Additional Information[]
- The item's attributes grants the following bonuses:
- 120 mana and 0.5 mana regeneration.
- 10 main attack damage to
heroes.
- Stacks multiplicatively with other sources of magic resistance.
- Increases most heroes' total magic resistance to 40%.
Ability[]
Notes:
- Successive attacks on the same target do not stack the debuff, but refresh the duration instead.
- Mage Slayer on Bloodthorn uses the same modifier, so they do not stack with each other either.
- The attacks first apply the debuff, then their own damage.
- The debuff applies generic outgoing damage reduction on enemies within range. Stacks additively with other sources of generic outgoing damage manipulation.
Recommended Heroes[]
Generally heroes with abilities that affects multiple targets at once benefit from wielding this item:
Tips[]
- Generally used against spell based heroes or lineups when playing as a hero reliant on auto-attacks or one that uses skills that use attack modifiers.
- The hidden power of Mage Slayer may be the fact it is the only magic damage reduction upgrade that gives raw damage per second increase to auto-attacks. Build into it from a Cloak if you feel you do not need the utility or support of a Glimmer Cape or the regeneration of a Hood of Defiance.
- Remember that the debuff reduces all damage types, not just Magical damage. This makes it a great way to reduce the damage output of heroes that mostly use Pure damage or, more situationally, Physical damage via spells. Some common examples are Timbersaw, Outworld Destroyer, Silencer, and Bloodseeker for Pure damage spells, and Bristleback and Dazzle for Physical damage spells.
