Tips

  • Use Ghost Scepter after baiting an enemy carry to attack you, causing them to waste time switching between targets.
  • Try to keep track of the cooldown on enemy nuke abilities. Think twice before using Ghost Scepter if you believe that a powerful magical nuke, such as Finger of Death, has not yet been used.

Notes
  • Shares cooldown with Ethereal Blade.
  • Magic amplification from Ghost Form does not stack with other sources of Ethereal and will not stack with itself. Only the highest amplification is used.
  • Has an independent duration from other sources of Ethereal.
  • Blocked by Spell Immunity.
  • Can be dispelled.

Recommended Heroes

Ghost Scepter is a useful late game item on supports and gankers that are not tanky but need a way to reduce taking physical damage. However, caution should be used as all magic damage is amplified by Ghost Form.
