I would consider strength when I need health and a clear component for my next purchase. On a strength hero, it also contributes to damage.

How it works

Passive bonuses: strength 3.

RUSLAN / IN-GAME DECISION

How I decide

«Gauntlets of Strength: I buy this component for strength in the next trade.»

Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
01 Situation
This hero benefits from the resources strength provides on the way to the chosen major purchase.
02 My decision
I assess how ‘3 strength’ helps in the next trade. I check the next step, Bracer, against the immediate task rather than buying it automatically.
03 What I avoid
I do not treat added strength as a separate active save from disables.
02 / MY GUIDELINE

When I would buy it

At the start or on the way to a chosen upgrade. I buy an expensive component when it will not delay a more useful active ability.

04 / HERO AND TASK

Which heroes I would try it on

Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.

05 / ANOTHER ANSWER

What to compare it with

Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.

Builds into

Connections through Valve recipes. Owning a component does not oblige me to buy its upgrade immediately.
