What the item does
Use: Reveal
For 12 seconds, creates an area with a radius of 1050 around the cast point that reveals invisible heroes and slows them by 20%. Deals 25 damage to invisible units revealed by using this item.
The effect remains on enemies for 8 seconds after they leave the area.
How I decide
«Dust is needed before a move against invisibility, not after it escapes.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- An invisible enemy can break the focus already started and escape.
- 02 My decision
- I carry the consumable beforehand and create a detection area along their likely route.
- 03 What I avoid
- Remember detection only after the team has already lost the target.
When I would buy it
Before going after invisible heroes, rather than after their first escape.
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.
