How to Master Disruptor in Dota 2: The Ultimate Guide for Every Rank (2026)

Why Disruptor Is the Ultimate Teamfight Controller

Disruptor is a ranged intelligence support typically played in the position 4 or position 5 role. According to Dotabuff, Disruptor sits at a solid 51-52% winrate across most brackets, with his best performance in Ancient and Divine where players know how to capitalize on his incredible setup potential. His pick rate tends to spike during metas that favor teamfight-heavy drafts, and in 2026 he remains one of the most reliable support picks in the game.

What makes Disruptor unique among supports is his layered control. Most supports bring one form of crowd control — a stun, a slow, or a silence. Disruptor brings all three at once. Thunder Strike provides vision and damage over time. Glimpse is a repositioning tool with no real equivalent in the game. Kinetic Field traps enemies in a small area. And Static Storm blankets that area with escalating damage and — with Aghanim’s Scepter — a mute that prevents item usage entirely.

The hero’s ceiling is extremely high. A Disruptor who can consistently land Glimpse into Kinetic Field into Static Storm will win teamfights that no other support could. The hero scales not with items but with player skill, game sense, and understanding of enemy movement patterns. He is the ultimate “big brain” support.

Abilities Deep Dive

Thunder Strike (Q)

Thunder Strike is Disruptor’s primary laning tool and a surprisingly versatile ability throughout the game. It places a debuff on the target that strikes them with lightning bolts repeatedly over several seconds, dealing damage with each strike and providing vision of the target between strikes. This vision component is often underestimated — it means the target cannot juke into trees or fog to escape.

Key mechanics most players miss:

• The vision radius around each strike is 600 units — this is enough to reveal surrounding trees and nearby heroes trying to help. Use it to scout Roshan or check high ground before pushing.
• Thunder Strike hits enemies near the target too. Each lightning bolt damages all enemies within a radius around the primary target. In lane, if the enemy carry and support stand close together, one Thunder Strike hits both.
• The damage intervals are consistent and predictable. You can time Glimpse and Kinetic Field around the remaining strikes to stack damage with your combo.
• Thunder Strike provides true sight within its vision radius for each pulse. This means you can use it to deward or reveal invisible heroes attempting to escape.

Skill build note: In most games, you want to max Thunder Strike first for lane dominance. The damage scales significantly per level and the mana cost stays efficient. However, against heroes who rotate early (like Spirit Breaker or Earth Spirit), consider getting an early second point in Glimpse at level 3 or 4 to punish their ganks.

Glimpse (W)

Glimpse is the single most powerful non-ultimate ability on any support hero in Dota 2. It sends an enemy hero back to where they were 4 seconds ago. The implications of this are enormous. Any hero who teleports to a fight gets sent back to base. Any hero who blinks forward gets sent back to their original position. Any hero who uses a mobility spell to escape gets pulled right back into danger.

Key mechanics most players miss:

• Glimpse has 1800 cast range at max level. This is one of the longest cast ranges in the game, longer than most blink initiations. You can Glimpse heroes from complete safety.
• The 4-second lookback is based on the hero’s position when Glimpse projectile hits, not when you cast it. This means the travel time of the Glimpse projectile matters — a Glimpse cast at max range takes longer to arrive, effectively increasing the lookback window slightly.
• You can Glimpse heroes during their TP channel. If an enemy starts channeling a TP, wait about 2 seconds, then cast Glimpse. Even if they complete the TP, they will be sent back to where they were when they started channeling.
• Glimpse goes through spell immunity (BKB). The repositioning effect is blocked by spell immunity, but if BKB expires during the Glimpse travel time, the hero still gets sent back. Track enemy BKB timings carefully.
• Glimpse reveals the target location with a visual indicator. Your team can see exactly where the enemy will land, allowing perfect follow-up stuns and nukes.

Advanced Glimpse usage: In high-level games, Disruptor players track enemy movements constantly. When you see an enemy hero run forward to last hit or harass, count to 3-4 seconds and Glimpse them. They will be sent back behind their tower, out of XP range, losing valuable lane resources. In teamfights, always prioritize Glimpsing enemies who just used their mobility spell — a Queen of Pain who blinked forward, a Storm Spirit who zipped in, or an Anti-Mage who blinked aggressively.

Kinetic Field (E)

Kinetic Field creates a circular barrier that prevents enemy heroes from walking through it for its duration. The field takes a short delay to form after casting (1.2 seconds), which is why combining it with Glimpse is essential — you need the Glimpse to position the enemy exactly where the field will form.

Key mechanics most players miss:

• Kinetic Field does not prevent movement abilities. Heroes can still blink, force staff, or use movement spells to escape the field. The field only blocks normal walking movement.
• The formation delay is exactly 1.2 seconds. Memorize this timing. When you Glimpse someone, you need to place the Kinetic Field at the Glimpse landing location with perfect timing so it forms just as they arrive.
• Kinetic Field provides vision inside and slightly outside the barrier. This prevents enemies from fogging you while trapped inside.
• Enemies who are already inside the field when it forms are trapped. You do not need to catch them entering — placing it on top of them works.
• The barrier blocks movement in both directions. Your own team’s heroes can walk through it freely, but enemies cannot walk in or out.

Static Storm (R) — Ultimate

Static Storm is a channeled AoE ability that creates a storm of electricity in an area, dealing increasing damage per second and silencing all enemies inside. With Aghanim’s Scepter, it also applies a mute, preventing all item usage — including BKB activation. This makes Aghanim’s Disruptor one of the hardest counters to BKB-reliant heroes in the entire game.

Key mechanics most players miss:

• The damage ramps up over the duration. The first second deals minimal damage, but by the end of the channel, each tick deals massive damage. Enemies who stay inside for the full duration take significantly more than those who escape early.
• Static Storm is channeled — you must stay alive and not be stunned. Position yourself in the backline or use Glimmer Cape / BKB before channeling. Getting interrupted wastes the entire ultimate.
• Aghanim’s Scepter mute prevents ALL item activations. BKB, Force Staff, Eul’s Scepter, Manta Style, Satanic, Aeon Disk — nothing works. This is the most powerful disable upgrade in Dota 2.
• Static Storm persists even if Disruptor dies during the channel only with Aghanim’s Shard. Without Shard, the storm ends when the channel ends (naturally or via interruption).
• The silence applies immediately on the first tick. There is no delay — the moment a hero enters the storm, they are silenced. Combined with Kinetic Field, this creates an inescapable death zone.

Recommended Skill Builds

Standard Build maxes Thunder Strike first for lane harass, then Glimpse for mid-game pick-offs. Aggressive Lane prioritizes Thunder Strike early but takes Glimpse at 3 to set up kills with your carry. Defensive Build gets two early points in Glimpse to punish ganking heroes and protect your carry from rotations.

Item Builds by Rank Bracket

Why Items Differ by Rank

Herald to Crusader: At lower ranks, fights are chaotic and uncoordinated. Arcane Boots help keep your mana pool healthy since fights last longer and you will be casting more spells. Glimmer Cape is prioritized because enemies rarely carry detection, making it an incredibly efficient survivability tool. Aether Lens gives you extra range to land your combo from safety — critical when positioning discipline is lacking.

Archon to Legend: Players start understanding Disruptor’s combo at this level, so they will actively try to interrupt or kill you. Force Staff becomes equally important as Glimmer Cape for both offensive and defensive purposes. You can Force Staff an ally into your Kinetic Field to bait, or Force yourself away after channeling Static Storm.

Ancient to Divine: At this bracket, Tranquil Boots are preferred over Arcane Boots because Aether Lens already provides mana, and Tranquils give movement speed and HP regen that keep you alive through the mid-game. Urn of Shadows is excellent for early fighting lineups. BKB becomes essential because enemies will focus you the moment they see your channel animation.

Immortal: The highest level of play treats Disruptor as a glass cannon teamfight controller. Refresher Orb is the dream late-game item — double Static Storm with Aghanim’s Scepter creates two overlapping mute zones that can lock down an entire team for over 10 seconds. Positioning items are everything, and BKB is non-negotiable to guarantee your channel goes through.

Laning Phase Masterclass

Disruptor is a strong laner primarily because of Thunder Strike. At level 1, a single Thunder Strike deals significant damage over its duration, chunks through enemy regen, and provides vision to prevent juking. Your job in lane is to make the enemy offlaner’s life miserable while keeping your carry safe.

Positioning in Lane

Stand between the enemy offlaner and the creep wave. Your 625 attack range lets you right-click harass while threatening Thunder Strike. Do not stand behind your carry — this is the most common mistake low-ranked Disruptor players make. You need to be aggressive, zoning the enemy away from XP range whenever possible.

When playing as a position 5, pull the small camp at x:15 and x:45 timestamps to control lane equilibrium. Between pulls, use Thunder Strike on the enemy offlaner to drain their regen. A good Disruptor can force two sets of Tangoes from the enemy offlaner in the first four minutes, effectively winning the lane for their carry.

Level 2 Power Spike

Once you hit level 2 with Thunder Strike and Glimpse, your kill potential increases dramatically. Here is the play: wait for the enemy offlaner to walk forward aggressively. Let them overextend for 3-4 seconds. Then Glimpse them back to where they were — which is often behind your creep wave and closer to your tower. Follow up with Thunder Strike and right clicks. If your carry has a stun or slow, this is often a guaranteed kill.

Anti-Gank with Glimpse

When an enemy support rotates to gank your lane, Glimpse is your best defensive tool. If you see an enemy hero teleporting in, wait for the TP to complete, then immediately Glimpse them. They get sent back to where they were 4 seconds ago — which is usually the fountain or another lane entirely. This single ability can completely nullify enemy rotations if you have the awareness to use it reactively.

Lane Partner Synergies

Disruptor pairs best with carries who have their own stun or slow to follow up on Glimpse:

• Juggernaut: Glimpse into Blade Fury is a guaranteed kill at level 2-3. The slow from Thunder Strike keeps enemies in Blade Fury range.
• Ursa: Glimpse the target back, Earthshock slow plus Overpower shreds any hero caught out of position.
• Troll Warlord: Ranged Whirling Axes slow combined with Glimpse means enemies cannot escape. Troll’s attack speed handles the rest.
• Sven: Storm Hammer stun after Glimpse is a classic kill combo. Sven’s burst damage finishes off heroes quickly.
• Wraith King: Wraithfire Blast stun into Glimpse reposition creates easy kills. WK’s tankiness lets him commit while Disruptor controls.

Mid and Late Game Transitions

Mid Game (15-30 Minutes)

Disruptor’s mid-game revolves around one thing: punishing enemy positioning with Glimpse and setting up kills. Once you have Aether Lens, your Glimpse range becomes absurd. Roam with your team, ward aggressively, and look for enemies who overextend on the map. A single Glimpse catch into Kinetic Field plus Static Storm can turn a 5v5 into a 5v4 before the fight even starts.

Timing windows: Disruptor peaks hardest between 20-35 minutes. This is when you likely have Aether Lens and are working toward Aghanim’s Scepter. Enemy BKBs are still long (10 seconds), meaning your non-Aghs combo is somewhat weaker, but Glimpse catches and Kinetic Field traps are still devastating for pick-offs.

Teamfight positioning: Stand 1200-1500 units behind your frontline. You need to be close enough to cast your combo but far enough that assassins cannot reach you. The biggest mistake mid-game Disruptor players make is standing too close to the fight and getting jumped before they can channel Static Storm. Your life is worth more than almost any other hero on your team — if you die before casting your ultimate, your team loses the fight.

The Combo Execution

The full Disruptor combo in a teamfight follows this exact sequence:

1. Thunder Strike the primary target for vision and damage
2. Glimpse a key target (ideally someone who just used a mobility spell)
3. Kinetic Field placed at the Glimpse landing location (cast it 0.5 seconds before they arrive)
4. Static Storm centered on the Kinetic Field
5. Channel Static Storm for the full duration while your team cleans up

The timing between Glimpse and Kinetic Field is everything. Practice this in demo mode until it is muscle memory. The field has a 1.2-second formation delay, so you need to account for the Glimpse travel time plus this delay. At max Glimpse range, cast Kinetic Field almost immediately after Glimpse. At close range, wait about 1 second before placing the field.

Late Game (30+ Minutes)

In the late game, Disruptor’s impact depends heavily on one item: Aghanim’s Scepter. Without it, enemy BKBs make your ultimate far less threatening. With it, Static Storm becomes one of the most terrifying abilities in Dota 2 — a mute zone that prevents all item usage, including BKB.

Once you have Aghanim’s, your priority in fights shifts. You no longer need to catch people with Glimpse first. Instead, wait for the enemy team to commit to a fight, then drop Kinetic Field on top of the clumped enemies and immediately Static Storm. The Aghanim’s mute prevents them from using BKB, Force Staff, or any other escape item. Your team has a 5+ second window to destroy everyone trapped inside.

Late-game item priorities:

• BKB is essential. Without it, you will be stunned out of your channel every fight. Enemies know your ultimate wins fights, so they will dedicate resources to stopping it.
• Refresher Orb is the ultimate luxury. Double Static Storm with Aghanim’s creates an absurd 10+ second mute zone. This is game-winning in high-ground defense or base pushes.
• Aeon Disk provides a safety net against burst damage. If you get jumped, Aeon Disk prevents you from dying instantly, giving you a window to reposition and cast your combo.

Counters and How to Beat Them

Top 5 Heroes That Destroy Disruptor

1. Lifestealer — Rage provides spell immunity that blocks all of Disruptor’s abilities (pre-Aghanim’s). Lifestealer can activate Rage before entering Static Storm, walk through Kinetic Field, and kill the squishy Disruptor. Even with Aghanim’s, a smart Lifestealer activates Rage before the combo lands. How to play around it: Save your combo for after Rage expires. Communicate with your team to bait out Rage before you commit Static Storm.

2. Juggernaut — Blade Fury provides magic immunity and Omnislash makes Juggernaut untargetable. Both abilities let him ignore Disruptor’s entire kit. He can spin through Kinetic Field and Omnislash out of Static Storm. How to play around it: Target other heroes with your combo. Use Glimpse to reposition Juggernaut after Blade Fury ends.

3. Anti-Mage — Blink on a 5-second cooldown means Anti-Mage can escape Kinetic Field easily. Counterspell reflects Glimpse back onto Disruptor. Mana Void punishes Disruptor’s large mana pool. How to play around it: Bait out Counterspell with Thunder Strike before using Glimpse. Focus Kinetic Field placement to catch AM after blink is on cooldown.

4. Phantom Lancer — Doppelganger purges Thunder Strike and creates confusion about which PL to Glimpse. Phantom Rush lets illusions flood into Kinetic Field, and the real PL can Doppelganger out of Static Storm. How to play around it: Use Static Storm on the entire illusion army to clear them. Focus on catching PL after Doppelganger is on cooldown.

5. Nyx Assassin — Spiked Carapace reflects any of Disruptor’s abilities and stuns him. Vendetta provides invisible initiation to jump Disruptor before he can combo. Mana Burn chunks Disruptor’s intelligence-heavy mana pool. How to play around it: Always carry detection. Be aware of Nyx’s Vendetta cooldown and position accordingly. Avoid casting Thunder Strike when Carapace might be up.

General Counter Strategies

Items that counter Disruptor include BKB (blocks everything except Aghanim’s-upgraded Static Storm), Force Staff (pushes allies out of Kinetic Field), Lotus Orb (reflects Glimpse and Thunder Strike), and Linken’s Sphere (blocks single-target abilities). As a Disruptor player, you need to track which enemies have these items and adjust your targeting accordingly.

Heroes Disruptor Destroys

Top 5 Favorable Matchups

1. Storm Spirit — Disruptor is the hardest counter to Storm Spirit in the game. Every time Storm zips forward aggressively, Glimpse sends him right back. Kinetic Field prevents Ball Lightning from escaping (Storm cannot zip through the field). Static Storm silences his ability to zip. A good Disruptor makes Storm Spirit unplayable.

2. Nature’s Prophet — Teleportation is Prophet’s core mechanic, and Glimpse punishes it perfectly. Every time NP teleports to a lane to push, Glimpse sends him back to where he was. He essentially cannot split push against Disruptor without risk. Kinetic Field also traps Treants for easy clear.

3. Queen of Pain — QoP relies on Blink for positioning and Scream/Ult for burst damage. Glimpse sends her back after she blinks forward. Static Storm silences all her abilities. Without mobility, QoP is one of the squishiest heroes in the game.

4. Ember Spirit — Remnant-based escapes are countered by Glimpse. If Ember uses Fire Remnant to jump forward, Glimpse sends him back. If he places a defensive remnant and jumps back, you can predict the landing spot and drop Kinetic Field plus Static Storm on it. Ember relies entirely on casting abilities, and silence shuts him down completely.

5. Tinker — Tinker’s entire gameplan revolves around teleporting around the map with Boots of Travel. Glimpse punishes every single TP. Static Storm prevents Tinker from casting Rearm. Kinetic Field traps him in place. Disruptor is statistically Tinker’s worst matchup according to Dotabuff data across all brackets.

How Pros Play Disruptor in Current Patch

In the 2025-2026 competitive season, Disruptor has seen consistent play as a position 4 and occasionally position 5 in drafts that prioritize teamfight control. Pro teams value Disruptor primarily for his Glimpse as a ganking tool in the early-to-mid game transition, and his Static Storm with Aghanim’s as a late-game insurance policy against BKB-reliant cores.

Notable trends from recent pro matches:

• Cr1t- (Team Liquid) has been a prominent Disruptor player, frequently picking the hero as a position 4. His trademark play involves aggressive warding in the enemy jungle and using Glimpse catches to create pick-offs that snowball into objective takes. Cr1t prioritizes Aether Lens rush into fast Aghanim’s, often skipping Glimmer Cape entirely in favor of raw impact.
• fy (various teams) historically defined how Disruptor is played at the highest level. His Kinetic Field placement reads enemy movement patterns 2-3 seconds in advance, consistently trapping multiple heroes in a single field. Modern pros still follow his positioning templates.
• Draft positioning: Pros pick Disruptor specifically into Storm Spirit, Tinker, and Ember Spirit lineups. The hero is rarely first-picked because his counters (Lifestealer, BKB-rushing cores) are well-known. He works best as a 3rd-5th pick when you can confirm the enemy draft relies on mobility heroes.

Pro build trends: At the highest level, Tranquil Boots are almost universal over Arcane Boots. Pros prioritize movement speed for positioning and rely on Clarity usage for mana. The Aether Lens rush is standard, followed by a fast Aghanim’s timing between 25-30 minutes. BKB is purchased third in almost every pro game.

Rank-Specific Climbing Guide

Herald to Guardian — Foundation Basics

At this rank, the most important thing you can do as Disruptor is stay alive and use your abilities. This might sound obvious, but many Herald support players die 15+ times per game because they stand in the wrong position. Focus on these fundamentals:

• Stand behind your cores in fights. You are not a frontline hero. Let your team initiate, then cast your abilities from maximum range.
• Use Thunder Strike on cooldown in lane. At this rank, enemy offlaners do not dodge or play around it. Free damage wins lanes.
• Do not save Glimpse for the “perfect” moment. If you can Glimpse someone out of position, do it. Imperfect Glimpses are better than unused Glimpses.
• Drop Static Storm in the middle of fights. Even without a perfect Kinetic Field setup, a well-placed Static Storm that silences 2-3 heroes wins teamfights at this bracket.
• Buy Observer Wards. Vision wins games. Place wards before fights happen, not after you are already losing.

Crusader to Archon — Adding Game Sense

This bracket is where Disruptor starts to feel powerful. Players are better at following up on your setups, but enemies are also starting to buy BKBs. Focus on:

• Track enemy TP scrolls. When you see an enemy TP to a tower, start counting. Glimpse them after the TP completes to send them back. This single play wins more games than anything else at this rank.
• Practice the Glimpse into Kinetic Field combo in demo mode. You should be able to land this combo 80% of the time before playing ranked.
• Start buying Aether Lens first. The extra range is worth more than any other item at this stage. It lets you cast from positions where enemies cannot punish you.
• Communicate with your team before fights. Tell your carry “I will Glimpse the Storm/QoP, be ready to burst them.” Coordinated combos win games.
• Ward the enemy jungle entrances. Disruptor’s strength is catching people. Wards that show enemy movements let you set up Glimpse catches.

Legend to Ancient — The Macro Leap

Legend to Ancient is where Disruptor becomes a top-tier support pick because the games are played around teamfights and objectives, which is exactly what Disruptor excels at. At this level:

• Aghanim’s Scepter timing matters enormously. If you get Aghanim’s by 28-30 minutes, your team has a massive power spike. Communicate that you need farm priority on support items — take stacks, secure bounty runes, and avoid dying to protect your gold.
• Start tracking enemy BKB charges. A 6-second BKB is much less threatening than a 10-second one. If you know the enemy carry has a short BKB, you can wait it out in fights and then drop your combo after it expires.
• Use Glimpse to control Roshan fights. When enemies try to contest Roshan, Glimpse the first hero who enters the pit. This creates a 4v5 before the fight begins.
• Position around terrain. Channel Static Storm from behind trees, on cliffs, or in fog. Enemies at this rank will try to stun you out of your channel, so make yourself hard to reach.

Divine to Immortal — What Separates the Top 1%

At Divine and Immortal, Disruptor is played as a surgical instrument, not a blunt force tool. The differences at this level are subtle but game-defining:

• Predictive Glimpse usage. Immortal Disruptors do not wait for enemies to TP — they anticipate it. If you see an enemy hero missing from a lane and a fight is about to happen, pre-position near the tower they will TP to and Glimpse the instant they arrive.
• Static Storm as a zoning tool. Sometimes you do not need to catch anyone in your ultimate. Dropping Static Storm on a chokepoint forces the enemy team to go around it, creating positional advantages for your team.
• Refresher timing decisions. A double Static Storm with Aghanim’s Scepter wins any teamfight, but Refresher is expensive and you are a support. Know when the game demands it (high-ground defense, mega creeps, game-deciding fights) versus when other items are more efficient.
• Glimpse geometry. At this level, you mentally track where every enemy hero was 4 seconds ago at all times. This lets you make instant Glimpse decisions without hesitation. The difference between a 0.5-second reaction Glimpse and a 2-second reaction Glimpse is often the difference between a kill and a missed opportunity.
• Draft-aware itemization. Against Linken’s Sphere carriers, use Thunder Strike to pop the Linken’s before Glimpsing. Against Lotus Orb, bait the active with Thunder Strike (or just accept the reflected Glimpse and focus on Kinetic Field placement). Against heavy magic immunity lineups, rush Aghanim’s even faster.

Tips and Tricks

Advanced Mechanics

• Glimpse TP cancel: The most impactful trick. When an enemy completes a TP scroll to join a fight, Glimpse them within 4 seconds. They teleport in, then immediately get sent back to base. This turns every enemy rotation into a wasted TP and 70+ seconds of being out of the fight.
• Thunder Strike scouting: Cast Thunder Strike on an enemy before they enter fog or Roshan pit. The vision pulses reveal their position even through fog of war. This is invaluable for tracking enemy movements.
• Kinetic Field prediction placement: Place Kinetic Field where the enemy will be, not where they are. If your team has a Clockwerk or Mars who initiates, place the field centered on where the enemy heroes are being pushed toward.
• Static Storm fog channel: Stand in trees or on a cliff before channeling Static Storm. Enemies cannot interrupt what they cannot see or reach. This is especially effective near Roshan pit and around high ground.
• Glimpse + TP combo: If you are far from a fight, TP to a tower near the fight and Glimpse an overextending enemy. The 1800 range on Glimpse means you can catch people who think they are safe.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using Static Storm before Kinetic Field forms. The field takes 1.2 seconds to activate. If you cast Static Storm before the field is up, enemies walk out of the silence before it matters. Always wait for the field to form.
• Glimpsing targets your team is already killing. If your team is bursting down a target, Glimpsing them away wastes the ability and potentially saves them. Use Glimpse on the next target or a hero trying to escape.
• Standing too close to fights. Disruptor has 625 attack range and most of his abilities have 800+ cast range. There is no reason to be within 600 units of an enemy hero. Stay back.
• Forgetting to Glimmer or BKB before channeling. Static Storm’s channel is interrupted by any stun or silence. Always activate your defensive item BEFORE pressing R, not after.
• Not buying enough Clarities. Disruptor is extremely mana-hungry in the early game. Carry 2-3 Clarities at all times during the first 15 minutes. Running out of mana and being unable to Glimpse or cast Static Storm loses fights.

Hidden Interactions

• Glimpse interacts uniquely with Morphling’s Morph ability. If Morphling morphs into a hero and you Glimpse him, he returns to where his original body was 4 seconds ago, which can be devastating if he morphed from far away.
• Kinetic Field blocks Pangolier’s Rolling Thunder. Pango cannot roll through the field, making Disruptor one of the few heroes who can reliably stop a rolling Pangolier.
• Static Storm’s Aghanim’s mute prevents Aeon Disk activation. This means enemies cannot use their safety net item against your combo. This interaction alone makes Aghanim’s worth the investment.
• Thunder Strike continues through banishment effects like Outworld Destroyer’s Astral Imprisonment or Shadow Demon’s Disruption. The strikes still land when the hero reappears.
