Hiding (also referred to as banishing) a unit causes it to temporarily disappear from the game.
Mechanics[]
Hide renders the unit unable to move, attack, cast abilities and items. All Hide sources also turn the affected unit invulnerable. Hidden units still gain ExperienceXP and Gold . While hidden, a unit cannot be affected by any abilities, with very few exceptions (e.g. Shadow Poison). For example, a Meat Hook would just fly through and possibly hit a unit behind the hidden unit.
