In late game, the amount of HP you have becomes less relevant, especially if your opponent relies on physical attacks. If you’re not careful, opponents with strong physical attacks like Phantom Assassin or Templar Assassin can easily kill you in seconds.

Don’t go forward too often and be seen by your opponent unless you want to cast Liquid Fire on the tower opponent. When you want to do teamfight, always aim choke point to maximize accuracy and damage from Macropyre, Dual Breath, and also Ice Path.
