I know that Counter Helix works for illusions, and with 3 Axe, they need to focus one by one, giving more time and dealing more damage.

And Pulse Nova is a toggle ability, and I suppose, since probably each pulse has each own timers, Manta Style on Leshrac means triple nova?
Bit if mova is a debuff, then this wont work at all.

Are you crazy? Of course you can't get triple Pulse Nova with Manta Style ^^

It would be OP as hell if you could :)

Illusions can't ever use active abilities or toggled abilities. Only some extremely specific passives.

Yeah, Armlet of Mordiggian and Split Shot is toggle and illusions have it. What about nova?

But still noone answered Axe with Manta Style

Edit: I dont think you got my point. If you toggled an ability before the illusions are created, the illlusions have toggle ability as well.

Ex: Chaos Knight
Used Armlet of Mordiggian (toggle)
Used Phantasm
Illusions have the armlet buff!

Did you even read the thread? I said that Split Shot is the only skill that works. Hamster said it as well.

Axe with manta is useless.

Make a test game with cheats enabled, try it out! Pulse Nova hits creeps, and this way when you find out you can be credited with thinking to check!

Yes counter helix works on illusions, but you don benefit from the item in other ways, so you are better off getting something else.
