Who is Invoker?
Invoker is a very unique DotA hero. Instead of the 3 skills - 1 ultimate - stats scheme, Invoker has 3 skills, 1 ultimate, 10 invoke skills, and no stats. Due to his versatility, Invoker can take almost any role needed by the team. The gameplay of this hero is unique and advanced so I would not recommend this to newbies. Forcing to do such will take you to the feeder slot. You have been warned!
What are his three skills and ultimate?
Each reagent gives a certain bonus when active. You can have up to 3 reagents at a given time. These reagents can be leveled up to level 7. His ultimate can be leveled up to level 4.
Quas: Gives you 0.75 HP regen per ORB per second PER level
Wex: Gives you 2% increased attack speed and 1% increased movespeed per ORB PER level
Exort: Gives you +3 damage PER ORB PER level
Invoke: Combines the properties of the elements currently being manipulated, creating a new spell at Invokers disposal. The invoked spell is determined by the combination of Quas, Wex and Exort.

What are his ten invoke skills?
The invoke skills can be acquired through any combination of his reagents. An invoke skill will be generated when three reagents are active and the Invoke skill is clicked. As of 6.50b, the order in which the reagents are selected doesn't matter. This means that Quas Quas Wex (QQW) and Wex Quas Quas (WQQ) will result to Ghost Walk when invoked.
