Notes:

• This ability works exclusively for melee Attack range is the range at which a hero may perform his or her basic attack on another unit. There are two main subdivisions of attacks: melee and ranged. Attack range can be extended by heroes.

• Upon proccing, grants the user 490 attack speed until the next attack.
  • This means it does not provide guaranteed full attack speed and can be countered by strong attack speed slows.
  • The attack speed has no set duration. It lasts until the user makes a second attack, no matter how long they wait.

• Since it is a simple attack speed bonus, it is possible to cancel the second attack and "store" the attack speed for later.

• The second attack is not an instant attack Attack damage is the amount of damage a unit is dealing with an unmodified basic attack; the base values are different for every hero. The total attack damage of a unit is the sum of . It uses regular attack animation times and attack cooldowns.

• The movement speed slow is applied on the proccing attack and on the attack after the proccing attack.
  • This means it is possible to slow two enemies with one proc, by switching attack targets after the proccing attack.

• The slow of multiple instances does not stack, but refreshes the duration instead.

• Procs on anything, including buildings Buildings are special units that are immune to most spells, use structure armor, and are immobile. Destroying a building rewards you with a bounty, similar to most creeps or heroes. Destroying towers rewards the entire , wards This page is about in-game units. For cosmetic pets, see Summoned Unit. Summons are a type of units that are created with spells. Players do not encounter them, unless they play as, with or against and allies. The slow fully applies to allies, but not to buildings and wards.

Tips

• The best items in combination to increase your damage are those who grant critical hit and armor reduction. A Skull Basher is also good to get a chance to bash from the two quick attacks.
  • You can combine the echo sabre with a Daedalus and Satanic`s active to instantly restore your HP.
• Echo Sabre`s ability is effectively a passive 1-hit-only Overpower. This makes it a great item on heroes whose passive abilities rely on attack speed to be effective, similar to how Ursa`s Fury Swipes relies on the attack speed of Overpower.
• The attack speed from the passive proc lasts until a second attack is done. This makes it possible to "store" the massive attack speed bonus for a planned strike on an enemy. One just has to attack a creep to proc the passive ability and immediately cancel the second attack. The stored attack speed can come very handy when ganking enemies which have strong attack speed slows like Enchantress with her Untouchable or Phoenix` Fire Spirits.
