Additional Information[]
- The Aegis is consumed/disappears when one of the following happens, be it in a player's inventory, or still on the ground where Roshan dropped it:
- Roshan respawns 8 – 11 minutes after being killed.
- The Aegis wielder dies and reincarnates, consuming the Aegis.
- 5 minutes pass since the Aegis was picked up by a hero.
- This means it is impossible for multiple Aegis to exist in a match.
