What the item does
Active: Rite of Rumusque
Makes the owner ethereal, granting complete protection from physical damage but preventing attacks and increasing incoming magic damage. Lasts 4 seconds.
Every second, steals 6% movement speed from enemy heroes within a 900 radius for 2 seconds.
Passive: Putrefaction Aura
Reduces nearby enemies' health restoration by 30%. During Rite of Rumusque, this increases to 90%, and all health restoration lost by enemies is redirected to the owner every second.
Radius: 900
How I decide
«While ethereal, I choose nearby enemies especially carefully.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- I need protection from physical focus, and the nearby anti-recovery aura is useful.
- 02 My decision
- I keep the relevant enemies in range but distinguish their attacks from dangerous magical abilities.
- 03 What I avoid
- Enter magical focus just because physical attacks are not frightening right now.
When I would buy it
As an upgrade for a specific close-range fight and anti-heal, after basic protection.

- Shares cooldown with Ghost Scepter and its upgrades.
- Putrefaction Aura does not redirect Health Restoration from enemy heroes that are at full health.
