Tips

  • Meepo clones with Aghanim`s Scepter upgrade get double stats and armor from the item, which can offer high survivability against physical damage.
  • Tinker`s Rearm can refresh Greaves as well, offering high mana return for Tinker himself and the heal for heroes that are not having the Mend buff.
  • Because the boosted armor is only granted when the HPTechnology company are under 20 percent an Heart of Tarrasque is an excellent pick combined with it.
