N'aix has two ways to be played, generally.
He is either jungled or put in a lane to farm.
Jungling works but isn't the best, laning n'aix is a force to watch out for.
He has an incredibly good slow and is capable of simply killing any enemy that'd dare to step into his lane.
As far as items go, if you're doing well early on you can get a hand of midas to boost your exp and gold intake early on. Boots of choice are typically phase boots to help with lacking gap-closer, that or power treads. Drums of endurance is a great item for early aggression and armlet is one of the most core items on n'aix due to how good synergy it has with him.
Later on items you'll want are generally: Assault cuirass, mjolnir, heart, satanic, MKB and daedalus. Different item has different ups and downs.
Your slow has maximum effect at level 1, so you don't have to put more than 1 point in it early on, you can focus on maxing rage and feast.
An early maelstrom is also nice to speed up your farming if you're farming more than fighting.
N'aix is strongest in the mid-game with an items like Phase boots, drums, armlet and then just fight fight fight.
Also Black king bar isn't a bad item on n'aix if your enemies have ways to drag fights out and they all posses a lot of disables/have bought lots of scythes of vyse.
BKB+Rage= 20+ seconds of magic immunity at maximum BKB charges, and 15 seconds magic immunity at minimum. It's good, but not needed in all games, most of the time rage on its own is fine.
N'aix is best laned with other aggressive heroes that can follow up on what he does, like a support vengeful spirit, crystal maiden, rubick, ogre magi(Ogre and n'aix are surpisingly strong in lane together due to the high kill potential.
Anything that can get early kills together with n'aixs slow is great.
Anything that can let n'aix farm up is great too.
Oh and i just realized i used n'aix all along, n'aix is lifestealer's name. Hope i didn't confuse you.
