The question is; when do you get the 5 man OD ult?

Also, question - what defines a passive that applies to break? Riki invis does not break. Bristleback, Necromastery, Berserker's Blood and Essence Shift come to mind as a few abilities that could be huge to shut down.

What defines it is the list posted in the patch notes afaik

All 3 of the ones u listed break afaik

And yes as I said, "magical christmas land" aka theorycrafting that pretty much never applies to reality.

I listed five of them, and I know that one of them does not break. It's getting to the point where I just opt out of SE because it's so inconsistent when I haven't tried it in that specific matchup yet...

Essence Shift stops reapplying by Break, but you can't purge the stacks... I guess this just means I have to know when his stacks disappear. If SF buys back and gets a kill with SE Break on him and does not get souls it's pretty significant. I gotta try that one later.

OD aghs seems to exist solely so that the guy who keeps saving enemies with astral can progress to saving the entire enemy team with astral.

I mean it seems more like a disengage tool. Since it doesn't give you a damage boost or any extra utility you probably aren't going to be going aghs if you're trying to do more damage. The effect could synergize with some long-setup spells, or you could potentially use it to set up an enemy-only chrono etc.

The question is; when do you get the 5 man OD ult?

aghs still does increase the radius of the ult to 800, it's not that uncommon.

Again, with Refresher, it's just way more damage than before.

You need some obscene Int difference for the multiplier increase on the old Agha to come anywhere close to the amount of damage the 2nd ulti adds with multiple heroes worth of Int steal. And by obscene I mean "not possible in a real game".

Basically this just turns Agha into "mediocre utility without Refresher, but crazy damage with Refresher".

13 int steal
so thats + 13 to OD and minus 13 to the other guy, 26 int difference. Plus 13 more int stolen per target hit. If you hit 5 people its 78 additional int difference.

At 10 dmg per int, thats 780 more dmg on ur second ult

Interesting, snoman so inspiring with these calculations....so, i tried my hand at a calculation example for a very lategame scenario with the OD ultimate against axe.

220 int ..... lvl25 6-slotted OD
+30 int ..... Alchemist aghs (+30 int from atos)
- 96 int ..... lvl25 6 slotted axe
+78 int ..... Added int to OD according to Sno
---- +
232 int difference

equals

2320 damage to axe. Like wtf, i must have screwed something up i guess, because this isnt even fair, or is it?

the added damage only occurs on your 2nd ult if you have a refresher
also 78 requires a 5-man first ult

also aghs is 10 int.

I believe you can see all the emoticons by pressing the face button to the right of your chat-box ingame
(press enter to bring up chatbox and the icon to see all ur emoticons is on the right)
clicking one enters the text that will be replaced with an emoticon, usually :text: such as :laugh: etc

Well, or 3-4 man first ult + regular Astral once or twice to clean up the stragglers.

But yeah, if you look at the numbers Sn0 gave, it's pretty easy to see why Icefrog made the damage comes before the Int steal lol.
