What the item does
01
How it works
Passive bonuses: area radius 40.
How I decide
«I apply the larger radius to my specific area.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The hero has a useful area spell that lacks width to connect.
- 02 My decision
- I compare area radius with cast range: they are different ways to reach the target I need.
- 03 What I avoid
- Treat increased area radius as increased range from which I can cast the ability.
When I would buy it
When I have to get too close. The purchase is especially useful if range is already limiting my fight plan.
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.
