Adds a slowing effect to the owner’s attacks for 3 seconds. The target’s attack speed is reduced by 25%; the movement slow depends on its attack type: 25% for melee units and 50% for ranged units. Also reduces affected targets’ health restoration by 50%.
How I decide
«I keep Skadi on an important target with my attacks.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The opponent leaves after a trade and has time to recover.
- 02 My decision
- I keep Cold Attack on my chosen target and coordinate the same focus with the team.
- 03 What I avoid
- Scatter isolated hits and lose the slow on the very hero I need to hold.
