Sky Piercer item description and unique passive
According to its description, the sword has unparalleled power to wreak havoc to its foes.
As for its stats, the item gives the following attributes.
- +60 adaptive damage
- +15 movement speed
- Unique Passive – Lethality: After dealing damage to an enemy hero, excutes the hero if their HP is lower than 6%.
Gains 10 stack(s) of Lifebane for each kill and loses 30% of current stack(s) for each death.
Each stack of Lifebane increases the HP threshold of the execute effect by 0.1%, stacking up to 60 times.
The main highlight of Sky Piercer is its unique passive, which executes a hero if their HP is lower than 6%.
What makes it even more lethal is that the HP threshold of the execute effect increases with each kill, making it a powerful option for early-game assassins who tend to secure many kills in the first 10 minutes of the game.
Furthermore, this item serves as a good substitute for the Execute battle spell, offering flexibility for assassins to choose other battle spells while still maintaining a powerful finishing move.
