Top Preface Alright guys this is not like a full, full guide. Nor it is my impression on the items.



Im going to go over what they do, their stats, in what heroes they are going to be bought most likely, all that kind of stuff.



Also I am sorry about the size of these pictures, they are the ones from the update page, and arent that great.



I will be updating this when the items are added to the main client, with ingame pictures and so on.

Some of the new items are naturally confusing, even I was sort of lost when I tried to figure what the **** the Glimmer Cape did. Also, these are not in the order they were in the patch notes, not that it matters, I left the most confusing to do last, and the Mango too.



Shall we?

Also, these are not in the order they were in the patch notes, not that it matters, I left the most confusing to do last, and thetoo.

Top 2. Silver Edge Silver Edge:



Silver Edge is purchased by combining a Shadow Blade , a Sange



Costs 5200:

-2800 gold from Shadow Blade

-2050 gold from Sange

-350 gold recipe.

Passive: It grants you all these effects passively:



+32 Damage

+30 Attack Speed

+16 Strength



And the Sange



-Each attack has a chance to slow the enemy's movement and attack speed for 4 seconds.



15% Chance of attack to apply the effect

20% Movement Speed slow

20 Attack Speed slow

4 Seconds slow duration



-Successive procs on the same target do not stack, but refresh the duration instead.

-The proc chance of Lesser Maim from multiple Sange work fully independent from each other.

-Fully Stacks with the Lesser Maim from Heaven's Halberd Sange Sange and Yasha

-Doesnt work on wards or buildings, or against Lone Druid

-Can proc when attacking ally units.

Active: The active is again, very similar to a Shadow Blade



When activated:

-You become invisible after a 0.3 second fade time

-The invisibility lasts 14 seconds and Silver Edge has a 24 second cooldown

-Costs 75 Mana, just like Shadow Blade

-While invisible you are granted 20% faster movement speed and phase effect.



If you break the invisibility with a regular attack:

-Said attack has an extra 225 physical damage, and disables the target's passives and all of their damage outputs (Right clicks, Spells & Items) by 40%, for 5 seconds.

-This attack cannot miss

-The extra damage pierces spell immunity, being only physical, but the debuff does not pierce it.

-Ignores Linken's Sphere (yet to be verified)



Stuff that is not noted:



-Does not interrupt the owner's channeling spells upon cast (to be verified)

-The bonus damage is directly added to the attack damage, so it can be reduced with e.g. Enfeeble Static Link

-However, it cannot be amplified with elements like Empower

-The damage is considered by lifesteal, cleaves, Splash ( Elder Dragon Form Psi Blades

-During the fade time, the user can cast spells, use items and perform attacks without breaking the invisibility.

-Those attacks will apply the effect and damage to the target. (to be verified)

-The bonus damage does not apply when attacking wards and buildings out of the invisibility.

-The invisibility is lost upon reaching the cast point of spells, or upon finishing an attack, for ranged heroes this is upon projectile launch, so for example you can cast Requiem of Souls

-The user can pick up and drop items without breaking the invisibility.

Just by looking at it you already see it, this item is going to be huge on Tusk Kunkka Legion Commander



This item basically puts more focus into the stealth initiation part of invisibility, gives a great effect of Break (disable ability passives) that counters directly defensive passives like Blur Berserker's Blood Reactive Armor Reincarnation

Top 3. Lotus Orb Lotus Orb:



Lotus Orb is purchased by combining a Perseverance Platemail



Costs 4050:

-1750 gold from Perseverance

-1400 gold from Platemail

-900 gold from the recipe

Passive: Very simple combination of the Perseverance Platemail



+5 Hp regen

+125% Mana regen

+10 Damage

+10 Armor



To be honest doesnt sound too amazing, but its not a 5000 gold item and you are going to be buying it for its active.

Active: This is where it starts getting confusing. I will try to simplify it as its possible, so, on activation:



-Target an ally unit, or yourself. Has a 900 cast range.

-The selected unit is applied with a new effect called Echo Shell.

-Echo Shell purges off any negative buffs (except stuns and other hard debuffs)

-While in Echo Shell, any spells targetted to the affected hero are reflected to the caster. This does not mean that stuff like damage is reflected like a Blade Mail Linken's Sphere

-Echo Shell has a 6 second duration.

-Costs 100 mana

-Has a 17 second cooldown, like a Linken's Sphere



Note that the spell is not blocked. Just recasted. , for example if someone uses Hex Hex Laguna Blade Laguna Blade



The difference between Echo Shell and a Blade Mail Blade Mail Shackleshot Windranger



Think of Lotus Orb as a combination of a Blade Mail Linken's Sphere Blade Mail Clockwerk Linken's Sphere Queen of Pain Windranger



If you want to know what spells can be deflected by Lotus Orb's Echo Shell you can go here.

Echo Shell is more aimed at deflecting disables, for example imagine deflectingatI am not sure yet but sounds like its going to be bought by usualcarriers like, but also sounds like a situational alternative for aon heroes likeor

Top 4. Moon Shard

Moon Shard:



Moon Shard is purchased by combining two Hyperstone



Costs 4300:

-2000 gold from the first Hyperstone

-2000 gold from the second Hyperstone

-300 gold from the recipe.

Passive: As you would expect by its components, Moon Shard gives you an outstanding amount of Attack Speed. To be exact, provides the user with:

+120 Attack Speed



On top of that, it gives the user an extra 250 night vision. This works against Night Stalker

Active: This one has a very special active.



On use: Moon Shard is consumed (the item is destroyed), and provides the user a permanent buff (like for example Legion Commander Duel +60 Attack Speed. Consuming multiple Moon Shards wont give you +60 every time you do it, only works once.

This sounds like an item for agility carries to hold on to during the mid game and once you get slotted you consume it and go for another item.



- Faceless Void

- Sniper

- Alchemist

- Luna

- Juggernaut

- Phantom Assassin

-Etc.

Top 5. Octarine Core Octarine Core:



Octarine Core is purchased by combining a Mystic Staff Soul Booster



Costs 5900:

-2700 gold from Mystic Staff

-3200 gold from Soul Booster

Passive: Pretty big item, expensive, big stats, big passives. First of all, provides the holder with:



+25 Intelligence

+450 Hp

+400 Mana

+4 Hp Regen

+100% Mana Regen



On top of all those atributes: Cooldown Reduction: All of the holder's cooldowns (I am assuming both spells & items) by 25%.



On top of THAT: Spell Lifesteal: Restores the holder's health by a percentage of the damage they deal via spells. 25% for heroes, 5% for creeps.



This item has no active effect.

Holy. ****. Alright you might think this item is a weird pickup, like a fifth item for core int heroes. Its much more than that, this item is really potent, whoever holds this has a considerable upper hand is most fights. This item will be amazingly good on heroes like:



- Leshrac

- Necrophos

- Death Prophet

- Outworld Devourer

- Storm Spirit

- Queen of Pain Sonic Wave Aghanim's Scepter Oh the humanity.

Top 6. Guardian Greaves Guardian Greaves:



Guardian Greaves is a type of boots, purchased by combining Arcane Boots Mekansm



Costs 5300:

-1350 gold from Arcane Boots

-2300 gold from Mekansm

-1650 gold from the recipe

Passive: The user is granted all these:



+55 Movement Speed

+250 Mana pool

+5 All Stats

+5 Armor



Also has a passive aura effect: Provides 2 armor and 4 health regeneration aura. When a target's health is lower than 20% it instead provides 15 armor and 15 health regen, this includes yourself of course.

Active: Its active is basically a combination of a Mekansm Arcane Boots



When activated restores 250 Hp and 160 Mana to nearby allies (I assume in the radius of a Mekansm 45 second cooldown.

Sounds like an item that will be purchased by position 4 fighting supports. First thing that pops in my head is Enigma Undying

Guardian Greaves is a type of boots, purchased by combining, aand a fairly expensive recipe.-1350 gold from-2300 gold fromThe user is granted all these:Also has aProvides 2 armor and 4 health regeneration aura.

Also on activation dispels any debuffs on you, works against any debuff that would regularly be dispelled by a BKB.

Top 7. Glimmer Cape Glimmer Cape:



Glimmer Cape is purchased with just a Shadow Amulet Cloak



Costs 1950:

-1400 gold from Shadow Amulet

-550 gold from Cloak

-No recipe

Passive: Even if you are buying this more for its active, Glimmer cape provides the holder with:



+30 Attack Speed

+20 Magic Resistance

Active: This active is pretty wonky and I had to read it three times to fully understand it, its a fairly powerful effect for what the item costs honestly, and I think it will be purchased as long as people remember it exists. On activation:



-Target any ally unit in a 900 cast range, or yourself and turn them invisible after a 0.4 second fade time.

-While invisible, the unit gains 66% extra magic resistance.

-The invisibility lasts 5 seconds.

-Unlike Shadow Amulet

-Attacking, casting a spell and other interactions will break your invisibility and restart the fade time, attempting to turn you invisible for whatever time of invisibility you have left. (yet to be tested again).

-The bonus magic resistance only takes effect during the invisibility, not the fade time.

-16 second cooldown

-No mana cost

-Can be dissasembled

-Can be cast while channeling



This last one is what makes this item make sense, in a whole.



Think about it, not only the easy answers, like Crystal Maiden Witch Doctor Pudge Pudge this item is basically made forreally.



-Cast Glimmer Cape on yourself

-Toss that Meat Hook

-Turn on Rot

-Cast Dismember

-You turn invisible, gaining 66% extra magic resistance against your own Rot

-They cant cancel your Dismember



Alternatively:

-Cast Glimmer Cape once you start using Dismember

What really made me realize how is this item fitting in my build is-Cast Glimmer Cape on yourself-Toss that-Turn on-Cast-You turn invisible, gaining 66% extra magic resistance against your own-They cant cancel yourunless they have detection and a way of stopping your channeling.-Cast Glimmer Cape once you start using, not as efficient, but you wont be wasting Glimmer Cape if you fail the hook.

Top 8. Enchanted Mango Enchanted Mango:



This is a simple item, a consumable, like a Healing Salve



Costs 150:

-150 from Mango

-No recipe, its a Mango.

Passive: Believe it or not, the Mango has a passive effect, even if its a consumable.



Each individual Mango, as long as you have it on your inventory provides you with +1 Hp Regen.



Similar to Shared Tangoes they do not stack in a single slot, so if you want to have three mangoes on you, you need to have three free slots.

Active: It has an active effect of course, and like with other consumables, the Mango is used in activation.



Eat Mango Get 150 Mana.



Simple, and instant.



You must be thinking, who would buy a 150 gold item to regen 150 mana instantly, when you can buy a 50 gold Clarity



Just from the top of my head, when I read the Mango I think roamers, big roamers, like Mirana Easy.

This is a simple item, a consumable, like a, but different in its own right.-150 from Mango-No recipe, its a Mango.Believe it or not, the Mango has a passive effect, even if its a consumable.Each individual Mango, as long as you have it on your inventory provides you withSimilar tothey do not stack in a single slot, soIt has an active effect of course, and like with other consumables, the Mango is used in activation.when you can buy a 50 goldwait a bit and get 135 mana.
