Modifiers

modifier_bashed: Dispellable with strong dispels.

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.

• Does not work against wards and buildings, but works against allied units.

• 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

Heroes whose default item build includes Abyssal Blade as a situational item:

• Anti-Mage
• Ursa
• Phantom Assassin
• Lifestealer
• Night Stalker
• Riki

Tips

• 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.
