Recommended Heroes

Cloak is usually purchased in the process of building towards other items, especially Glimmer Cape.

Additionally heroes that have that have item slot space and that have enough HP to make use of the increased effective HP Cloak gives can obtain Cloak to increase their survivability, examples in particular Lone Druid, Alchemist, and Dragon Knight. This can be a very cost efficient stand-alone item on any hero against teams with heavy spell damage for an item that costs slightly more gold than a Bracer. Notably on Centaur Cloak is often bought early to reduce self-damage from Double Edge.
