The bane of Toterin!

  • Techies gets all 3 charges immediately upon learning Proximity Mines.
  • The mines cannot be triggered during the 1.75-second activation delay.
    • During this delay, Proximity Mines are visible to the enemies. Once active, they turn invisible.
  • It takes a total of 3.35 seconds for a Proximity Mine to detonate when placed right next to an enemy unit or structure.
  • The mines only detonate when an enemy stands within its trigger radius for 1.6 seconds.
    • This means quickly entering and leaving the area does not cause them to trigger.
    • Upon entering its trigger radius, a sound is emitted from the mine, warning the enemy that they are within the trigger radius.
    • Both the warning and mine explosion sound is audible to everyone and audible through the Fog of War.
    • Can be triggered by invisible, but not by invulnerable or hidden units.
    • Proximity Mines cannot be triggered by flying units and it does not damage wards.
  • Proximity Mines only damage enemies when they are triggered, not when they are destroyed by attacks.
    • The damage source is the mine itself, meaning certain on-damage effects (e.g. Blade Mail icon Damage Return) react on the mine rather than on Techies.
    • The damage is based on the current level as it detonates, and not as it was placed.
    • Proximity Mines deal 60/114/168/222 damage to buildings.
    • Provides 300 radius flying vision at its location for 1 second after detonating.
  • Proximity Mines cannot be placed within 400 radius of other allied Proximity Mines.
    • When mouse-hovering on the ability, all own Proximity Mines display a red circle, indicating their trigger radius.
    • With the mines movement speed granting Talent talent, the mines can be moved and overlap on each other after being placed.
