General

A Flying Courier is bought from the Consumables section in the Home Shop. The Flying Courier is used to ferry items to players on the field of battle faster than the Animal Courier. Must be purchased after obtaining the Animal Courier to automatically upgrade it into a Flying Courier. The courier can be upgraded from anywhere on the map, without the need to visit a shop. The courier cannot use most items, but it can use a select few listed here.

The Flying Courier has a 4 minute 30 second stock time, meaning that it cannot be purchased until 3 minutes after creeps spawn.

If killed, 175 gold will be awarded to all enemy players. It respawns at the fountain after three minutes. Any items it was carrying will be inaccessible until then. Any additional couriers killed during the first kill`s respawn time will only award 175 gold to the killer.
The courier is invulnerable at the allied fountain. When carrying a Bottle that isn`t full, the courier is slowed by 30% to 301 movespeed.
The flying courier takes 50% bonus damage from melee heroes.
