Ascendant

Info

The Ascendant is a powerful close up fighter who can fly away from deadly foes. He is partially good for sieging bases with his ultimate and Terra Smash. He is a great hero killer with his Ravenous Dive which deals alot of damage and uses the target as a shield, only if you have more strength than the enemy hero. It can also be used to drop heroes where they cannot escape from and then they are free to get killed by spells and ranged attacks. He can improve units size, damage, health and abilities with his Abberation which also can heal the targeted unit and can be casted multiple times on a single unit, the Abberated unit can be kept alive longer and deal more damage by getting STR and INT items. Stone Gaze isn't that useful.

The two main abilities that i would suggest you should spend skill points into are Ravenous Dive and Terra Smash which are his main offense, if you want an ultimate that would deal more damage get into DIVE and Hell Fury and get an Orb of Skill or Talisman of the Sun (Artifact).

He is a great Combo (I think so anyways) with the Emberwraith with a Terra Smash to slow and Pyroclasm with the Emberwraith makes a good unit killer and they both can hurt buildings. Also with Corona and Hells Fury which can rip up bases.

A secondary combo would be with the Defiler and his ultimate that reduces the strength of STR heroes and then a Ravenous Dive to finish them off, the Defiler has damage over time spells which can also make quick work of heroes if repeatedly cast upon a hero.
