Tips and Tricks

Battle Fury and the passive Quell of Quelling Blade both increase damage. You can slash twice as many trees with the active because it stacks and doesn’t share a cooldown with Battle Fury.

If your team chooses farmers like Shadow Fiend, Enigma, or Tinker, don’t choose Anti-Mage.

A Vitality Booster gives 250 health if you find yourself dying quickly and can be later upgraded into a Heart of Heart of Tarrasque. Generally speaking, getting a quicker Manta Style is advised.

Anti-Mage’s Ability

MANA BREAK

Each attack consumes mana from an enemy. Mana Break damages the target by 50% of the mana burned. If illusions are the cause of Mana Break, their impact is 50%.

BLINK

Teleporting over short distances enables the Anti-Mage to enter and exit combat.

COUNTERSPELL

You gain magic resistance inactively. An anti-magic shell that surrounds you and directs any targeted spells at your enemies rather than you can be triggered.

MANA VOID

The target unit and the opponents around it take damage for each mana point it fails to use. Also briefly startled is the main target.

BLINK – SHARD ABILITY UPGRADE

300 more range and a 2 reduction in cooldown.

BLINK FRAGMENT – SCEPTER GRANTS NEW ABILITY

Attacks the enemy or place with an illusion for seven seconds. The illusion of the Blink Fragment is a copy of Counterspell.
