What the item does
Active: Phase
Increases movement speed by 20% for melee heroes and 10% for ranged heroes, allows movement through units and increases turn speed. Lasts 3 seconds. Movement speed bonuses from multiple pairs of boots do not stack.
How I decide
«Phase helps you pass through creeps, but not every problem.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- Creeps prevent me reaching a target or leaving a trade.
- 02 My decision
- I use the active movement for my chosen route and assess the available terrain separately.
- 03 What I avoid
- Order the hero through impassable terrain, treating movement through units as unrestricted flying.
When I would buy it
Early, for closing the gap or moving easily out of a creep crowd.
