Buy it when
Buy on supports to harden a focused ally against a caster team while adding pressure damage.
Skip it when
Only one instance can be active on a hero, so it does not stack with a second Scourge.
Problems it answers
- Sustained spirit damage — “Their abilities chip me down constantly.”
- Stuns and hard CC — “I get locked down and deleted.”
- Burst damage — “I die before I can react.”
- Unkillable frontline — “I cannot kill their tank.”
