Updated · live data refreshed 45 minutes ago · every 6 hours
Faramis works well with heroes that are designed to dive into the enemy, such as Leomord and Martis, as he'll be able to maximize the life-saving effect of his Ultimate.
Faramis is countered by high mobility heroes that are difficult for him to catch with his 1st Skill, such as Novaria and Pharsa.
Level up in this order when playing Faramis:
Ghost Bursters
Shadow Stampede
Vicious Retrieval
A necromancer in Necrokeep who's determined to find a cure for the Mist.
Every 4s, Faramis' next skill against enemy heroes and summoned objects generates a soul fragment on the spot. Faramis can absorb the soul fragment to restore 100 (+50% Total Magic Power) HP and gain 2 extra Magic Power (up to 40 stacks). Upon death, he consumes the absorbed soul fragments to reduce the respawn timer, each reducing the timer by 3% (up to 90%). Enemies that die around Faramis also have a chance to drop soul fragments.
Faramis enters the Shadow state for 3s, gaining 70% Movement Speed, 25 Physical & Magic Defense, and 20% Cooldown Reduction of this skill. He also gains the ability to move through terrain. Enemy heroes he touches take 250 (+60% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and are marked with a Nether Mark. Upon leaving the Shadow state, Faramis pulls all the marked enemy heroes toward him, dealing 250 (+60% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage. Use Again: Ends the Shadow state early to pull marked enemy heroes toward him. Soul Fragment absorption range is increased while this skill is active.
Faramis gathers Nether energy in a fan-shaped area ahead, dealing 330 (+144% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies within. The energy will then split and bounce to nearby enemies, dealing 200 (+86% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage (splits up to 2 time(s) on enemy hero hits and 1 time(s) on non-enemy hero hits).
Faramis turns his surroundings into the Nether Realm for 6s, making affected allied heroes (including himself) enter the Specter state and granting them 400 plus 10 (+5% Total Magic Power)% extra HP and 50% extra Movement Speed for 1s. When the Specter state breaks, the hero will clear all debuffs and enter a brief Resurrection state for 1.3s. An allied hero's Specter state ends when they leave the Nether Realm.
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 3 → Skill 2 → Skill 1.

In teamfights, use Faramis' Ultimate to protect his allies, then get close to the enemy and apply Nether Marks with his 1st Skill. Activate the 1st Skill again to pull them over and follow up with his 2nd Skill for additional damage.

In the laning phase, use Faramis' 1st Skill to get close to the enemy and hit them with his 2nd Skill while applying a Nether Mark with the 1st Skill. Then, use his 1st Skill again to pull the enemy back to him.

Prioritize Speed, Antiheal, then Cooldown which are the first three items. Andthen you are free to adjust the remaining three. Personally, I go for Lightning Truncheon for more AOE damage and then Wishing Lantern for enhanced damaged to tanks, and Divine Glaive as last itme to pierce through enemy defences.
Flicker · Mobility
Agility
Wilderness Blessing
Impure Rage
Mage Emblem to boost his magic damage and cooldown reduction. Agility and Wilderness Blessing for extra movement speed to help him visit other lanes that needs his help. Impure Rage to boost his poking abilities.

Arrival · Long-range Support
Agility
Bargain Hunter
Lethal Ignition
Mage emblem for magic damage. For the first emblem set, 'Agility' will give him movement speed so he could catch up with his teammates, and he will be able to gank lanes faster. 'Bargain Hunter' is crucial since his role is to roam, but he deals damage; it'll make him able to buy the necessary items. And 'Lethal Ignition' for extra damage, since his 2nd skill is a burst type.

Battle Spell. Using the battle spell of 'Arrival,' you'll be able to respond much faster to your teammates. Combining it with his passive—where he's able to respawn immediately—will be really useful.

This is a full CD/DMG build. Faramis needs the first 3 core items. He heavily relies on cooldown reduction. Depending on enemy team you would buy glowing wand first if the enemy has a lot of sustain/heal.

This Faramis is one used against a really squishy team. This build late game can one shot heros like MM, Mage, Jungle in team fights. Since Faramis does massive splash damage. Just one 2nd skill in a late game team fight can do more than half HP to multiple heros. The only downfall is mana will be an issue since Faramis loves to spam his 2nd skill. This build also cause all his skills to have slightly higher CD.
Flicker · Mobility
Inspire
Wilderness Blessing
Lethal Ignition
For first emblem is inspire for extra 5% cd reduction or rupture if the enemy is tanky. For 2nd emblem I use bargain hunter or wilderness blessing. This helps with either getting Faramis core items faster or emblem to speed Faramis rotations for ganking. I use lethal ignition for the final emblem. Faramis is a great splash damage mage. Lethal ignition is great for ensuring kills.

Battle Spell. Most matches flicker is a great spell. You can utilize Faramis first skill with a flicker to pull enemies towards your team. This can even catch enemies running away. Most people do not expect it. This also gives plays on flicker ultimate on to teammates who are close to dying but out of range. This is a great combo that surprises enemies. The 2nd spell would be purify. If a team had great CC heros purify is needed to be able to ultimate. Both of theses spells are dependent on enemy team comp
