Background story
Moskov, shooting to fame during the warrior tournament of tribes, was already a battle master at his youth. He inherited the family's occult spear fighting skills, and as the next leader of the clan Wildsand, he was loved and respected by many. Watching Wildsand clan growing stronger day by day, Kublai, the leader of Thornwolf couldn't hold back and let them become the new hegemony on Hietala grassland. One day when the youngsters of Wildsand went out hunting, he slaughtered the entire clan with his own people. The whole land was scorched by blazing flames of war. Blood flowed like stream, yet a slight warmth still remained on the bodies of died families and friends. Faced with this cruel vision, Moskov could not persuade himself to accept it. But even worse, Kublai dispatched a formidable cavalty trying to hunt down the Moskov's hunting party which was the only survivors from the massacre. In a panic, some escaped and some wanted to surrender, and Moskov, for the very first time, lifted his spear and aimed at his own buddies. Suffering from this painful experience, Moskov became ruthless with a thought of revenge haunting him constantly. However, Kublai was too strong to defeat. In order to obtain more power, Moskov chose to fall into the Abyss of Shadow and serve the Queen of Doom, becoming notorious as 'the Spear of Quiescence' ever since.
----------------------------------
Skills
Spear of Quiescence (Passive Moskov): Moskov's basic attack can penetrate the targets and deal damage to enemies behind them. Hitting enemies successfully will reduce the cooldown of Abyss Walker and Spear of Death. Opinion: penetration effect gives Moskov an ability to clear the minion faster and give enemy lot of damage when they trying to hide behind minion or another hero.
Hint: to optimize the use of the passive skill Moskov required to understand a good positioning while in battle.
Abyss Shadow (Skill 1): Moskov uses the power of shadow to teleport to the specified position, enhancing attack's penetration ability and increasing attack speed. Opinion: the buff in attack speed and penetration damage make moskov can clear the lane faster.
Hint: teleportation effect in this skill was the most important thing to be highlighted cause if you teleport to the wrong place the chance of advantage positioning will be wasted.
Spear of Death (Skill 2): Moskov strikes at an enemy hero with full strength, dealing physical damage and knocking back the target. If the knocked-back target collides with another enemy hero, then both enemies will receive physical damage and be stunned. If the target hits obstacles, it will be stunned.
Opinion: The main killing ability in Moskov kit if the spear hit the enemy to the wall or another enemy. Hint: it’s better to trigger this skill after using the first skill to position Moskov to hit the enemy into the wall or another enemy.
Spear of Destruction (Skill 3): Moskov throws out the Spear of Destruction after powering up shortly, dealing physical damage to enemies along a straight line. For each enemy it hits, it will provide a buff of increasing attack power to Moskov which can stack up for few secs. Opinion: Moskov ultimate has the most long effective range so it’s better to use it to help teammate in another lane or to intercept running enemy.
Hint : the buff duration is very short so it’s better to use it to detect enemy hiding in bush or to start team fight, but the most fatal about this skill it won’t hit the lord or turtle.

Playstyle Q&A
Q : emblem set to use?
A : the most efficient one is physical assassin set(early penetration damage buff), second option is physical emblem set Q : why scarlet phantom not thor string or fallen sword?
A : thor string recent price was the main decision in removing it, because thor string itself losing in term of attack speed and damage buff, while it’s true thor string give more extra critical chance the damage itself still lacking. In case of fallen sword the price and the gap time to finish the build giving moskov a lot of disadvantage in early game that’s why scarlet phantom is safer choice also tooth of greed is better lifesteal item.
Q : which lane to go?
A : the best option is mid lane to level up faster as possible and if the team want to communicate you can try to reserve the red buff from the bottom lane.
Q : when fury battle spell should be activated?A : after the first spear of death hit the enemy.
Q : when team fight happen what should Moskov do?
A : trying to enter the team fight area in good position by abyss walker and using spear of death to destroy enemy formation or to stun enemy high value target.
