What the item does
01
Passive: Balance
For each ability off cooldown, the owner gains +7% mana cost reduction; for each ability on cooldown, they gain +6% spell damage.
How I decide
«Ready abilities and abilities on cooldown provide different value.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The number of abilities available to the hero changes during the combo.
- 02 My decision
- Before the first cycle, I assess the mana savings; after casting, I use the contribution to later spell damage.
- 03 What I avoid
- Treat both maximum bonus sets as permanently active at once.
When to choose
When tier 5 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.
