When to Buy
- Strong against high-health tank heroes to reduce their maximum HP pool.
- Effective in long team fights where you can accumulate multiple stacks on enemies.
- Good for snowballing when you can secure kills to build permanent health stacks.
- Be cautious if enemies buy Dispel Magic, as it clears the temporary stacks.
Synergies
- Abrams: The health steal triggers his regeneration passive, and the increased max health synergizes with his tanky playstyle.
- Haze: Her high attack speed allows her to easily apply stacks whenever the cooldown is up, making her deceptively tanky in duels.
