What the item does
Active: Ghost Form
Makes the owner ethereal, granting complete protection from physical damage but preventing attacks and increasing incoming magic damage. Lasts 4 seconds.
How I decide
«In Ghost, I stop fearing attacks and start watching the spellcasters.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- A dangerous attacking hero has caught me, and there is a nearby window to retreat.
- 02 My decision
- I activate the ethereal effect against physical focus and avoid magical hits during it.
- 03 What I avoid
- Use Ghost in the middle of a magical combo without assessing the increased threat.
When I would buy it
Against repeated attack-based focus fire. This is personal protection, so I think about team saves separately.
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.
