Modifiers

modifier_item_aeon_disk_buff: Dispellable with any dispel.

Notes:

  • Triggers upon taking damage greater than 0 (before reductions) from enemy and allied players.
    • Does not trigger on self-inflicted damage, or on damage flagged as HP Removal.
  • Applies a strong dispel on the wielder upon activating. Does not continuously dispel the unit.
  • Applies generic incoming damage reduction on the wielder. Stacks additively with other sources of generic incoming damage manipulation.
    • This means that sources of generic incoming damage amplification can be used to counter the effect.
    • The reduction affects all damage the wielder takes that is not flagged as HP removal.
  • Also applies unique outgoing damage reduction. Stacks multiplicatively with all other sources of outgoing damage manipulation.
    • This means unlike the incoming damage reduction, the outgoing reduction cannot be countered by any outgoing damage amplifiers.
    • The reduction affects all damage the wielder deals, including damage flagged as HP removal.
  • Also grants 75% status resistance, which stacks multiplicatively with other sources of status resistance.
  • The damage instance triggering Combo Breaker is negated.
    • However, if the owner has above 70% health, it is negated so that their health does not drop below 70%.
  • Does not protect against instant kill effects.
  • The cooldown of Combo Breaker is bound to the hero. Rebuying Aeon Disk does not reset it.

Recommended Heroes[]

  • Combo Breaker allows Batrider to safely use Flaming Lasso on enemies to initiate fights.

  • Aeon Disk almost always guarantees a successful Primal Split, allowing Brewmaster to initiate fights more stably.

  • Bristleback is an amazing tank/frontliner, and Aeon Disk makes him even harder to kill.

  • Dazzle is often focused to prevent him from saving others.
  • Bad Juju considerably reduces the cooldown of Combo Breaker, thus allowing a Dazzle with Aeon Disk to potentially escape death much more frequently.

  • Although a badly-timed Echo Slam during Combo Breaker can mean a wasted burst of damage, Aeon Disk can buy time for an Earthshaker to land key disables in a teamfight.

[external_link offset=2]
  • Enigma’s Black Hole is core to his gameplay, and Aeon Disk ensures that raw damage does not threaten him to cancel his Black Hole, forcing enemies to commit/save disables for Enigma.

  • Oracle has strong defensive abilities and is often focused to prevent him from saving core heroes. Aeon Disk gives him a chance to survive and cast his abilities on himself or allies.

  • Pugna has an extremely low health pool, especially when played as a support. Aeon Disk gives Pugna the opportunity to cast Decrepify on himself, to save himself from the devastating physical damage that may follow after getting disabled.

Tips[]

  • Aeon Disk can be a good choice for tanks, initiators/counter-initiators or supports who have strong defensive abilities.
  • Aeon Disk is effective against heroes that rely on ambush and/or disables followed up by quick, sudden bursts of damage to finish their prey off, wasting their efforts (and possibly lengthy cooldowns), and allowing their target to escape quickly. Such heroes include Nyx Assassin, Skywrath Mage, Necrophos or Templar Assassin.
  • Consider purchasing a Blink Dagger or other mobility items with Aeon Disk, as one can use it during Combo Breaker’s duration, allowing a quick escape, provided it has not been disabled beforehand. It can also be used to initiate with, protecting you should you either miss your ability or if there are enemy heroes that you missed.
  • Summoned units are not affected by the outgoing damage negation by Combo Breaker. Heroes such as Witch Doctor, Shadow Shaman or Lone Druid can still be able to retaliate on their attacker while being briefly protected.
  • Other protective items like Linken’s Sphere or Black King Bar can help delay Combo Breaker’s activation in a teamfight, preventing it from being wasted by either a stray spell or a long-distance attack.
  • The item can save a split pusher from getting killed while being far from his team to run back or teleport to base.
  • Aeon Disk could be a not so good choice against disables that can’t be dispelled like Black Hole, Chronosphere, Static Storm, Doom etc, but still will give a dispellable 2.5 second protection.
  • Techies mines deal full damage while they are under the effect of Combo Breaker.
