Viability / General Use: High viability. Used by ability-based gods that have to get in close to deal damage, due to the small range of the passive shockwave. Most popular for Assassins.

Advantages: Low cost, balanced stats for a bruiser.

Disadvantages: No health, no physical protection, passive may not trigger when you want.

Restrictions: Physical gods only.

Discussion: Due to the low price, it's best built somewhat early in a match. It's an option for aggressive bruisers who expect to take some damage, and want a temporary advantage when trying to gank / secure a kill.

Useful against enemies with Channelled Skills such as , , and others...

I would agree that it's useful...but I also didn't put it in there because it's not RELIABLE. If you could trigger it at a time of your choosing, then I'd probably mention it in the summary. But it might not go off on the ability you want.

In addition, the range is limited. 30 units. Let's use your example of . It's got a range of 55. She could easily trigger it outside of the range and you get no advantage from it.

And let's take the example. If he's initiating on you, it's very possible he's jumping in with . That triggers it, and now he just has to wait 1 second and he can start his Belch.

So, although it's a good point in general, not something I would put in the summary due to it not being reliable.

I can see this item being reliable only in certain assassins/junglers (like or ). Since they get closer to enemies in a gank, range is not a problem and using the example, since he is near to you he usually starts the combo with . But at any other conditions, I must agree that this item is not reliable, mainly at late game, with teamfights everywhere is hard to control when this item will proc the passive.

I slightly disagree on building it super early in the match. Of course it depends on the match up. For example, on my in arena, I'll get it a little later in the build simply because I feel other items have more priority. For example, followed by (especially if I have other physical team mates that can capitalize on void shield's aura).

When we used to play conquest together, and I'd jg with , I'd get for the utility to help with jg, then depending on the situation, I'd get either or

You can get it early game in solo lane against Magical solos with interruptible abilities like Artio and Cerberus.

I'm not covering all bases, and yes, it's fine mid build. I'm saying "somewhat early," to mean that it's not really a late-game item.

I love this item on Kali! Low health and while in your ult is an utterly dangerous combo. Great defense item against mages and heavy hits against any god!

It just offers a really weird assortment of stats that need to be stacked, basically it's so niche that there's just almost always better options (eg: grab and and you fill the same needs with better stats that don't have to be stacked).
