The description on linkens sphere says it blocks "most" targeted spelled once every 17 seconds. I thought there were never any exceptions, depending on how you define "direct targeted." It blocks Doom's ult which goes through BKB and other forms of magic immunity. Lo and behold I just saw that Razor's static link goes right through. Does anyone know if activating eul's scepter of divinity (wind wand) on either razor or his target will break the link?

I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't - even things like Astral Imprisonment don't either. You've either got to move out of range or debuff it somehow e.g. Manta Style, I think Dark Pact and Press the Attack work too.

Do you think axe's ult will go through linkens if the target is below the kill threshold?

I would have thought it would block, but the info I've got says not. Then again, Culling Blade does go through just about anything, including Shallow Grave and Black King Bar.

Culling Blade purges before it hits if the target is under the threshold, so yes.That is why it works against Shallow Grave and Black King Bar / Repel .

from what i experienced so far i dont think that anything breaks Static Link except moving away far enough. I have seen it leeching even when the enemy is "invulnurable" like when caught in Disruption or Astral Imprisonment, so i would also assume that euls wont break it either.

Btw Static Link also isnt broken by Manta Style, nor does it purge the -damage.

The purge won't stop Linkens. I'm pretty sure you can Linkens a Culling Blade. If the effect has been placed on an ally however, it should purge it?

I didn't know Manta kicks off static link, that's a good thing to know.

since dota2 wiki is usually quite up to date, i think, that this link is accurate.

http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Culling_Blade#Culling_Blade

which says that culling blade cant be blocked by linkens. BKB can only block the "non killing blow"-hit ...speaking those 300 dmg at level 3.

Apparently the only one of Axe's abilities blocked by Linken's Sphere is Battle Hunger. Manta definitely USED to break Static Link (I distinctly remember an Anti-Mage doing so against me once he had it), but that was a good few months ago and they have made some changes since - would need to check it again on the latest build, but I think that 0.1 second split would do it.

Not really sure on Press the Attack, laned against a Legion Commander for a few levels the other day, it didn't break the link, but the UI tips for my link damage definitely disappeared once she used it on herself - not sure if this is a UI issue, or I genuinely lost the buff as it's hard to tell when it's only 7/14/21 damage.
