Death

  • Upon cast, creates an illusion of the caster, and shuffles their positions.
    • The reappear locations are based on the caster's position upon cast, with one of them appearing at the cast location, and the other north, east, south or west from that point.
    • The distance between the hero and the illusion is 108 range if the hero has a collision size of 24, and 72 if the collision size is 8.
    • Though the formation is always the same, the caster and the illusion take a random position in the formation and have all the same facing angle.
  • Recasting this does not replace the illusions from the previous casts.
    • However, removing the item from the neutral item slot destroys all illusions created by it.

Tips

  • Illusionist's Cape is best shared with heroes who are reliant on illusions such as Naga Siren minimap icon Naga Siren, Chaos Knight minimap icon Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer minimap icon Phantom Lancer, or Terrorblade minimap icon Terrorblade. The passive provides their illusions with bonus damage.
  • The damage increase is added on top, not multiplied with the illusion stats, so the item is better on heroes with illusions that deal a low percentage of the the main hero, like Phantom Lancer minimap icon Phantom Lancer, or heroes with summons, like Warlock minimap icon Warlock. On heroes with strong illusions like Grimstroke minimap icon Grimstroke or Dark Seer minimap icon Dark Seer the item is less effective.
  • Magic immune summons like Plague Ward icon Plague Ward or Mass Serpent Ward icon Mass Serpent Ward do not benefit from this item.
