Strategy
Double Ion Shell the first wave and make sure opponents don't deny many creeps.
Execute push and pull strategy. Push the lane with shells and pull the big camp.
If you can't pressure on the lane consider creep skipping and farming neutral camps nearby.
If you are fighting close to pillar spots or cliffs, consider Vacuuming opponents on those.
Push out dangerous lanes with Ion Shells.
Keep your melee cores shelled and wait for a moment when opponents are clumped up to do your combo.
Prioritize using Wall of Replica and Normal Punch on heroes that have strong illusions or auras.
Counter Strategy
Against Dark Seer, focus on denying creeps as Ion Shells are making them drop low.

Lore
Fast when he needs to be, and a cunning strategist, Ish'Kafel the Dark Seer requires no edged weapons to vanquish his enemies, relying instead on the strength of his powerful mind. His talent lies in his ability to maneuver the fight to his advantage. Hailing from a place he calls 'The Land behind the wall,' Dark Seer remains an outsider here--a warrior from a realm beyond the veil of this reality.
Once a great general among his people, and a valiant defender of the god-king Damathryx, Dark Seer's army was wiped out by a much larger force in the final days of the Great Boundaries War. Facing certain defeat, he made one last desperate act: he led the enemy forces into the maze between the walls. At the last moment, just before capture, he crossed over--then sealed the walls forever in an explosive release of dark energy. When the dust settled, he saw that he had saved his people but found himself blinking at the sun of a different world, with no way to return. Now he is committed to proving his worth as a military strategist, and vows to show that he's the greatest tactician this strange new world has ever seen.
