Jakiro is a ranged intelligence hero who can be played as a pusher and an initiator. He possesses a bunch of large AoE abilities that can damage groups of enemies, as well as a relatively large health pool that lets him survive large skirmishes. His Dual Breath is a very versatile ability that can be used to push, harass, gank or initiate. His Ice Path is arguably one of the best stuns in the game, creating a virtually impassable strip of ice that can effectively block off entire routes. His Liquid Fire is another excellent pushing ability as well as being useful for teamfights. His Macropyre will melt away the health of his enemies, briefly turning a small portion of the map into a hostile spot. Positioning is key for Jakiro to land his abilities, and wise use of his abilities can wipe out creep waves and do huge damage in teamfights.

Dual Breath makes you breathe ice and then fire, with the ice breath slowing ememies while the fire breath dealing damage over time. It is an excellent spell for pushing, being relatively spammable and able to catch creep waves with it. The slow is also useful for catching up to enemy heroes, while the damage over time can chip away an enemy's health or finish it off.

Ice Path creates a strip of ice after a short delay that stuns enemies caught in it or touching it while it is still active. It is a very strong disable, being able to catch multiple enemies with a well positioned cast. It does require some prediction and skill when targeting, since the path takes time to form. It is rather spammable with a low mana cost and short cooldown, so you have a higher chance of landing it.
