What the item does
Active: Hurricane Thrust
Pushes the enemy target and the owner 425 apart. If the owner is ranged, they can then make up to 5 attacks on the target over the next 5 seconds without a range limit. These attacks gain 100 attack speed.
When used on yourself or allies, pushes the target 600. Cast range on enemies: 425.
How I decide
«Pike has two jobs; the choice of use determines the result.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- I need to pull an ally out or solve distance in my own ranged trade.
- 02 My decision
- I choose the cast target for the current danger and plan subsequent attacks or retreat.
- 03 What I avoid
- Use only the familiar push and forget the conditions of the second combat option.
When I would buy it
As soon as positioning stops me from contributing; upgrades come after the hero's main needs.

Valve notes

- Will not work on a unit inside Chronosphere, Duel, or Black Hole.
- Attack Range bonuses from Monkey King Bar and Dragon Lance and its upgrades do not stack.
