What the item does
Active: Mend
Restores 325 health and 200 mana to nearby allies, and removes most negative effects from the caster.
Radius: 1200. Dispel type: basic
Passive: Guardian Aura
Grants 2.5 health regeneration and 1.5 mana regeneration to allied units. If the wearer's health falls below 25%, their health regeneration is increased to 14.5.
Radius: 1200. Movement speed bonuses from multiple pairs of boots do not stack.
How I decide
«Greaves help everyone nearby; the owner gets the dispel.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The group is spending health and mana, and I have a disruptive effect removable by a basic dispel.
- 02 My decision
- I use Mend near the team and account for the shared restriction on repeat healing after Mekansm.
- 03 What I avoid
- Promise an ally I will remove their silence with Greaves: this use dispels me.
When I would buy it
After Mekansm and Arcane Boots, if playing together justifies the upgrade cost.
