Notes:

• Double clicking the item while being at least 1500 range away from the team's fountain, automatically targets the fountain's location.

• On level 1, can target allied non-hero units and buildings. On level 2, can additionally target allied heroes.

• Can target any allied unit, except for wards, couriers, Beetles, Homing Missiles and Spin Webs (heroes and illusions on level 1).
  • Can target invulnerable, but not hidden allies. When the target becomes hidden after channeling has begun, the teleport is interrupted.

• When targeting the ground, automatically chooses the closest valid target to that point. Prioritizes buildings within 900 radius.
  • If the next valid target is a building, it teleports 575 range (250 range if it is a shrine outside of the base) away from it.

• Disjoints projectiles upon teleporting.

• Units can be directly targeted. The effect then chases the unit. Buildings cannot be directly targeted, the ground is targeted instead.

• The targeted unit's priority is lowered, meaning it is attacked as the last auto attack target by other units.

• During the channeling, the teleport destination is marked with a visual effect in the same color as the player and a sound is played.

• Both are visible and audible to everyone. The visual effect is also visible on teleporting invisible enemies.

• Also marks the point on the minimap for allies. The mark is in the player's color and lasts as long as the channeling does.

• Provides 200 radius flying vision at the destination point while channeling. The vision lingers for 1 second.

• When the target unit dies or changes ownership during the channeling, the teleport gets cancelled, wasting the cooldown and mana cost.
  • Since buildings are not directly targeted, the destruction of the building does not cancel the teleport.

• Shares cooldown with Town Portal Scroll.
