What the item does
Active: Shadow Walk
Makes the hero invisible for 17 seconds or until they attack or cast an ability. Also increases movement speed by 20% and allows movement through units.
Attacking to end the invisibility will deal 300 bonus physical damage, disable their passive abilities for 5 seconds, and cap their movement speed to 200.
How I decide
«I choose Break against a named passive it actually disables.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- An enemy passive mechanic prevents us finishing our focus.
- 02 My decision
- I check the interaction and prepare the revealing attack for team follow-up.
- 03 What I avoid
- Treat every hero strength as a passive that Silver Edge automatically solves.
When I would buy it
When a specific enemy passive mechanic prevents us from focusing them down.
