I would buy Urn for active rotations near kills. Charges let me support an ally or keep applying pressure.

RUSLAN / IN-GAME DECISION

How I decide

«With Urn, I need successful plays nearby, not quiet solo farming.»

Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
01 Situation
The team is ready for small fights together and further movement.
02 My decision
I agree who owns Urn, gather charges near kills and use them in the next useful moment.
03 What I avoid
Buy Urn on several supports and expect resources without participating near the team.

What to compare it with

Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.

Connections through Valve recipes. Owning a component does not oblige me to buy its upgrade immediately.

  • Empty urns gain 2 charges.
  • If the allied unit is attacked by an enemy hero or Roshan, the effect is lost.
  • Does not trigger spell block or spell reflect.
