What the item does
01
Active: Cripple
Roots the target for 2 seconds.
How I decide
«The root holds their feet; I still check the target's other responses.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- We need to stop enemy movement to land our spell.
- 02 My decision
- I use Atos for a prepared combo and immediately assess how the target can protect themselves or remove the effect.
- 03 What I avoid
- Expect a root to automatically prohibit every item and ability.
When I would buy it
As an affordable disable for a specific combo.
