Tips
- Meepo clones with Aghanim's Scepter upgrade get double stats and armor from the item, which can offer high survivability against physical damage.
- Tinker's Rearm can refresh Greaves as well, offering high mana return for Tinker himself and the heal for heroes that are not having the Mend buff.
- Because the boosted armor is only granted when the HP are under 20 percent an Heart of Tarrasque is an excellent pick combined with it.
