Additional Information[]
- The item's attributes grants the following additional bonuses:
- 220 health and 1 health regeneration.
- 10 main attack damage to heroes.

Ability[]
Bash
Melee Proc Chance: 25%
Ranged Proc Chance: 10%
Damage: 100
Stun Duration: 1.2
- Does not stack with the bash of other Skull Bashers, nor that of Abyssal Blade.
- Does not stack with Bash of the Deep, Greater Bash or Time Lock either. If any of these are present, Bash cannot proc.
- For multiple items with the bash ability, only the one that has been continuously the longest in the inventory works.
- The proccing attack first applies the debuff, then the damage.
- The bonus damage is considered as a conditional attack damage bonus.
- Although the attack damage bonus values are not displayed in the HUD, it is still considered and directly added to the wielder's attack damage.
- The attack damage bonus values are not considered by critical strike and cleave.
- However, it is considered by lifesteal, and it can be reduced only by flat reductions (e.g. damage block).
- Since it is considered bonus attack damage, it is not affected by percentage-based attack damage bonuses or reductions.
- Bash uses pseudo-random distribution.

Tips[]
- Since the Bash is a chance based ability, buying attack speed granting items increases the odds of a bash proccing. However, the effectiveness stops at a certain amount of attack speed due to the cooldown Bash has.
- The Bash goes through spell immunity. When not having other spell immunity piercing spells in the team, a Skull Basher is a great purchase as it can help greatly against heroes with spell immunity, especially those who get a Black King Bar in order to cancel their channeling spell.
- Despite having a much lower chance to proc for ranged heroes, it still has a decent chance. When coupled with high attack speed, a Skull Basher on ranged heroes can be very viable, especially for heroes who have attack speed boosting abilities like Focus Fire.
Trivia[]
- In the original DotA, this item was called "Cranium Basher", a reference to a unique item in Diablo 2.
