When to Buy
- Purchase this during the mid-game (10-20 min) once you have unlocked your hero’s primary duration-based ability.
- It is a necessary purchase if you plan to upgrade into Superior Duration for late-game power spikes.
- Strong against teams that rely on mobility to escape area-of-effect abilities; the extra duration forces them to stay out of the fight longer.
- Ideal for “Zone Control” heroes who need to maintain pressure on objectives or “Initiators” who need to maximize their CC windows.
