I would upgrade Crystalys to Daedalus for stronger attack damage. First, I check whether protection or accuracy matters more.

RUSLAN / IN-GAME DECISION

How I decide

«Daedalus amplifies attacks delivered, not the number of attempts to approach.»

Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
01 Situation
The hero already attacks reliably in fights and needs the next step in physical damage.
02 My decision
I check that protection and access to the target let me use Crystalys's expensive upgrade.
03 What I avoid
Get stronger on paper and continue making no attacks.
02 / MY GUIDELINE

When I would buy it

Valve notes

  • Phantom Critical does not work against buildings.

Game effects and recipes are a snapshot of official data. My guidelines are choices for a task, not a promise of the same build every match. Values for several stages, where present, are separated by ‘/’.
