Tips

  • Meepo minimap icon Meepo clones with Aghanim's Scepter icon Aghanim's Scepter upgrade get double stats and armor from the item, which can offer high survivability against physical damage.
  • Tinker minimap icon Tinker's Rearm icon Rearm can refresh Greaves as well, offering high mana return for Tinker himself and the heal for heroes that are not having the Mend buff.
  • Because the boosted armor is only granted when the HP are under 20 percent an Heart of Tarrasque is an excellent pick combined with it.
