— Shopkeeper

Shadow Weave is a Tier 3 Weapon Item that can be purchased from the Shop for  3,200.

Notes

• Targeted abilities such as Mo & Krill's Combo and Curse's active effect still work as normal on heroes in stealth.
• The increase in fire rate after ending stealth is gradual, increasing to to the full 30% after about half a second.

Interactions with Stealth

• In addition to attacking and casting most abilities, using most items will also end Stealth and start an Ambush.
• Additional activations of most abilities that can be recast will break Stealth (e.g. recasting Mina's Sanguine Retreat or redirecting Ivy's Kudzu Connection tether to another ally).

Abilities that don't break stealth

• Some abilities do not break Stealth when cast and thus won't start an Ambush:
