Black King Bar

Helps you cast those channeling spells without being inturrupted and adds some health and armor. The problem with this is that it cannot be dropped and late game it might not be as useful as it was before.

can be very useful with naix simply going from avatar to avatar making him almost unstoppable

avatar does not stop the treants area stun.

100 second cooldown? thats gay

This is a MUST item for Pugna! His ultimate is a channeling spell: so the Life Drain can easily be interrupted with stun... BUT: if u get a BLACK KING BAR, you cant be "just" stunned during your ulti anymore - because it grants 10 seconds of AVATAR! Just imagine, at Level 3, 9 seconds x 250 (with Scepter) hit point drain per second = 2250 DAMAGE!!! OMFG!!! You are totally MAGIC IMMUNE and PHYSICALLY almost, because of the life draining magic... 10 seconds of DEATH!!! Dagon, Linken, etc. are not bad items for that hero too, but it is more important I think, to have a NON-INTERRUPTABLE hero killing ultimate spell!

1 more thing: try what happens, if you get a BLACK KING BAR for Harbringer the Obsidian Destroyer: you become an OBSIDIAN STATUE!!!
Try it,its really funny... However, during Avatar you will be farther a Destroyer...

hey Lethal try to use black king bar to tinker. He will become a big tank. And also use this to magina. He will become a soul keeper in the form of methamorphosis.

Avatar does not block permabash, no?

panathaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

BKB+GS+MoM= GG!!!

its is a must for The Sand King, get off epic with avatar, but the funny thing is when you avatar with SK, you go underground for a sec while motionless, but yeah most other heroes who avatar are weird. For instacne AM when he is in Morph Form then avatar, he goes to his melee mode but has ranged attack, weird...

ok. Sides from making you all big and such what does Avatar do? Though I must admit with the Alchemist in his chemical enraged for looks really nice .

can someone explain clearly what does avatar really do? asid from getting 5 armor + 30 damage + 200hp what else? Im quite confused

@Jayzee Avatar makes you immune to most spells and their effects (I´m not sure if you´re immune to some area spells like Lina´s LSA). Meaning, you get this with Balanar and you can eat any nuker/s you want withouth losing hp.

it doesnt say on the item description that is stops spells like niax avatar does. is it confirmed that BKB avatar stops spells like niax avater?

does avatar prevents cyclone to be cast on you? i was thinking of using it on mortred because i hated it when i got cyclones just as i wan going for the final blow... is it a good idea?

does avatar prevents cyclone to be cast on you? i was thinking of using it on mortred because i hated it when i got cyclones just as i wan going for the final blow... is it a good idea?

It prevents all kinds of magic and spells so yeah it can prevent cyclone

good item....negative when it comes to cool down...

avatar gives you immunity to magic escpet for some spells like bane's fiends grip. when in vatar, he can grip you and you'll get disabled but you receive no damage from the grip. same thing for reaper's scythe

Someone tell me if this item makes pudge immune to his own rot... that would be terrrriible. Thaaaanks

I can think of something better, repel will make him immune to his own rot

will this allow you to move while in faceless's chronosphere?

also... with avatar activated, is there any skills that can stop e player from teleporting?

pudge's meat hook, netherswap, reaper's scythe(the stun still works but you won't take any damage), DOOM(still works when avatar even repel is activated), black hole, netherstrike.

avatar only blocks targetted spells which hav a negative effect on u, like Polymorph, Fiend Grip, Stunned, Amplify, etc.

fiend's grip actually still works when avatar is activated you just don't take any damage

IF in avatar mode, do globals still affect you? ie: global silence from norstrom...or zeus's wrath?

can it work against BS rupture.

yes, but u need to activate this b4 he ruptures u. u see the blood splurtin out but u dont take damage.

you sure? i'm 99% positive that i have ruptured naix while he was in avatar, and he took damage when he moved...

i hardly get BKB. ive only gotten it twice and that was when i was gangbanged by Lion, Atropos and Bloodseeker for the first game, Viper and Slardar who has Deso and Assault Curiass.

which means i could possibly be wrong.

Use BKB for Tiny! It rocks

does this work with bloodseeker?

Use it with the Sacred Warrior's LifeBreak (Ulti)

Even with just 3k health (which u probly wud have, with him being a str hero) his ulti will do around 1200 dmg...without u being hurt

^thats interesting, but huskar performs better the lower his hp is

Do you think Avatar once activated can cancel global silence and dispel??

Avatar doesnt cancel previous negative buffs. It only gives you targeted spell immunity, negative buffs and stun.

Yeah but it only lasts for 10 seconds.Should be better whit 15 seconds

15 seconds is too long, most fights will last around 5-10 seconds, unless its centuar warchief with hearts, then it would be like 15 (does not include chasing)

does it block silences??????

Yes, Avatoar gives you complete targeted spell immunity and stuns.

Crazy for tanking, when yo're a really dymb STR hero and you're facing Harbi.

I know this has been asked before but i didn't see an answer so can someone tell me if this will stop Voids chronosphere affecting you?
That'd b sweet if it did.

It stops targetted spells only.

If i activated Avatar and someone with lifesteal attacks me..will they still get lifesteal?

Guys....Linken or BKB?

BKB for most heroes, especially since the 6.45 buff to BKB. Linkens as a luxury item for stats-viable heroes like Morphling/Akasha/Terrorblade.

does it block a sunder?
wen avatar activated?

Do you think it would be good for Slardar?

BKB is an excellent item for Slardar, unless the other team has 0 disables.

there are few heroes that actually need this item cept if there are disablers on the other people.

Yesterday I tried it on Kardel Sharpeye it was a great fun for both teams :)))

Build BKB on n'aix.

is it block MKB?

Wat is d use of dis???

avatar gives immunity to spells

also it makes magina ranged which is really awesome

Magina Ranged? What?

WTF How would BKB make Magina ranged?

Heheh saves my butt when casting

Use it with axe. omfg.

im not sure if my question is related to the topic..

what is the item needed to get the ultimate?

sori im just a noob..

As for DOTA version 6.48

BKB cancels out God's Strengh's buff.

i tested

thats stupid, Avatar is supposed to block aggressive targeted spells, not remove previous buffs.

Best item for Luna's Eclipse

I mean with this item, u can completely avoid Luna' ult

hey imagin' avatar to the Tiny!!!!hell yeah!!!!!!

hey imagin' avatar to the Tiny!!!!hell yeah!!!!!!

I've done it on the older versions,when roshan didn't respown and dealt a lot more damage and was very big; guess what-when on avatar Tiny dwarfs Roshan

I though Tiny didnt grow any bigger when Avatar is one, he has the animation of growing bigger, but resumes normal size again.
BKB is useless for me most games, thats why i dont know much bout it.

Hey, is BKB goog for mortred?? coz everytime i'm about to go for the kill, someone would stun me or use cyclone? and zeus was such a pain in the ass. any advice would be appreciated. thanks!!!!!

BKB is not good for any heroes besides Sand King, Crystal Maiden and Naix. its only when ur against targetted casters and disablers its good.

a great help to terrorblade, since people chain stun him right before you're about to sunder.

have you tried using this BKB against viper? This will remove the viper strike once activated by the hero stroke with it.

It didn't go off sometimes and persist for the whole game

ok i dont know if this is for BKB but when naix uses Avatar Juggs omnislash still gets through.

too imba on naix, he gains 30 second immunity to all spells. this sucks for any hero that versus's naix

PRO LEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Er does this stop dwarven sniper's ulti? Cos his ulti really bugs me, and with Mortred as long as he doesn't kill me first with ulti he's dead.

bkb stops all if not most targetted spells, so i could assume it would.

btw choijinhyeok

omnislash is physical damage, not magical damage. avatar and naixs ulti only ignore magical attacks.

Martin Luther King Bar?

OKAY, I have an important question..

Does Avatar block permabash from Cranium basher????

If a hero, let say troll, comes up to me and start hitting me, do I get stunned or not if I'm activate Avatar?

cranium basher is not a magical attack.

lupeman has all the answers...

TOMORROW IVE A 2VS 1 DUEL.. Y WILL USE TROLL WARLORD, AGAINST BARATHURN & EARTHSHAKER.. DO YOU THINK THIS ITEM IS TEH RIGTH CHOICE? CAN EARTHSHAKER STUN ME WITH AVATAR?

Earthshaker can stun u with Enchant Totem, Fissure and Echo Slam even with Avatar activated, cos Aftershock is a passive physical stun.

what happens to balanar if you activate avatar on him?

does it stop me being affected by doom

If on avatar he won't be able to cast doom on you, but if you already have doom on you, activating the avatar will not help you

If on avatar he won't be able to cast doom on you, but if you already have doom on you, activating the avatar will not help you

If on avatar he won't be able to cast doom on you, but if you already have doom on you, activating the avatar will not help you

Ty but what should I give Rexxar and SK linken or BKB

Ty but what should I give Rexxar and SK linken or BKB

10 seconds of hard ownage, but 100 seconds cooldown..... stupid

A now ust for Void.

While chronoed and at lets say lvl 16, activate MoM no spells can effect you after the chronosphere has gone gg coz they can stun you....when you've got perma stun. (Get basher, vanguard, MoM,Hyperstone then BKB. Trust me Godlike. )

Happy (btw 100 sec CD not much compared to not using ulti then its CD) BKBing

wth is avatar?

when can you not interrupted,by using avatar??? can some1 tell me...
and can u use this on sand king's ulti so he's ulti will not be interrupted by silence????

why is it that a tiny w/ a LvL.3 uLti, when in avatar mode gets Larger but Lasts for onLy a short whiLe??

If we use avatar, could we be bashed or stunned with someone like Jah'rakal?

@dnrg0F_Rzm

yeah a hero can still be stunned poor when we played 3v3 rylai's ulti was canceled because of darkterror but my team mates had sandking and leviathan for back up ... so triple kill

hey for pugna is it better to use bkb or dagon cause if the opponent is running away we can dagon him to kill him but on the other hand if we take bkb he cannot be stunned while using his ulti and hence his ulti will be kick@$$ - what do ya say guys?????????

hey guys.. have u tried this???!!!

use bkb to a flying courier...

it will be a giant bird!!! trust me!!! i works...

it will cover the whole screen

can conjure image be produced with the avatar and having same power as the hero ? for terrorblade ?

This is the 1 item i want to try with lyvcan. Think when u go ulti first and then BKB

nyc

couriers cant use BKB or gem.

im 95% sure of that (unless in 6.50b they allowed it)

@ lupeman
courier can use bkb.
not only in 6.50
i tested it.
a crow
activate avatar

becoming a dragon

DOES BKB COUNTER SMOKE SCREEN?

Does anyone know how BKB interacts with Witch Doctors Maledict? I know it would prevent it from targeting, but if you activated it afterwards, would Avatar prevent the rest of the damage? Bonus damage? Nothing? Also, if I'm channeling a spell, if I get hit - just plain old hit, does it stop the channeling? What if there's a nonmagical buff attached to it, say Maim, or the lightning from Maeltrom? Would Avatar help me channel?

Does anyone know if Witch Doctors Death Ward does magic damage, or regular damage (would Avatar prevent it basically is what I'm asking)?

the description is chaos damage, so it must do regular atk dmg.

its chaos meaning pure damage like puck's 1st skill

does it block return from centaur or blade mail?
