What the item does
01
How it works
Passive bonuses: damage 20.
How I decide
«Claymore: I buy this component for last hits and actual attack damage.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The hero can already attack, and the next item uses this component.
- 02 My decision
- I assess how ‘20 damage’ helps in the next trade. I check the next step, Butterfly, against the immediate task rather than buying it automatically.
- 03 What I avoid
- I do not spend income only on damage while the main fight happens without access to the target.
When I would buy it
For last-hitting in lane or building toward a damage item. I compare an expensive component with a complete tempo item.
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.
