What the item does
Passive: Splitshot
Ranged attacks have a 30% chance to fire additional projectiles at up to 2 nearby enemies with 150 extra range and within a 120 degree angle in front of the attacker. The additional projectiles deal 20 + 75% damage of a normal attack and do not trigger on hit effects. The primary attack deals 20 + 100% damage of a normal attack.
How I decide
«Extra targets require me to attack in the correct direction.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- A ranged hero can attack several targets ahead.
- 02 My decision
- I choose my position and primary target so secondary hits provide value.
- 03 What I avoid
- Expect every normal attack effect on secondary targets despite Splitshot's restrictions.
