::Guardian Crest > Sanctification::

Starting with Hallowed Braid and then focusing on building Truesilver Bracelet allows you to be aggressive with your ultimate ability, with little fear of it being interrupted, a lot earlier in the game. Creating opportunities for your carry to get killing blows will allow you to build those Elegy stacks very quickly for your mana regen.

Once you finish the Bracelet, build Tainted Totem in an effort to boost your healing output and reduce the enemy's, then once that item is finished you can complete Requiem. The last two items are situational, but it's very important you build Physical Armor if you've followed the build this far. Last item follows the same logic, depending on the current state of the game.

For the first 3 levels, focus on getting those hits on enemies for your crest while your ally is nearby. Manage the lane to follow you to your tower so that your carry can get last hits without being too exposed. An easy way to do this is to poke the enemy heroes so that their minions follow you. If done correctly, your Jungler will have an easier time ganking your lane as well. As you're entering level 4, if the lane is pushing towards your Carry, don't be afraid to back and use that as a roaming opportunity to help out your Mid Laner. By keeping track of the minions and managing your lane, you'll be able to squeeze many roaming opportunities.

While you're doing all of this, it's very important you ward important areas, get those hits on enemies (while an ally is nearby) for your crest, and most importantly, avoiding death without purpose. Moderation is key in this, because you don't want to leave your Carry alone for too long or you risk them dying often and falling behind on progress, but you also want to be as omnipresent as possible for your Mid Laner.

At around level 6 (when you have your ultimate), you can extend that roaming to the Top Lane for extra killing blow opportunities on some of your backs (which help your Elegy stacks). If you do, safely follow the river and jungle back to your carry, stopping to help Mid Lane on the way if possible. If all goes well, and your carry can handle their own, you'll have a nicely warded map and happy teammates.

To roam you need a lot of visibility to avoid deaths without reason. Fangtooth, Prime, Mid Lane, and deep in their jungle. Don't be afraid to invade and ward their areas, but please be careful while doing so. Use your best judgement at any given point to make a play happen if the opportunity arises from being such a presence in the match.

Don't be afraid to experiment with the build and find what suits your playstyle. Happy Thunking!!
