Tips

• The item gives the most mana regeneration per gold in early game (in the late game, percentage mana regeneration gives more). Combine it with a Sage`s Mask   Item   Changelogs     Sage s MaskBL A mask commonly used by mages and warlocks for various rituals. Cost325 Bought FromArcane Bonus +50% Mana regeneration Disassemble? No Alert allies? No Recipe The Sage s Mask for cost effective mana regeneration.
• Infused Raindrop completely blocks the damage of Eul`s Scepter of Divinity For the cosmetic item equipped by Crystal Maiden, see Eul s Scepter of Divinity (Equipment)   Item   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Eul s Scepter of DivinityB A mysterious scepter passed down through the ages, `s Cyclone, so that the Cyclone cannot disable Blink Dagger For the cosmetic item equipped by Axe, see Little Blink Dagger.   Item   Changelogs     Blink DaggerBL The fabled dagger used by the fastest assassin ever to walk the lands. Cost2250 Bought FromArcane , allowing the holder to instantly blink away.
• It is useful against heroes that harass early lanes with magical damage, especially against heroes with stronger nukes and a high mana cost, like Queen of Pain   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Queen of Pain 16 + 2 18 + 2 24 + 2.5 , Leshrac   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Leshrac 16 + 1.8 23 + 1.7 26 + 3 Level Base , Lich   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Lich 18 + 1.85 15 + 2 18 + , Visage and Lina.
• It is also good against lower nukes, like Storm Spirit   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Storm Spirit 19 + 1.8 22 + 1.8 24 + 3 Level `s spells, Arc Lightning and Arcane Bolt, although these spells are in return able to burn through raindrops faster than the heavy nukes. This also applies to Maelstrom`s and its upgrade`s Chain Lightning.
• Since it ignores damage instances below 50, it is not effective against most damage over time abilities, like the ones from Viper, Warlock, Jakiro and Huskar.
  • Infused Raindrop is also not very effective against damage over time which deals just high enough damage to proc it, as one such spell can proc Raindrop multiple times throughout its duration, wasting charges on rather low damage ticks, as compared to burst damage. Spells like Venomous Gale and Shadow Strike are long lasting damage over time spells which can easily use up 2 charges per cast, with just minimal damage getting blocked.
• Shorter effects like Frostbite, or enough stacks of Burning Spear (with just a few stacks) are also able to waste charges, as they deal the mnimum required damage to proc it, allowing enemies to throw higher damage nukes while the item is on cooldown.
• In the later game, Radiance burns Raindrops` charges away without any effort and with the minimum amount of damage getting blocked, making it very ineffective against Radiance.
• The item should not be used in combination with any other form of damage negation, like Aphotic Shield or Refraction, because it stills lose a charge and block the damage before the spell blocks them, basically wasting a charge for damage which would have already been blocked by the spells.
