 * Infused Raindrop completely blocks the damage of 's Cyclone, so that the Cyclone cannot disable, allowing the holder to instantly blink away.
 * It is useful against heroes that harass early lanes with magical, especially against heroes with stronger nukes and a high mana cost like. like, , , and.
 * It is also good against lower nukes, like 's spells, and, although these spells are in return able to burn through raindrops faster than the heavy nukes. This also applies to 's and its upgrade's Chain Lightning.
