Notable Interactions

• Silence Wave is highly effective at briefly shutting down heroes that are heavily reliant on their abilities, such as Pocket, Yamato, Mina, Shiv, etc.
• Silence Wave can be used to preemptively block certain important ulimates if timed properly, which can sometimes be the difference between winning and losing objectives like the Soul Urn or the Rejuvenator. Some examples of such ultimates include Singularity, Affliction, and Shadow Transformation.
• Silence Wave can be a potent tool for catching/crippling heroes that rely on their abilities for sustain/escaping, such as Pocket, Mina, and Victor.
