I think it has to penetrate magic immunity specifically, not just be pure. I'm sure the wiki has a comprehensive explanation if u need to know the minutiae

Dismember is not pure dmg, but then again SD ulty kills courier with magical dmg. Dota is wierd.

Qop ulty shouldnt work because its Aoe. In my last game qop was killing the mid hero while courier was delivering item and died behind the hero lol

again, pure has nothing to do with it. Neither does aoe.
if it penetrates magic immunity, it affects couriers. period. So exactly how pudge ult disables thru bkb but not damages, it does that to couriers too. SD ult slows AND damages through bkb, so same to courier. The only weird one to my knowledge is chrono since couriers lol their way right through that.

Demonic Purge does not damage through BKB. The reason it kills couriers is because it actually purges their magic immunity buff off them when you cast it before dealing the damage.

SD ult doesn't do damage through normal magic immunity.

This is correct. For some reason (most likely just a bug), the DotA 2 courier magic immunity state is purgeable.

It dealing damage through BKB is a bug in the first place, so it's not surprising that it's inconsistent with other forms of magic immunity, lol.

I thought that when they changed the damage types, pure damage (in general, not including spells that can't specifically target magic-immune things) was supposed to go through bkb?

Edit: nevermind, just looked up 6.82: + Show Spoiler +
The three damage types are Physical, Magical and Pure.

Physical is affected by Physical Armor, Magical is affected by Magical Damage Resistance and Pure is affected by neither.

Magic Immunity has now been renamed to Spell Immunity. Spell Immunity only defines if Spells interact with it, not how damage itself is handled. This means that on its own Spell Immunity status does not reduce any damage.

Black King Bar, Repel, Rage and all other previous forms of "Magic Immunity" now grant Spell Immunity status and a 100% Magic Resistance bonus.

In the vast majority of cases, the interactions are still the same, however an example of a case that would be different is if an ability has both Spell Immunity exception and has Pure damage type. Previously the damage would not have any impact, however now it does.

Ability Tooltips now have these fields:

-Damage Type: Physical/Magical/Pure
-Pierces Spell Immunity: Yes/No

If the Damage Type is not Magical it will be colored differently to make it easier to notice. The same is true in cases where Pierces Spell Immunity is Yes.



Basically a spell needs to penetrate spell immunity and deal pure damage to go through BKB, by my understanding.

It wasn't even a 6.82 change. Sun Strike didn't damage through BKB in 6.82 and prior. 6.82b changed it to damage through BKB without mentioning it in the patch notes--which seems to imply that the change wasn't intended.

Question regarding playing as Slark vs a high-evasion carry like PA - when would you go after MKB, post-SB pre-Skadi?
