[[Imbue|Imbuement]] is a term for when an [[Item]] requires the player to choose a specific ability of the hero they are playing. Typically the item will enhance only that ability, or provide a greater boost of [[Stats]] for that ability compared to the others.
[[File:Imbue - Example.png|thumb|Purchasing [[Compress Cooldown]] as [[Shiv]] presents the option to Imbue an ability.]]


Items refer to the selected ability as the [[Imbue|Imbued Ability]]. Abilities not imbued by an item are referred to as [[Imbue|Non-Imbued Abilities]].
'''Imbued items''' are [[items]] whose effect is only applied to one ability, chosen by the player or pre-selected by the player's item build.


Ability imbuements are item-specific - imbuing two separate abilities using, for example, [[Superior Cooldown]] and [[Quicksilver Reload]], will not grant both abilities the effect of both items. However, one ability can be imbued by multiple sources.
== Overview ==
Once an item has been imbued, the player can only change the imbued ability by selling the item and buying it again.


[[File:Imbue - Example.png|thumb|Purchasing [[Superior Cooldown]] as [[Shiv]] presents the option to [[Imbue]] an ability.]]
The player can imbue items even in abilities that don't trigger the item's effect.


{{clear}}
Most items cannot be imbued on passive abilities, the only exceptions being {{ItemIcon|Mystic Expansion}} and {{ItemIcon|Duration Extender}}.
 
== Notable interactions ==
* If {{HeroIcon|Silver}} imbues one of her non-ultimate abilities, it imbues both versions of the ability in human and werewolf form.
