Notes
- Tankbuster is a Charge-Up item, thus not affected by Cooldown Reduction.
- Tankbuster only goes on cooldown when it affects enemy heroes. It will not go on cooldown when you hit an NPC.
- Tankbuster has inconsistent interactions with different sources of damage resist and amplification.
- Spirit Resist Reduction on target helps trigger Tankbuster. For example, an ability that would otherwise deal 160 damage, when striking a target affected with
Mystic Vulnerability will trigger Tankbuster. - Spirit Resist on target does not prevent Tankbuster from triggering. For example, an ability that deals 170 damage, when striking a target with
Spirit Resilience will still trigger Tankbuster. - Most other sources seem to not affect the trigger, but more testing is required to confirm that.
- Spirit Resist Reduction on target helps trigger Tankbuster. For example, an ability that would otherwise deal 160 damage, when striking a target affected with
- The triggering of the additional damage is entirely unaffected by the target's barriers (or lack thereof).
- The additional damage, and the ability which triggered the additional damage, are applied to the target as separate instances of damage. The additional damage from Tankbuster is dealt after the original spell damage.
