultimate.

Well thanks a lot, I will spam him now

Do not be to conservative with your blackhole, if you reach lvl 6, it is often a good idea to just walk to the savelane and blackhole thier offlaner. I often connect that with my blink pickup from the sideshop.
In the early game it is even good enough if you can get a blackhole on one guy (if it is not a support) to secure a kill for the team.

If you go blink first, try to get it until min 9. it is possible to get it slightly faster, but that should be your deadline.

HERE COMES LIGHTOFHEAVENWITHDAHUGESTBLACKHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE

Get fast tranquil soul ring for offlane.if ur going for a gank get a fast blink,if ur going for a push go fast meka.if u dont feel a teamfight is going to happen.u can use ur bh for ganks.if teamfight started often,better save bh for teamfights and gank with malefice.if u have a chance,put skill 3 first before ult,the dmg is good.also,dont waste ur blackhole for a teamfight that ur team surely will lose(ex.ur core is dead,ur team's follow up spell is on cd or he dont have enough mana.)good players will try to bait ur blackhole and cancel it before it even do anything.so if u see even 1 enemy hero is missing be careful ,think twice before black holing since it can be easily canceled if u dont have bkb.

If u feel like u cant get ur core items fast enough when playing in the hard lane.ask a teammate to replace u and go to th jungle and focus to farm ur core item faster.

U can also get a midas if u can farm it fast .

Try pairing ur enigma with heroes that have great aoe dmg (sven,sf,kunkka,earthshaker,earthspirit,ember,etc) since it can win teamfights easily.

And be careful or rubick.even a rubick player with no good skills can steal a blackhole and turnaround a teamfight.

And dont be in a hurry when using blackhole.wait for your enemy to make a mistake (stick to close) then bh .or the enemy team dont stick to close,u can ask ur team to bait them or disposition them(heroes like magnus,ds,earthspirit,etc)

Okay ! :D and what do u think about skill build ? assuming I maxed malefice and eidolons at lvl 10 , should I skip lvl 11 black hole to take more midnight pulse or it's not worth it ?

not sure if you should max malefice in first place

Ow, and I think it s good to use demonic conversion on ennemy's siege creep when pushing, and put midnight pulse preemptively behind ennemy tower when taking g.gt down so it will disrupt their position

It depends on the game with how strong your other support (possibly lol) is... If you're allowed to be a bit greedy go for it. I'd personally get it at least once, so you can use it on big camps as well. Use his midnight pulse effectively, even to farm.
