What the item does
Passive: Echo Strike
Causes melee attacks to attack twice in quick succession. The double attacks apply a 100% movement slow for 0.8 seconds on the first strike.
How I decide
«A double attack is good in a trade I can continue.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- A melee hero has a short window for two hits and a slow.
- 02 My decision
- I choose a target within safe contact; I consider Harpoon only if distance remains the obstacle afterwards.
- 03 What I avoid
- Buy Echo Strike for a ranged hero or without a way to approach.
When I would buy it
For fighting after basic resources; I choose the upgrade based on the need to close the gap.
