Best hero combos :
Electrician: With his static grip there will be no problem for you to spin and get 100% use of it.
Glacius: Ranged stun and slow, + he gives you a mana regen aura.
Puppet master: What more is there to say? he has sick many disables, perfect for your spin.
Pollywog priest: this is probably the best laner for you, he has hex, he has a grip skill thats perfect for your spin and he generally is sex for your lane.
Worst enemies
Night hound: Can invis away from your ultimate and go invis when you spin, also has the irritating cloud thats pretty anti you.
Jereziah: Well, skills that blocks your attacks and they last
FOREVER.
Accursed: Shield that blocks your damage and when you ult him you do him the big favour of healing him to full hp.
scout: Invis heroes in general because of your ultimate
Starting items
2x 
2x 
1x
This is your starting order, you buy 2
Pretenders Crown, 2
Runes of the Blight, and 1
Mana Potion. by doing this you boost your stats so you can survive early in the game and you have some health and mana regen.
Buy order
2x
This should be your primary buying order for your first items, with this build you will gain hp regen to stay in lane while you use blights to, and you will have enough mana to use skills / go gank around. 2 bracers are needed to survive through the game.
Endgame build
Theese 3 items should be a must on your hero, you use the
Trinket of Restoration to complete your
Abyssal Skull while you use your
Sustainer to build your
Runed Axe. If you get more farm you go for the
Wingbow.
What boots?
Well there arent really any boots that doesent suit swiftblade. It really does depend on the situation. If you get amazing farm and feel like you have a team you should gank alot with you would go for
Post Haste. But otherwise i would choose
Steam Boots with
STRENGHT options on, mainly because you will need some extra HP. If the opponent team has many heroes with speed abilities like leap, pestilences speed spell, then
ench marchers would be a good choise.
Other items
Depending on the situation you should either carry a bag of dust or a teleport scroll on you at all times. if they have picked heroes that has a massive amount of magic damage then a
SHRUNKEN HEAD would be a great item for your hero since you may have to carry your team to victory lategame.
Skill order:
1. Blade frenzy
2. Stats
3. Blade frenzy
4. Stats
5. Blade frenzy
6. Swift slashes
7. Blade frenzy
8. Way of the sword
9. Counter attack
10. Way of the sword
11. Swift slashes
12. Stats
13. Way of the sword
14. Way of the sword
15. Stats
16. Swift slashes
17-20. Counter attack
21-25. Stats
Yeah well really it depends on how many meele heroes the other team has, but this is mainly what i go for each game. Stats pregame to get some more hp and mana while i max out Blade frenzy. Then by levling both crit and meele dodge one level, you have a chance to both dodge and crit. Levling crit to early can ruin your lasthitting so there is no real point in levling it before the stats early on in the game.
