Stat Impact

What Return Fire actually gives you

Return Fire delivers 10% bullet resist, 6s duration, and 23s cooldown. 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 Return Fire

Return Fire performs strongest on Victor (45.9% WR across 11,009 games), Kelvin (45.1% WR across 1,915 games), and Dynamo (44.9% WR across 2,764 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 Return Fire the most
