Leshrac is a versatile ranged intelligence hero who can be played as a support, a semi-carry, a ganker or an initiator, though he's primarily played as a pusher. He has effective AoE spells, giving him a large presence in teamfights, as well as making him clear creep waves and push down towers with relative ease. His Split Earth is a great stun, though it requires some skill and prediction to land. His Diabolic Edict is his signature pushing skill, burning away at the health of towers and heroes alike. Lightning Storm is a spammable damage spell that can deal consistent damage against groups of enemies. His Pulse Nova is yet another powerful AoE spell, taking away chunks of an enemy's health every second as long as he has the mana to maintain it.

Split Earth stuns all units around the targeted area after a short cast delay. The stun is moderately long, and good enough to hold enemies in place for followup stuns or attacks. Actually landing the stun in the first place can be a little tricky, since there is a noticeable delay between casting it and stunning. It is usually a good idea to layer it on top of another, more reliable stun from an ally, such as a Sand King's Burrowstrike.
