Ophelia

My english is not very good, then I will try to translate to a basic level for all english speakers. Also I appreciate corrections of any wrong text that you see here. Thank you!

This guide was made for Support Ophelia (not nuker), then you should walk alongside your teammates to give them many auras and support with astrolabe or totem of kuldra for example.

Stats

Due to the low armor I recommend you to buy the red Steamboots (Strength).


Game Start

It is important that Ophelia go look for some creep in the forest (at least one creep) to begin the game with an option for tanking other forest creeps or heroes.
As you are getting more creeps, you may find it difficult to control and its Ophelia creeps separately, for this you can designate individual creeps with CTRL +1, CTRL +2, etc. to reselect them quickly to use a skill. Like 1 + Q.

I recorded a video to get at level 6 with Ophelia in a normal game (non-EM), watch here at youtube link:
