What the item does
01
How it works
Passive bonuses: agility 10.
How I decide
«Blade of Alacrity: I buy this component for useful attacks and armour.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- An attacking agility hero needs a little tempo on the way to a major item.
- 02 My decision
- I assess how ‘10 agility’ helps in the next trade. I check the next step, Diffusal Blade, against the immediate task rather than buying it automatically.
- 03 What I avoid
- I do not trade target access for attributes when distance is the main problem right now.
When I would buy it
At the start or as a component for a farming and fighting item. First, I decide whether I need damage or a way to reach my target.
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.
