Diffusal Blade

Diffusal Blade is an item purchasable at the Base Shop, under Artifacts.

Recommended Heroes
Generally works well with illusion-based heroes:

Heroes that can hit enemies with multiple attacks in quick succession can deal a lot of Manabreak damage:

Others
The bonus attributes and the Manabreak ability make Diffusal Blade a cost-effective damage item on and  carries/heroes in general.

Tips

 * Because of the way Manabreak interacts with illusions, Diffusal Blade is most common and most effective on heroes with easy access to them, such as Phantom Lancer.


 * Similarly, this is also why Manta Style and Diffusal Blade are so commonly seen together: after picking up one of the two, the other becomes that much more effective and attractive to buy.


 * The movement slow is an effective way to kite melee characters and can both increase your team's damage output vs them (by preventing them from running away and making it easier to hit them with spells), and reduce their damage output vs your team (by preventing them from getting close enough to hit anything).


 * The movement slow can help your illusions and/or summoned units stick to their attack target.


 * Can trigger an enemy's.

Trivia

 * The Manabreak passive used to be called Feedback and got changed at some point without notification.
 * Since version 7.07, Diffusal Blade no longer has a Level 2 variant.
