Tips

 * When facing a lot of magical damage or many disables, a Black King Bar alone can provide enough survivability, allowing carry heroes to focus on damage items after having Black King Bar.
 * Vice versa, Black King Bar is not effective against physical damage, or spell immunity piercing spells, so other items for survivability should be considered (e.g. armor items against physical damage, or escape items against some spells).
 * Black King Bar applies a basic dispel on cast allowing to clear out most negative status debuffs. Instead of casting it hastily to engage at first sight, a reactive activation against a debuff will be more beneficial.
 * is a good combination with, because it can force an enemy hero to cast his most powerful single-targeted ability on you. However, spending two inventory slots on defensive items means less room for damage and utility items, so think before you buy. You must also remember that debuff immunity does not stop opponents from casting abilities targeting you even if they are blocked by debuff immunity, allowing opponents to waste your Linken's Sphere during Avatar.
 * Even with active, you must be careful when you are health is very low, as the abilities that deal magical damage but can't pierce debuff immunity can still damage and kill you if your health is too low, even if their damage output will be reduced by 50% for the duration of Avatar.
