01

Purchase purpose

A transfer of personal budget into the tempo of a chosen ally. It requires knowing who the team will accelerate in the next window.

02

When it works

One hero reliably deals damage or takes the objective while the holder can support from the second line.

03

Where it breaks

Without a consistent target, the active dissolves into random uses and does not justify delaying another save.

04

Replay question

Which ally received most casts, and what changed in their next action?

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.

Role conclusion

The item has no role sample at n ≥ 200. The decision remains a question of mechanics, map state and your own replay.

Cost and build path

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

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.
