• This ability got merged into Overload in the 7.29 gameplay patch.

• Requires Aghanim's Shard to be unlocked.
  • This ability is not available in Ability Draft, due to its reliance on a non-ultimate ability, which are limited to one ability slot.

• Electric Rave interrupts Storm Spirit's channeling spells upon cast.

• Triggers Overload upon cast as well, and fully stacks with it on the same attack.

• The buff is only placed on allied heroes, including clones and creep-heroes, excluding illusions.
  • The buff is not placed on invulnerable or hidden units.

• The Overload values for the buff are set upon cast, and do not adapt if it gets leveled up after cast.
  • If Overload is not learnt, does nothing upon cast.

• The Overload effect applied by an ally is credited to that ally, and not to Storm Spirit.

• The Overload talents fully affected Electric Rave as well, even when applied by an ally.
  • This includes the level 25 talent, causing the ally's attack to bounce, using Storm Spirit's projectile speed.
  • However, unlike the initial Overload, the bounces are always credited to Storm Spirit, and not to the ally.

• The number of charges is visible on the buff's icon.

• Recasting Electric Rave refreshes the buff's duration and resets the charges.
