What the item does
01
How it works
Passive bonuses: health 200; mana regeneration 1.8; damage 14.
How I decide
«A small intermediate item must earn its place too.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- Health, damage and mana regeneration all help in lane, while the major purchase is still ahead.
- 02 My decision
- I assess the upcoming trades Falcon will change and how much it will delay a key item.
- 03 What I avoid
- Automatically build convenient small items when I already need a specific urgent answer.
When I would buy it
Early, if extra health, damage and mana matter more than reaching a major item sooner.

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.
