Tips

 * Winter Wyvern has an extremely high cast range for all of her spells, use this to your advantage when in a team fight or gank and try to stay back and provide support for your team. This in combination with mobility items such as blink and force staff can give players an extreme advantage.
 * In a teamfight it is vital to use Winter's Curse on an important hero in order to keep him/her locked down and unable to do anything. Good examples are carries and anyone with a powerful disable.
 * Another trick is to cast it on anyone standing next to the enemy carry, as the carry will then be attacking his ally essentially causing him to briefly fight for you.
 * Many passive abilities do not work against allied units, so do not expect an enemy Mortred to hit her d ally with a critical strike.
 * A short summary of the most common effects which do not trigger on allies: Most attack modifiers (critical strike, bash and cleave and all active attack modifiers),, , and
 * Short summary of effects which do react on allies: All damage blocks, all sources of damage negation and reduction,, ,
 * Note though that in case of spells like or, the reflected damage or passive quill sprays do not hit allies, but enemies still. The only exception is Centaur's Return, which damages allies.
