Boots · 1,450gold
Walk straight through creeps and units — no more running around them.
How to actually use it
- 1
Phase through units, not just faster
WhyWhile phased you walk straight through units and creep waves. The second it saves matters more than the speed.
HowChase through the wave instead of around it. Same when you run.
- 2
Casting a spell cancels it
WhyPhase ends the moment you cast.
HowIf you are escaping on phase, do not throw a spell mid-run. Get out first, fight after.
- 3
It gives armor too
WhyAgainst physical pressure in lane, Phase keeps you standing better than Treads.
HowTwo physical heroes: Phase. Spell harassment: Treads.
