Nyx Assassin unlocks Burrow, increasing his regeneration, and helping him use more abilities in team fights and defending buildings.
Pangolier's Shield Crash casts a 2-attack Swashbuckle at every 90 degree angle around him, increasing his damage output.

Supports[]

While many supports become more powerful with Aghanim's Scepter, most should still focus primarily on buying support items, with Aghanim's Scepter as a luxury option if they have enough gold.

Trivia[]

The item's internal name is ultimate scepter.
Aghanim's Scepter is named after Agahnim, one of the main villains in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Rubick is the son of Aghanim. He also possesses an imitation of Aghanim's Scepter.
- With the exception of Dark Willow, Grimstroke, Razor, Snapfire and Void Spirit, heroes never mention Aghanim's name in their voice responses, simply referring to it as "The Scepter". The reason for this is unknown.
- Riki and Lion are the only heroes who do not have any Scepter responses (excluding Io and Phoenix, who do not speak).
The components of Aghanim's Scepter before version 6.60 are the same as the components of the Pre-7.27 Octarine Core.
