When to Buy
- Purchase in the late game to shut down ability-reliant heroes with a Silence, preventing them from using ultimates or escape tools.
- Strong against targets with high survivability, as the 30% damage pop helps secure kills on enemies that might otherwise survive a burst window.
- Effective for reducing an enemy’s Spirit Power and Spirit Resist, making them significantly more vulnerable to your team’s magic damage.
- Note: Purging the silence with a Dispel Magic will still trigger the delayed damage effect.
Synergies
- Haze: The silence prevents enemies from using escape abilities or CC during her ultimate, while the damage pop rewards her high fire rate and DPS.
- Wraith: Enhances her pickoff potential by adding a silence to her existing lockdown, ensuring targets cannot fight back or teleport away.
- Pocket: Allows Pocket to safely dive and silence a key target while applying their high-damage Spirit abilities and damage-over-time effects.
