There are many point spending strategies with the Blademaster. The Blademaster's Bladestorm ultimate ability can do serious damage if left unchecked. Wind Walk can allow the Blademaster to go invisible and run away when he's about to die or sneak into enemy towns. Critical Strike allows the Blademaster to deal very high damage and essentially serves as his 'nuke' ability. The Blademaster's greatest advantage is Mirror Image, which confuses the enemy and focuses their attention on fake copies of the Blademaster. Blademasters can quickly destroy enemy units and buildings when they are powered up with items and levels. The Blademaster is one of the most powerful melee Heroes when combined with Mirror Image and Critical Strike.
Though he lacks any hero killing skills like the Mountain King, Dreadlord and Demon Hunter he makes up for it with one of the fastest attack speeds for a Hero combined with high damage. The Blademaster is a favorite Hero of many Orc commanders.
