What the item does
Active: Energy Charge
Instantly restores 15 health and mana per charge stored.
Can hold up to 10 charges. Gains one charge whenever a visible enemy within a 1200 radius uses an ability.
How I decide
«Stick is valuable where enemies actually cast abilities nearby.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The lane regularly fills the item through eligible ability uses.
- 02 My decision
- I check the charge count and keep the instant resources for continuing the trade.
- 03 What I avoid
- Plan an escape with an empty Stick without looking at its charges.
When I would buy it
In lane, if the enemies actually generate charges.
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.
