Top Introduction Hi guys and girls, I’m MiniTV, an ex pro/caster for Heroes of Newerth alongside BreakyCPK, now just a 6k+ Immortal Coach that makes Dota Content mainly on YouTube under the same name, and occasional BTS caster. I’ve played MOBA’s for about 10 years now, 6 of them being on DOTA2. I’ve competed on LAN and multiple Online Tournaments. Over 10k hours on Dota, I’d like to think I know a thing or two about the game.

Let's move on to the guide itself! Snapfire Phoenix Snapfire



Due to her only restricting factor being levels and not farm, support is the role for her. Hard support is my preferred best role for her because she is a strong laner with her high burst potential and good harassment capabilities. Although she can be a great position 4 due to her high burst and good laning skills (attractive pos 4 qualities), she doesn’t necessarily “need” as much as the other pos 4 supports, and doesn’t need the freedom, greed and farm that is offered to them. Compare Earthshaker Blink Dagger Snapfire Let's move on to the guide itself!is an incredibly strong strength ranged hero (unique alongside), predominantly played as a support (although there are scenarios where an offlane or potentially even midcould work) that only requires levels to be useful thanks to her incredibly versatile skill set.Due to her only restricting factor being levels and not farm, support is the role for her.

Top Gameplay Early Game



As for laning whether you’re pos 4 or pos 5, harassing either the enemy core/support with right clicks in combination with Scatterblast Scatterblast Firesnap Cookie



Making sure you have mana for your spells ensures you have lane presence and will make sure you dominate your lane. You don’t have the largest right click range (500) so make sure you are not getting out harassed by other further range supports such as Lina (670), using the trees as cover can be useful here.



With your low base damage of 49, you don’t trade too effectively from just right clicks alone, use in combination of your Scatterblast



With your high burst capabilities of maxing Scatterblast Firesnap Cookie Mortimer Kisses





Mid Game



Roshan will be a natural objective for your team or the enemy team to take, but with your Mortimer Kisses



Having Vladmir's Offering



In the mid-game teams tend to group up more, and are less likely to get picked off thus meaning lanes will be unattended, this is a good time for you to secure some farm for yourself and with Scatterblast Firesnap Cookie





Mid Game



In the late game the enemy cores will be seeking you out to kill first in team fights due to your utility and damage, so playing even further back to ensure your safety, whilst still being useful in team fights with your ppmortimer kisses[[ (artillery covering fire :D) is most advised. And cookie’ing allies to get into/out of team fights is where you can come in handy.



With towers and sieging on the mind in the late game, ensuring you use your Lil' Shredder As for laning whether you’re pos 4 or pos 5, harassing either the enemy core/support with right clicks in combination withcan offer high amounts of damage which will disincentivise enemies in trading with you.

As there are many “choke points” where there is a small area that people clump up for, thus making your ppmortimer kisses[[ more powerful and impactful as each glob has a 275 radius AoE.Havinghere from your core items also helps to secure Roshan easily due to the lifesteal for your carry so he doesn’t take too much damage from hitting Roshan, etc.In the mid-game teams tend to group up more, and are less likely to get picked off thus meaning lanes will be unattended, this is a good time for you to secure some farm for yourself and withandmaxed out you can clear creep waves quickly and effectively from range.
