A simple way to remove dust on yourself or your allies! A great trick for invisible heroes.

It should be noted that until a ruling is given by a DotA 2 dev, that this is technically a bug because it does NOT function the same way in DotA 1. In DotA 1, Dust is a Universal-type debuff (like Doom) that is removed neither by magic immunity nor purges.

I knew about Slark's ability being able to do this, but I didn't know about this trick! I didn't even know you could use diffusal blade on yourself lol. Does its active still slow you when you use it on yourself?

No it doesn't. Using it on yourself just does the Purge effect.

Nifty little trick that many doesn't know. Purge is such a useful tool. It also removes many other debuffs like AA's ice blast and etheral form and instakills illusions/summons. Most well known purge-able summon is the warlock inferno, but many don't know that Gyro's missile can be destroyed using purge too.

Purge also helps make lone druid's bear walk slightly slower as he burns you to death with his radi and strolls away with his stupid bearspeed. >:| Why isn't that crap a summon

is it really? that seems like a pretty big bug/discrepancy from dota1, the main reason is because i'd call diffusal one of the core items of riki (best known as The invisible hero? lol). weird that the devs didn't take it in consideration.
the purgeability of dust is also one of the reasons why i prefere counter wards to them.

Yea, i was so confused when i started playing dota2 and riki just kept disappearing after i dusted

Here's a video showing how it works in dota1:

In dota 1, there is only one hero skill that can remove dust. Borrowed Time.

Although i'm not 100% sure if it works on manta/mirror image.

Dark Pact and Kraken Shell remove dust because they're triggered buff removal, not purges.

Mirror image does remove Universal debuffs.
