Inhibitor is a Tier 4 Vitality Item that can be purchased from the Shop for  6,400.

Inhibitor's effect appears as a downward red arrow in the player's back and cause the player's model to lose color saturation.

Inhibitor debuff effect

Notes

• Inhibitor's Damage Reduction Debuff effect will apply to enemy players with Unstoppable activated.

Notable interactions

• Damage Reduction stacks additively with Mirage's Fire Scarabs.

Buildup Per Shot

The item has a different buildup per shot depending on which hero purchased the item. The status only triggers once a buildup reaches 100% on an enemy player, and the buildup decays back to 0 if an enemy hasn't been shot for some time. Melee attacks count as 1 shot.

Once Inhibited, subsequent shots refresh the duration of the effect.
