Ghost Scepter
+7 Attributes
Ghost Form
For 1500 Gold we get 7 Attributes and the Ghost Form ability. So, your first question might be: What is Ghost Form?
It's a quite hard to use ability. Ghost Form makes you fully invulnerable against Physical Attacks. Those are mostly just the normal attacks. But there are also abilities that make physical damage (Slithereen Crush for example, you get stunned but you don't receive any damage). The problem with Ghost Scepter is, that it makes you vulnerable against Magical damage. While in Ghost Form you get 44% extra damage from magical Spells. So using it can be considered as a mastery because it's quite hard to. Normally we use the Ghost Form ability for escaping and mind-gaming Enemies (you see an ursa with Blink Dagger, he blinks in and you instantly use Ghost Scepter). It's also quite useful to get cooldowns ready in unusual situations.
Ghost Scepter counters/ we use it to:
- Any carry who relies on Normal Attacks (Ursa, Phantom Assasin, Stealth Assasin.. etc.).
- Buy it on any squishy hero with practically low cooldowns, such as Zeus.
- You can use Orbwalking spells (Viper, Traxex, Huskar) while ethereal, very useful for tower diving.
- Special mention for Tauren Chieftain: You can trick some people by thinking that you are your spirit (they will stay away from you then, obviously), try it!
- Counter for Yurnero, Bladefury and Omnislash won't work, but he still bounces on you
- Counter for Venomancer, Ultimate & passive dot by Poison Sting get denied (but not Venomous Gale), you have to use Ghost Scepter after you have the ultimate dot on you.
- Counter for Witch Doctor's ultimate, the attacks are physical, also Rhasta's ultimate.
- Counter for Krobelus, her ultimate makes no damage to ethereal units.
- Special mention against Axe: Culling Blade does not apply 'killing blow', means if you are under 300/450/625 HP, it doesn't kill you, but you still get the normal (magical) damage by Culling Blade plus the 44% extra percent (end damage is quite low for an ultimate, so it's useful).
- Quite useful for towerdiving (of course you don't get damaged by the towers in ghost form).
- Opens a time window for dagger (4seconds- 3 seconds daggerdisable).
- The fountain's attack doesn't work on you while in Ghost Form.
- You can't get magic immune or use Town Portals in ethereal form, the effect ends then.
- While ethereal you can't use and get targetted by the following spells: Meat Hook, Soul Rip, Hookshot, Suicide Squad, Attack!, Ensnare.
WE also provide you an video to know more how to use this item.
