Strategy
Recommended for Wraith King and Medusa due to their supreme durability, greatly reducing the likelihood of the Rapier being dropped. Gyrocopter and Kunkka benefit from the Rapier as their abilities Flak Cannon and Tidebringer provide huge area of effect physical damage with the Rapier, but they have no special survivability and should be extremely cautious with the Rapier. However any carry hero has Aegis can consider Rapier.
Tips
- The components of Divine Rapier can be stored separately by locking one of the components to prevent disassembly. This can be used to purchase both parts with the courier without risking the loss of the item before delivery, or to save the item until the owner judges the time is right.
- Although it is a very expensive item, it is the most cost-effective damage item. Keep it in mind when your team is losing, Divine Rapier is a great last-stand item under such conditions.
- No matter what, Divine Rapier should always be considered a purely situational item and never a core, since it can result in throwing the game. Avoid purchasing it in games with poor team co-ordination, as even the strongest carry will need the support of the rest of their team to survive being the highest-priority target.
- Some heroes can utilize Divine Rapier much better than others by dealing splash damage or having better output environment. Even if enemy carry manages to get the Rapier, depending on their hero, they may not be able to use it just as effectively.
- Rapier-holders should consider buy a second Rapier (when possible) to keep in their stash as backup so that after a possible death they still have another Rapier to use.
- If a poor carrier of picks up a Free Rapier, it can be transferred to an ally by Denying oneself on neutral creeps.
- Divine Rapier cannot be copied by Tempest Doubles and so does not affect their damage.
- Be that as it may, it can be copied by Wukong`s Command clones and fully works for them.
- Divine Rapier does not synergize well with heroes who rely on Illusions to deal damage, as illusion damage is based on a hero`s base damage, not factoring any bonus damage into its attacks.
- Because Divine Rapier gives 254 more extra damage than Daedalus Item Old Abilities Changelogs Daedalus A weapon of incredible power that is difficult for even the strongest of warriors to control. Cost5320 (1000) Bought FromWeapons Passive Critical Strike Bonus +80
, and Daedalus` Critical strike gives 40.5% extra DPS, Divine Rapier gives more damage than Daedalus when the hero deals less than 627 damage without crits.

and then Divine Rapier. Once both lives are spent, Black King Bar would be activated as one would teleport back to base, allowing Wraith King`s team to keep the Rapier.
