When to Buy
- Purchase when facing teams with heavy crowd control (stuns, sleeps, snares) to significantly reduce their duration.
- Strong for heroes who can sustain the 50/s health drain through natural regen or lifesteal.
- Buy when you need a reliable movement speed and fire rate boost for chasing or escaping without a cooldown.
- Effective against heroes like Abrams, Grey Talon, and Mo & Krill whose CC can be mitigated.
Synergies
- Abrams: His high health pool and regeneration make the health drain negligible, while the debuff resistance keeps him mobile in the frontline.
- Mo & Krill: The added fire rate and movement speed enhance their dive potential, and debuff resistance prevents them from being easily peeled.
- Haze: Benefits greatly from the fire rate boost during her ultimate and the movement speed for repositioning.
