Additional Information[]
- Although Refresher Shard cannot be bought, it can be sold for 500

- If a Courier is the first unit to pick up the shard, it cannot be sold by anyone, even if it remains on the Courier or is given to a hero afterwards.
- If a Refresher Shard directly enters a backpack when picked up, it remains sellable by anyone until it enters any unit's main inventory.
- Unlike the Aegis of the Immortal, Refresher Shard is not reclaimed by Roshan.

Tips[]
- The Refresher Shard is basically a Refresher Orb with a single charge, so the same tips apply to it.
- However, due to it having no mana cost, and no gold cost, it opens a lot of possibilities for heroes who normally don't or can't buy a Refresher Orb, either due to the lack of mana supporting combos, being unable to farm it up, or it being too ineffective for the item slot.
- The Refresher Shard does not share a cooldown with Refresher Orb. Combined with the lack of a mana cost, this means it makes it possible for heroes who already have a Refresher Orb to use their spells three times in a fight.
- In some scenarios, it might be worth it to sell the Refresher Shard for its selling price of gold to buy a key item sooner rather than consuming it.
Trivia[]
- The Refresher Shard's icon and in-game model are based on Refresher Orb. Its active uses the same sound and visual effect as Refresher Orb.
- The pop-up that appears when you hover over the item on the ground shows a buying price of 1000 , but when you pick it up, the pop-up shows the selling price of 500 .
