What the item does
01
Active: Refract
Spend 8% of your current life total to create a full health illusion that lasts for 20 seconds. The illusion has 60% outgoing damage and takes 200% of incoming damage.
How I decide
«I give the extra illusion a task as soon as it is created.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The hero can turn an illusion into pressure, scouting or useful extra damage.
- 02 My decision
- I account for the current health cost, direct the illusion and assess its multipliers separately.
- 03 What I avoid
- Create a copy under dangerous focus without a health reserve and leave it uncontrolled.
When to choose
When tier 5 neutral items become available. I choose from the current options for the hero's next task; this item is not bought with gold.
Which heroes I would try it on
Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.
