Modifiers

Item Silver Edge Windwalk: Undispellable.

Silver Edge Debuff: Undispellable.

Notes:

The attack out of Silver Edge's Shadow Walk cannot miss.

Does not interrupt the user's channeling spells upon cast.

The bonus damage is dealt in one instance together with the attack damage, and counts as attack damage as well.
- It can be lifestealed off of, and is considered by cleave, but not by crit.
- It is not affected by percentage-based attack damage bonuses or reductions, but can be reduced with flat reductions.

The bonus damage is not applied when attacking wards and buildings out of the invisibility.

Applies a break on the target when attacking from invisibility, disabling passive abilities.

Places the debuff upon before the attack damage is applied, but still relies on the attack (or projectile) to hit.

The invisibility is lost upon reaching the cast point of spells, or upon finishing an attack (for ranged heroes upon projectile launch).

Unlike Shadow Blade, Silver Edge does not apply the damage if an attack hits during the fade time.

Allows the user to pass through other units, including wards, but not through buildings.

The user can pick up and drop items without breaking the invisibility.

Shares cooldown with Shadow Blade.

Tips[edit]

Be aware that the Break mechanic has no effect on your opponents' items. If they have a Daedalus or Butterfly, for example, they will still receive the full benefits of these items.
Consider purchasing this item if the enemy has troubling passives such as Blur, Berserker's Blood, Fury Swipes, Bristleback, and Untouchable.
Remember that abilities using stacks (such as Reactive Armor, Necromastery and Fury Swipes) are only prevented from gaining or placing new stacks. If the target already has existing stacks (on themselves or on their target), their passive can still function until the stacks expire (such as Reactive Armor's regeneration/armor and Fury Swipes' additional damage).
