Itemization Strategy

Greatly utilized by utility offlaners or supports in the late game as it gives them the unit usage or what we call in dota 'zoo meta' to help you aura's become even more stronger. Beastmaster, Visage and Chen are just a few hot takers of this item when it comes available in the late game.

Trivia

It is mainly a revision of an earlier dota item called 'Necronomicon'
