What the item does

Passive: Pierce
Grants each attack a 25% chance to pierce through evasion and deal 60 bonus magical damage.
How I decide
«I choose Javelin for the next item and actual attacks.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The hero has attacks to use Pierce and a chosen path for the rest of the build.
- 02 My decision
- I buy the component for this upgrade path and account for the extra hit being chance-based.
- 03 What I avoid
- Hold a component without an upgrade plan for a guaranteed hit it does not provide.
When I would buy it
As a component, if the next item is already chosen and you can make use of attacks.
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.
Builds into
BloodthornConnections through Valve recipes. Owning a component does not oblige me to buy its upgrade immediately.
