[edit] Skill Overview
- Acid Cocktail - A chained stun that will bounce around enemies stunning them. Although it doesn't deal damage to heroes it is quite strong stunning many heroes. As an extra bonus it can deal damage to creeps. This makes Acid Cocktail a good farming tool if ever needed.
- Mojo - A multi use spell. It can either be put on an enemy or an ally. If you put it on an enemy it will give damage over time to everyone around him, combining well with Cursed Ground. If Mojo is cast on an ally it will give a heal over time. This skill alone can give Voodoo Jester quite a kick in a lane.
- Cursed Ground - With Cursed Ground Voodoo Jester can pull off many kills. It will deal damage to anyone effected, depending on how much damage the person has taken with the effect on. It needs some attention to aim but with all the synergy from your other skills it quite nice.
- Spirit Ward (Spirit Ward Supreme) - Spirit Ward is with no doubt, has the ability to deal the most damage on Voodoo Jester. When Spirit Ward is channeled it will be a machine gun, that will only target heroes. Not only that at higher levels or with SotM it can target more than one hero at a time.
These skill have clear synergy. It basicly makes him into a scary hero killer.

Very basic build getting Cursed Ground as early as possible
[edit] Item Build
Starting Items
Voodoo Jester NEEDS mana, and a lot of it. So early getting more int and some consumables help alot
X2 = 300
- Basic int bonus
X2 = 106
- Minor extra stats
X2 = 100
- More mana regeneration
X1 = 90
- Just a bit of health regeneration
Total Cost = 343
Early Game
Frankly Voodoo Jester needs stats. So gathering stat items is not a bad choice but he is also a ganker, thus needing some regeneration too
X1 = 600
- For rune whoring and ganking
X3 = 1455
- More intellect and more stats just epic.
X1 = 500
- Mandatory extra movespeed
Total Cost = 1585
Mid Game
Mid game starts heating up with lots of ganks happening, and because we didn't get a lot of health in early game we focus on getting some items that help survival
X1 = 1503
- The extra armor and a bit of stats is gold for Voodoo
X1 = 3400
- It can be used to start off a gank or to escape from a gank. You can possibly uses it when you are channeling Ward to make it harder to interrupt it.
Total Cost = 4903
Late Game
Late game all you really do is use your ultimate and Cursed ground in team fights so we will try to get items that utilize it
X1 = 4300
- Helpful for giving some extra stats to Voodoo but also buffing his ultimate into something much stronger
X1 = 3900
- By the time you get Staff of the Master your enemies should've already gotten smart and will try to interupt your ultimate one way or the other so getting some anti magic really helps.
Total Cost = 8200
Situational Items
Along with the above items a lot of other items are viable depending on situations.
X1 = 4700
- Give nice amount of intelligence and also the bonus armor is good for surviving, along with that it can be activated while in a team fight providing a good snare.
X1 = 2850
- I barf at the thought of getting Codex for voodoo jester but it has a tiny bit of synergy with Cursed Ground, but if you do ever thing about getting Codex, keep it within pub stomps only.
X1 = 2700
- It can replace Plated Greaves
This is my way of playing Voodoo Jester, it isn't the only way
[edit] Gameplay
Voodoo Jester doesn't have much health but is very powerful, always be aware of positioning, and try not to put yourself into to much danger
Early Game
Voodoo Jester can babysit within a lane, he has a decent heal when needed and is ranged. So putting him in a duo lane isn't a bad idea but Voodoo Jester can also solo middle very easily with his high base damage out last hitting the enemy.
Mid Game
Start ganking! With your hero killing abilities it is a good idea to gank when your allies need it. Your job is to support in ganks not necessarily get the kill. Kills are for the carries.
Late Game
Bigger more hectic team fights start to happen, so your job is to use cursed ground then drop your ultimate and hope for the best. Remember to use your items accordingly
[edit] Hero Synergy
Good Allies
Long disables are always good or heavy burst damage
- Night Hound's AoE silence will help stop people from interrupting your ward
- Huge burst damage will make Cursed Ground very effective
- Also Huge burst damage to syngerize with Cursed Ground
- Long disable putting everyone together for an easy Cursed Ground, after that you drop your ultimate
- Once he uses his ultimate, the chances that someone will interrupt your ultimate is low
- His ultimate deals respectable damage quickly so it works well with Cursed Ground
- HUGE damage and disables
- He has an invisibility to protect you while you ward and also has a good dsiable
- Powerful disable that your ward will work in
Bad Enemies
Enemies that can negate the damage from cursed ground and ward make Voodoo useless
- If he silences you, your not gonna be able to use ultimate
- His heal can mean that your enemies survive your Cursed ground
- He has anti magic to stop your magic abilities
- His spells all go through Shrunken Head
- He has a powerful heal and anti magic abilities
- His wards can see invisible and then silence you interrupting your ultimate
- His eyes can see invisible
Thats all for now!
