What the item does
Passive: Combo Breaker
If the owner's health falls below 70%, they gain a magical shield that applies a strong dispel to remove most effects. It also grants 75% status resistance and prevents them from dealing or taking damage for 2.5 seconds. Only player damage can trigger it. The cooldown increases after each trigger.
Dispel Type: Strong Dispel
- 01
Focus
Player damage drops health below 70%.
- 02
A breather
A strong dispel and 2,5 seconds without dealing or taking damage.
- 03
The next attempt
Cooldown: 105 → 125 → 145 → 165 seconds. I reassess my position.
How I decide
«After the disk triggers, I reposition instead of celebrating immortality.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- I am found first and lose health faster than I can respond.
- 02 My decision
- I use the breathing room to retreat or press another useful button. Before the next fight, I check the disk's readiness and increasing cooldown.
- 03 What I avoid
- Stay in the same position and expect the disk to stop the next attack too.
When I would buy it
Against repeated instant focus fire. On a support, it often comes after core items, but a serious threat can move it up the list.

My Witch Doctor build path
On Witch Doctor, I usually reach Aeon Disk after boots, Glimmer, Aghanim's Scepter and Shard. After that, I may choose BKB or Aether Lens. This is my reference point: dangerous focus fire can call for protection earlier.
- 01
BootsMovement speed and a suitable boots upgrade.
- 02
GlimmerA save and a window to reposition.
- 03
Aghanim's ScepterAn ability upgrade for the job I need to do.
- 04
ShardAn extra option for the hero.
- 05
Aeon DiskAn automatic response to the opening focus fire.
BKBIf I need protection while using my abilities.
Aether LensIf keeping a safe distance matters more.A flexible sequence with no mandatory timings: threats, income and upgrade availability change the priorities.
Which heroes I would try it on
Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.
What to compare it with
Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.
