Stat Impact

What Spellslinger actually gives you

Spellslinger delivers 6% ability cooldown reduction, 6 max stacks, and 18s buff duration. 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 Spellslinger

Spellslinger performs strongest on Vyper (63.8% WR across 1,638 games), Dynamo (63.7% WR across 2,005 games), and Wraith (63.4% WR across 69,639 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 Spellslinger the most
