Abilities

Active: Mend

Restores 350 health and 200 mana to nearby allies, and removes most negative effects from the caster.
Radius: 1200
Dispel Type: Basic Dispel

Cooldown: 40

Passive: Guardian Aura

Grants 2.5 health regeneration, 1.5 mana regeneration and 3 armor to allied units. If an allied hero's health falls below 25%, this is increased to 14.5 health regeneration, 5 mana regeneration and 8 armor.
Radius: 1200 Movement speed bonuses from multiple pairs of boots do not stack.

Additional Insights

  • The aura boost only applies to heroes.
  • Mend does not affect units that have been affected by Mend or Mekansm Restore within Guardian Greaves' cooldown.
  • What makes the Guardian Greaves even more incredible is their additional ability. When a teammate's health drops critically low, these boots automatically activate, releasing a strong heal in a larger radius. It's like having a friendly guardian spirit looking out for your team's well-being!

Trivia

Guardian Greaves were introduced as an upgraded version of two separate items, Arcane Boots and Mekansm, in Dota 2. The idea behind combining these two items into Guardian Greaves aimed to provide support heroes with an efficient and potent option for sustaining their team's health while also offering movement speed and mana replenishment.
