- Can be cast on couriers.
- Triggers Bash's cooldown upon cast.
- Despite the visual effects, the effect is instant and does not need to travel.
Bash
Notes:
- Abyssal Blade's bash does not stack with the bash of Skull Basher and other Abyssal Blades.
- When obtaining multiple items with the bash ability, only the one that has been continuously the longest in the inventory works.
- The proccing attack first applies the debuff, then its own damage.
- The bonus damage is dealt in one instance together with the attack damage, and counts as attack damage as well.
- It can be lifestealed off of, but it is not considered by crit or cleave.
- It is also not affected by percentage-based attack damage bonuses or reductions, but can be reduced with flat reductions.
- Adds an average of 25 damage to every attack for melee heroes, and 10 damage for ranged heroes.
- Bash uses pseudo-random distribution.
- Goes on cooldown when Overwhelm is cast.
- Abyssal Blade's Bash does not use a regular cooldown. It is neither displayed on the item icon when proccing, nor is it affected by cooldown manipulating effects.

Recommended Heroes[edit]
Heroes whose default item build includes Abyssal Blade as a situational item:
Tips[edit]
- Use Overwhelm to interrupt the enemy heroes' channeling such as Town Portal Scroll or any channeled abilities like Freezing Field.
- Although sometimes optional, it is best to buy items that grant attack speed which procs Bash more.
- Since the Bash pierces spell immunity, it is best used when facing heroes with spell immunity (such as Juggernaut or Lifestealer). The active ability also has a guaranteed 2-seconds stun that also pierces spell immunity.
- Be careful when facing heroes with skills/items that applies strong dispel such as Aphotic Shield or Dark Pact, it is best to use abilities with silence or mute to compensate this.
