- Applies a
basic dispel upon projectile impact, before applying the modifier.
- The modifier a basic dispel in 0.2-second intervals, 0.2 seconds after the debuff is applied, resulting in 20 dispel instances.
- Cannot be cast on
Invulnerable units.
- However, the initial dispel of an already launched projectile pierces invulnerability.
- The projectile does not apply the debuff if the target is invulnerable on impact.
- Therefore, if the invulnerability could not be dispelled by the initial dispel, the debuff is not applied.
- If the target was already debuffed, its duration does get refreshed.
Nullifier: The target is being constantly dispelled. Slowed by x%.
Recommended Heroes
[edit]Others
[edit]Melee carry heroes that depend on auto-attacks with above average attack speed can use Nullifier to dispel enemy's disengage options, allowing them to attack at will.
Heroes with multiple units or high attack speed that can struggle against certain saves like Glimmer Cape and Ghost Scepter, but can not fit a Hex or a Eul's Scepter of Divinity in their item build and maybe have to get the kill done in a small window of time.
Tips
[edit]- Because this item has a short range and slow projectile speed, it is easier to land from a melee hero with a Blink Dagger, Shadow Blade or ability to close the distance.
- A ranged hero may opt for a Scythe of Vyse especially if they are an Intelligence hero. Note that Hex is dispellable with strong dispels.
- Nullifier is strong against heroes with defensive items like Glimmer Cape, Eul's Scepter of Divinity, Ghost Scepter and Aeon Disk.
- Since Force Staff is dispellable, Nullifier will stop enemy heroes after they have been pushed a very short distance. This also works on Hurricane Pike's self-casting for the same reason, but not on enemy-casting (both pushes are undispellable).
- Use it on heroes that use dispellable Buffs on themselves to escape or deal/prevent damage like Windrun and Flame Guard.
- Nullify is one of the very few debuffs that cannot be dispelled at all, making it useful against abilities with strong dispels, such as Dark Pact, Press the Attack, and Aphotic Shield.
- Since Nullifier is undispellable, and has a visual effect, it may be useful against illusions in order to visually differentiate the original hero from them.
- Unlike with other items, Nullifier cannot dispel Echo Shield from Lotus Orb at all if Lotus Orb is used first, and it can reflect it back to it's owner. So be patient before using Nullifier on an enemy hero protected by Lotus Orb.
