Shopkeeper

Shadow Weave is a Tier 3 Weapon Item that can be purchased from the Shop for Souls3,200.

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:

  Haze   Sleep Dagger
  McGinnis   Spectral Wall Only when placing a wall.
  Paradox   Kinetic Carbine Only when starting the charge-up. Firing the shot breaks the stealth.
  Rem   Tag Along Only the initial cast. Hopping to another ally breaks the stealth.
  Sinclair   Vexing Bolt Only when redirecting a fired bolt.
  Spectral Assistant Only when swaping places with a placed assistant.
