01

Purchase purpose

The purchase primarily changes numeric hero stats. Test not only the final total but the usefulness of every intermediate component.

02

When it works

The effect solves a named problem in the next five minutes and arrives before the related objective.

03

Where it breaks

Raw stats can look efficient while failing to repair positioning or a missing fight condition.

04

Replay question

Which action became stronger in the first five minutes after completion?

Professional purchase window

Not one minute, but the middle of an observed sample.

P25 and P75 bound the middle 50% of first purchases. This is professional-match context, not a mandatory target for ranked play.

A completion is only as useful as the path toward it.

1,200 gold
DIRECT

This item is bought directly. There is no useful intermediate component between saved gold and the finished effect.

Auditable stat pricing

Price only what has a clean base-item reference.

Active abilities, auras, slot compression, build convenience and unique effects are never assigned invented gold values.
