Strategy

Use Wave of Terror to secure ranged creeps and harass the opponents at the same time.

You can stack multiple camps at the same time and help clear them with Wave of Terror.

Wave of Terror provides vision so you can scout pillars for wards and Roshan pit.

The most important thing in the fights is to be ready to swap an ally in trouble or an opponent out of position.

Vengeful Spirit enables early Roshan kill due to Wave of Terror, Vengeance Aura and possibly minus armor items.

Pick up Aghanims Shard once you have Aghanims Scepter to stun multiple heroes in teamfights.

In fights, you can Swap an ally just to give them and yourself a damage barrier, as long as it does not put them in a bad position.

Counter Strategy

Focus Vengeful Spirit in the fights as she provides saves and empowers her Cores.

Armor items are great against Vengeful Spirit's Wave of Terror and Vengeance Aura.

Linken's Sphere and a well timed Lotus Orb are great against Magic Missile and Nether Swap.

If Vengeful bought Aghanim's Scepter, then you should ignore her in fights.

Lore

Even the most contented Skywrath is an ill-tempered creature, naturally inclined to seek revenge for the slightest insult. But Vengeful Spirit is the essence of vengeance. Once a proud and savage Skywrath scion, Shendelzare was first in succession for the Ghastly Eyrie until a sister's treachery robbed her of her birthright. Snared in an assassin's net, Shendelzare tore free only at the cost of her wings, limping away in the ultimate humiliation: On foot. With her wings broken, she knew the Skywrath would never accept her as ruler; and in the highest roost of the Eyrie, inaccessible except by winged flight, her sister was untouchable. Unwilling to live as a flightless cripple, and desiring revenge far more than earthly power, the fallen princess drove a bargain with the goddess Scree'Auk: She surrendered her broken body for an imperishable form of spirit energy, driven by vengeance, capable of doing great damage in the material plane. She may spend eternity flightless, but she will have her revenge.
