What the item does
01
Passive: Salvo
20% of the mana used to cast abilities is recovered over 10 seconds.
How I decide
«Mana returns after the button; I still have to pay for the first button.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The hero frequently spends mana on abilities and keeps the active cycle going.
- 02 My decision
- I account for the return over time when planning the next use, while keeping resources for the first step.
- 03 What I avoid
- Start a combo without opening mana, counting on a later return.
When to choose
When tier 3 neutral items become available. I choose from the current options for the hero's next task; this item is not bought with gold.
Which heroes I would try it on
Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.
