How I decide
«I give Solar to someone who can both survive focus and attack in time.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The core is ready to attack a hero or objective, but physical pressure prevents them continuing.
- 02 My decision
- I choose a moment when the ally can use the barrier together with attack speed and the other bonuses.
- 03 What I avoid
- Give a fleeing ally a damage buff when they are not attacking at all right now.
When I would buy it
After a support's basic needs, as a Pavise upgrade when the extra bonuses are truly needed.

What to compare it with
