Justification / Modifications:
First level of Dark Shield for 100% evasion and unitwalk (aka for escaping). Then level Guilloting for harassing and ganking.

Lane Starting Items:
Runes of the Blight, Healing Potion, Logger's Hatchet, 2x Minor Totem, Mana Potion

Core:
Bottle >> Marchers >> Power Supply >> Talisman of the Exile

Instead of the Talisman you can get a Fortified Bracelet (against nukers) or Soulscream Ring (matter of taste).

After Core:
Puzzle Box 3 >> Post Haste >> Nullfire Blade >> Geometer's Bane

Get a Nullfire after core if your team needs to counter Hellbringer, Hammerstorm or Jeraziah.
Puzzlebox helps a lot with ganking and map control and is generally a good item on her. Nullfire and Geometer's let you semi-carry later on as well as adding another slow, more confusion and another mana burn.

Alternative Items:
- Codex. Yep I said it. Codex might actually be good on her. I didn't test it yet, but it was good on pub Nerubian Assassin and thus it most likely will work on Fayde. Get it in place of Puzzle Box if you decide to get one at all.

Information:
Roles: Ganker, Semi-Carry
Prefered Lane: Any
Difficulty: 2 - Easy
Farming capabilities: 3 - Medium
Item dependancy: 3 - Medium (Not so sure here, but she ain't no carry)
Power:
- Early Game / Lane Control: 4 - Strong
- Mid Game / Ganks: 5 - Very Strong
- Late Game / Team Fights: 3 - Medium
Power Ratings are pure speculation atm!

30-Seconds-Guide:
- At level 6+ you can use your ult, send the image on your lane and micro it to get last hits while you sneak off and gank another lane. No miss calls or wards will see you coming and should net you a kill.
- If you have Puzzle Box you can use your ultimate to slow the enemy (while staying invis) while your minions beat on the fleeing enemy. Guillotine/Stun to finish him.
- As far as I have seen her playstyle is similar to nerubian assasin from dota. Sneak up invis, unleash hell. Don't just use invis to escape, that is wasted potential. You should be ganking and not farming at all.

Counters:
- Carry dust. When she ults use it to try and prevent her from escaping.
- She is no carry, so you don't need to be too worried about her getting freefarm. Actually let her farm, thats better than having her roaming around.
- As with any ganking hero, wards are a good counter. But do note she has invis and can sneak past wards.
