What is Black King Bar (BKB) in Dota 2?
Black King Bar (BKB) is an active item that you can buy at the Base Shop. This item looks like a yellow mask at first glance, but it's actually the top. Overall, the BKB is stick-shaped.
To get it, you can combine three items:
- Ogre Ax (1,000 golds)
- Mithril Hammer (1,600 golds)
- Black King Bar's Recipe (1,450 golds)
After getting it, this item gives +10 Strength and +24 status bonuses Attack Damage. As an active item, BKB can issue named abilities Avatars.
Avatars is an ability that can give your hero Spell Immunity for a certain duration (9/8/7/6 seconds) and make it look bigger 30%.
The more you use it, the shorter the duration with the lowest time is 6 seconds. This item has 90 second cooldown and need which costs 50.
BKB Function: Hero Does Not Translucent Opponent's Skill
Anyone can buy a Black King Bar, both Carry, Midlaner, and Support. But naturally, BKB is used by damage dealers or initiators.
With BKB, they become immune from most of the enemy's active attacks or items. For example, Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field, Lion's Finger of Death, even Chaos Meteor Invoker.
Apart from making their skills not work, they have to attack with basic attacks. Immunity from spells doesn't mean immunity from basic attacks, right?
But, if you want to be immune from normal attacks, you can buy Ghost Scepter.
