Fact of the Day

Captain Planet · 05-07-2010, 04:22 AM

Broodmother can lifesteal using her ultimate while attacking the enemy fountain.

Although I haven't tried it, I think all lifesteal abilities will work on the fountain, since it's a unit, not a building (as demonstrated by it being damaged by Radiance)

The attached replay is proof about Brood if you don't believe me

Lion's "Mana Drain", when casted on an illusion, will dispell it after the first tick of mana is drained.

SN0W37 · 05-07-2010, 05:41 AM

Any hardcoded life or mana drain will destroy an illusion on the first tick, not just lions mana drain.

Note soulsteal will not do this as it does use a hardcoded life drain but is instead triggered.

Laged · 05-07-2010, 05:42 AM

Hex will instantly destroy illusions, too.

Soul Steal uses a dummy unit which casts hardcoded Life Drain on the enemy, if cast on one, or on Terrorblade himself, if cast on an ally. It is the heal (if cast on an enemy, Terrorblade is healed by the triggers, if not, the ally is) which is triggered, and not the damage, so yes, it will destroy enemy illusions as well (but not allied).

Bounty hunter's Jinada skill works on towers. But only the maim.

Lol, double-post.

OnT: Bounty Hunter's Jinada's critical stacks with Crystalys and Buriza-do-Kyanon critical.

Unnamed_ · 05-07-2010, 02:53 PM

If Buriza is to proc on the attack you are going to proc Jinada's critical, Buriza's critical will be wasted, because Jinada's critical will be aquired after Buriza, since it is reapplied to the hero as a 100% chance 2x damage skill.

Aura-Based ones will work.Satanic, MoM, HotD won't work.
Brood uses an aura for her ultimate.

Ensnare stop Channeling skills.

Force staff doesn't cancel channeling allies or opponents. A nice trick is to get CM to cast ulti then force her to opponents.

Really? I never knew that. ^

You can stop a techies from suiciding by using decrepify or ethereal blade.
You can also prevent damage by using decrepify, ethereal blade, or ghost scepter.

darxide · 05-08-2010, 05:22 AM

decrepify/ghost scepter/ethereal blade keeps you from getting damaged by thechies suicide and landmines. remote mined get amplified.

you can hook tornado of wildkin with pudge.

Diffusial Blade's sell price is 0 when there are no Purge charges left.

HamsterXD · 05-09-2010, 05:07 PM

IF you activate Blade Mail and go through Goblin Techies mines, the damage will be returned to Goblin Techies

JohannDesu · 05-09-2010, 05:24 PM

ursa's fury swipes affects fountain too.

jesusatan · 05-09-2010, 05:31 PM

Crystal Maiden's Frostbite works on the fountain, too. Thus preventing it from attacking.

Are you certain? Have you tested it?
Cos I've played a game with BH (pub so don't bother asking for replays, cos I didn't save any), and scored Criticals of 900++ at times. I had only 200+ damage by then so the only way I could have gotten 900++ was if both Crits stacked.

I'm not asking to appear "pro-er than thou", just because I want a confirmation, after all I could've mistaken the number 4 for a 9, and have been harking the wrong tips to my friends.
