DotA2 Skill: Borrowed Time

Borrowed Time

When activated, most negative buffs will be removed and any damage you take will heal instead of damaging you. If the ability is not on cooldown, it will passively activate when your health drops below the threshold.

Radius: 0 ( 900)
Health Threshold: 400 ( 550)
Redirected Damage: 0 ( 50%)
Duration: 4 / 5 / 6 ( 7 / 8 / 9)

• Has an instant cast time, but interrupts channeling upon cast. Does not interrupt channeling when passively activated.
• Applies a strong dispel upon activating, be it manually or passively activated.
• Can be manually activated even while stunned, cycloned, slept, taunted, hidden*, or during forced movement.
• It cannot be manually activated or shift-queued, but can passively activate while silenced, hexed or prevented from acting.
• Activates automatically when a damage instance (without the HP Removal* flag) drops Abaddon's health below 400, or hits Abaddon while already below 400 health.
  • The damage is dealt before Borrowed Time is activated, meaning if the damage instance exceeds Abaddon's current health, he dies without Borrowed Time activating.
  • This also means that it does not save Abaddon from instantly killing effects like Culling Blade and Ice Blast. Ice Blast also prevents any healing.
• Fully negates damage, causing several on-damage effects* to not trigger.
• Has the highest priority in the group of damage negating spells.
  • This means that when combined with other damage negating effects (e.g. Aphotic Shield or False Promise), Borrowed Time negates the damage while the others do not.
  • For False Promise, this means that Borrowed Time first turns damage into healing, and then it is registered by False Promise as a heal and not as damage.
• As with all damage manipulating effects, Borrowed Time only negates and heals from the 3 damage types. It does not heal from HP Removal.
  • The only exception is Heartstopper Aura, which it does heal from. However, it does not passively activate from it.
