[external_link offset=2]Notes:
- Disjoints projectiles upon cast.
- Does not blink for the full distance when targeting closer than the max distance.
- When targeting beyond the max blink distance, it blinks for 960 range, using the penalty distance, towards the targeted direction instead of 1200.
- ↓↓ Double-tapping automatically casts it on the team’s fountain, blinking towards its direction using the penalty distance.
- The second sound only plays when the blinked distance is greater than 960. It is audible to everyone.
- Damage greater than 0 from any player (including allies, excluding self) or Roshan puts Blink on a 3 second cooldown.
Recommended Heroes[]
- Initiating heroes with strong, large AoE disables rely heavily on Blink Dagger to take multiple enemies by surprise.
- Some heroes can use Blink Dagger to initiate with smaller disables or burst damage, but usually on fewer or single targets.
- Support heroes with low cast animation disables can initiate on single targets for their team with Blink Dagger.
- Split-pushing heroes often use Blink Dagger to elude defenders by blinking into the treeline.
- Heroes with positioning abilities can take advantage of Blink Dagger to force enemies into unfavorable positions.
