Tips

  • Combine it with a blink or invisibility to surprise your target and approach and hit him while he is hexed. You can also use those items to catch an enemy that is running away.
  • Extremely powerful against heroes with high DPS, escape abilities, disablers, debuffs and carrying initiation or escape items like Black King Bar, Blade Mail, Blink Dagger, Shadow Blade, Town Portal Scroll.
    • Alternatively a Eul`s Scepter of Divinity can put an enemy carry out of a fight, it is useful against heroes hard to reach with high attack range.

Trivia

  • In the original DotA, this item was known as Guinsoo`s Scythe of Vyse, as a tribute to one of the developers of DotA: Allstars, who went on to co-create League of Legends.
  • This item is known by many players (and referred to by several in-game Heroes) as "Sheepstick" due to turning targeted heroes into sheep in DotA. Be that as it may, in Dota 2, targeted units turn into a pig.
  • The item`s name may be a reference to the Sega RPG Skies of Arcadia. The main character, Vyse, has been depicted wielding a scythe in early concept art.
