Well, what additional info you want to hear except this bullshit? Items in this list have an AoE of 400 and CAN INTERRUPT heal of Salve or evoke neutral creeps at night if you use item on this area of effect cause any item above deals ZERO damage. In my humble opinion this is works because all of items have this line in code

targs1=air,ground,enemy,organic

Instead of

targs1=none

Where can you use this knowledge?

1. You can easily escape with awoken neutrals [like Centaur's Khan] at the Sentinel's pooling spot using item based on AEfk and cutting the tree with QB.
2. You can easily steal kill at your teammate AA by very quickly clicking on one of those items [I prefer PT because it has no cd]
3. You can easily interrupt Healing Salve or Clarity between your attacks.

A big thanks Cáno for some solutions to the problems associated with this code /(.-.)\

Great! Explains a lot of things.
PT switch is an important skill for Meepo to stack several neutrals at the same time.
And another comes to my mind is when Pudge chasing some enemy with high speed, when the enemy tries to use the healing salve or bottle, Pudge can use magic stick to interrupt healing salve in case of losing enemy (lvl 1 rot won't interrupt and a attack make you slow down)

Christ, your grammar sucks.

Nice idea with Meepo, btw.
As for Pudge, he can use Salve or/and Bottle with Rot and you can interrupt it like np. Anyway, it's definitely nice idea [originally it comes to my mind]

I suggest you should add Fan Of Knives damage type, in case some people asking why a 0 damage could interrupt bottle while Pudge's rot couldn't.

Since this guide is about Fan of Knives,

I guess you should also include that Heat Seeking Missile and Echo Slam doesn't affect Ethereal units because they are based on Fan of Knives.

Also, Scream of Pain wasn't able to damage Ethereal units, But it was changed at 6.66

No, IIRC. Heat Seeking Missile don't affect Ethereal units because it deals Physical damage for part of Echo Slam, it deals Enchanced damage which doesn't cause damage to Ethereal units too.

[Darkmeplez]

Actually, both deals DT: Enhanced AT: Spell.

Edit: Also, Death Pulse had this problem as well but it was fixed.
