Shadow Blade or Glimmer Cape

Hello Guys,

I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new topic that is ‘Shadow Blade or Glimmer Cape’. As we discussed some items are categories based on the roles like carry and support.

As we first consider glimmer cape this is something a support player goes so that on ganking him he has something to escape. The good part of glimmer cape is that it cast during channeling which means spells like freezing field, black hole, death ward etc. Some time what happens is enemy hero does not have dust and when you cast your channeling spell that there are chances you might get a kill. So, in this way you can win a team fight. the best part of glimmer cape is that it can be casted on our friends which mean not only you but you can also help your core to escape a fight.

Now let’s see shadow blade. As a personal experience I can tell this item is not good for core there are many reasons for it. As it was buffed in the recent patch it is good some hero like tiny, lina, drow ranger, sniper etc. The good part is it gives you invisibility, attack speed, damage. The bad part is it does not give you any stats which are agility, strength, intelligence. Which means you don’t get any benefit in stats after spending 3k on an item. But due to the buff in sliver edge which is upgraded version of shadow blade silver edge applies break when you first attack when you break invisibility.

The bad part of shadow blade is that it cannot be used on other heroes. The biggest disadvantage is that this item is countered by other item whose cost is 80 gold. That item is dust. Not only it makes you visible but also slows you by 14% which is big. So, if only you have to go then only go for it because there are many other options like S&Y, manta style, skadi etc.

Thank you, guys for reading this post and stay tune for more dota 2 related content.

Good Game

Pure Damage

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new form of damage that is ‘ Pure ’. This post will be very short because the concept of pure damage is very simple. First let us discuss what hero’s and items do pure damage. Heroes like Pudge, Bane, Specter etc. have abilities that does pure damage. There are no such items yet that does pure damage there are some items like MKB which pierce the evasion and deals damage but that is not pure. Let us see with an example how does a pure damage works but first let us compare it with other form of damage. As we know that in damage types like physical and magical there are ways to reduce it buy in pure damage you cannot reduce it. Its means that if a hero ability damage is 300 and it is pure then the damage taken by you is also 300. Yes, there is no magic resistance in it. So, in short there is no way in which you can reduce the effect but you can survive it like making blade mail it will reflect damage in the same way done to ...

Status Effect :- Root

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new status effect which is ‘ Root ’. It is a very simple concept with respect to other status effect we discussed. So, in a root enemy hero cannot move or use any abilities or item that contribute in movement. Root :- So, the above image is just a representation of the of root. Heroes like Meepo, Naga Siren, Oracle etc. have abilities which can root enemy hero. Unlike other status effect in root, you can attack but you cannot move or use abilities that relates to movement of the hero. So, it is a good way of keeping enemy hero in place and attack them. It is very easy to dispel root. Items like BKB, Manta Style, Guardian Greaves etc. can be used to dispel root. It is a good way to initiate a fight let’s take an example of it. Pudge first ability hook is something you need to be very particular so what most of the players do is root an enemy hero and then hook him so that it is a confirm initiation of the fight. Thank you, ...
