Tips

 * Mask of Madness is the most cost-effective Attack Speed item in the game, costing only 18 gold per point of Attack speed.
 * Works well with Bash effects. The movement speed allows you to chase and the bash prevents your prey from hitting you back effectively.
 * Some heroes with very high right-click damage output such as Sven and Tiny can easily offset the damage amplification with the lifesteal.
 * The active is extremely useful while farming. Taking 30% more damage is negligible when simply running between lanes or hitting lane or jungle creeps.
 * The user should always be wary of heroes with high burst such as Nyx Assassin or Lina that can really capitalize from the damage amplification, especially if the enemy has vision while the item is active.
 * One of the best ways to counter a Mask of Madness users in a fight is to focus them down with nukes and disables while they are taking more damage.
 * It is possible to work around this vulnerability by buying to avoid being nuked or disabled by spells, items, etc.
