*Adjust Quas to level 1 if you need cold snap at rune spawn battle*

Lane Strategy:
Be careful at level 1-3, Ember can kill you solo if you don't have three spells ready.
Harass Ember with alacrity/cold snap. If he dives you with flame guard, dispel it with tornado! You should not lose lane vs an Ember.

***Aghanim/Octarine/Refresher should only be considered by extremely high skilled Invoker Veterans.***

Ask team mates nicely for 2 tangos at start.
Early game, Exort builds are not proficient in crowd controlling, so you might need your team to initiate. If you do not have enough time or mana to prepare your spells for battle, it is better to push down a tower. Chaos Meteor or Tornado (if wex/quas build) a creep wave, then use your Forge Spirit to pull incoming creep wave away, then use Alacrity. Doing this will give you a minimum of forty seconds to destroy the tower.

It is almost always best to have Spirits summoned before battle, but beware of their expiration. Furthermore, consider summoning Spirits during battle if you have a Force Staff. For example: Force Staff yourself next to Brewmaster, then use Spirits and Cold Snap right next to him. The stun lock will prevent Brewmaster from using Ultimate for several seconds.
