Strong

• Applies a hex on the target, setting its base movement speed to 140, silencing, muting and disarming it.
  • However, the target's movement speed can still be affected by movement speed bonuses from items and abilities.
  • Since Hex sets the base movement speed of the target unit and does not actually apply a slow, all speed effects are calculated using the 140 base speed.

• Hex instantly destroys illusions.

• Scythe of Vyse's hex transforms the target into a pig.

Tips

• Scythe of Vyse's hex prevents using of both, abilities and items while also disarming and seriously slowing down enemy heroes, which makes it very good against heroes who rely on attacks, abilities, items and mobility to be effective like Arc Warden, Terrorblade, Phantom Assassin, Spirit Breaker.
• Hex cannot pierce through debuff immunity from the Black King Bar while it's active. However, if the Scythe of Vyse is used before Black King Bar is activated, it can almost guarantee that the hero who carries Black King Bar will be killed before he/she even gets a chance to use it.
• Scythe of Vyse paired with items that grant invisibility like Silver Edge and Glimmer Cape is a very powerful combination, as it can give you an element of surprise against unsuspecting enemy heroes, allowing you to disable them and take them out before they can even react. However, you must watch out for enemy heroes who carry either Linken's Sphere, or Lotus Orb or Aeon Disk with them, as they will be able to counter this tactic with Linken's Sphere's spellblock, Lotus Orb's single-targeted-spell reflection and Aeon Disk's invulnerability that also applies a strong dispel when it's owner's health drops to 70%.
• Scythe of Vyse's hex is less effective against anyone who has a strong dispel in their arsenal: Slark with Dark Pact, Oracle with False Promise, Omniknight with Repel, Phoenix with Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Supernova.
• Scythe of Vyse's slow cannot slow down heroes with abilities that give them hastened type of movement speed at all: Centaur Warrunner with Stampede, Lycan with Shapeshift, Dark Seer with Surge, Weaver with Shukuchi.

Trivia

• In the original DotA, this item was known as Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse, as a tribute to one of the developers of DotA: Allstars, who went on to co-create League of Legends.
• This item is known by many players (and referred to by several in-game Heroes) as "Sheepstick" due to turning targeted heroes into sheep in DotA. However, in Dota 2, targeted units turn into a pig.
• The shop's search bar also accepts sheepstick or just sheep as a search term for Scythe of Vyse.
• The item's name may be a reference to the Sega RPG Skies of Arcadia. The main character, Vyse, has been depicted wielding a scythe in early concept art.
