Play

Ability
No Target

Affects
Self

You enter ghost form for 4 seconds, becoming immune to physical damage, but are unable to attack and 40% more vulnerable to magic damage.

Magic Resistance Reduction: 40%

Duration: 4

20

Can be cast while spell immune. However, the buff gets immediately removed if spell immunity is detected.

Modifiers

Ghost State: Dispellable with any dispel.

Notes:

• Interrupts the user's channeling spells upon cast.

• Turns the user ethereal, disarming them, rendering them attack immune, and granting 100% physical damage resistance.

• Reduces most heroes' total magic resistance to -5%, assuming basic 25% magic resistance and no other sources of magic resistance.
  • Reduces Visage's total magic resistance to -26%, assuming his basic 10% magic resistance and no other sources of magic resistance.

• Ghost Form's magic resistance reduction does not stack with other ethereal effects, the one with higher value takes priority.

• Shares cooldown with Ethereal Blade.

Tips

• Use Ghost Scepter after baiting an enemy carry to attack you, causing them to waste time switching between targets.
• Try to keep track of the cooldown on enemy nuke abilities. Think twice before using Ghost Scepter if you believe that a powerful magical nuke, such as Finger of Death, has not yet been used.
