What the item does
01
Passive: Spellover
Dealing 200 spell damage to an enemy causes them to overheat and deal damage to their allies in a 300 unit radius. Hero targets deal 80 damage to their allies, other targets deal 20 damage.
How I decide
«I prepare Spellover for a target with follow-up around them.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- Spells can cross the damage threshold on an enemy near their allies.
- 02 My decision
- I choose the sequence of magical hits and useful positioning of the overheated target.
- 03 What I avoid
- Spend the combo on an isolated target expecting the same damage as against a group.
When to choose
When tier 4 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.
Stats and key conditions
Valve notes
- Overheat can trigger no more than once every 0.1 seconds.
- The damage counter on the target resets if it takes no damage for 6 seconds.
