Recommended Heroes
This upgrade to the turns it into a much more powerful initiating tool, a disabler, and a quick burst damage dealer. Best used on Strength heroes to take advantage of the AoE damage it deals upon teleporting in proportion to their strength. The slow dealt upon blinking cripples nearby enemies and slows their attack speed, allowing you to catch up on fast targets or simply slow lesser targets to a crawl and weaken their ability to retaliate with right clicks, allowing tanky heroes to take less damage in a unique way.

Since the blink is an AoE disable, you can save your other disables that you normally use after blinking (such as and ) for later until the slow wears off.

In some cases, this item can be useful in the hands of heroes who aren't strength-based. They can still benefit from the AoE damage it deals upon blinking, allowing them to deal damage in teamfights or solo kills just by teleporting. The MS and AS slow are still useful in crippling the enemy's escape, maneuverability, and retaliation via right clicks.
