Notes:

  • Double clicking the item casts it on self.
  • If the target is more than 500 range away, the caster moves to the target until it is within 250 range before casting.
  • The owner does not have to face the target to use this on it.
  • Successive casts on the same target do not stack, but refresh the duration instead.
  • Fully stacks with other health regeneration increasing effects.


Strategy

Healing salves are used to rapidly regenerate health without leaving your lane. Its usage is interchangeable with the Tango, but with some notable differences. Unlike tangos, salve regeneration is canceled when 20 damage (before reductions) or more is taken. As such it is recommended to stay away from the actual creep line or enemy heroes while using it to prevent wasting a portion of the heal. Another difference is that salve only comes with 1 charge, while tangos come with 4 that regenerate less HP per charge at a slower rate, but more total HP over the four charges. Although tangos are more reliable and can be less wasteful in healing than a salve, the salve is much faster at healing.

Salve can also be used to heal through the effects of any other spell that deals under 20 damage per tick (such Pudge`s Rot for the first 3 levels), and non-damage type spells.

Notes
  • Heals 50 hp per second.
  • The effect is lost if damage is taken from an enemy player or Roshan.
  • HP Cost does not cancel the effect.
  • Healing Salve has a nearby buffer range, allowing it to be cast on allies within 500 range. Casting outside of this range results in the default 250 range being used instead of the buffer.

Recommended Heroes

Strongly recommended for any hero that has taken significant damage in the early game, and needs to regenerate a large portion of their health without wasting time returning to the Fountain.
