  • Interrupts the caster's channeling abilities upon cast.
  • Creates a 1050 radius aura centered around the caster, affecting all enemies, including visible ones, within the radius upon cast.
    • The aura lingers for 8 seconds after leaving the radius.
    • Units under the effect of Shadow Dance icon Shadow Dance, Depth Shroud icon Depth Shroud and Smoke of Deceit icon Disguise are not revealed despite the debuff being applied on them.
  • The damage is only applied to enemy units that are invisible upon cast. Units that are not invisible, or already revealed units are not damaged.
    • Does not affect untargetable units.
    • Reveal first applies the damage, and then places the debuff on the targets.
  • Multiple auras do not stack but refresh the duration instead.
  • The movement speed slow is applied only when the enemy units actually are invisible. This means during the fade time or fade delay of invisibility, the unit is not slowed.


Recommended Heroes[]

Dust of Appearance is usually purchased by gankers and heroes who can pick off enemies on their own, being very useful to counter invisibility heroes and Shadow Blade icon Shadow Blade.

Trivia[]

  • Prior to the July 14, 2017 Patch, Dust of Appearance's active ability, Dust of Appearance icon Reveal, did not have an official name. The name was taken from the Dota 2 Wiki and officially implemented into Dota 2.
