The Ballista is a Tier 5 neutral item dropped by neutral creeps.
Additional information[edit]
- Ballistas are fully sharable.
- Stacks with all other attack range bonuses.
- Affects the cast range of active attack modifiers as well.
Ability[edit]
Notes:
- The bonus damage is dealt in a separate damage instance, and counts as spell damage.
- This means it is not affected or considered by anything that works with attack damage.
- This also means that it fully works with spell damage amplification and spell lifesteal.
- Successive attacks with Ballista do not stack the debuff, but refresh the duration and knockback instead.
- The attacks first apply the debuff, then the knockback damage, then their own damage.
- The target is not disabled during the knockback, so they still can cast spells or items, attack and turn during the push.
- This means it does not cancel channeling spells of the target.
Tips[edit]
- Ballista is best shared with ranged carry heroes who rely on physical damage:
- Sharing a Ballista to an allied Sniper helps boost his already high damage and attack range. The passive deals bonus damage and knockback to prevent the enemies from coming near him.
- Sharing it to an allied Windranger allows her to continuously knockback the enemies during Focus Fire.
- Sharing it with a Level 25 Medusa with the Split shoot talent will apply it to every hero Medusa is attacking.
