EXPALANATION :- Ring of Basilius not only gives you more damage which really help in last hitting early game, but also gives armor for your survivalability and also can be used for pushing (aura), and gives you mana regen as well that will help you in semi-spamming your spells either to harass or for better farming.
- 3 pieces of tangos are supposed to be enough for you to keep last hitting until you get helm of iron will which gives you 3 hp/s regen and 5 armor.
- Since Alleria is a dps dependant hero, she needs damage and life steal also go well with most dps dependant hero like her. And +20 dmg and 15% life steal, +5 armor are very good early. So we get Helm of Dominator. Also, this could also be used to control neutral creep to help you killing / farming / scouting, etc.
- Stout shield. Why Stout Shield? Alleria is pretty weak. Getting this will really help you especially in farming later along with the Helm of Dominator since it make you as if you are invulnerable to creeps. Jungling will really be easy with this and HoDominator. And you just need this, there is no need to upgrade it to Vanguard. Upgrading it will just delay your main items. Later when you need your item slot, simply sell this.
- Power Treads (int), a cheap item to get extra 65 ms, 30% IAS, and 10 int. You need the ms, the IAS of course, and the intelligence to boost your mana pool as well as damage.
- Crystalist (2250) is also a cheap item to get 35 damage. ( compared to demon edge +36 damage 2600 gold ), also extra crits ! And since crits bonus damage ISN’T reduced by Fire Focus, it really helps her A LOT!
- Orchid Malevolance. Again, this gives everything what you need! Amplified damage to counter your ulti damage reduced. Silence is just the bonus. IAS, mana regen, damage, int bonus are all everything an intelligence aspd dependant hero needs.
- Satanic helps Alleria’s survivalability. It increases Alleria’s lack of HP. Gives even more life steal. Thanks that +5 armor still with you. And again, its active skill for more damage and lifesteal is just a bonus. Buying this will also help making the maximum potential of Helm of Dominator that you have bought before.
- Burize do Kyonen, an upgraded item from the crystalyst. Gives quite a lot extra damage to counter the ulti’s damage reduction, and again, crits damage bonus UNAFFECTED by her ulti reduction. (Note: MKB’s mini stun WILL cancel Shackle Shot’s stun when trigger! To buy or not is your call.)
- MKB for even more and more damage. Mini stun + 100 damage is also unaffected by Fire Focus’ damage reduction.
- EoS, completely stack with life steal, frost attack, +25 to all stats. Who don’t want……..
OVERALL, your items are arranged to deal as much damage as possible within 3.5 secs (Shackle Shot), with at least 10 shots (Fire Focus). And try to make a kill with just that combination.Note :
- Blue items means final item.
- Buying Lesser Clarity Potion, Flask of Sapphire Water, Ancient Tango of Essifation, Observer Wards, Sentry Wards, Gem of true sight, Dust of appearance, empty bottle, Scroll of Town Portal, etc. is depend on the user’ needs.
- Starting items (basilius, etc. cud be sold later when you need the slot).
7. Other possible items Sange & Yasha+ Chance to maim the enemy unit is very high with such an ulti.
+ Extra ms and IAS are very useful for aspd dependent hero.
+ Gives extra survivalability by getting more HP from str bonus and armor from agi bonus. - Neither str nor agi is your type.
- It gives just little extra damge for you with +- 5000 gold. Whereas you don’t really need the rests that it gives. Mjolnir+ Chance to release chain lightning is very high with such an ulti.
+ Help farming and killing (chain lightning damage isn’t reduced by Focus Fire)
+ Gives extra survivalability by adding armor from the bonus agi and its active skill
+ Gives damage and IAS that is needed. - the +35 agi is wasted since you are not an agi hero. Well, not fully wasted, but it is not fully used either, is it?
- You are not supposed to be a tank, even with Mjolnir’s active skill.
- You don’t get everything that it gives (agi~int) whereas you need to pay 6,00 gold ! Hand of Midas+ Help getting a lot of money.
+ Gives quite a few extra IAS. - Forget this if you can’t acquire this within 10 – 15 minuste WITHOUT sacrificing your starting gold.
- Later it just wastes your item slotCranium Basher+ Chance to stun with ulti very high. - extra str wasted.
- you only get 10% chance while melee gets 15%
- you already have reliable stun which even will be canceled when Cranium’s stun trigger. Stygian Desolator+ Gives a lot of damage even with corruption for pretty a cheap item (compared with other damage item such as burize / mkb, etc.)
+ Corruption can be assumed as a counter to Alleria’s ulti damage reduction.- Doesn’t stack with life steal, and I would prefer life steal to stay longer in the battle field / jungle. Other items are might be possible, just remember to decide it wisely. Remember Alleria’s pros and cons. Consider, what she already has, what she should get, and what she shouldn’t get.
8. Gameplay Early game :Just farming as usual : last hitting the enemy red HP creeps / denying allies red HP creeps
Harassing the enemy hero either by normal attack or sometimes by Powershot, and if possible, shot it to harass the enemy hero as well as make some creep kills.
Get Helm of Dominator and Stout Shield ASAP to get ready for mid game jungling session!
Try to have a kill when reach lv 6!
Mid game : Be careful ! You are rather weak here !!
Try to make a kill with shackle shot and fire foces combo with or without your allies by backstabbing hero that is alone.
Use pewershot properly, either to kill or in creeping. Just DON’T KS with this skill!
Get at least Treads and Crystalist or Orchid ASAP and farming as much as possible with HoDominator and Stout shield.
Be careful being gang-ed / backstabbed!
Late game : Always ready if you are needed by your team to push the enemy creep or to destroy the enemy’s base.
You are still quite weak here except you have got at least Satanic or so.
Try not to go alone ! Despite your windrunner, you don’t have any reliable escaping mechanism. Windrunner doesn’t effective against disable skills.
Fire focus is not only for killing but also to destroy tower / creep spawning building, etc.
Special Tips : - When you have allies, always ready to Shackle Shot the enemy properly.
- Be smart and wise using Powershot.
- Don’t move / manual attack after using the Fire Focus until it is finish since doing them will cancel it.

ADDITION9. Recommended AlliesGenerally Alleria is suitable with whoever hero, however her Shackle Shot may be can help some fast aspd or great damage hero who has no disabler ( Eg. Razor, Shadow Fiend, Jahrakal, etc.)
10. Worst EnemiesAnub’arak, The Nerubian Assassin - MANA BURN !!! + Vendetta + Impale = Death
Lion the Demon Witch, impale + hex + finger of death = DEATH
Lina the Slayer, T + D + G (guess what lol) = gg
Magina, The Anti Mage - Mana Break + Mana Void = tears
Lucifer, The Doom Bringer – DOOM -> SILENCE for 16 seconds ??!!!
And any other strong nuker / disabler.
