Tips

• The Diffusal`s active apply the most powerful slow of the game but has a limited amount of use that can only be refreshed after upgrading it. It is better to consume all the charges before upgrading it.
  • In light of this, if you expect your Level 1 Diffusal to run out of charges in the middle of a fight, lock the Diffusal and buy the recipe beforehand. Unlock it in the middle of a fight once you run out of charges.
• Combine it with a Mask of Madness to get both of the most cost effective DPS items in the game, to burn mana much quicker with the attack speed and lifesteal from the mana burned. The active of the Diffusal Blade will slow your target to hit more.
• It is a good item combined with a Manta Style because illusions carry over Manabreak, increasing damage output. Combine this with Moon Shard (works on illusions if not consumed) to burn mana much quicker and increase DPS even more.
• The Diffusal movement slow allow to hit and run enemy melee heroes as ranged.

Additional information

Effective against

• Manabreak can be used to drain Wraith King`s mana, which results in him being unable to use Reincarnation when he dies (unless Wraith King buys a Black King Bar or chooses his manaless Reincarnation level 25 talent). Remember that Manabreak`s effectiveness is tied to your own attack speed; if your hero has a slow attack speed, consider buying a Manta Style   Item   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Manta Style An axe made of reflective materials that causes confusion amongst enemy ranks.

• Manabreak can deal more effective Damage against Medusa since it depletes her mana pool directly, so that Mana Shield blocks less damage.

• If enemies are using Ghost Scepter to survive against you, Purge can be used to dispel Ghost Form, allowing you to once again attack them.

Trivia

• The Manabreak passive used to be called Feedback and got changed at some point without notification.
