What the item does
Passive: Empower Spell
The next ability targeted at an enemy separately deals an additional 250 damage, slows their movement by 30% and disables their passive abilities. Duration: 4 seconds.
How I decide
«I pay for Khanda when my ability and damage converge on one target.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The hero's targeted ability is a useful part of repeated focus.
- 02 My decision
- I compare the upgrade's extra value with the protection and control I need now.
- 03 What I avoid
- Buy Phylactery's upgrade only because I already own the base component.
When I would buy it
After assessing the upgrade's value for my particular hero.
