HoN Swiftblade Guide:-

Introduction:  

Swiftblade has low hit points but is still able to dish out a large amount of damage especially to heroes who are alone. Positioning is key as you will be looking for moments to jump on target and then get out. This makes movespeed bonuses exceptionally good.

Swiftblade is best played with a ranged partner. He fulfills the hard carry role..

Strategy :  

Early game is crucial to any Swiftblade player. Blade Frenzy does an amazing amount of damage but also has a large manacost and cooldown. Having a teammate with a disable can assist you in maximizing your damage output since you can attack while using Blade Frenzy. Stats are recommended early on to allow easier usage of both Swift Slashes and Blade Frenzy when you hit level 6.

After laning look for lone enemy heroes. Try to separate one using Blade Frenzy and then quickly follow up with Swift Slashes as they are running. Getting Ghost Marchers helps a lot in this process since it allows you to quickly get to a target.

Getting to Runed Cleaver allows you to farm a lot faster and not have to use Blade Frenzy when farming lots of creeps.

Late game will require a Shrunken Head. Blade Frenzy does make you magic immune it is normally no longer able to kill heroes at this point. Still look for heroes without creep support to maximize Swift Slashes and don't neglect lifesteal options.
