What the item does
Active: Soul Burn
Silences the target unit for 5 seconds. At the end of the silence, 30% of the damage received while silenced is inflicted as bonus magical damage.
How I decide
«Silence is valuable before the defensive button, not after.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- A mobile opponent escapes with their own ability while they lack a convenient answer to silence.
- 02 My decision
- I start the catch with Orchid and follow up with my own damage immediately.
- 03 What I avoid
- Forget the target can use eligible items and remove the silence.
When I would buy it
For active moves against a vulnerable target; it is important to use the purchase before their answers are ready.

What to compare it with
