Stat Impact

What Decay actually gives you

Decay delivers 8 spirit power, 65 bonus health, and 20mm cast range. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.

Best Heroes

Who wins most with Decay

Decay performs strongest on Warden (53.9% WR across 21,044 games), Haze (49.9% WR across 369 games), and Infernus (49.8% WR across 3,367 games). These heroes convert the item's stat bonuses into real win rate gains, usually because their kit scales linearly with the stats the item provides. If you play one of these heroes, this item belongs in your core build.

Most Picked By

Who buys Decay the most

In terms of raw pickup volume, Decay shows up most on Shiv (181,200 games), Drifter (26,236 games), and Rem (25,951 games). High pickup does not always mean high performance, so cross reference this list with the best heroes card above before blindly copying a build.
