Can freeze his enemies in time

Time is everything to Faceless Void. He speeds time to dash between locations, manipulates it to dodge attacks, stops it in a large area to devastate his foes, and given enough of it to gather resources, he can make himself unbelievably powerful.

Strategy

Be careful about using Time Walk aggressively on early levels as you leave yourself exposed for a while. Only use it when you have taken substantial damage in the last 2 seconds.

Look around the map and be ready to teleport in and pick-off an opponent with Chronosphere. This contributes to pressure and plays around the map.

Faceless Void is an attack speed hungry hero as damage per second is closely related to the frequency of Time Lock procs. Buy items that give you agility and attack speed.

In teamfights, look to trap as many opponents as possible in Chronosphere while leaving allies outside. Avoid including your important ally heroes into the Chronosphere.

Avoid playing aggressively when Chronosphere is on cooldown and push out lanes instead.

You can tank up and get mobility items if your teammates can provide plenty of damage in Chronosphere.

Mask of Madness enables you to pick off free kills easily with Chronosphere. Look for these opening kills around the map whenever Chronosphere is up with your Mask of Madness.

Counter Strategy

Cause damage to Faceless Void over time, as he can't heal using Time Walk.

Maximize damage on Faceless Void after he has used Time Walk.

Faceless Void relies on Chronosphere to be effective and he will feel underwhelming if it is down. Make use of the long cooldown of his ultimate to force a fight or take an objective

Don't clump up when Chronosphere is up. Save the hero that has been caught or look to interrupt the follow-up damage from Void's teammates

It is recommended to have basic dispels available against Time Dilation

Items like Aeon Disk and Aegis are good counters against Chronosphere in mid to late game. It is advised to keep buyback ready as you might want to use your first life to burn through Void's ultimate

You can try to bait out Chronosphere with smart illusion rune usage or Manta Style.

Lore

Darkterror the Faceless Void is a visitor from Claszureme, a realm outside of time. It remains a mystery why this being from another dimension believes the struggle for the Nemesis Stones is worth entering our physical plane, but apparently an upset in the balance of power in this world has repercussions in adjacent dimensions. Time means nothing to Darkterror, except as a way to thwart his foes and aid his allies. His long-view of the cosmos has given him a remote, disconnected quality, although in battle he is quite capable of making it personal.
