I would buy an aura to fit the team's overall plan: pushing together, taking long fights or playing around objectives. Before buying it, I agree on who will carry it.

RUSLAN / IN-GAME DECISION

How I decide

«I bring the aura's armour to the trade where my ally needs it.»

Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
01 Situation
In lane, I have to take physical attacks beside my partner.
02 My decision
I use the shared bonus and do not duplicate the same aura unnecessarily.
03 What I avoid
Go far away with a purchase meant to support a shared engagement.
02 / MY GUIDELINE

When I would buy it

When the team actually groups up; I compare the team-wide effect with the single-target save we need.

03 / BUILD

04 / HERO AND TASK

Which heroes I would try it on

Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.

05 / ANOTHER ANSWER

What to compare it with

Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.

Builds into

Connections through Valve recipes. Owning a component does not oblige me to buy its upgrade immediately.
