What the item does

Consume health to temporarily gain 25 damage for 8 seconds.
How I decide
«I pay health for extra damage within my chosen window.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The hero can make a series of attacks and does not expect instant focus on themselves.
- 02 My decision
- I use Imbrue for prepared attacks, assessing the loss of my own health reserve in advance.
- 03 What I avoid
- Trade health for damage, then spend the entire empowered window running away.
