ITEM DESCRIPTION

General information

Heroes cannot use items owned by other heroes, with a handful of exceptions. See Item Sharing for details.
Some items can be disassembled. See Disassembly for details.
Most items may be sold back to vendors for all of the gold spent, if sold within 10 seconds after purchasing, and the item’s active ability (if it has one) has not been used yet.
- After ten seconds have passed, or the item’s active ability has been used, selling an item only recoups 50% of its original price.
- Gem of True Sight and Divine Rapier cannot be sold at any time.
- Enchanted Mango cannot be sold after the preparation phase or after the 10 second refund time. The free mango for bonus heroes can never be sold.
- The starting Town Portal Scroll and any other items gained from selecting a bonus hero or randoming cannot be sold.
Most dropped items can be destroyed by force-attacking them (default key: A).
- Allies’ items which are not flagged as shareable cannot be destroyed.
- Gem of True Sight and Divine Rapier cannot be destroyed.
Most item effects cannot be effectively stacked with multiple copies of the same item on a single hero, with the copy only being able to provide the base stats of the item.
- Cooldowns are shared between identical items with active abilities, and if one item with an active ability can be upgraded into another, most of the time both will share a cooldown.
- Multiple instances of the same aura or debuff will not stack, even if the two copies of the item providing it are owned by separate heroes.
Some items do not provide their effect to heroes with passive abilities providing the same or similar effect. For example, most heroes with a bash ability cannot use the passive ability from Skull Basher.
Some items have effects that only apply to heroes that are ranged or melee.
The shop at the enemy fountain can also be used to buy items, sell items, and access the stash.
- The Secret Shops and Side Lane Shops have a restricted inventory, and cannot be used to access the hero’s stash.

Shops

There are three different shops per faction. One Base Shop, one Secret Shop and one Side Lane Shop. In the shop areas, items can be swapped from the backpack without time penalty.

Base Shop

The Base Shops are located within the Fountain are behind the Ancients. All basic items except the secret ones can be bought there. Additionally a majority of the upgrades can be completed there.
