Notes:

↓↓ Double-tapping automatically target self.

If the target is more than 750 range away, the caster moves to the target until it is within 500 range before casting.
- If a cast order is given on a target which is within 750 range already, the caster does not need to move closer and casts it right away.

Can only target heroes (including illusions) and creep-heroes.

The owner does not have to face the target to use this on it.

Passively gains a charge every 10 seconds, starting 10 seconds after entering the inventory. Works even while dead.

Gains 1 charge whenever a visible enemy unit, including neutral creeps, uses an ability within the radius.

The item must be in the owner's inventory to gain any charges. Does not gain charges while in the backpack, on the ground, in the stash, or on the courier.

Does not gain charges from toggle abilities, active attack modifiers and the abilities listed here.

Clones, illusions and creep-heroes cannot gain charges.

Passively triggered spells (e.g. Quill Spray, Borrowed Time, Multicast, Reincarnation) do not add charges.

When an enemy casts a spell out of the invisibility from the Invisibility Rune, Shadow Walk, Sand Storm, Moonlight Shadow, or Shukuchi, it does not give a charge.

Can restore up to 405 health and 300 mana when having the maximum amount of charges.

Shares cooldown with Magic Stick and Magic Wand.

When having multiple Magic Stick-based items in the inventory, only the oldest one will gain charges from cast abilities. If it is full, the second oldest one starts to gain charges.
- Each owned Holy Locket has its own timer for gaining passive charges and do not interfere with each other.

Upon upgrading a Magic Wand into a Holy Locket, all its current charges are carried over.

Holy Blessing

Ability
Passive

Affects
Self

Amplifies heals you provide by 35%.

Heal Amplification: 35%

Notes:

Unlike regular heal amplification, Holy Blessing amplifies outgoing healing, not incoming healing.
- This means any healing provided by the owner gets ampified, regardless of who the target is.
- Vice versa, other sources of healing applied to the owner are not amplified.

Only grants heal amplification. Does not grant health regen amplification, lifesteal amplification, or spell lifesteal amplification.

Multiple instances of Holy Blessing do not stack.

Stacks diminishingly with other sources of heal amplification.

Regeneration Aura

Ability
Aura

Affects
Allies

Grants 3 health regeneration to allies.

Radius: 1200

Health Regen Bonus: 3

Aura Linger Duration: 0.5

Modifiers

Notes:

Multiple instances of Holy Locket's Regeneration Aura do not stack.
- Fully stacks with other sources of health regeneration, including Headdress and its other upgrades.

Can regenerate up to 180 health in one minute.

Does not affect wards, buildings and invulnerable units.

The aura's buff lingers for 0.5 seconds.

Recommended Heroes[]

Winter Wyvern

Increases the healing from Cold Embrace's Base heal per second and max heal per second

Abaddon

Increases the Mist Coil's healing up to 149/216/284/351 ( 223/290/358/425).
Energy Charge's health and mana restore help Abaddon use his supporting abilities more often.
Has very high synergy with his Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Borrowed Time, as it is based on Mist Coil.

Chen

Increases the healing of Hand of God up to 371/608/844 ( 749/986/1222).
Hand of God with Holy Locket and level 4 Divine Favor can heal up to 447/731/1015 ( 901/1186/1470).
Divine Favor further increases the heal of Energy Charge up to 487.2.

Dazzle

Increases the healing of Shadow Wave up to 432/675/972/1323 ( 756/1080/1458/1890) health when all bounces hit.

Enchantress

Increases the healing from Nature's Attendants. With both Nature's Attendance talents chosen, Enchantress can provide a lot of sustain to the team.
Also increases the healing output of Enchantress' Aghanim's Shard upgrade.

Io

Io benefits from Holy Locket's heal amplification more than other heroes due to the mechanics of Tether.
- Holy Locket amplifies Io's self-heals by 35%, and then amplifies the outgoing heal to the Tethered ally by 130% multiplied by another 35% from Holy Locket.
- At level 4 Tether, Holy Locket thereby increases the rate at which Io transfers health from self-heals from the default 130% to a net 218.7%.
  - Likewise any heal provided to Io by a hero that doesn't hold a Holy Locket will be amplified to the tethered hero to 162% of the heal's base value.

Necrophos

Amplifies the healing of Death Pulse / Death Seeker and Heartstopper Aura.
- Increases the healing of Death Pulse up to 135/216/297/378 ( Lua error in Module:Calculate at line 35: Unrecognized word "v" in expression "v1*1.35".).
- With Aghanim's Shard, Death Seeker further increases the healing of Death Pulse by 25%.
- Increases the health restore of Heartstopper Aura up to 43.2/54/64.8/75.6.
A natural early game Magic Wand carrier. Holy Locket's bonuses stats and Energy Charge synergies very well with Ghost Shroud as it stacks additively with the ability, providing even more burst health, allowing Necrophos to survive and possibly healing his ally through fights.
Ghost Shroud while active further increases the heal of Energy Charge up to 492.75.

Omniknight

Increases the healing of Purification up to 121.5/216/310.5/405 ( 337.5/432/526.5/621).
Does not increase the health regeneration from Heavenly Grace or an Aghanim's Scepter-upgraded Guardian Angel.

Oracle

Energy Charge can be used to further heal his allies up to 600 health under False Promise.

Phoenix

Increases Sun Ray's max health as heal per second up to 21.6 + 2.7% of max health at max level.
Energy Charge also helps Phoenix replenish health lost from using its abilities.

Treant Protector

Increases the healing from Living Armor and Leech Seed.
Synergizes well with Nature's Guise, and increases his heal amplification up to 61%, further increasing Energy Charge self burst heal up to 483.

Others[]

Tips[]

Holy Locket synergizes great with Mekansm, Guardian Greaves, Urn of Shadows and Spirit Vessel. Since it amplifies outgoing healing, all affected allies get healed for more.
