Weaver stats, abilities and strategy [7.41a]
Rewinds time to reverse damage and position
Weaver has no trouble evading enemies to position himself for another strike. Slipping in and out of sight, he avoids death by rewinding himself to an earlier position and health state. His arsenal of elusive skills ensures he is always a critical nuisance to his foes.

Patch 7.41
- New innate ability. Passive
- After dealing damage to an enemy hero with an attack or ability, if Weaver remains within 700 range of them for 1.5s, he establishes a Thread of Fate that briefly slows movement of the enemy and ties them to Weaver.

If the enemy dies with Thread of Fate established, the thread's bonuses linger for an additional 5s
- Effects linger even if the enemy dies when the thread is about to be established
- Movement slow is 100% for 0.2s
The Swarm
DAMAGE TYPE: Physical
PIERCES DEBUFF IMMUNITY: No
PASSIVE: No
Weaver launches a swarm of 12 young Weavers that latch on any enemy unit in their path, attacking and reducing armor until it is killed.
When a beetle latches on a target, it will remain there until it is killed or the duration expires.
Beetles are Spell Immune, but can be killed in 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 attacks from a unit. Heroes deal double damage to beetles.
Beetles provide vision.

Skitskurr's relationship with time is somewhat variable, causing his actions to be witnessed - and felt - more than once.
Time Lapse

Weaver warps backward to whatever position it was in five seconds earlier--regaining the HP and mana from that time. No effect on cooldown, gold or experience. DISPEL TYPE: Strong Dispel
Removes most negative buffs from Weaver.

Aghanim's Scepter
Time Lapse may target allied Heroes with %abilitycastrange% cast range.
If Skitskurr does not deem the current reality of the world to fit his desires, he simply crawls back in time to right what was wronged.

Strategy
Consider placing an 
Observer Ward for your mid laner quickly with Shukuchi as you load into the game.
Sniping 
Animal Courier with the help of a
Observer Ward behind their tier 1 tower will reduce their available detection.
Keep checking opponents' inventory for detection.
Use Shukuchi to secure ranged creep last hits and damage the opponents at the same time.
Weaver is already very strong in early to mid game. Look around the map for opportunities to join the fights.
In fights, focus on applying Swarm on as many opponents as possible and prioritize killing supports and backliners first.
When not much is happening, push out the side lanes aggressively as Weaver is elusive.
Weaver enables the team to take 
Roshan fairly early due to Swarm armor reduction.
Pick up 
Aghanim's Shard once you have your damage items in the mid game to further improve your DPS.
Aghanim's Scepter is a game changing pick up. Paired with 
Blink Dagger or 
Aether Lens, it becomes easier to use.
With the Hivemind facet, look to spam The Swarm and try to latch it on all enemy heroes around you to build an experience advantage.
Counter Strategy
Bring a 
Sentry Ward and extra health consumables to the lane against Weaver.
Remove The Swarm from yourself and from teammates or you will lose a lot of armor.
Weaver's Time Lapse will remove 
Dust of Appearance if it brings him out of the AoE.
Weaver is really good at killing supports and backliners. Protect them.
Using 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity on yourself or becoming invisible removes The Swarm, unless you are being detected.
Instant disables and silences are great against the elusive Weaver.
Armor items, 
Heaven's Halberd and 
Ghost Scepter are great against Weaver's physical damage.
