What the item does
01
Active: Bloodthirst
Gain 15% base damage and 30 attack speed for 6 seconds.
02
Passive: Bloodrush
Enemy heroes dying within 1500 units reset the cooldown of Bloodthirst.
How I decide
«I use Bloodthirst for attacks now; an enemy death prepares another window.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- A nearby trade is starting where I can use base damage and attack speed.
- 02 My decision
- I activate the buff for my own attacks; after a nearby enemy dies, I recheck whether the active effect is ready.
- 03 What I avoid
- Confuse Bloodthirst with lifesteal or expect a reset without an eligible death.
When to choose
When tier 4 neutral items become available. I choose from the current options for the hero's next task; this item is not bought with gold.
Which heroes I would try it on
Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.
