Previously called Debuff Remover. Guides using the old name are out of date.

What it does

Purges every non-ultimate debuff currently on you and, if it removed anything, heals you and grants move speed. It is the main hard cleanse in the game.

Numbers: 45s cooldown; 250 heal; +2m Move Speed for 3s; +10% Spirit Resist

Buy it when

Buy when enemy debuffs — slows, silences, anti-heal, disarms, hexes — are what is killing you rather than raw damage.

Skip it when

It cannot be used while you are stunned or asleep, so it is not an answer to hard lockdown; take Unstoppable or Indomitable for that.

Problems it answers

Slows — “I can never walk away from a fight.”
Silences and ability denial — “My abilities get shut off at the worst moment.”
Zoning and area denial — “I get pushed out of every fight position.”
