How I decide
«Fire is needed near targets I can hold safely.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The hero or their illusions are near waves and opponents.
- 02 My decision
- I choose a route with useful nearby targets and account for the illusions' separate damage.
- 03 What I avoid
- Stay in a dangerous fight just for a weak aura tick.
When to choose
When tier 3 neutral items become available. I choose from the current options for the hero's next task; this item is not bought with gold.
Which heroes I would try it on
Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.
