Hi guys! I have just recently found an addiction to getting Blade Mail. What I would like to know is what heroes you guys usually get Blade Mail to counter them?

Phantom Assassin is an obvious, so squishy yet dealing tonnes of damage. What about Outworld Destroyer? He is fairly squishy, and late game, if your a tank, if he ults you and is very farmed, wouldn't he die? Just a thought, tell me your ideas!

I usually buy Blade Mail against heroes like Drow Ranger, Sniper, Riki and so on, carries who are fed and squishy.

About Outworld Destroyer, yeah, it might be good, but if he's clever, he can just use Astral Imprisonment on you, and when you'll get out your Blade Mail is gone.

The one problem I have with Blade Mail is they need to target you. If you have some way of baiting them like if you were squishy and a carry ( Clinkz comes to mind) it could work really well but if not, its wasted. This is the main reason why I tend to not get Blade Mail but it works great on Undying.

I love it on undying. You can use it then pop ulti and it hides the blademail visual. 9/10 times they'll keep attacking you and not know what's up with their HP disappearing.
Feel free to check out my guides for Spectre, Dragon Knight, Siren, Medusa, Sniper, Disruptor, or Void. They're pretty cool.

As far as I know Blade Mail does not return pure damage.

Against Ursa or Phantom Assassin is a must purchase.

@Sp12 the visual actually hides? Wow must be cool, but probably a bug, yes?

@Wulfstan Oh how could I forget, Ursa of course you'd get Blademail

AFAIK Blade Mail does return Pure Damage. Other good examples are Juggernaut and Death Prophet - once they use their ultis they can't control them, and Blade Mail can make a real mess of em.

Juggernaut is invulnerable while using his ultimate, how does he get damage returned?
